My stay at The Fortress was a memorable experience with spacious rooms that offered stunning views of the ocean. The staff were incredibly attentive and created a friendly atmosphere, making sure our kids were well cared for. While the breakfast and lunch options were excellent, the dinner menus left a bit to be desired on some nights. The location is perfect for tranquility, but accessing the beach could be improved.

I had an unexpectedly great experience at this hotel. The service was superb, and I appreciated the spacious, clean rooms with great amenities. The pool was clean and large, and my child loved the kids' activity room. The food was excellent, especially the authentic Indian dishes. However, the location is quite far from Galle, which can be a bit inconvenient for exploring the area.

This hotel features wonderful staff who genuinely care, but there are significant issues with service consistency and maintenance that detracted from our stay. The food was good, but the dining experience was marred by inconvenient service by the pool and beach. I would consider returning, but with realistic expectations about the hotel's service level compared to other resorts.

This resort is an absolute gem right on the beach, offering spacious, clean rooms with stunning ocean views. The dining options are top-notch, with diverse menus and high-quality food, but the bathroom privacy leaves much to be desired. The pool area is a wonderful place to relax, although the service around it can be a bit slow during the mornings. Overall, it’s a fantastic place for a luxurious escape, but a few areas could use some improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a truly unforgettable experience! The breathtaking views of the ocean and the stunning infinity pool created a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The rooms were spacious and luxurious, though I did feel a bit exposed in the ground floor rooms. The food was exceptional, and the staff were genuinely welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. While the dining options were fabulous, I noticed that the hotel might not represent the typical concierge experience some guests may expect from five-star resorts. Overall, it was a fantastic getaway that offered great value for money.
