Absolutely excellent
“We have been travellling all over Sri Lanka and have stayed in many hotels. This one is the best we have stayed in. The rooms were spacious, clean and luxurious with big balconies with a sea view. The room and bathroom were spotless and meticulously cleaned daily. No insects or anything in the room. Aircon was efficient and quiet and there was a fridge to keep your drinks and water in. The large pool was clean and a pleasure to swim in. There was a small private beach with rocks and sand where we watched turtles playing in the water every day. The staff were all friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, and we were well looked after by Kashera, the head waiter. Saman the pool man also took us to see the turtles on the beach and spent ages telling us about the wildlife. All in all a first rate experience and we will definitely stay here again when we visit Sri Lanka next time.”

Lovely location, extremely relaxing
“Had a great time. We were very happy with the room, food and the service provided. The beach area and the pool is very nice. Also the front office staff helped us a lot with finding a mechanic to fix the oil leak in our vehicle. So overall, had a wonderful time and really appreciate the staff.”

Wheelchair accessible hotel with first class staff
“This is a spacious and modern hotel on a secluded point away from the crowds. The key to this hotel is their first class staff who are always on hand to ensure you have a good stay. I am in a wheelchair and the hotel is a breeze to get around with the only issue being a small step up into the bathroom. I could pull myself in and out reasonably easy in a manual wheelchair. They have a beautiful pool and the ground are immaculate with lots of comfortable sun loungers in the shade or in the sun. The food is great with lots of fresh fruit at all meals. ”

Exceptional - 14 night romance trip
“We stayed at Sooriya Resort & Spa for 14 nights. The staff were very friendly and attentive, helping us book tuk tuks as well as recommending day trips out. The lifeguard ensured that we always had fresh towels, and was very knowledgeable of the wildlife in the area which we were particularly interested in. The resort and rooms are cleaned to a high standard, with faultless facilities. Although the resort is not in the heart of Tangalle, this didnt prevent us from trips to National parks, temples and other cities. The beach and pool were great on days we stayed at the hotel to relax, the food was always made fresh and tasty. Overall I would definitely recommend Sooriya Resort & Spa as a place to stay on your visit to Sri Lanka!”

Exceptional - 2 night family trip
“This hotel is one of the best hotels we have stayed in Sri Lanka. The staff are extremely friendly and the food excellent and well presented. The kitchen staff were ready to serve you with customized dishes and drinks. Gamini the chef personally greeted us and made sure we were served well. Room service was to time and the lady at the Spa was knowledgeable and gave us the best foot massage so far in our travels. I would recommend this hotel without hesitation to anyone who wants a super experience in beautiful Tangalle Sri Lanka. Happy and pleasant travels!! ”

Mon meilleur htel au Sri-Lanka
“Merveilleux htel, les chambres sont propres et confortables. Le Balcon vraiment exceptionnel vue sur la mer et tres grand avec chaises longues et table au dessus de la piscine, vraiment merveilleux d'y paser la soiree avec la brise de la mer! Nous avons loue 5 nuits et sommes rests 3 nuits de plus! La piscine est superbe le dejeunet vari et dlicieux! Le seul hic c'est isol mais un ptit resto a ct loue des motos pour pas cher! La.mer est dangereuse et no .baignable car rocheux mais on peut y voir des tortues et a 500 metres il y a une plages baignable!
Nathalie, 5 night trip”

Fredfull oase
“Fantastisk fredfullt sted med kjempe hyggelig personale. I nromrdet finnes mindre strender der du kan se skilpadder og annet dyreliv. Vi ble oppgradert og fikk et kjempe flott rom med nydelig utsikt. Vi trivdes kjempe godt p stedet. Vi synes det var litt dumt at det ikke l litt mer restauranter/sm butikker i nromrdet, men for vrt 3 dagers opphold gikk dette greit. Naturen og stillheten rundt gjorde opp for dette. ”

An ideal place unwind, relax and Rejuvenate
“This resort is hidden in a beautiful cove on the Rekawa Bay at Ranna in Tangalle South of Sri Lanka. The Rooms and Toilets are very spacious with very big balconies overlooking the Indian Ocean. The hotel even though it was built in 2016 looked well maintained and it was hard to find any places of neglect due to the sea erosion etc as common in most hotels by the sea. It showed that the little things have been well looked into by the staff.
We of course love to be in places with less crowd and for that matter less locals ;-)). This was an ideal place to relax, unwind and rejuvenate . With only 36 rooms this place is ideal for such experiences. We took long lonely walks on the beautiful Rekewa golden beach amidst jungle trees stretching the coast.
There are amazing birdlife around including a family of Red wattled Lapwings who were nesting and growing a family of chicks , they occasionally coming to sip water from the pool which was so relaxing to watch. We were told that hundreds of turtles come to the rocks on the beach to get a breath of fresh air in the mid afternoon unfortunately we were not able to witness this...................”

Très bel hôtel, personnel au top !
“Un superbe hôtel isolé sur une côte déserte : idéal pour se ressourcer ou pour terminer un circuit
au Sri Lanka ! Les chambres sont très confortables et orientées face à la mer et à la piscine.
Extrêmement propre. Personnel vraiment très sympathique, chaleureux et aux petits soins
(restauration et responsable de la piscine). Nourriture variée et de qualité. Juste sur les rochers de
la plage, possibilité d’observer de nombreuses tortues marines (vers 15h en février). La plage de
Rekawa n’est pas très loin pour observer les tortues sur la plage durant la nuit. Au final, un
excellent séjour reposant dans cet hôtel.”

Wow.....what an incredible place!
“From the moment we arrived we had exceptional service. Every staff member goes out of their way to ensure your stay is as perfect as possible, the hotel is situated above the sea level with stunning views across the Indian Ocean. We had travelled down from Colombo so were hot & hungry when we arrived.
We had the lobster & chicken curry...wow! The lifeguard Saman is one of the nicest hotel employees I’ve ever met. He spoke to us about the area, told us about the beach that you can swim in, about a 45 second walk & the rocky beach where you could see the turtles feed in the afternoon...”

Very friendly place with very friendly staff
“We stayed there in January 2019. We found the hotel very relaxing and enjoyable. They have some wonderful staff who made us feel very welcome and helped us very way possible. Specially one reception staff called Rishana Sanjeewani who advised us regarding various places to see in Tangalle.She was very friendly and helpful. She comes from that place and has comprehensive knowledge of that area, hence her advice was great.”
