Our bungalow was spacious and spotless. Sad that no one gets privacy on their verandah. I wished we'd had a front-line seaview bungalow but even then everyone walks past your place. Food was pretty good, especially the curries,and breakfasts were superb. The buffet hall is a bit frantic but OK if you get a quiet corner. Beach lovely and sea... More

Travelled to Hotel Dolphin in February for 2 weeks. Stayed here June 2011, staff were just as good as last time, waiters room boys and bar staff were all pleasant with cheery greetings and big smiles. Room and hotel generally was spotless, only disappointment was the food, chips with almost every meal, and not a lot of choice on meals.... More

Having travelled far and wide this hotel tries hard but in my opinion it's a 3 star working towards a 4 star at best. The staff are lovely people and go out of their way to please. The food is lovely and the hotel generally is spotlessly clean and tidy. The weather was 40 degrees on several days which was... More

Checking in staff extremely rude and it took almost half an hour to book in, one certain male member of staff was so rude he was even shouting at me in front of all the guests because I didnt have my wife and daughters passports with me but seeing I was payint the bill my passport should have been sufficient...

I can strongly recommend the villa area, villas 57 and 58 are superb. Our only complaints are that sometimes the food was... More

Had two weeks at the Dolphin at the beginning of January and it was wonderful. The villa was well appointed and cleaned every day with fresh towels and flowers on the bed. Bottled water is supplied (2) every day as well as tea, coffee and coffee-mate. There was always something for everyone on the menu in the dining room though... More

We stayed for the Christmas and New Year, both specials evenings had exceptional buffet meals and entertainment, we stayed in a bungalow on the frontline of the beach which was spotlessly clean and comfortable, the hotel and grounds were beautiful staff second to none friendly and helpful. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with cheery friendly people we went on... More
