“Amazing stay at Shinagwa Beach Hotel”
The hotel was situated on a fabulous beach, the view from our room was utterly amazing. The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay a great experience, the food was of a very high standard, and as everyone in previous reviews commented on the head cocktail barman - we totally agree that he was exceptional. I would like to thank all of the staff for such a wonderful stay - we loved it.

The hotel is on the beach.Mesmerising ocean views from the rooms. The b'fast is somewhat ok with the crowd.Not much varities.But manageable.

“Resort promises with its helpful team, but needs training, improved amenities, & imaginitive cuisine”
The resort offers a modest and humble setting with limited facilities. While the room rates are on the higher side, the staff is helpful and friendly, though they would benefit from additional training—such as respecting the DND policy. The food could use more creativity and variety. Management and the team genuinely aim to make your stay comfortable, but their efforts are constrained by limited training and resources. Suggestions for Improvement: Staff Training: Focus on hospitality standards, including respecting guest privacy and DND policies. Food Innovation: Introduce more variety and creative dishes to enhance the dining experience. Facility Upgrade: Consider adding basic amenities to justify the room rates. Resource Allocation: Provide the team with better tools and resources to deliver a more polished guest experience.

“Stunning sunsets, but rooms, food & drinks could improve”
Right on the beach front, our rooms had a great view of the setting sun. The beach was long and uncrowded but the red flag was up. The pool, located in a courtyard outside main reception, the bar and the restaurant was nice, towels were provided. The garden area, also on the beach front had sun loungers and umbrella shade. The rooms were clean enough and the bed was comfortable, slippers and bathrobes were provided as well as toiletries. The breakfast buffet had a decent selection and it was nice to have a slight variation the following morning too.

They served stale cheese for breakfast, when I addressed it they said that's how the cheese is meant to be.

“A nice, cozy, very sustainable and well-managed hotel according to high hospitality standards!”
This hotel is a pure sweet spot: a combination beautiful sandy beach with nice ocean view through palm trees, excellent and well-trained staff, huge variety of very tasty food, comfortable rooms and excellent management with focus on sustainability. We booked a room with breakfast and intended to dine outside, however upon our arrival a hotel manager Mr Fernando warmly welcomed us and recommended to try dinner buffet... And we did - the best experience (both breakfast and dinner) comparing 5 hotels in Sri-Lanka we visited during our 3 weeks vacation. Additional compliment to the way the hotel is managed - exceptional level of service, safety, sustainability and attention to the guests needs. I can't put in a review all the things we're positevely surprised with this hotel - it far exceeded our expectations, definitely recommend to stay here!
