"This was actually our second stay at Lum as when our flights were delayed we wanted a little haven to relax and enjoy our extra time in the South.

Fresh, spacious, clean rooms that surrounded a relaxing garden and a beautiful pool area. We ate out for most meals but also sampled the breakfast and main menu here and all the food was very tasty and beautifully presented. I would...

Top Bandaranayake Hotel Reviews

Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We're a New Zealand family of four living in the UAE and stayed for eight nights in mid October. We had a fantastic holiday and would happily return. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the traditional Sri Lankan welcome dance was a lovely touch. All rooms face the ocean. Our spacious rooms had great views of the beach and pools, comfortable beds, good bathrooms and excellent air conditioning. Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of variety, fresh fruit, juices, an omelette station, French toast and bacon. The pools were clean, with food and drinks delivered poolside, although the water was quite warm. The gym was well equipped for a resort. Surf lessons directly outside the hotel were great value at LKR 4,000 per person for 1 hr and 15 min. Our boys loved them and surfed every day. We enjoyed the beachfront Surf's Up restaurant, and the Weligama Kitchen buffet at LKR 9,500 per person. Hotel dining and excursions can be expensive, so compare prices with local alternatives. October brought some rain, but it was warm and the showers didn't stop us enjoying our stay. Useful tips: ATMs are across the road, local restaurants are within walking distance, and a cheap tuktuk to town cost around LKR 500. Overall, the beachfront location, excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms and easy access to surfing made this a great family resort. The warm pools and higher prices were minor drawbacks. We'd We'd happily stay again. Highly recommended from this Kiwi family 🇳🇿🇱🇰"

Riff Hikkaduwa

10/10 Excellent

"The Riff is a beautifully designed hotel, immaculately maintained and wonderfully organised. The staff are warm, friendly, and attentive, the food is absolutely delicious, and the location is perfect. We have loved our stay and can’t wait to return!"

Southbeach Weligama

8/10 Good

"Our stay was amazing, the rooftop is the best. The food is really good and prepared with care. It’s a new hotel so obviously there are teething issues like- 1-There’s a hairdryer in the bathroom but no compatible input for its plug. 2- The gym machines even though new but are not maintained or cleaned regularly. 3- The charging point behind the bed can’t be reached cause of the headboard. These can be fixed easily so other than this the rooms are spacious and spotless. Pretty kid friendly too."
