Our room was conveniently located right by the pool entrance, making swimming incredibly easy! It faced the ocean, but the waves were too rough for swimming, so we could only enjoy walks along the beach. As it was the weekend, the hotel had children's activities and evening shows. The buffet was very generous, and the desserts were delicious. A big thank you to Jayaru who checked us in; they discovered it was my birthday the next day and surprised me with a birthday cake at breakfast.
We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, we were quickly settled and met with a welcome drink. The staff were very friendly, but the rest of the hotel staff were very strangely behaving(noisy, shouting, arguing among themselves).
Our room was clean and clean, the room was a large balcony as well
big refrigerator. Very good was water pressure in the shower. The hotel location is also excellent (through the road beach, 5 minutes walk to the grocery store) Fear the mafia of Tuckers

We arrived at a fully booked hotel. It was terrible. It was mostly Russian package holidaymakers (families or seniors), with very few young people. It's a good thing we only spent two nights there; we wanted to leave the next day.
Breakfast was so crowded that you'd spend five minutes walking around with your plate looking for a free table. The Russians seemed starved, scooping up food and pushing each other.
On the beach, the sun loungers were so close together, it was as if they were lying on top of each other, there was no privacy.
The beach was small, cluttered with boats, the sand was unpleasant, and the bottom was rocky.
The rooftop pool requires a fee if you live below the 9th floor; it's unclear how to get this information when booking.
We stayed at this hotel for one night. While the property is quite old and the décor and furnishings are noticeably dated, the room was impeccably clean. I was able to walk barefoot in the room without any discomfort, which reflects the hotel’s strong cleanliness standards.
The location is one of the hotel’s highlights, situated beautifully along Hikkaduwa Beach with plenty of beach chairs and sunbeds available for guests. Breakfast and dinner were satisfactory, though not particularly outstanding.
The service was very good, with warm, friendly, and attentive hospitality, which is consistent with the high standard of service generally found in Sri Lanka. The hotel was also very kind in allowing our driver to stay as well, which was a thoughtful and generous gesture. Overall, it was a pleasant beachfront stay with excellent cleanliness and service, despite the aging facilities.
My trip to Sri Lanka staying at RIU Hotel was amazing. It was my first time booking an All-Inclusive package, and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect—but overall, the experience exceeded my expectations.
There were a few areas that could be improved. The food, for instance, felt a bit low in quality, with limited options for a healthy diet. The gym was quite small, with limited equipment, and it would be great if the opening hours were extended to accommodate more guests throughout the day.
That said, the service was exceptional. The staff were attentive and professional, always anticipating guests’ needs—especially in the buffet restaurants.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to try the à la carte restaurants as they were fully booked and very much in demand—something we weren’t aware of in advance.
We’d definitely love to return once the monsoon season is over, as the weather wasn’t ideal during our stay. The beach, while beautiful, was unsafe for swimming at the time, which was a bit disappointing.
Сам отель неплохой, именно в этом районе подобных мало. Большой номер, вид отличный, завтрак стандартный, персонал старается. Сам пляж именно перед отелем не очень, но если пройтись левее, там уже поинтереснее. Справа грязноватая рыбацкая деревня. Рядом есть различные кафе, можно что-нибудь выбрать.
Very pleasant stay in the ancient city of Galle, giving people an unexpected surprise!
The location of the hotel is a prime location, deeply embedded in the core area of the ancient city of Galle ~ 15 minutes walk to the Galle Railway Station, 5 minutes to the long coastline of the castle, the major attractions in the ancient city are within reach, and travel is convenient to no need to deliberately plan the route.
The most fascinating thing is the hotel itself: as a century-old building retained in the Dutch occupation period, the retro European decoration is full of the charm of the times, every detail is precipitated with historical texture, it is no wonder that it has become a popular landmark for many tourists to punch in. It is a blockbuster with a sense of atmosphere.
The service is impeccable! The staff is professional and warm-hearted, as kind as friends. In particular, we should exaggerate the head of the hall, Salander, the warm and humorous character is very infectious, his service is meticulous to the bone, not only patiently answering our various questions, but also actively sharing local niche play, the whole process of intimate escort, so that the journey is particularly comfortable.
Special morning tea and breakfast are the finishing touch: each dish is made on the spot, the ritual feeling is full, fresh ingredients are matched with authentic flavor, the entrance is an unforgettable taste bud enjoyment, open every day full of vitality.
The time here is pleasant and healing, whether it is a stroll in the ancient city, a hair dryer on the beach, or a quiet feeling of slow life in the hotel, it has left precious memories. This perfect stay experience is definitely worth recommending to every traveler to Galle!

I really liked the hotel itself. The room is well-equipped, there is even wireless charging, YouTube TV works. Stylish, modern, clean.
There is a beautiful swimming pool with a view. It is perfect for a secluded, quiet holiday. A tuk tuk takes you to the nearest beach. But you still have to walk a bit. The beach is wave-free, you can swim.
The restaurant is priced above average, but it is delicious and well-served
The tuk tuk drivers try to increase the price because the hotel is on a mountain.
Oh ... This hotel just fell in love with itself!!! Photos I do not apply because they are real in the hotel profile. Here is everything! We were in the 4 suite for the 3rd floor and it is really the best hotel in Sri. Very atmospheric and thoughtful, the eyes are joyful for every trivial. Service: Settled early and fast, cleaned in room 2 times a day!!!!!! , the pool is clean, the food in the restaurant is delicious , but expensive.
The ocean is not calm here, but if you are on a car or on a bike, 10 or 20 minutes in different directions and either Unavatuna or Veligma or Mirissa ( tuck will also deliver ).
Restaurants are also in step-by-step availability.
I'm the second time in Sri and there's something to compare with, so I highly recommend. The hotel is worth its money, not ordinary network and not killed local. We'll be back here 100%
Aaaaa and on the 3rd floor a charming patio with lying, just huge,this bonus is just a gun
Great

Very Good
Very good for family stay. Me & my daughter enjoyed very much. Staff are great. Highly recommend it.
The breakfast and dinner buffet is very good.I asked for masala tea and their indian chef Balbeer Singh made it to perfection.The rooms are spacious and clean. Friendly and helpful staff.We are taken care of very well by Jayaru and Nelka. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and the hotel made it very special. The only mark down for the hotel is lack of sun loungers and parasols for the guests.You are constantly struggling to get shade under the trees.A 5 star hotel should make provision for their guests.As they would have details of all bookings.
Loved the location, which is within short walking distance to the Galle lighthouse. But what I loved the most was the modern interiors of this Art Deco building . Our room was well designed and clean, complete with a bathtub and lovely marble finishing. I personally felt that the bed was one of the most comfortable I experienced during my week in Sri Lanka. I also enjoyed the sunset views from the rooftop bar and the pool, even though a little small was great for cooling down after exploring the old town on foot. My only comment would be that the shower amenities weren't in a good place, could easily slip during shower time. Breakfast had an option of either local fare (to be prebooked) and western fare which was tasty. Definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Sri Lanka.
My wife and i had a fantastic stay at coral beach hotel. Very friendly staff. They even gave my wife a lovely gift on our departure. Highly recommended. Watch the surfers from your own private balcony un the sunshine.
Great stay. Everything was almost perfect, all the staff were friendly and helpful. But a special mention for Sam and Tharushi in the Palms they were so attentive, not just to me but I saw their exceptional service given to everyone they interacted with. Tharushi’s beautiful smile greeting us at the door….😊. I hope to return one day soon, although my stay was short, I feel I had a connection with the whole place but especially Sam and Tharushi. Thank you 💕
Amamzing! New and very welcoming place and the restaurant is very nice as well. Additionally the staff is extremely helpful with anything. Thank you again the Capital!
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by wonderfully friendly staff at the reception desk, and our positive impression continued when we saw our room. It was incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean and a perfect space to relax in. Unfortunately, our enthusiasm dipped when we looked out the window. We had eagerly anticipated the sea view we booked, but found ourselves on the first floor looking directly onto the main path to the restaurant. The lack of both a view and privacy was a real disappointment. The challenges were compounded by a local festival taking place during our stay. This rendered the beach unusable due to the sheer volume of people. Worse, the road closures made leaving the hotel a logistical headache, leaving us feeling a bit trapped. A final frustration was discovering there were no shops nearby and no convenience store in the hotel itself, so be sure to pack everything you might need. In summary, while we can't fault the hotel on its cleanliness or the friendliness of its staff, the experience was significantly hampered by the room mix-up and the festival chaos. It wasn’t a bad stay, but it was far from the relaxing getaway we had planned.
