The hotel is in a great location, right by the sea. You can see surfers and swim directly in the sea. The swimming pool in the backyard is also very large, but the facilities are relatively old and the staff speak loudly in the corridor.

The hotel is in a good location, the room is spacious, and fruits are provided. The price of dinner in the restaurant is medium. Unfortunately, it comes with a 10-minute massage per person, but there is only one masseur. This needs to be improved because it rained heavily on the day we arrived and the outdoor swimming pool was unavailable.

The environment is first-class, it is a good place for a vacation, and the staff are very friendly and enthusiastic! We used the taxi app Pick Me to take a taxi in Galle, and then took the bus to Mirissa. In fact, as long as it is not the rush hour, the conditions of their buses are passable. Much cleaner than India, maybe there will be surprises

The hotel rooms were amazing. The A/C was excellent. The beds were comfortable and fluffy. The pool was cooling and nice and easily accessible. Buffet breakfast was amazing and delicious. Restaurants and shops were nearby to the hotel. Really difficult to depart from the hotel

Possibly the best place to stay in Ahangama. A completely secure property equipped with lifeguards by the pool and by the beach too. Clean, bright and well equipped bedrooms with A/C, WiFi hot water and good water pressure. Great breakfast buffet with a good selection of western and Sri Lankan fare. Excellent coffee! Possibly the best rice and curry, made to order. spice levels can be selected on request. Their western fare is good too. Super friendly staff, child friendly space and a spa run by a fantastic Balinese masseuse. Highly recommend booking with insight.

Never come this hotel ! It is all show and no service ! The staff is super rude and non apologetic , we ordered veg breakfast for ourselves but what we got was sausages and eggs along with chicken sandwich in our packet. Mistake on my part was that I ordered 13 packets and we had to cancel the rest . But hotel staff ( Mr. Kosala Munadeniya) says my mistake of ordering 13 packets is bigger than his is take of serving non veg food to jains ! So if you are an Indian or a vegetarian / Vegan , do not come here. They clearly do not respect Indian values . As for the food in general it is pathetic and the food buffet is also very bad. DO NOT FALL PREY TO THE PICTURES ONLINE!! I was surrounded by 4-5 staff members where they were trying to explain me Indians are too demanding !! We are not demanding , we expect a little bit understanding that then when we ask for veg sandwich and your staff writes chicken sandwich by mistake !! I do not care !! It is your mistake and you should own it !!
Response from Property: Dear Valued Guest, I acknowledge your feedback. However, we are deeply concerned and disappointed with your false allegations and accusations. Based on your very own disappointments created due to unfair expectations to get freebies. For your selfish and greedy attitude do not try to harm the reputation of a hotel that is endeavouring to maintain good quality. Those who will go through past comments of Insight Resort will certainly have a view on you as a liar. You ordered 13 packets of breakfast that also at 11.15 pm in the night for the following early morning to go on whale watching. Initially, our staff at the reception refused the order saying it was too late but as you pleaded and said please give us whatever you can he went out of the way, called the chef and got the ok to accept. Then confirmed 13 packets. Please do not lie, you never requested vegetarian meals. We have documents to prove that in your reservation you have never requested a vegetarian meal. If you are Indian vegetarians/vegans obviously you would request vegan/vegetarian food in your booking. You firmly booked 15 packets not 13 as you have mentioned and did not cancel any, the way you have implied that you have cancelled a part. However, in the early morning, only 5 woke and turned up to go for whale watching obviously by that time we had prepared all 15 packets. So balance 10 had to be kept for the rest who didn’t go for their whale watching. When you refused to pay for the order of 15 packets but wanted to pay only for 5 who went on whale watching, Kosala Munadeniya then said he can’t do anything but consider breakfast consumed for the other 10 as well. It's disappointing those who we respect and bow down to as decent guests become absolute liars. There was no story of vegetarian food during your stay. Anyone reading your complaint can easily understand you are on a very vindictive and on a personal attack against the hotel saying don’t go to this resort, but the substance of the complaint is false and very little. How all this happened was when you refused to have the leftover 10 packets ordered for breakfast and instead, you wanted to enjoy the buffet. Then our staff said if you agree to pay for all 15 packets of the takeaway breakfast separately, then we will let you eat from the buffet as your entitled breakfast. You and your group were greedy wanting the buffet but stingy to refuse to pay for your order. Still, you didn’t agree and started shouting and screaming in the restaurant. This caused a lot of disturbance and embarrassment to all other very decent guests of ours. Due to this acting manager called the Resident manager and explained the issue. Then he gave a suggestion that you and your other guests have the food from the breakfast packets ordered and if there is any more requirement, to take it from the buffet as well to avoid unfair disturbance. During this, it was well observed all of you ate non-vege food from the packet and also picked up non-

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We received a cold cleansing towel and a glass of juice on arrival. The reception was very pleasant.  We arrived too early to check in but was allowed to use the pool and / or beach. Our room was ready for us 2 hours early, so we were able to check in. The pool area is pleasant with plenty of sun loungers. The pool was very clean. There is a private beach area, which is used as a volleyball pitch. In my opinion, it would lend itself much better to additional sun lounging area. In the time we stayed, there was no volleyball played, and in fact, the net wasn't even up, so it was wasted space, which was unusable due to the lack of shade. The room was pleasant enough. We had a ground floor room with access to a small private seating area. We could also access the beach and pool from leaving our terrace except it was not possible to lock the door from the outside. It would have been useful if the key worked on both doors. The room was adequately clean and water, tea and coffee supplied free of charge. There was a mini bar available at extra cost. The grounds are kept very tidy and there was plenty of staff around to help with anything you needed. The breakfast is plentiful and a good selection. We were staying over Independence Day and the hotel was putting on a show of ceremonial dance and music, together with traditional Sri Lanka food (buffet style), for additional  cost. We booked a table. On seating at our table the drinks menu was offered but we were told that no alcohol was being served in observation of Independence Day. To have no alcohol was not a problem,  however it would have been good to know that this was the case. The food and selection was good. Sadly the layout of the event hadn't been executed to the best ability.  The act was performed around the pool area, where there was one large table (I later found out that this table was exclusively hotel corporates) all other tables were set up on the private beach/volleyball pitch and couldn't see most of the performance as there were palm trees between the performance and the tables. Also the act seemed to perform for the one and only table set up at the pool area. The performance was mildly entertaining at best. A bonfire had been lit on the beach, and whilst impressive at first, we all then became consumed in smoke and the fire had to be put out. With all that in mind, we wouldn't have booked the dinner. There is a long list of 'don't's, which I understand but feels very no, no, no, no. It would be received kindly to read "we would ask guests to refrain from; " With all that said, the room was clean,  the beds comfortable and the general vibe and atmosphere at the hotel was very friendly. The hotel is in walkable distance of a number of restaurants and convenience shops. A special mention for Melvin,  the Hotel coordinator and our two main Servers;  Sujith and Isuru, who were never far away to help us.  Melvin was extremely helpful and pleasant to c

The hotel was very nice and clean. Staff were extremely friendly. The food was very nice, and varied. There are goals at the pool, so it was easy and fun to play waterpolo. There was also live music one night, during/after dinner, which was nice. For three person rooms, the extra bed gave off “hospital bed” vibes, wasn’t the most comfortable, but still sufficient.

We had an absolutely fantastic day out at Insight Resort! The hospitality was exceptional, and we were thoroughly impressed with the well-maintained pool and the immaculate cleanliness of our room. It was the perfect place to celebrate my friend's birthday. A huge thank you to Mr. Melvin, Kosala, Shehan, Isuru, Kavindu, and Nimsara for making our day so special. We highly recommend Insight Resort!

A lovely little hotel, good for a few nights stay. Highlights *Rooms were clean and large, with a lovely view of the ocean from the balcony * breakfast was very flavoursome, with good variety and quality * Staff were very friendly and efficient * Dinner outside was atmospheric, relaxing and very, very delicious! Cons * Quite a small area- so there's not much else to do apart from the pool (beach was too rough for swimming during our time) * Not the most 'happening' area, so while you get a local experience, there's not much else to do nearby/not many attractive dinner options walking distance from the hotel * No elevators so those with mobility issues may struggle Overall, a lovely short stay.
