Hotels near Matara, Matara

Ce petit hôtel d'une dizaine de chambres est tenu par le patron et sa femme, tous deux très sympathiques. L'hôtel est situé tout près de la plage, dans une rue perpendiculaire à la rue principale, donc beaucoup plus calme!! Les chambres sont immenses, idem pour le lit XXL, au moins 2m20 de largeur! Très grande terrasse également... Le petit déjeuner est complet: toast avec beurre et confiture, omelette, thé ou café, salade de fruits ou jus de fruits frais selon les jours, du fromage blanc, et même de délicieuses crêpes au chocolat ou à la banane... Il y a beaucoup d'espaces par rapport au petit nombre de chambres, et c'est très bien comme çà. Le patron est exceptionnellement serviable, il sait toujours répondre à la moindre demande, il peut vous changer l'argent à un bon taux.... Tout était donc parfait !!!

We stayed for 2 nights and wished we stayed longer! Room was spacious and clean with an amazing view on the high floor. We had dinner buffet at Weligama Kitchen and food was great! Breakfast served there was delicious with great variety from Western , Asian, Indian but the Sri Lankan style breakfast was the best! Tide Bar is a great place to relax and have drinks with scrumptious snack too. We spent most of our time at the resort and it was very relaxing. The environment was suitable for couples and family at the same time. Lastly, service was top notch, everyone was friendly and helpful. TK and Kalpani from Weligama kitchen always checking on us, Sachinthaka , Asanka and Dharmika from Tides always cheerful and greeting us when we head there for drinks. Would definitely return and recommend to family and friends visiting beautiful Sri Lanka!

I recently stayed at Era Eliya Villas and Gardens, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The beach was stunning ,perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful views. The rooms were very nice, offering a perfect blend of comfort. I was particularly impressed with the food, which was incredible.Thanks to Deen and the team for good food and also the whole Era Eliya team for their best service!

The most expensive and best hotel in this trip, Roland Chateau's brand really deserves its reputation. On a hill in Villigmo, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is absolutely nothing to say. The rooms are also very large, and the entrance is shared by 4 rooms. The swimming pool is slightly different from the single-family pool villa. In the evening, I used a 6-course dinner in the restaurant. It was cooked and eaten. There were only four of us, which was equivalent to a private restaurant. The chef of Roland Chateau really deserves its reputation and is worthy of 350 Michelin stars. Stars, the breakfast environment is also top-notch, what I want to complain about is the price, the price of nearly 8,000 yuan is indeed high

We stayed at the hotel in July 2024 and liked everything very much. Responsive staff, check-in and check-out did not take much time. At breakfast I was pleased with the abundance of fruits, and for dinner there were a lot of sweets. The breakfast and dinner menu is varied. Two beaches, a swimming pool, well-groomed green areas. Wonderful, relaxing holiday! The rooms are really tired, but this was not a problem. We really liked everything!

This was my 6th Aman experience and not the best one. The positive’s: I arrived in the evening so didn’t get a sense of how stunning the beach was. One of the best I have seen in Sri Lanka was a combination of golden sands, blue water and palm trees. Grounds are nice, villas are posh GM Carl, checks on you daily. There was a strong start to the Aman hospitality at check-in. They do not have TVs and their response was, we will happy to instal one. The food was really good in both the beach club and the main restaurant. The reality: Activities are hit or miss due to weather, I appreciate the effort to make sure everything is great, but you need to make the decision to go forward with an experience more than 2 hours before you go. City tour was off brand and the transfers were both bad. The negatives: Going to the hotel the driver was speeding in the rain, coming back another driver had no clue where he was going. We messaged our butler and he basically said he wasn’t working for another 3 hours (not what you want to hear). We stopped at the other Aman to grab a drink and use the facilities. We ran into another manager from Amanwella. He said he came to check on us which was really nice, but he didn’t talk to the driver or see us off to make sure the 2nd half of the drive went smoothly. Which it didn’t.

The beach at the hotel is too wavy to swim and can only bask in the sun. But not far away, there is another public beach more than 100 meters, where you can swim. There are many choices for buffet breakfast and dinner, and the taste is good. Of course, there are occasional mistakes, such as grilled too raw beef shoulder. There are very few things for children to entertain. There is a game room where you can draw, watch TV, play games, etc., but the maintenance is not very good. The service is generally good, ushered in. However, there are more ingredients for the show, and some details need attention. Overall, the price / performance ratio is average, and it should be done.

It is truly a small luxury hotel set in a beautiful tranquil area. You wake up to the sound of nature to enjoy a simple continental or Sri Lankan breakfast (must preorder the night before) over looking the pool, onto the forest and the sea. It is easy to forget your worries and immerse yourself in this serene surroundings. We enjoyed it so much we extended our stay by another night, and during our entire stay there was only one other family, making it a truly exceptionally peaceful experience. It is important to note that the hotel is located up the mountain so be prepared you will need to get a tuk tuk or a driver to get you to and fro the hustle and bustle of the coastal towns. If you are keen on being amongst the action, this will feel highly inconvenient. If you are committed to quietude I would highly recommend going for the larger rooms, as it truly elevates the experience and don’t forget to treat yourself to a spa treatment as well. The hotel is well appointed and maintained, but the furnishings are starting to get a little run down if you examine closely. The staff are plentiful and helpful, however some are a little amateurish. They do run on island time so if you are in the rush (eg early check out), you have been warned. Overall a wonderful experience at an excellent price point - at around $250 USD per night, I would come back again.

Departed for Sri Lanka on September 28, 2023, and checked into the Amangalla Hotel in Galle Fort. It was the sixth Aman hotel to check in. It felt great. Amangalla was built in the 17th century. It was formerly a military command in the Netherlands. It later became the first hotel in Sri Lanka. It was acquired by the Aman Group in 1995. The hotel is not big, but it is well-equipped with swimming pools, massage pools, yoga rooms, etc. , you can experience local shaving services and foot massages. Amangalla is the smallest Aman I have ever stayed in. It is in the middle of the ancient city of Galle and a 10-minute walk from the lighthouse. The surrounding area is very convenient for eating, drinking and entertainment. There is the Tuna and the Crab restaurant, which is a brother restaurant of the one-Michelin-star restaurant in Colombo. If you have enough money, you can try it. Be sure to choose his tea plantation tour, which will also take you to see the sea turtle hatching base and stilt fishing. It was very interesting. Although I fell off and stepped on a rock while fishing on stilts and was injured, I gained interesting photos and a rare life experience. The ancient city of Galle is also worth visiting. Amangalla can arrange cars and tour guides. The hotel is right in the center of the ancient city. The location is good and it is very convenient to go everywhere. Although I fell into the sea while fishing on stilts and cut my feet. All in all, it was still a very interesting experience. The two Amans in Sri Lanka are different from the ones we stayed in before. They are far away from Colombo and do not provide free airport pick-up services. The airport pick-up fee for the five of us was about US$400 in a large amanganla. It should be noted that if two Aman activities are booked for consecutive days, they generally need to be booked from the official website, not Ctrip agents.

Hotel is contemporary design just outside the fort area 15m walk great pool overlooking the ocean if it was not so rocky they would have their own beach rooms are very large some with a plunge pool excellent breakfast great choices veg if you prefer the staff are polite and will do anything to help if you like the old colonial style stay in the fort wall's
