My first visit to Sri Lanka and now hopefully not my last. Club Hotel Dolphin is quite a large hotel with one very large pool and a smaller 'Quieter' pool. The hotel has 4 restaurants, I believe. The main one being a kind of large buffet affair with many varied and tasty dishes. They also do several theme nights featuring cuisine from various countries. I went 'All Inclusive' which I personally recommend unless you plan to go on tours each day as the hotel is a little way from most attractions. The two I went on were about a two-hour drive from the hotel, which requires an early start. However, the hotel provides a great packed breakfast if you let them know you are leaving early to go on a tour. 'Douglas' The TUI (Travel Agent) REP was brilliant and so helpful. Any question or complaint, and it was sorted straight away (Not that there were any real complaints to speak of) I.e. We wanted two room keys and not just the one issued us. He got us a second key almost immediately. We also needed a room with two separate beds as I was holidaying with a friend, but we were booked into a room with one large bed. Straight away, Douglas sorted the problem out, and I think we actually got a better room as we were now right by the beach with sea views. I can honestly say that this was the best holiday ever (despite the second week being mostly raining each day). However, I would avoid October, as I found out too late that October is Sri Lanka's wettest month 🙄 In closing, I would like to give special thanks to the following people at Club Dolphin Hotel who made my stay at the hotel so much more special: 'Randi Rathnayake' (Restaurant waitress) 'Always eager to help with a beautiful smile and bubbly personality' Thank you, Randi. 'Heshan' (Restaurant Waiter) 'A permanent smile and great sense of humour and again with an eagerness to help' I will not only miss Sri Lanka but also the above-mentioned.
