Pegasus Reef - A Beach Resort in Colombo Reviews

This hotel is in Wattala which is only 7km from the Fort train station but feels ages away. Service - excellent. As in all areas of Sri Lanka the staff are very friendly and helpful. All say hello and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs. There seems to be an army of cleaners and wait staff and again, all are friendly with very good English. The doorman was my favourite with a massive smile and great personality! There were some issues with the half-board deal I was on regarding when and where you can have the half board - which is only breakfast and dinner although on Trip it reads like you have a choice of when you can have your two meals a day. So just clarify when you arrive to be sure. Facilities - big open ground, big swimming pool which you could do laps in if you wanted but also with decent steps on the side so younger children can play. There is also a small children's pool too which is adjacent to the big pool and next to the sun bathing area which has around 10 sun chairs in pairs with an umbrella and small table around the grass area, with more chairs and beanbags set up on the higher area. I have seen big groups playing team games, cricket, football, some weird waterpolo/volleyball/handball game in the pool and even a few keen cricket players today. Restaurant - the floor level open air restaurant is well staffed, nicely proportioned and the buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner is extensive (if a little repetitive after three days). On some occasions there was live music which was nice and not overpowering, playing mainly English music. Bar - The Fishery is the outdoor restaurant for al e carte food service and some drinks. You can choose to sit under the roof bar area or under trees next to it, on big picnic style seating. Gym - this is located next to the pool/restaurant and although it is a bit tired, it has everything you need. The running machines are a bit clunky but at least they work, the weight machines are a little stiff to move but again they are functional. There are free weights and area to work out - even a small space for yoga or stretching if thats your thing. There is also air conditioning - and in 30+ heat, very much needed! Downside - its a bit hard to get to and you have to take a taxi or tuk tuk (don't pay anything over 5,000 for this!). The beach which you can see and hear, is very close but not suitable for swimming - especially for young children. Also the beach isn't particularly clean - outside the hotel the beach is raked for appearances, but walk 50m to your left or right, and its not too pretty! Not really a downside but be aware that if you are here in weekend, this place seems to host a lot of parties, weddings and events - which is great energy with lots of noise and atmosphere. It is a lot quieter in the week days. And the pool becomes full in the afternoons!!!

Great hotel for holiday

من أقذر الاوتيلات التي زرتها في حياتي من الرسيبشن والمقايله السيئه تصل لمرحله تخلف الي تناول الحقائب وتدميرها الي سوء موقع الاوتيل والرائحه القذره في كل مكان الي تجهيزات الغرفه السيئه والمصيبه وجود بق فراش في الفرش تم تصويره لم نستطيع النوم طوال الليل وعندما اتي الصباح خرجنا من الاوتيل مبكرا سوء البوفيه والشح الفظيع في الطعام الرجاء الحفاظ علي صحتكم وصحه أبنائكم من هذا المكان One of the dirtiest hotels I have ever visited in my life From the reception and the bad interview that reaches the stage of backwardness To the eating and destruction of bags To the bad location of the hotel and the dirty smell everywhere To the bad room equipment And the disaster is the presence of bed bugs in the mattresses that were photographed We couldn't sleep all night and when the morning came we left the hotel early The bad buffet and the terrible scarcity of food Please protect your health and the health of your children from this place

The hotel is very close to the beach and you can see the Colombo port. The waiters are friendly, the rooms are well air-conditioned, and there are two swimming pools. Children can play! The breakfast selection is diverse, with a rich variety of local dishes and bread and fruits!

The facilities are old and the sheets are not clean

The Towle was quite old. It didn't even have toothpaste.

It's a rural corner, so be prepared when you go. If you go in, you won't come out It explodes in the Wi-Fi hallway lie in bed and die

very comfortable environment

Dit is niet mijn eerste keer in Pegasus. Ik gebruik dit hotel omdat het dichtbij is om familie te bezoeken. De locatie is niet fantastisch. Het strand is niet mooi, je kunt er alleen zwemmen. Er is niet veel te doen in de omgeving, geen winkels en ideaal voor een of twee nachten. Het ontbijt is altijd een buffet en meestal ook het diner. Het eten is erg goed. Ruime keuze. Ze hebben een nieuwe Indiase chef-kok, die een ruime keuze biedt. Ze hebben een mooie tuin en een zwembad met een visrestaurant. Ze zijn bezig met de renovatie van hun restaurant en een aantal kamers. Ook de andere kamers moeten gerenoveerd worden. Er is ook een sportschool.

Very nice hotel with unbelievable staff. Staff make the hotel and everyone was so helpful. Great start and easy check in. Very nice rooms for a family. Great pool and special mention to Basel who played games with my 2 boys (9&13) he chatted away and made them feel at ease. We enjoyed playing (I would call it bulls) . He is a credit to the hotel. Great breakfast and the fishery restaurant is Amazing. The cooking of the food is topped off with great service and the host nalin makes it. I’ve never been to Sri Lanka before but would def recommend coming here.

Wonderful but older beach resort near north of Colombo. Simple but clean rooms. Adequate buffet for breakfast & lunch. The Fishery is best restaurant. Lots of tour groups stay here. Very pleasant & helpful staff, especially Madhu @ reception area. This resort was first for Colombo built in 1970.
