I have spent an hour detailing every aspect of my stay, my internet connection crashed, and I lost the lot! So, I will be brief, should you find yourself lucky enough to be taken to this hotel, or in a position where you may be able to visit, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES! Make this trip as I assure you, the... more

We arrived at the Fortress and wondered what we had done, until the huge doors opened and then paradise, We stayed for 14 nights which I think is unusual, after 2 days the staff called us by our first names, we even went to the staff annual party and had a wonderful time. We made the mistake of going B/B... more

From the outside, this Hotel does not look that impressive, however when you enter through the big double gates there is a very beautiful hotel inside. The view from inside with the infinity pool followed by spectacular views of the Indian Ocean is paradise. The room was first class, we were in a standard room which was a bit dark... more

Having returned on the 'bleary eyed' 1am flight to Singapore this morning, I thought I would write a quick review of The Fortress. From the moment we walked into The Fortress grounds we had a wonderful time, complimented by great staff and excellent food and wine. By the second day we were known to some of the staff by name... more

The hotel was sheer luxury and probably the most exclusive in the area. Staff were wonderful and food great . The Spa and pool staff were especially very attentive Is well worth venturing out and about you must visit Galle and Marissa. I would strongly recommend using the Tuk tuk guiding services of a young man we met on the... more

Very nice Hotel only 3 years old. The rooms are 5*plus and so is the service. It takes up to 4 hours by road from Columbo airport depending on the time of travel. We went on half board...the breakfast was ok for a small hotel (only 49 rooms) with ample choice. The evening meal was ok with a few exceptions.... more

Wow factor with the rooms, the views and the area. Yet the staff and a few other items let this hotel down. We arrived and felt this was the best hotel in Sri Lanka if not the best we have ever stayed in. Certainly the bedrooms were the best. nothing I have stayed in before comes close. But when showing... more

Amazing hotel, amazing room, amazing staff, amazing food, amazing pool, amazing spa. The hotel was all we could ask for and more. Literally, we cannot put into words how good this hotel is. Only things to criticise is that it is a bit out of the way, the journey to and from the hotel from the airport is awful. Also,... more

We stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks for my daughter's wedding and I can honestly say we had a truly wonderful experience. The hotel setting and facilities were superb. We stayed in an Ocean Room overlooking the pool. The hotel staff were excellent, friendly and welcoming. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. There was no sign of what... more
