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

I recently got married at The Fortress was stayed there for a little over 2 weeks. My now husband and I had about 46 guests attending our wedding most of which stayed at the hotel.

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

After our wonderful stay in another boutique resort in the area, we then transferred to our last two nights stay in The Fortress. Our room was very modern, chic and can be described as understated luxury. We spent majority of the day enjoying the beautiful sun in our sunbeds, watching the gorgeous waves lapping in and out of the shore.... more

The rooms are so modern and have all necessary ammenities I Pod, DVD Player,... more

We decided to drop into the Fortress on our way to Yala. The rooms are of a good standard, but go for a suite. Great pool on the beach. Staff are very friendly and polite. I did find it starnge to find recetion was in the hotel shop. Great coffee, but expensive compared to other locations and hotels. A little... more

This is a great hotel with superb rooms, food & service. The teenagers particularly liked the hi tech aspects of the cavernous first floor rooms which all had balconies, free standing baths & a choice of showers. The Fortress was built to a very high spec about 3 years ago. All rooms face Koggala beach & it stands virtually alone... more

This hotel really is fantastic. my wife and I stayed for 5 nights at this hotel on our Honeymoon and had an amazing time. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade which really was an unexpected bonus. All the staff were really helpful and eager to please. The Hotel itself is very stylish and well appointed. It really feels... more
