Staff made you very welcome and could not do enough for you. Would denfinately go back. Trips to Candi and River trips very informative and we organised and we made lots of new friends. A very relaxing fantastic holiday. more

I read quite a few reviews of this hotel before I travelled and arrived with an open mind. Lets get one or two things straight to start with- this is Sri Lanka, so you will get Sri Lankan food. This is not a 5* hotel, so, the accommodation is not 5*. The food though is equally as good as some... more

We stayed at Goldi Sands from 13th April to 26th April this year and had a wonerful time. Upon arriving i thought the hotel looked a bit tired. But soon came to the conclusion it must have been me that was tired. The food choices were varied and delicious with different themed menus every day. The pool is brand new... more

For the all inclusive (£600 each) fortnight it was great. Nice pool, friendly helpful staff, internet access, etc. I think visitors who sign up to visit should be prepared to be flexible and accept local values are different. You only need to walk outside the hotel and look at some of the nearby homes and shops to realise the contrast.... more

Staff were always very friendly. Rooms variable - some with fridge, others not; some with dodgy old system that they seem to think passes as 'air conditioning' but... more

I stayed at the Goldi Sands from 12 April until the 28th with my wife and extended family. I must say that we were really weell taken care of. We had elderly people in our party and also various dietary needs including a vegan, and the hotel really went out of their way to make sure everyone was catered for... more

We were meeted at the airport by the guide and he broughs us to this hotel, so we didn't know where we were going. The hotel is 2-3* at it's best. Location - not far from the airport (15-20 min) right on the large beach. Beach - large strip of the beach, dark yellow brown sand. The sea has a... more
