But we were really disappointed because of the location changes done by the management. Those changes were not only once, twice but several times which make us really uncomfortable.... More

Club Dolphin is located in between the city of Colombo and the Main airport. The spacious surrounding and garden, clean and wide beach, unique main swimming pool and another small pool, good entertainment programs and lovely spicy food were more than enough to run short of time for the day. This is an ideal place to be away from the... More

The hotel isn't too far a journey from the airport which is a blessed relief after two long flights with two children. We were welcomed with a smile, a cool drink and the news that our room would not be available for another three hours. However, my sudden and uncontrollable nervous breakdown elicited a room for us where I was... More
