"Our stay at Maalu Maalu was excellent. The rooms are well designed for families and the bathroom in particular is huge. The pool area is great with lots of loungers available. The beach is incredible with calm shallow water which is perfect for young children. The breakfast was vast and catered for everyone including an omelette bar which my husband loved."
"Fantastic Modern Hotel with Unbeatable Value!
The Room: Big, clean, and modern. If you book the Deluxe Ocean View, you can walk straight from your room to the beach.
Dining & Service: Friendly staff and delicious food with a great variety of Continental and Sri Lankan dishes.
Amenities: Lots to do on-site! There is a great spa (highly recommend the head massage), games room, badminton court, beach volleyball, and bike rentals.
The Beach & Activities: The water was perfectly warm in July. The immediate beach has a lot of coral, but just to the left of the property is a gorgeous, sandy beach perfect for swimming. There are also plenty of water sports nearby (jet ski, banana boats, snorkeling, diving).
The Verdict: I definitely recommend Amaya over the neighboring hotels. Great stay!"
"The staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating. My dad has Dementia and the staff made sure both he and my mum were well looked after and attended to. The beach and pool were both clean and not crowded. The food was good - particularly the local Sri Lankan dishes. And the drinks were good."
"Sudu Araliya is located on the banks of the Parakrama Samudraya. It’s extensive gardens offer a peaceful place for relaxation. There is a very nice and sturdy tree house with a couple of benches and tables. A lovely place for children to play and adults to relax. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and attentive and our requests were taken care of promptly. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet with many typical Sri Lankan foods. We only spent one night there but planning to return for a 2-3 night stay. Would definitely recommend staying there."
"Incredible helpful and friendly staff and beautiful ground. My cottage with the outdoor shower was charming. Spa facilities were not available during hours that i wanted to use them, ieri early morning and evening before and after excursion, that was sad. No pool towels also a minus. Dinner menu was expensive but nothing was very good. Breakfast however was delicious! Sri lankan menù was bevande expectation. I enjoyed my stay very much."
