Oceanfront Galle by ICC

The positives Nice view of the sea, especially the upper floors Negatives Location - It's out of the city, no restaurants nearby. The beach can only be viewed, you can't wade into the water. It's total rock with high tides. The rooms are well laid out but they don't have dishwasher. So you will have to do your own dishes if you use the kitchen. Housekeeping is done only once in 5 days. If for some reason you need your room to be cleaned, they would just flatly say no !! Not exactly how you want your holiday stay to be. You can find much better places in Galle and adjoining beaches.

We had a two storey, three bedroom apartment. In terms of size and general style it was great with a balcony off the lounge and another off the master bedroom. Ocean view is great as the name suggests. There is a restaurant on site that is eat in or will deliver to your apartment. Also ample secure parking. A great reception area and gym etc. nice garden. The pool is large but tends to be a little cold as it is in the shade. For unknown reasons our apartment was somewhat plagued with flies which was annoying. There is chinaware and cutlery and glasses but they did not match which I find odd. It is a 15 minute ride into central Galle and the fort.

We stayed at the 4 bed room penthouse. Absolutely stunning views. Sea on both sides. The apartment was furnished and also had all the amenities needed for a family of 10 to have all meals. The apartment is extremely spacious giving kids enough space to run around. The beach in front of the property is safe to go for a dip. There’s decent space for kids to enjoy the beach as well. The pool is cold as it always protected by the building’s shadow. But the kids enjoyed it regardless. Had a great memorable stay here. There’s a restaurant on the property. However we did not eat here. Just 10 mins by car to Galle fort.

We stayed in a two story, 3 bed, 3 bath apartment and it was absolutely lovely. The place has a toaster, stove, fridge and washing machine, 3 balconies, tall ceilings and is secure. I'd highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay in Galle
