The Fortress Resort & Spa

房間全海景視野，泳池挺好，餐食不錯。

INCREDIBLE hotel! Pure Luxury! The staff were all friendly and could not do enough for you. The food is something else… Delicious! My room was overly spacious, clean, comfortable bed, with a balcony. The management, including the Food & Beverage Manager and the General Manager of the hotel, were friendly and came and spoke to guests, making you feel comfortable, special & safe…. you don’t get this everywhere! I used the gym, spa & hairdresser too. The staff went above and beyond and always had a smile on their face. The centre of Galle is a 10 minute taxi ride away. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and I’ll definitely visit this hotel again next year. A BIG Thank You to all at Fortress Resort & Spa.

We spent 10 days here rounding off our tour of Sri Lanka. This beachside hotel featured an extensive pool area (50 m pool for serious swimmers) and smaller pools for children. The hotel's grounds are quite large, allowing guests to find private spots if desired. The hotel grounds give access to a sandy beach but sea swimming is not the main theme due to surf and currents. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped with comfortable beds and pillows. We chose the bed and breakfast option but noted there are not many dining options nearby without taking a taxi. A Tuk Tuk ride to Galle, approximately 15 km away, costs about £8 each way, with drivers willing to wait a couple of hours for you in the price. Breakfast at the hotel offers a wide variety, including pastries, fresh fruit, smoothies, cooked breakfast options, and continental bread basket selections. Many might find a midday meal unnecessary after a substantial breakfast. The main menu is extensive, featuring Sri Lankan curries, prawn and fish options, as well as chicken, lamb, and vegetarian dishes. There are also burger, chicken and fish and chips options for those who prefer less spicy food. Most main courses are priced around $15 USD, with starters ranging from $5 to $15 USD. We found a main course sufficient though. however a couple of glasses of wine and beer can double the price of a meal. The staff were consistently excellent throughout the hotel. While service in the restaurant occasionally suffered when busy, this appeared to be a management or training issue rather than a reflection on the staff, who were always responsive and helpful. Overall, the country is very welcoming, with friendly locals who value tourism. The accommodation, food quality, and service were all commendable. .
