If you are looking for perfection in all ways then this is the hotel of choice. The staff are friendly, the location stunning, and the food excellent. Obviously a very well managed hotel. Don't go here if you are looking for the party scene. Do take a trip to Unawatuna and Marissa Beaches. more

The Fortress really is something else; an extremely beautiful building which is kept immaculate both inside and out. Each and every member of staff are so friendly and welcoming, we made many friends there; Saman in particular (please say hi from Lynn and Dave) and Zugath, and Sam from the bar too!! The rooms are of a very high standard... more

This hotel is excellent and is five star, from the room to the food and service. This hotel is outstanding. The travel from the airport is around four hours which makes it difficult after a long flight however when you arrive it makes up for the inconvienent trek. We initially stayed in a Fortress room but later in the stay... more

I have spent an hour detailing every aspect of my stay, my internet connection crashed, and I lost the lot! So, I will be brief, should you find yourself lucky enough to be taken to this hotel, or in a position where you may be able to visit, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES! Make this trip as I assure you, the... more

We arrived at the Fortress and wondered what we had done, until the huge doors opened and then paradise, We stayed for 14 nights which I think is unusual, after 2 days the staff called us by our first names, we even went to the staff annual party and had a wonderful time. We made the mistake of going B/B... more

From the outside, this Hotel does not look that impressive, however when you enter through the big double gates there is a very beautiful hotel inside. The view from inside with the infinity pool followed by spectacular views of the Indian Ocean is paradise. The room was first class, we were in a standard room which was a bit dark... more

Having returned on the 'bleary eyed' 1am flight to Singapore this morning, I thought I would write a quick review of The Fortress. From the moment we walked into The Fortress grounds we had a wonderful time, complimented by great staff and excellent food and wine. By the second day we were known to some of the staff by name... more

The hotel was sheer luxury and probably the most exclusive in the area. Staff were wonderful and food great . The Spa and pool staff were especially very attentive Is well worth venturing out and about you must visit Galle and Marissa. I would strongly recommend using the Tuk tuk guiding services of a young man we met on the... more

Very nice Hotel only 3 years old. The rooms are 5*plus and so is the service. It takes up to 4 hours by road from Columbo airport depending on the time of travel. We went on half board...the breakfast was ok for a small hotel (only 49 rooms) with ample choice. The evening meal was ok with a few exceptions.... more
