Had two weeks at the Dolphin at the beginning of January and it was wonderful. The villa was well appointed and cleaned every day with fresh towels and flowers on the bed. Bottled water is supplied (2) every day as well as tea, coffee and coffee-mate. There was always something for everyone on the menu in the dining room though... More

Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with cheery friendly people we went on... More

My husband, I and 2 year old child were welcome with a juice and asked to relax at the lobby while the check in formalities was being processed. We stayed at the villa and loved the room. It had a cosy feel. We throughly enjoyed the pool and the atmosphere, with music and completely chilled out. It is a public... More

We travelled to Sri Lanka outwith a tour operator and selected Club Hotel Dolphin, primarily, due to it being relatively close to Colombo and the airport. Check In : I have never in my life spent so long checking into an hotel. We were the only people arriving at the time we got to the hotel, and had booked online... More

The hotel is excellently located for the airport. The staff were friendly & helpful. We were travelling as a family of three & upgraded to a suite which was clean, spacious & well equipped. We looked at the beachside bungalows which were very nice if there are just two of you. The main pool is spectacular due to its size.... More
