We visited Sri Lanka a few months back and ended up at Amangalla for the last three nights of the tour! We wanted to end the trip on a High note and our travel consultant at the time suggested this and boy were we pleased! The Ambiance , the service , the food and the history of the hotel itself was just breathtaking! Being a History buff, my husband loved everything about the place! We stayed at one of the suites and it was just magnificent. The hotel staff suggested so many activities during our days at Amangalla, however since we had already booked most of our tours for our stay with our Local Travel agent (Sri Lanka In Syle), we were unable to try those offered by the hotel! But nevertheless appreciated the efforts in giving us suggestions. My personal favorite was the whole ambiance at night at Amangalla! And ofcause the Spa! Just amazing! We were skeptical travelling given what happened last April in Sri Lanka, We were even going to cancel our trip but decided to push through in the end! And we are so glad that we went ahead with our plan! Once we were in Sri Lanka, the hospitality we got really put us at ease! It has really taken awhile for me to put this review up but it is well deserved!…
This Aman property had a tremendous amount of historical charm. The service was very good . the room which was upgraded was a bit small and sparse, but had incredible wood floors and a beautiful balcony overlooking the pool area. The staff was attentive and always willing to assist anyway they could and the GM was very professional. The breakfasts and lunch were very nice on the open lobby level. We did opt for thei Sri Lankan special dinner which had a dozen or more specialities of which most I could not eat, which was disappointing. Ther was no gym nor air conditioning in the common areas and lobby restaurant which was uncomfortable even in February. There was no TV , but the hotel did have WiFi. WE did want to use the spa facilities but they were booked so did not have the opportunity to see/ review. The butler for our room was exceptional and took us on a walking tour or the historic fort area for 1 1/2 hours. We liked this hotel more than the Amanwella but again found it wanting with regards to other Five Star Deluxe Hotels like the Four Seasons hotels which we have stayed at on all 5 contingents.…

We have been visiting Sri Lanka for years and it has been our dream to stay at Amangalla. We finally made it and it was everything we had ever hoped for and more. The service is unlike anywhere else that we have experienced in the world - gentle, intimate and guest centred. They will do everything in their power to improve guest happiness. Our butler Nilan along with Harsha in F&B were wonderful - polite, professional and helpful in every way. Food & Drink staff were always careful & attentive and grounds & pool staff were always smiling & happy to help. The environment & overall design is wonderful. Every detail is considered and sympathetic to the building's history. We loved the sophisticated dark wood, the sri lankan furniture, the luscious plants & flowers in the grounds. The pool area is the ultimate peaceful escape, with private cabana loungers, kingfishers in the trees and nothing but the sounds of palm trees in the breeze and birds - the Aman video advert is exactly how it is. The private hydrotherapy spa (included in your stay) was also amazing! We loved having a sauna, steam and jacuzzi before having massages in the spa. The massages were great and the therapists were very professional. We have stayed at quite a few luxury hotels, but this was one of the best experiences we have had yet. You just float here! Based on this exceptional experience, we are really excited to hopefully visit more Aman properties. Thank you to the team at Amangalla - you do an amazing job and we are very happy customers!…
Only stopped in for drinks on the terrace. Drinks, service and attentiveness of staff all top notch. Deserves it's reputation for quality. Decor also of highest quality, randomly had opportunity to listen to guest playing the grand piano, entertaining but no Elton John.
