Cape Weligama

Absolutely wonderful experience. We treated ourselves as it was a significant birthday and we were not disappointed. Our only issue was that the choice of food was so expensive it could have done with a range. Similarly , for the prices paid it seemed that some of the activities could have been provided as complimentary for example some water sports or spa treatments. We would have liked to visit local restaurants but there are not really any nearby and two of our party arrived ill so we needed to eat in the resort. Apart from that it was fabulous and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. The rooms we had were one above the other. Ours was easily accessed but our companions (adult offspring) was almost inaccessible. Would have been better to have rooms next to each other. Instead we had a very noisy family with many children next door. They gave us the most wonderful evening to remember for my birthday which was absolutely magical!

From the moment you step into cape welligama to the moment you leave, you are being looked after by the staff with such immense care and attention to detail. The responsiveness and personalisation is excellent, and a level of service I have not encountered in any hotel before. The resort is well set up for young families, and our room had easy access to what felt like a very private swimming pool. The swimming pools are set to have great views, and we had monkeys and peacocks come to say hello. The food was delicious and dinner menu changed every night. The chef came to ask for feedback regularly and even made a custom dish on request. The rooms feel large and open, yet are warm and cosy, with great modern facilities. The property benefits from being fairly new, versus other more grand yet tired hotels we stayed in our trip in Srilanka. Overall a beautifully maintained, scenic hotel with great facilities for children and an amazing service.
