Just Amazing, it was the perfect environment to unwind and relax after a busy couple of weeks. I ended my vacation to Sri Lanka at the Fortress and I loved it. The staff service was exceptional, food was so delicious, I wish I had more room to enjoy more of it!! I can’t wait to come back with my family and friends. Thank you for your hospitality.

This may be the first time I've given a 10/10 review. I can't fault this property - the room, the staff, the food plus so much more were all fantastic. Even the beach also gets a 10/10 for being a long and quiet stretch without 'on the beach restaurants'. Totally peaceful. The Fortress was recommended to me by a friend and I look forward to passing it on and to coming back myself.

Outstanding....deserves high rating!
Really superb property. Even though it has a heritage look, it's relatively newly built, so very comfortable, even if lacking in authenticity. Stunning location right by sea, but nothing outside to do, within walking distance. Bed so comfortable, fabulous view and nice restaurant area, with good breakfast. It wasn't clear to me until I was checking. out if there was a 'natural' pool in the coral area or was it just the swimming pool they said to use, as not allowed to swim in sea due to waves (fair advice). If there is a natural pool safe for swimming they should let guests know as I would have liked to swim in the sea and not just the pool. Perfectly clean and staff super responsive. Bath very nice but shower had very low water pressure. Highly recommend if you want somewhere comfortable and quiet. Not a lively resort with activities, but a true chill out spot by nature. Loved listening to waves from balcony in evening. Would love to return some day!

Large style beach resort. Very good dining and drink options across the 3 restaurants. Initially stayed in a room with a plunge pool which was too humid for our liking but had a half day's stay in another room upstairs without a pool and it was very nice with great views of the facility, pool and ocean.

We love The Fortress
Our third stay at the Fortress, it never disappoints. Beautiful hotel and grounds, food is amazing with full menu room service. Can sit on a sun lounge at high tide and watch turtles feeding in the ocean in front of you or release baby turtles from the hatchery on site. What sets it apart is the service, our son is 5 and was so well cared for by the staff.
