Getting to the property is inconvenient because there is no road to it, it’s just a sand path. The structure of this hotel is beautiful, with beautiful views. The problem is the way the hotel is managed, is it a big rip-off and we will be asking for a refund.

This hotel is one of the best hotels we have stayed in Sri Lanka. The staff are extremely friendly and the food excellent and well presented. The kitchen staff were ready to serve you with customized dishes and drinks. Gamini the chef personally greeted us and made sure we were served well. Room service was to time and the lady at the Spa was knowledgeable and gave us the best foot massage so far in our travels. I would recommend this hotel without hesitation to anyone who wants a super experience in beautiful Tangalle Sri Lanka. Happy and pleasant travels!!

We stayed at Sooriya Resort & Spa for 14 nights. The staff were very friendly and attentive, helping us book tuk tuks as well as recommending day trips out. The lifeguard ensured that we always had fresh towels, and was very knowledgeable of the wildlife in the area which we were particularly interested in. The resort and rooms are cleaned to a high standard, with faultless facilities. Although the resort is not in the heart of Tangalle, this didn’t prevent us from trips to National parks, temples and other cities. The beach and pool were great on days we stayed at the hotel to relax, the food was always made fresh and tasty. Overall I would definitely recommend Sooriya Resort & Spa as a place to stay on your visit to Sri Lanka!

Location is completely a subjective thing, but for us it was too far out from town. The nearby beaches are nice and secluded but there's nothing there, places to eat, drink etc. If you're after seculsion, peace and quiet then this is the place. There seemed to be a lot of animals around which was cool, I think it is a conservative area. Saw two different snakes by the pool, lizzards etc. The reception staff were ok, they were young and that shines through.

We loved our stay at Sooriya. We had a ground floor room with pool access and it suited us perfectly! It was quiet and at times we had the pool to ourselves. We would definitely stay again

Excellent hotel
The hotel is located in an off area, but once there, the property was excellent. At first we found the access to the main beach a bit challenging, but after we had navigated over some rocky patches of seafront on front of the hotel, we realized that there was a fork in the access road to the hotel that also led there, and this was just a simple 5 minute walk. Very nice beach where we were almost alone bar local fishermen and the occasional other hotel guest. The food was great as was the pool area. Only downside was the fitness room, which was very basic (only a single treadmill, for example - Of course already in use when I went there), and VERY hot. Seemed the air condition was by far undersized. But overall, great. Also quite cheap, so excellent value for money. We only stayed one night, but I would have been happy to extend if our travel schedule had allowed.

Awesome views from room, private beach, nice spa
My wife and I had an ocean-view room and the views were just awesome! Huge windows made us feel like we were right by the ocean. We got up early and walked out to the beach to watch the sunrise. Later we strolled along the secluded rocky beach, saw lots of crabs and reefs, and collected some shells. We also got a couple of spa treatments -the masseuses were great. The swimming pool seemed nice too, but the sun seemed quite intense, so we didn't really feel like stepping inside the pool, but saw quite a few other guests relaxing and sunbathing by the pool. The breakfast was good, but it would be nicer if they had a few more vegetarian options. The wifi could have been better. While the wifi coverage itself was ok, after connecting our devices to it, a page would be displayed requiring us to confirm the connection before we could get online - the issue was this page would take forever to load! Considering the cell reception is spotty in the hotel area, it would have been good if connecting to the wifi was a little more seamless. The last 5-6 km of the road leading to the hotel (Rekawa road) was bumpy, and as the hotel nears, it turned in to a dirt road (Oruwella road). We kept wondering if there was a 5-star hotel at the end of the road, and to our relief, there indeed was one (and a very good one at that!). But it would be much nicer if those last 5-6 km are better paved. All in all though, one of the best hotels during my week long trip to Sri Lanka.

Nearly Terrible
I can’t believe the number of problems we had with this hotel. We’ve travelled to 77 countries and this stay was one of the top disappointing hotel experiences we’ve had given the expectations of a five star hotel. If rated as a three star it would be been a disappointment but not intolerable such as it was.

Kahden yön yöpyminen
Jos kaipaat rauhaa, valitse tämä hotelli! Saimme ihanan rauhallisen kahden yön yöpymisen tässä hotellissa! Sijainti sivussa kaikesta hälinästä. Aamupala oli maukas ja riittävä. Huone oli todella upea, panoraama näkymä merelle! Kilpikonnia voit nähdä merellä. Hyvä uima-allas ja hyvä palvelu.

Un resort vraiment très agréable
Hôtel parfait pour un séjour paisible à l’écart des endroits très fréquentés comme Galle. Cet hôtel est très spatieux, le personnel a l’écoute et sympathique. Proche de l’un des hot spots pour l’observation des tortues marines. Un hôtel à recommander pour les familles ou pour passer de longues journées à marcher sur les plages sauvages.

Mon meilleur hôtel au Sri-Lanka
Merveilleux hôtel, les chambres sont propres et confortables. Le Balcon vraiment exceptionnel vue sur la mer et tres grand avec chaises longues et table au dessus de la piscine, vraiment merveilleux d'y paser la soiree avec la brise de la mer! Nous avons loue 5 nuits et sommes restés 3 nuits de plus! La piscine est superbe le dejeunet varié et délicieux! Le seul hic c'est isolé mais un ptit resto a côté loue des motos pour pas cher! La.mer est dangereuse et no .baignable car rocheux mais on peut y voir des tortues et a 500 metres il y a une plages baignable!

Fredfull oase
Fantastisk fredfullt sted med kjempe hyggelig personale. I nærområdet finnes mindre strender der du kan se skilpadder og annet dyreliv. Vi ble oppgradert og fikk et kjempe flott rom med nydelig utsikt. Vi trivdes kjempe godt på stedet. Vi synes det var litt dumt at det ikke lå litt mer restauranter/små butikker i nærområdet, men for vårt 3 dagers opphold gikk dette greit. Naturen og stillheten rundt gjorde opp for dette.

Nice stay
Nice resort perfect to relax and enjoy. The pool area was good and short way to the beach, with high waves in this period it was not possible to take a bath in the sea. The food was good at Sooriya. It is a long way to walk if you want other places to eat so the option is to get the reception to order a car. The vehicles ordered from the reception is good cars with nice drivers, we had a van for two days. Unstable wifi connection. Nice to stay here for families and couples.

Not a best choice
The towel rack was broken, the shower screen was not waterproof, and there was an extra bed in the room on top of the king bed, which I had not asked for since I was travelling alone. The breakfast was overpriced at USD$12 but was not worth it.
