It was good. View of the ocean infront of your eye was beautiful.
Breakfast not fresh, dirty rooms, some days breakfast was not available. And prices are so expensive
I stayed at Inside Resort Ahangama for one night and was pleasantly surprised. Despite some signs of the building being a bit tired, everything else was excellent. The location is fantastic, service top-notch, and the rooms are spacious with lovely balconies and a great ocean view. For the price, it’s definitely worth it, and I’d stay again.
Location - Nice location. Pretty close to all the famous restaurants like Kai, Thileni. Beach right in front of the property gives a private beach vibe. Rooms - Clean, comfortable & spacious rooms. Sea view room has got a balcony and a beautiful view of the ocean and the beach. Pool - Nice big clean pool with some games available. Food - Restaurant besides the pool serves good food. Breakfast was a big spread and really good. Wifi - Free wifi provided was a bit slow. But they had the option of buying high speed internet. Staff - Staff was good. Always smiling, warm & friendly. They helped us with our bags. Check in & checkout experience was pretty smooth. Parking space - Parking space was available for a big car. We had a toyota hiace.
Otel gayet temiz şık ve iyi idi. Sadece odalar arasındaki yalıtım kötü ve yan odadan ses geliyor. 3 gün kaldım güvenlik temizlik her şey çok iyi sadece 2 defa seslerden dolayı uyandım birinde işçiler çalışma yapıyordu ve sesten uyuyamadım resepsiyona bilgi verdim durumu düzelttiler. Bir daha gelsem tekrar tercih ederim
We had a great 6 days at this lovely hotel. Location perfect and easy to take a walk or short tuk tuk ride to town. Lovely clean pool and situated right on the beach. Had an excellent albeit expensive massage - can recommend. Nice touch with short teaser massage on arrival. Very friendly staff apart from one older pool attendant who was not ! Can recommend next door beach cafe Pop Eye - nice food and staff! Only downside was one of our deluxe rooms was certainly not deluxe - and had no view at all - we managed to swap this but not for first night and no compensation given at all for this which was really bad considering the price of the room and length of our stay! They could have at least given some free drinks or massage as compensation. Also breakfast buffet lacked variation but was fine. If the drinks and food prices were more reasonable then more people would use the hotel in the evenings. But very expensive so we went elsewhere . Despite high cost can recommend this hotel .
Mukava hotelli ihanalla rannalla. Hyvä sijainti. Ihana uima-allas ja allasalue.
This a nice property with staff that tries very hard. Pros- we started with a really nice welcome drink and our room had an awesome view (very small deck) and a very comfy bed with nice pillows. The shower works well and has a lot of hot water. The pool is lovey. Great yoga room and yoga instructor. We went for a massage and that was delightful, the masseuse is wonderful. Pool is great and they have nice pool towels. They provide 2 litres of water a day (plastic) and the breakfast is really nice though repetitive. We had dinner 2x in the hotel and the food is fresh and tasty. Cons- first time since we have been in Sri Lanka (over 18 locations) that we receive and email that if you want anything more than Internet to communicate, you have to pay extra. Luckily we had data because the wifi was totally useless. Not something to cheap out on in a big resort. Also the yoga mats and the outdoor sun bed mats were horrible, torn, stained and dirty which was really unfortunate. We also had tears in our bedsheets. Also, in other resorts in Sri Lanka they provide drinking water in glass bottles they clean and reuse because this resort must be using a ton of plastic. For the price of a stay, they really need to put a bit more funds in to the property.
Great pool great beach great location
We were absolutely delighted with our first 4 nights at the Hotel so much so that we decided to return for 3 extra nights later in our trip. The staff are a credit to the hotel always happy and helpful they made us feel special. The food was very good quality and value . The pool area was cleaned many times during the day and the towels clean large and plentiful. We will definitely return on our next visit to Sri Lanka.
A lovely hotel, with super friendly staff, our children loved the pool, the food was fab from pizzas to Sri Lankan food. We enjoyed the massage service too. A great value hotel over looking ocean
Rey warm welcome, got a head and shoulders massage on arrival, got a complementary fruit dish to the room and during check out got coconut rock these I did not get in a 5 star hotel that I stayed the night before at yala, the crew were very friendly, courteous, willing to help, and very accommodating, very nice receptionist
Wonderful staff at a well kept hotel. Dinner and breakfast were both good; Sri Lankan and western options. Great pool and great beach location. Good value for money.
It was safe
Jeg booket 2 netter fordi jeg ønsket et bra hotell å bo på i julen. Hotellet er dyrt, så jeg ble skikkelig skuffet da jeg ankom og de ba meg betale ekstra 50USD «because its christmas» for tjenester jeg hverken trenger eller ønsker. I tillegg var det ekstra kostnader for frokost. At hotellet arrangerer underholdning og julemiddag, bør det være slik at de som benytter seg at det betaler for det. Oh det stod ikke noe om denne ekstra kostnaden på nettsiden og jeg fikk ikke avbrutt oppholdet. Dessuten lå rommet mitt tett på restauranten, så det var mye bråk fra restauranten til rommet. Og musikken de spilte i restauranten var så høy at jeg hørte den inn på rommet. Positivt: jeg benyttet meg av laundry og det var bra. Raskt og rent. Veldig bra. Hotellet bar preg at det er gammelt og slitt. Bra med vann i dusjen. Positivt. Så synes hotellet er for dyrt i forhold til hva du får.
Supert opphold, med fantastiske ansatte
Jeg hadde tidenes beste ferieopphold. Jeg elsker Insight Resort Hotell. Servicen , maten og de hyggelige ansatte her gjør oppholdet magisk. Dette er tredje gang jeg er på ferie på dette hotellet , og jeg blir like fornøyd hver gang. Jeg synes at hotellet skulle hatt 4-stjernes stempel fordi det fortjener det virkelig.
The staff works tirelessly to keep you happy and having a pleasant stay. I stated for a week this past summer, and everything went well. They have a nice pool and the beach is right outside. Thanks again!
I had such a great time at Insight Resort. Very clean, nice hotel. With very helpful and polite staff, I’ve never felt unattended. Beautiful private beach access and spacious pool. I chose the room with sea view and enjoyed so much. The food at the restaurant was amazing and super fresh. Value and quality are really attractive! Will definitely come back!
I would rate "Insight" at 5 stars. Heaps of reasons to do so, especially because of the professional and attentive staff. However, I can only give them 4.9 stars... the music selection does not match the hotel environment. It's a beachfront hotel with a lot of surfers, but they play old Roy Orbison and Elvis music. Also, they play random Italian music. It's not bad music, it just doesn't fit the property. My opinion is they should have something more Bali Lounge / Bali Chill style. It would make breakfast buffet time so much more enjoyable... listening to beach chill music instead of random 1950s US songs. Besides that, 5 stars!!!
Very friendly, comfortable rooms, felt a bit odd signing a disclosure form on powercuts but they operate by the book. Overall a good place to unwind
The hotel is super clean and safe and the staff are welcoming and friendly, however their manner is a bit off-putting as they only seem to know two words: "Room Number". Even after two weeks, the waiters at breakfast asked me my room number when they had seen me every day. The restaurant has no vibe whatsoever, long empty tables in a huge bright room. Your plates are cleared before you have finished your last mouthful of food, and you are brought the bill to sign without being asked if you want anything else. Waiters hover over you watching your every move as if you are not to be trusted - it can be quite disconcerting! The food however is great, and the Chef is amazing. He came out every morning to see if I liked the breakfast, and recommended certain dishes - he even made me a special pasta one evening as he knew I'd like it spicy. The information needs to be updated on the website/hotels.com site as, whilst this may be due to pandemic restrictions, if I had known certain things I would not have chosen this resort. As a coffee lover, they only have instant coffee, even at breakfast, it's disguised as filter coffee! No coffee bar. No snack bar/deli. There is only 1 (lovely) pool. No roof terrace. The Juice Bar is just a sign (it's a storage place for beach mattresses & towels). The picnic area is a bunch of wooden benches. No specific children's play area. No sun umbrellas at all. No beach loungers (pool area only). Gayan, one of the pool attendants was super though.
Неплохой отельчик, с территорией и своим пляжем. Номера немного уставшие, видно что ремонт был давно. Но в целом остались довольны
Sensational hotel. Fantastic location, sea view. Beautiful pool located in the shade of palm trees allowing you to relax. Good drinks. However, the greatest value of the hotel are its employees. Each one helps to spend time in the best way possible. From preparing beautiful, hearty breakfasts to suggesting places to go. Our car driver had to cancel a few hours before we got to the airport and the hotel arranged a replacement for us within minutes at a very reasonable price. I have traveled to many places in the world, but those few days at the Insight Hotel were one of the best experiences of my life.
Tres bel hotel, pres de la mer, avec une magnifique piscine, de grande chambres avec balcon. Le déjeuner est varié et delicieux. Le personnel est tres gentils, c'était l'anniversaire de mon conjoint et ils on mis des fleurs et petales de fleurs dans la chambre et sont venus nous porter un gâteau avec bougie sans que je le demande une belle attention apprécié ! On est en plein centre de la ville avec de bons restaurants tout pres! Vraiment exceptionnelle comme hotel et pour le prix! Seul hic! l'air conditionné qui n'est pas assez froid et pousse peu, mais la nuit c'était ok c'est en fin de pm que c'est plus difficile! Je recommande cet hotel c'est certain !
My friend and I stayed here for 2 nights as a treat to end our trip in Sri Lanka. It was a dream. The staff were great and the facilities were lovely. We paid extra to have a sea view which was amazing, but you spend most of your time by the pool or in the sea! We got tuk tuks to the local restaurants at night, and did an afternoon/evening trip to Galle. Breakfast buffet was great too. Lovely hotel, would definitely recommend!
Location was great. Service was upto the mark. Cleaniless and food was great. Varieties of food in buffet.
Perfect location, family friendly and great for surfing (beginners)
Kjempe hyggelige folk, hjelper deg med alt du trenger hjelp til. God service. Rene rom hver dag. God frokost. Anbefales.
The Staff & Manager was Friendly . Always have a smile and welcoming , Hotel was very Clean, right beside the beach. The Buffet was excellent, and the Service was outstanding. I will recommend for family to stay in this Beautiful view hotel. If i get the chance i will stay for 2 more days.
Super Hotel qui se dégrade. Dommage ! Les chambres sentent la moisissure. Il y a un accès direct sur la plage via la chambre qui n'est pas possible car pas de clé pour fermer cette accès. J'ai réservé pour 3 (2 adultes et 1 enfant de 14 ans) et une fois sur place j'ai du payer un supplément pour un lit pour mon fils. Malgré la confirmation pour 3 seulement 1 lit pour 2. Le buffet est moyen.
Mycket strandnära! Synnerligen hög servicegrad på hotellpersonalen! Trevligt och personligt bemötande under hela min vistelse!
Had a great time at the hotel. The staff was excellent and the food was also good. We stayed during the New Year time & Kids really enjoyed the new year games as well as us. It was nice of the hotel to organize the Kiribath table with traditional sweetmeats during the auspicious time. Nice & calm beach right in front of the hotel. Will definitely stay at Insight again. Great service by Dilani (FOM) and her team.
Ligger precis i mitten av Galle fort. Perfekt för att stanna en natt eller två. Rent, fräscht, sköna sängar och frukost. Gångavstånd till allt, som affärer, restauranger och sevärdheter. Mycket hjälpsam och trevlig personal. Rekommenderar starkt kommer garanterat bo här igen om vi kommer tillbaka.
Great resort right on the beach with clear blue water and waves for surfing just a stone throw away from your room. Enjoy nice fresh juices by the pool served by friendly staff. We enjoyed our delux room with king bed and sea view (#505). Tuktuks take your around to get your surf boards and evening pizza/tacos. Highly recommended for any travelers for a one -two day stopover on their way down to Mirissa.
Nach einem langen Check-in-Prozess mussten wir gleich am Anfang umziehen, da uns eine zu geringe Zimmerkategorie zugewiesen wurde. Ansonsten sind die Zimmer geräumig, allerdings etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Hygienisch sehr abstoßend sind die teilweise heftig aufgerissenen Schaumstoffliegematten auf den Liegestühlen des sonst gepflegten Gartens. Man hat den Eindruck, als würden sich die Matten bereits selbst bewegen. Ausserdem ist der oft schon ältere "Vogeldreck" am Balkon zu bemängeln. Überhaupt lässt die Hygiene zu wünschen übrig. Teilweise kleben die Tische, da nicht sauber abgewischt wurde. Das Frühstück ist i. O.. Störend ist auch, dass man sich mehrmals täglich für das Wi-Fi anmelden muss. Das Personal ist angefangen von der Rezeption und dem Koch bis zur Bedienung und dem Reinigungspersonal für die Zimmer sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Fazit: wir hatten einen längeren Aufenthalt geplant, ziehen aber in einen anderen Ort in ein anderes Hotel, indem wir die letzten 10 Tage verbringen werden
We had a perfect stay at Insight Ahnamgama. The personell was fantastic, rooms and facilities excellent. The pool area beautiful and relaxing. The Hotel is somewhat alone on the beach which gives a secluded feeling. I would highly recommend the hotel.
Very good resort, the location is very good, right on the beach which is almost like a private beach. The staff requires some training as many of them were trainees. The person answering the phone to take orders for room service should be good in communication. The pool and spa are very good. The staff overall is friendly and courteous.
the overall feeling of the hotel was ok. The location is nice with the beach in front. The rooms are spacious and clean, we had a sea view room, which was nice. The service though was not to great satisfaction in parts. We were not very happy with the service for the reception. They had difficulties to communicate in English. They never called back upon a request for a massage. However, the staff at the pool was very nice. Whereas breakfast was good, I would not recommend half board service, as dinner meals were rather dull. We still decided to extend our stay for another two nights, as we really liked the beach, outdoor area, and our room.
Definitely not 3.5 star! Very disappointing. Small holes in bed sheets and frayed towels. Paint pealing off the walls in our room. No buffet breakfast for the first 2 days we were there. The second last night a group of young Sri Lankan's on a work trip came and stayed. The party went on for hours. Running in the hallways, continuous noise, yelling, slamming doors and loud music. By 3 am we were getting pretty annoyed. The staff must have know it was going on because the main dining room is an atrium and is connected to the hallways. There was no way they couldn't have heard. At 3 we called and complained. It did quieten down a bit after that, with only intermittent loud noises. But then it started up again at 6am. So we had breakfast, complained to the manger, who's only excuse was "they are young", and then we went back to bed. We then complained to the management again they were dismissive. We were only there for 5 days and we lost a whole day. They then gave us an ~ AU$6 discount on our stay! The cost of 1 drink, or less than 10% of a nights accommodation. Generally a lousy experience. I would not recommend it to anyone. There were a lot of other nice places we saw on the days we did go out. Please look somewhere else! Don't stay here.
To many things not as agreed or changed, The upgrade I asked for should cost 11$ than they said it was a mistake and they wanted to charge 25$, than they offered 22$ finally the charged 15$ Ordered a papaya juice. Since did not like the taste wanted to have a little bit vanilla icecream and they brought and charged me 6000 Rup for the Ice. Price for Papaya juice 5000 so total 11.000 Rup. When we were going last morning to our surfclass early morning they were running behind us asking wether we would not pay our bill. Responce from me yes at 11:00 when we check out as anounced.
Hôtel donnant sur une très belle plage avec une très grande piscine. Personnel très accueillant, très souriant et très serviable. Belle infrastructure aux chambres confortables et propres. Hôtel tout de même un peu isolé (pas de restaurants à proximité). A recommander +++
Le nostre 3 camere erano tutte in costruzione. Alle 14, ora del check in: non c'erano letti, non c'era intonaco sui muri, erano piene di polvere, detriti di costruzione. insomma, un cantiere. abbiamo dovuto trovarci una sistemazione alternativa per la notte e poi volevano farci tornare lì il giorno seguente. la loro proposta, a pari spesa, era di andare in una pessima guest house. Dopo forti tensioni siamo riusciti a farci assegnare delle camere degne di quel nome. le condizioni igieniche sono comunque pessime e i pasti vengono serviti in mezzo alle mosche. l'unico punto a favore è la posizione fronte mare. guardate i commenti su tripadvisor per vedere anche le foto che pubblicherò. imbarazzante.
The hotel was closed for refurbishment when we arrived. Just by very hard work did we manage to find alternative accomodation because ALL good hotels where full. Not even hotels.com let us know this AND we never got a reply on our request. A very bad xmas experience for our family, how hotels.com can accept bookings when the hotel is closed!!
