Sooriya Resort & Spa

space, surroundings

n/a

Large rooms, clean pool, beach views, activities, excellent breakfast. Kind attentive staff from check-in to check-out. Special thanks to Lakshani for her exceptional client handling skills.

A solid resort with great amenities. Highlights were definitely the attentive service from the team, the well-maintained pool and grounds, and the prime location for turtle watching. Would recommend.

On the downside, the property is a bit dated and could do with some modernisation, and the food was fairly average

Schöne Anlage, nur teilweise etwas trist; sehr freundliches Personal; Essen lecker; schöne kleine dschungelartige Wege runter zur Küste - Riesenschildkröte in unmittelbarer Hotelnähe zu beobachten; schöne saubere Zimmer; toller Ausblick; gutes Frühstück

Sehr weit abgelegen, man kann nicht/kaum einfach rausgehen und irgendwo hinschlendern

The hotel is ideally situated overlooking the sea, with a lovely swimming pool and access to the turtles! A big thank you to Chandana and her whole team for their kindness and professionalism.

The staff were incredibly attentive; there were very few guests, they were lovely, and the hotel is very comfortable. A special thank you to Chandana for his impeccable service, he is so thoughtful!!

Nothings

A large room with a comfy bed.

The air conditioner was not functioning properly during our stay. It would also be appreciated if a wider variety of breakfast options could be offered. In addition, the breakfast buffet was not replenished promptly when certain items ran out. On several occasions, we had to inform the staff that dishes needed to be refilled, and it took a considerable amount of time before they were replenished. When we requested finger bowls, we were instead asked to wash our hands at the sink. Providing finger bowls upon request would enhance the overall dining experience especially for the people with little infants. We also noticed that the Google Maps navigation directed us to a very rough access road leading to the property. It would be helpful if the location or navigation details could be updated so that guests are guided via the most suitable route. Overall, addressing these areas would significantly improve the guest experience and satisfaction.

The breakfast was good and staff was also being really supportive. The view here was amazing. we got a beach front room and it had one of the best views

The only downside was that another group staying at the resort hosted a DJ party that continued late into the night, disrupting the otherwise peaceful and relaxing environment.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel with our family. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome, and the service was warm and professional throughout our visit. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. A special thank you to Lakshani, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. We look forward to visiting again!

Nice quiet location, where you can fully relax. Great food, great stuff, absolutely recommend!!! Also thank you for help to get a scooter bike for rent :)

Nothing, everything was perfect!!!

My family and I had an absolutely wonderful vacation at Sooriya Resort & Spa, Tangalle. Without a doubt, this is one of the best hotel we have ever stayed at in Sri Lanka. The resort offers the perfect combination of peace, tranquility, and natural beauty. The calm atmosphere and the stunning beach with beautiful sunrise & sunset made our stay incredibly relaxing. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. What truly stood out was the exceptional hospitality. Ms. Lakshani & the staff was warm, friendly, and always willing to help with a smile, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout our stay. The highlight of our experience was definitely the food. Every meal was delicious, with a great variety to choose from, and the prices were very reasonable, offering excellent value for money.

Started with 2 kids. The hotel design and the facilities are very good. View was amazing. Staff were super friendly and helpful.. Nice garden. Good exploring place to kids.

The road to hotel was bit bumpy which has nothing to do with hotel but should be taken care by local municipal council.

Staff was super friendly and helpful, especially Saman. He showed us around all the beaches and really took his time. When the sea turtle came to one of the beaches in the morning he called us and showed us how to feed him, so amazing! There weren't a lot of guests in the hotel so it was a really calm and relaxing stay.

The ac in the gym wasn't working really good, so it felt a bit like a sauna. The gym equipment was good though. Also, the ac in the room wasn't super cold.

Paradise just got better. Loved it.

Had a great weekend at Sooriya Resort & Spa. The staff were super attentive, the food was great, and we had a really good room with a beach view. What more do you need!

Nothing.

Peaceful and Sunrise

Quality of the mattress, although it’s not a huge deal and it’s a matter of personal preference.

Fabulous hotel. Lovely rooms and great food. Staff are all delightful.

The entire stay at Sooriya was sublime. Staff were exceptionally friendly and professional. The food was simply delicious with so much choice on offer. We were able to spend time relaxing at the pool one of the highlights for us was the beautiful beach....feeding and swimming with the leather back turtles. an incredible experience!

Just wish I could have stayed longer I will certainly return!

La piscine , le personnel

Le petit déjeuner n’était pas à notre goût , le moins bon de notre séjour , la chambre avec jacuzzi « luxe » avait une douche avec un rideau à l’ancienne pas très propre …

Krásny rezort, veľmi milý personál, izba priestranná vždy perfektne uprataná. Kuchyňa výborná. Nádherný výhľad na oceán, možnosť kŕmiť korytnačky ❤️

Rooms were functional and clean. The resort is positioned on a beach cove and features a lovely pool. It was in a great location (walking distance) from where we needed to be.

We found the reception staff to be less than friendly and a little bit lazy. In my bathroom, the flexible shower head was not attached to anything. I could use the fixed shower head but the flexible one had long been out of commission.

Friendly and helpfull staff: the receptioniste, the restaurant manager and the pool manager/safety guard. They made our stay memorable. Showing us the turtle beach and guiding us to the time the turtles would visit

Просторный номер с видом на океан - восхитительно. Везде чисто и аккуратно. Завтраки вкусные и разнообразные. Бассейн чистый и просторный. Отношение персонала - выше всяких похвал. Мы были очень рады провести здесь несколько дней.

Все прекрасно.

Only the location. You won’t find anything special in this hotel.

Not value for money. Very poor quality restaurant and poor quality foods.

Great food, very clean, friendly staff

Sooriya Resort is a midsize hotel in a remote and lovely setting. Everything about it is well-designed and luxurious. I had a special room with an expanded view and I spent hours just gazing at the sea.

The saddest thing about lovely luxurious hotels is that air conditioning requires that doors and windows be kept shut and I REALLY wanted to listen to the sound of the sea. Always a rebel, I left my window open for a bit and filled my room with flying insects. Oops.

Schitterend uitzicht over de oceaan. Mooie grote kamers en groot balkon met uitzicht op de oceaan. Goede warme krachtige douche.

Kamer en bepaalde delen van het hotel hebben renovatie nodig (gescheurde tegels), de glanzende tegels in de hotelkamer laten alles zien (in ons geval zwarte haren en wij zijn allemaal blond). Ontbijtbuffet was prima maar we hebben in vergelijkbare hotels betere gehad. Zeker qua hygiëne en uitstraling.

Zajtrk na voljo vse njihove tradicionalne jedi; stringhopersi, curryi

The hotel locatio is good, near is very good restaurant in the beach.

The hotel is need the remont. Everything are old.

Big rooms, beautiful balcony. Nice swimming pool. Nice bar and restaurant. Cute little restaurants around the place.

Nothing I can think of

Everything is below expectations and completely deceived by photos published

Food was horrible.. below the value paid .. left early even booked for 2 days only stayed for 1 day because of the unpleasant experience

Friendly Staff & very helpful. The location was relaxing & peaceful

Would be great to have more variety in food selections

Blown away about how bad this was. I cant comprehend how it is possible to own a hotel like this and just totaly ruin it. Some of the worst service in Sri Lanka we experienced on our 14 days trip through the country. Breakfast, if you can call it that was so terrible we just stopped eating. The pictures are lying and the hotel is not what you think it is.

The location was amazing.

The place could be cleaner. The air con in our room was not working as it should be.

Room very spacious and powerful shower. Views exceptional and great access to the beach to see turtles. Organised us a trip to see turtles laying eggs which was a real highlight.

Nice place with friendliest staff. Really Nice restaurant aswell. You can see sea turtles from the nearby Beach

A bit far away from everything.

Great service and clean rooms

Friendly staff and facilities at the hotel are good. Nearest beach is a rocky beach. Last few KM of the road leading to the hotel is very poor. This section needs to upgrade and possibly out of hotel managements' control. They may need to coordinate with the neighboring hotels and the local authority. However, signs leading to the hotel from the main road is not very clear. Google maps lead to a circuitous route. Need to upgrade the signs leading to the hotel in every junction and this is under hotel management.

The staff were very friendly and tried their best to please us by meeting all our requests and needs. Prasanna at reception was fantastic, especially in helping us organise tours. He recommended Suji as our personal driver, who took very good care of us throughout our week-long stay, and we could trust him completely. The resort itself is beautiful and tranquil, set within lovely and very large gardens rich in flora and fauna. The view of the beach running along the coastline from the large pool and outdoors terrace was stunning. Our rooms were extremely big with a lovely and spacious terrace. The food and buffets were delicious. I would highly recommend this resort as it is gorgeous and amazing value for money. We didn't want to leave. Thank you so much Prasanna and Suji for making our stay wonderful.

Excellent

Nothing

I selected this mostly considering the location of the resort. Facing to the view of indian ocean.

Highly impressed with my stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The rooms were spotless, and the view from my room was absolutely stunning. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience

Nothing

Room structure is neat and spacious and it has a calm look.

Nothing

Unbequeme Betten, unzuverlässiges Personal, miefendes Badezimmer, schlechtes Essen, schlechte Lage.

Best Value for Money I experienced in the Area of Tangalle. From the time of check-in to check out, me and my family was taken very good care of by the staff and management. Definitely will return again soon.

N/A

Good.

Poor beach area.

Beautiful quiet resort Good Breakfast and nice pool

Good location nice room. Food was ok but not fantastic, breakfast was expensive

Spectacular view from the room by panoramic window (Just 1 room with that wiev). Sun sens from the bed. The location is far away from civilisation (20 min by tuk tuk) but this was what we wanted 😀.

Windows was not clean. It is a big disadvantage if you choose your room because of spectacular wiew 😀

The comfortable bed and the view out to sea.

The customer service, unprofessionalism and personal attack because of valid concerns about my stay. Broke data protection laws disclosing private information from an email on trip advisor response. Gym equipment broken, rusty and not up to standard, multi gym unsafe to use. Raised some other concerns all of which not acknowledged appropriately and hard core inappropriate defence, also lied because I had not taken photo evidence, which I believe would not be necessary if you stayed at a decent hotel with standards that listened to genuine concerns. Wrote a personal and slandarous attack against myself because I had raised issues which were not appropriately dealt with.

Large and comfortable room with great views overlooking the ocean, the gardens and the pool. The pool was amazing in the morning. Reception staff were very accommodating fixing problems.

Our last day of stay housekeeping woke us up and we're entering the room well before 8am to ask if we were checking out now not even 8am.. we reported this event to the reception staff who were incredibly apologetic. Whilst the food from the kitchen staff was generally quite good, it should be noted that the carbonara is made with a very heavy cream milk, which we thought was unusual and a little bit sickening. The chef was very rude when confronted with my Italian wife's feedback about this.

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.

Lovely sea view

No WiFi even though on the booking it said there would be. Remote location, dirty rooms. Staff seemed disinterested a lot of the time. Not worth the money at all. Very dated, and breakfast wasn’t great - buffet style, and saw staff using the same spoon for vegetarian curries as fish curries. As a vegetarian, this wasn’t ideal. Facilities outdated also

The location itself is nice, but all of the hotel and facilities are outdated. The breakfast is dismal.

Too dirty, outdated etc.

Quiet

Service

Good value for the money.

The staff had some difficulties with English, which led to some misunderstandings

We really enjoyed the view. That was the best thing about the hotel. The staff was very welcoming, especially Aslam. Food was also really good and we liked the variations.

The rooms could have been more clean. The facilities were not properly maintained with showers spilling water everywhere, uncleaned drainage. There was dirt in the room floors and didn't seem mopped for some time.

Facilities and staff

Hotel in very nice place And I see one person his name ASLEM very helpful person good man.

Nothing

Staff were courteous and helpful when assistance was required. Atmosphere with the swimming pool and the walk to beach. Rooms excellent. Only stayed one night to rate. Would certainly recommend and most likely stay longer in the future.

Friendly staff Lovely pool with helpful pool attendant ( sa’ma)

Isolated with a poor access road Mainly a locals resort which meant we felt a bit like second class citizens as everything geared to locals

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.

once you arrive at the property you greeted with great customer service. I was offered Soursop which from the previous reviews there were issues about being forced to drink it. I would not say I was forced but the drink is given to give your body a kick start to wellness treatment to help promote healthy values to your body. the staff were not forceful to me at all. They were so helpful and nice every step of the way. From the massages and great Sri Lanka food to the nutrition drinks and sea turtle watch areas, Hospitality transportation everything was great. Plus on my last day before going home I stepped on sea urchins and everyone there gave me immediate attention to the hospital and making sure I made it to my flight on time. I can not thank them enough for everything. if you ever get a chance to stay here please take advantage of the Chefs cooking and the masses ( because the massage treatment are like no other and actually help promote fat removal if you get the Sauna everyday thru your stay if your staying more than a week. also if your expecting this place to remind you of your regularly living arrangements then you may need to re-evaluate your expectations this place is a wellness resort to get away from noise and to give you peace and serenity and meditation but you can arrange outside tours with groups and local shopping fishing and many excursions as well.

there are no complaints about this property at all.

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.
