Hotel berhampiran Duty Free Store Fancy Club, Daerah Galle

We had a XL upgraded room and were All inclusive booked through Aitken Spence via Mercury Holidays who I thoroughly recommend they gave us a private transfer to and from airport and they have a local Rep who looks after you. The room had bedside tables with an English plug and 2 usb slots. Comfy King size double bed, good shower (cubical a bit worn/grubby around edges) and jacuzzi bath there was a small sitting area, free Safe, tea coffee making facilities, small outside balcony with Excellent 180D sea and pool view. The staff are friendly and helpful. Although 3 star the food is just as good as any of the 4 star hotels we stayed in on our tour. Food is buffet style so something for everyone. Excellent quiet a/c and also ceiling fan above bed. Pool area looks clean and well kept. Service 4/5, Cleanliness 4/5, in some places it is a little tatty around the edges. Our room was bug free, Sometimes there are power cuts electric goes off but then comes straight back on again. There is some road noise at night but otherwise quiet. There was also entertainment on Saturday night in the dinning area 2 men playing acoustic guitars mainly 70s American music and they were surprisingly very good. Safe calm swimming beach right outside of the hotel sandy bottom so no need for swim shoes. Reef comes right up to beach so snorkelling from beach is safe and shallow with lots of large and small coloured fishes. Turtle beach 5 min walk away. There are shops,restaurants, banks etc on the road just outside hotel, no path but we felt safe walking around local area. We found heckling to be minimal. We would stay at Coral Sands again so recommend it.

It was the amazing place i have visited. Had a great welcome from front line staff. Room is perfect and had a great view. Dinner and breakfast was amazing and very tasty. Breakfast bufet had a wide selection of western and local food. I requested to arrange a birthday cake at the breakfast time and they were arranged a tasty cake with special birthday surprise. Overall can be give 10 out of 10.

Overall, it was an enjoyable stay although in some respects it was inferior to other hotels I stayed in on the holiday. The pools were great and so was the view from the room. The room itself was alright - quite basic but sufficient. We did have problems with a leak in the ceiling which was promptly addressed by staff but still a little annoying. In general the staff were lovely: in particular Chamindu in the restaurant, a security guard who called me and my partner over to show us turtles on the beach (sorry, can't remember his name) and the guy working the sunloungers at the lower pool. The weakest part was probably the food. It wasn't bad exactly, it was just worse than the food in all the other hotels I stayed in.

The people are what make this such a special place! The rooms are nice and clean. Laundry available for a very reasonable price which was great for our 3+week stay. Local restaurants, spas and shopping locations all within walking distance. The fort is an incredible location for a holiday! Can't wait for our next visit!!

We spent three weeks driving around Sri Lanka and, with a few days left before heading to the Maldives, decided to explore the southern province. Despite May not being the ideal season to visit the southwest, our experience at The Charleston at Galle Fort more than compensated for it. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to exceptional hospitality that truly set The Charleston apart. I hold top elite status with several hotel chains and have stayed in numerous premium five-star hotels, but the level of service here was on another level. The staff went above and beyond in every aspect, from the warm welcome at check-in to the personalized attention throughout our stay. The location, just south of Galle Fort, serves as an excellent base for exploring the area.

Agnus Unawatuna is a little up into the hills, but the trip up is so worth it. The place is serene and the view is breathtaking; you get a top-down view of the ocean in all its glory, and you can even enjoy the view of the famous Galle Fort and Lighthouse from a distance. Service and amenities are amazing, and facilities are modern. Rooms are clean and well-equipped. It was a wonderful experience and the perfect place for a personal retreat! Would definitely come again if I have the chance, and have already recommended this place to some friends! Thank you!
