Pros:

Bedjes op het strand, lekker onder de boompjes. Srrand lekker rustig en je kon lekker een drankje bestelken.b
Dit was de 1e keer bij aankomst op sri lanka
2e keer voor de terugreis, dachten doen hetzelfde hotel maar deze keer was het anders.Kregen niet de geboekte kamer (balkon seaview)geen bedjes op strand vrij, te druk.
Dus onze 1e ervaring geen constante factor bij dit hotel. Cijfer resencie wat aangepast nu.

Cons:

Te druk, geen voldoende bedjes op strand en zwembad.

Deceptie
Pros:

Alles “ziet” er prachtig uit, totdat je echt dichtbij kijkt. Kraan los, verweerd dak. Ik koos deze locatie vanwege de hoge waardering en omdat ik een goede nachtrust wilde voor twee lange vluchten: 😏

Cons:

Personeel is geldbelust, niet klantgericht. Vreselijk gehorige kamer (434) : al het verkeer hoorbaar van de straat €150 dollar (ex tax ex ontbijt) of meer zelfs is veel geld in Sri Lanka voor één nacht. Van 6:30-7:00 gewacht in de foyer …één groot muggencircus

The perfect place to spend a day by the pool following an action packed holiday.
Pros:

Pool. Cleanliness of the room. Beach front location. Breakfast selection. Surprise birthday cake for my partner.

Cons:

Cleanliness of the beach, although appreciate this might not be the hotels responsibility. We found metal debris from the fireworks when walking barefoot outside of the hotel. Lack of response to request made via booking.com messages. Taxi transfer was double the price of a local company.

Pros:

We stayed at Goldi Sands just after landing and before continuing into Sri Lanka. We were given a warm welcome in a lovely hotel.

The buffet was tasty and extensive, with some options suitable for my vegan partner.

There was live music played at dinner which created a nice atmosphere.

The room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

No problems for us.

There are dogs which hang out around the property if this is a problem for you, but we like dogs.
