Pros:

Hotel staff were fabulous.
Always with a smile and very friendly.
Breakfast was excellent with different varieties.
Pools were very clean and life guards presence was great.
My grandson fell down while coming out of the pool and life guard came and did the first aid.
Pool towel supply was immediate.
We had dinner and drinks with our friends by the pool side and it was very good.
Every one loved my grandchildren.
Easy access to the beach.
Very convenient location.
Thank you Team Camelot

Cons:

Reception area needs air-conditioning not just for the guests but for the staff too.
I don't know what can be done about stray dogs..... from the Reception even on the beach and pool area.
There was no lift to level 1 and it was hard to carry sleeping children

Pros:

Na een lange vlucht is dit een heerlijk hotel om even tot rust te komen. De hotelkamer was mooi en bood een prachtig uitzicht op het zwembad en het strand. Ook is het erg fijn dat je zo op het strand staat! Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk en gastvrij. Daarnaast was het ontbijt zeer uitgebreid, met voor ieder wat wils. Kortom, een fijne plek om je reis in Sri Lanka ontspannen te beginnen. Zeker een aanrader!

Not too far from airport and a good place to refresh before onward travel
Pros:

It was on beach and nice area to sit by pool and bar.

Cons:

It is a bit tired. We upgraded to an early room. Fridge did not work and shower leaked everywhere. It had a comfortable bed which we needed after an early arrival. . It was more or less as we had expected and did what it said on tin

Pros:

המיקום מעולה

Cons:

החדרים לא נראים אותו הדבר כמו בתמונות, לא הייתי נותנת לבית מלון להיות אפילו בית מלון 3 כוכבים.
ארוחת בוקר בינונית מאוד, כמט ולא נגענו באוכל, הוא ממש לא הזמין.

Terrible stay

Cons:

One of the Worst Hotel Experiences- Avoid

I rarely write negative reviews, but my stay at Camelot Beach Hotel left me with no choice. From the moment we checked in, things went wrong. We were shifted across three different rooms because of water leaking from the roof — completely unacceptable for a hotel charging guests for a comfortable stay.

The hygiene situation was alarming. Street dogs were wandering freely inside the hotel, and I watched them drinking water directly from the pool — the same pool where my children and I had been swimming. As a parent, this was deeply disturbing and a serious health concern.

The reception staff were painfully slow and unhelpful every time we approached them. The worst part: I lost one of my bags during the room shuffle, and when I reported it, they simply said they didn't know anything about it. I asked them to check the CCTV footage, and even that request went nowhere.

Overall, this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a hotel. Between the leaking rooms, the unsanitary pool situation, the unresponsive staff, and a lost bag that no one would help me trace, I cannot recommend this place to anyone — especially families with children.
