Puttalam Hotels with Bars

"Superb hotel very good service"

"We'd like to share our impressions of our stay at this hotel. We spent 8 nights here with friends. The hotel is truly spacious, with well-maintained green grounds and a convenient location (across the road from the beach, surrounded by a river). We liked the all-inclusive meal plan: there was always a good selection of both Sri Lankan and European cuisine. The rooms are spacious, with a balcony and a bathroom. In our opinion, they could use some cosmetic updating. Unfortunately, two issues seriously marred our stay. 1. The situation with animals on the premises. There are cats and dogs on the hotel grounds. We were very sad to see that, in our opinion, some staff members' treatment of them is not humane. We personally witnessed them being chased away, and in some cases, doused with hot water and physically assaulted. This was very upsetting. 2. Insect control. During our stay, during the day, when many guests (including families with children) were around the pool and dining area, hotel staff began chemically treating the area. A thick, pungent odor spread, covering the pool, lounge, and dining areas. The fact that this treatment was carried out without warning and in the presence of people (especially children in the pool) was extremely surprising and concerning. My husband has asthma, and he had to urgently use his inhaler. As someone with an agricultural background, I understand the necessity of such treatments, but we believe that conducting them during peak guest activity hours is unsafe. We contacted the management to request information about the medication used for our doctor, but we were never provided with this information. Overall, the hotel infrastructure leaves a pleasant impression, but the reported incidents regarding animal welfare and guest safety significantly impacted our overall experience."

"Good location, just next to the beach, very quiet, a few kilometers away from the town, need to take a car, about 20 yuan back and forth. There are small bugs in the hotel pool, and the restaurant tastes average. There was no hot water check-in, no hot water in the middle of the night, and the service staff could not be found before and after the hotel. . . I saw people the next morning! But the waiter's attitude is very good, the hotel is relatively clean, the boss is good."

"Hotel vacation is not bad, breakfast is also very good, by the sea, the wind and waves, the swimming pool is very large, very good, the poolside bar consumption is not high, the report number can be recorded. Overall is very good."

"In fact, this hotel is very comfortable, it is the most comfortable hotel I have visited in Sri Lanka, the environment is also very good. However, this hotel is a seaside, private beach... It is not particularly convenient to go in and go out. If there is no chartered car, the hotel will call the car. Everything else is super good!"

"We had an amazing honeymoon at this resort. The food was exceptional and the staff were also quiet efficient. I'll recommend Wattura Resort and Spa to traveller who would like to enjoy their stay in Sri Lanka."

"A good hotel on the seaside. There was a problem with lack of hot water, but in such a heat it is tolerable. Staff is kind . Breakfasts are uniform but quite edible. Overall not a bad hotel for a few days of relaxation on the ocean shore."
