Goldi Sands Hotel

The hotel was part of a tour and for the most part we enjoyed the stay. Room and food were good and enjoyed the pool. As it was a busy time and there were a few functions happening with Christmas celebrations. A feature of Sri Lankan Christmas appears to be lots of fireworks and explosions going off 24 seven. Didn’t stop at night so compromised sleep The restaurant put on a Christmas Eve dinner that was incredible. Variety and selection was amazing. We enjoyed the pool table and the spa, staff were great.

Nice 4* hotel. Rooms clean and spacious, lovely beds, good bathrooms. Nice location on the beach, but quite busy road on the backside (earplugs recommended if you are a light sleeper) Great for a few nights after long flight as hotel is quite close to airport. Not much noise from planes though. If staying for a longer period concider upgrade to deluxe rooms which seem to have lovely balconies and less problems with noise from the road. Nice pool area, but very few sunbeds available (concidering number of rooms at the hotel), and unfortunately quite a few people reserving beds without using them for longer periods during the day. Food was fine. Service good. Would not hesitate to stay again before/after flight.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this stay was disappointing from start to finish. booked two week all inclusive with Tui and moved hotel it was so bad - a first for us - we are in our 50s and travel regularly totally recognising varying standards across the word * Bar service was painfully slow, and every single drink required a signature, which felt excessive and inconvenient. No wine included in all inclusive package even at dinner * The property is more of a transient airport hotel than the “boutique” experience advertised. Towels and bedding were visibly greying, and the overall condition of the hotel was tired and lacked any atmosphere * Shockingly, there were mattresses left in the hallways, which gave the place a neglected feel.the stare of other areas including lift carpet was poor * The food quality was mediocre at best. Snacks were only available during very limited times, while the à la carte menu was open all day—but only for guests who hadn’t prepaid. the food area resembled a low quality school canteen * The so-called all-inclusive package excluded basics like orange juice and diet coke, which was frustrating. * When we raised issues with staff, they were responsive for a couple of hours, but everything quickly reverted back to the same poor standards. * Mojitos were routinely unavailable, glasses around the pool sat uncleared for the entire day, and the pool bar was often unmanned. Overall, this hotel failed to deliver even the basics of comfort and service. Definitely not worth the money or the “boutique” label. Avoid !

Our server was lakmini, she served us very well and brought out the food quickly 🥰 Moreover, I loved the atmosphere of this hotel, it was very calming and soothing

Hieman elähtänyt majoitispaikka jota päivitetty osin uudempaan kuosiin. Huone tilava ja ilmastoitu, varustuksena jääkaappi,tallelokero, hiustenkuivain, tv. Pistokeadapteri mukaan, pistokkeita löytyy sekä Intian mallia että Englantilaista, jännite 230V. Palvelu toimii ja henkilökunta on auttavaista. Tuli nautittua vain aamiainen mutta se oli malliltaan kuin lounas seisovasta pöydästä. Meri 100 metrin päässä, ranta ei ole uimiseen sopiva mutta auringonlasku upea. A slightly outdated accommodation that has been partly updated to a newer design. The room is spacious and air-conditioned, equipped with a fridge, safe, hairdryer, TV. You need to bring a plug adapter, there are both Indian and English plugs, voltage 230V. The service works and the staff is helpful. I only got to enjoy breakfast but it was like lunch from a standing table. The sea is 100 meters away, the beach is not suitable for swimming but the sunset is magnificent.
