My husband and i stayed at The Fortress- Koggala last weekend for two nights and had a wonderful stay! As we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff with a cool drink and cold towel..they even knew our names before we could announce ourselves! The check in was done in the room and by the time we walked to... More

Just perfect: huge standard room (about 65 sqm) with a huge bathroom and all of the technical finishing touches. Excellent and great amenities boy : clean, clean room,fantastic beds and several times on the day new laundry and room service. We liked it very much. A aufgedecktes and decorated the bed with flowers to find. Good selection of food,but to... More

This hotel is built to five star standards in a five star spot, but parts of the business just don't match such a star rating. We stayed for 12 nights in January 2012. Our room was a Fortress room without a sea view. It was vast, well appointed and lacking in nothing. The room was clean and well serviced including... More

We stayed here at the beginning of January and also had our wedding here. I wouldn't of had our wedding any other way, totally perfect and can't thank Chani enough, everything we requested was not a problem and she was very helpful throughout the whole stay. All the extra personal touches we wanted, she was very accommodating. We chose the... More

A belated review following a 10 night stay at this fantastic hotel which included our wedding for which a massive thank you must go to Gayani, the wedding co-ordinator. We stayed in one of the beach suites on the ground floor, opening out into the gardens in front of the sea and close to the swimming pool. The room was... More

We stayed in this hotel for 8 nights - a lovely hotel, maybe a bit faded but certainly did not affect our enjoyment and ongoing refurb. i.e patch painting white columns was surreptitious and did not interrupt guests. The only minor complaint I would have is the hotel restaurant which is expensive and limited choice especially ifmyou stay at the... More

This hotel is very good (room, swimming pool area) but the service is 3star. The restaurant service is very desorganized and at the swimming pool facilities also. The worst thing was on the last day, just when were living the hotel to the airport, we saw that was missing money. Our luggage stayed a few hours in a office near... More

Beautiful grounds, fantastic rooms with a wow factor and very friendly staff. However, limited choice at restaurant and nearest local restaurants are a 15 minute tuk tuk drive away. More

The Fortress probably deserves 5 stars in the Sri Lanka context as it is way above most other hotels in terms of service and client consideration. Excellent restaurant (although the fruit is not as lusciously sweet as in central sri lanka), great ambience by the sea with the continuous roar of crashing waves in front, superb 50m pool in front...
