Hotel a Meetiyagoda

“We went for this hotel based on the trust in the Riu brand, location, all inclusive basis and general good reviews. Overall the hotel was very good. We’d stop short of rating it as excellent based on some of the amenities looking / feeling slightly tired - probably on the basis of having been worked hard. Some key thoughts; We visited during the Middle East war / crisis and consequently the hotel was much quieter than normal. Therefore everything felt more spacious, less crowded and easier to...

“It was the most unpleasant stay in Sri Lanka and in general in several years traveling in Asia. The receptionist was totally unfriendly, just interested in getting us out out the hotel....and we understood why: some rooms were under renovation, so there was noise from early in the morning through the day. Nobody addressed us any excuse or recognize any kind of compensation for that. The guy at the restaurant was superb and hostyle, trying to reduce breakfast against what was our right to receive...

“Gave us the wrong room initially but corrected. Large room & bathroom, nice pool to cool off in. Great staff. Nearby Beach Club is right on the beach & excellent ”

“Hotel fantastico sulla spiaggia, camere ampie con una vista meravigliosa sul mare, pulizia ottima e bagno e doccia stupende, assolutamente da tornare ”

“Surprisingly stylish tranquil haven. Good price. Highly recommend. Chilled out owners and vibe.”

“There isn’t much close by just the beach and huge amazing pool. Wish there were more shops”

“Wir waren für drei Nächte in diesem Hotel und hatten eine rundum fantastische Erfahrung. Schon der Start war perfekt: Obwohl wir bereits um 8 Uhr morgens angekommen sind, konnten wir direkt unser Zimmer beziehen – das ist wirklich nicht selbstverständlich und hat uns sehr gefreut. Der Service war einfach der Wahnsinn. Das gesamte Team war unglaublich aufmerksam, herzlich und jederzeit hilfsbereit. Man hat sich sofort willkommen und bestens umsorgt gefühlt. Auch das Frühstück war sehr...

“Dieser Aufenthalt war perfekt, das Boot ist sehr luxuriös, die Mitarbeiter empfangen und betreuen Ihre Gäste mit herzlicher Freundlichkeit. Jeder Wünsch wird sofort erfüllt. Die 2 stündige Bootstour ist so wunderschön, ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis, dass uns immer in Erinnerung bleiben wird. ”

“Magnifique batiment avec une vraie style, piscine excellent, personnel super-sympa”

“The standing of this hotel which claims, boasts and advertises as luxurious was really disappointing. Premises are ageing, amenities and food offer very basic and the standards of both cleanliness and comfort not really satisfying.”

“L’hotel era in condizioni impeccabili! La camera al piano terra pulita e ben curata, la colazione buonissima. Tutto il personale è sempre attento ad ogni tua necessità, lo consiglio veramente!”

“Etwas in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel.Dafür aber sehr freundliches und aufmerksames Personal.”

“A family business run by Himmel. The property sits right next to Bentota Lagoon. There is a daily shuttle to and from the beach. The accommodation is in a block of two floors. The rooms are clean and spacious with plenty of storage space and a large furnished patio or balcony overlooking the pool and lagoon. The rooms are kept very clean by very friendly staff. Breakfast is plentiful with a good choice. Himmel also runs a travel firm called Zeus Travel which provides transport to where ever you...

“This was our 2nd stay at the Asian Jewel. Our return was based on our previous experience which was lovely staff, good food, clean and spacious room. The location is out of town but was easy/cheap to get tuk tuks and being situated next to the lagoon allowed us to see lots of beautiful birds from our balcony. Would recommend and hope to return again.”
