Trip Advisor Reviews
Bad restaurant and staff experience
My boyfriend and I have now traveled most of Sri Lanka and the last destination was hikkiduwa. This has been the worst experience so far. The staff was lazy and we felt like they didn’t care at all...
We decided to eat at their restaurant and ordered 2 curry’s not spicy. 25 minutes later we got one small bowl with soup - and the chicken where 10 percent meat. The “curry” was ofc spicy so it was almost impossible to eat. When we asked for the bill, they didn’t know what we ordered so we waited even more, and maybe it’s important to say there were only two more persons here. Very bad experience, I’m sure you’ll find a better hotel.
Plan my Gap Year quarantine
This place is absolutely beautiful and amazing! The staff were so kind to us, we weren't just guests, we were treated as family and friends. We will miss them dearly! My friends and I were here for our two week quarantine, and I wouldn't have wanted to spend it anywhere else! Thank you for everything!
Great Service, Great Location
This is the 2nd time I have stayed at Coral Sands although this time was different due to Covid-19. This was my 14 day quarantine hotel, but it felt more like a relaxing holiday. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful...
The food was very good - and traditional Sri Lankan food was available as well as western food. The hotel is right on the beach which is good for swimming and snorkeling. The hotel kept strictly to the Level 1 Hotel accreditation standards which made you feel safe and secure at all times. Can highly recommend Coral Sands Hotel for exceptional service and great beach-front location.
Friendly Staff, Excellent food, Rooms need renovation & Amenities need to improved
We stayed at coral sands on 26 September 2020 for one night to celebrate our anniversary. They arranged us a cake and nice room on upper floor with sea view. Staff was great and helpful...
Pool area is great.
Highly recommended 3rd floor rooms with sea view also with more privacy. Buffet was great with delicious Sri Lankan food.If they can add 1 or 2 western items it would be great.
There are common area if you want to iron. Rooms need to be renovated & they need to upgrade the amenities. In our room there were shampoo, shower gel & soap only. Tea, coffee making facility was available however no variety of tea available. We were provided 2 small water bottles however when it was finished , I requested more from the front desk as per them if you are staying for one night 2 water bottles will be provided. If you want more will be on chargeable basis and they informed that tap water is drinkable.
We had a memorable stay. Thank you hotel team.
Great location and Value for money
This is my third visit to this hotel, every time we had a wonderful time. They arranged us a good room with a nice sea view. Pool was clean and food was fabulous...
Although room was clean i think it needs a little upgrade. Staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend to have a good time.
