訪訪客This hotel is in Wattala which is only 7km from the Fort train station but feels ages away.
Service - excellent. As in all areas of Sri Lanka the staff are very friendly and helpful. All say hello and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs. There seems to be an army of cleaners and wait staff and again, all are friendly with very good English. The doorman was my favourite with a massive smile and great personality!
There were some issues with the half-board deal I was on regarding when and where you can have the half board - which is only breakfast and dinner although on Trip it reads like you have a choice of when you can have your two meals a day. So just clarify when you arrive to be sure.
Facilities - big open ground, big swimming pool which you could do laps in if you wanted but also with decent steps on the side so younger children can play. There is also a small children's pool too which is adjacent to the big pool and next to the sun bathing area which has around 10 sun chairs in pairs with an umbrella and small table around the grass area, with more chairs and beanbags set up on the higher area.
I have seen big groups playing team games, cricket, football, some weird waterpolo/volleyball/handball game in the pool and even a few keen cricket players today.
Restaurant - the floor level open air restaurant is well staffed, nicely proportioned and the buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner is extensive (if a little repetitive after three days). On some occasions there was live music which was nice and not overpowering, playing mainly English music.
Bar - The Fishery is the outdoor restaurant for al e carte food service and some drinks. You can choose to sit under the roof bar area or under trees next to it, on big picnic style seating.
Gym - this is located next to the pool/restaurant and although it is a bit tired, it has everything you need. The running machines are a bit clunky but at least they work, the weight machines are a little stiff to move but again they are functional. There are free weights and area to work out - even a small space for yoga or stretching if thats your thing. There is also air conditioning - and in 30+ heat, very much needed!
Downside - its a bit hard to get to and you have to take a taxi or tuk tuk (don't pay anything over 5,000 for this!). The beach which you can see and hear, is very close but not suitable for swimming - especially for young children. Also the beach isn't particularly clean - outside the hotel the beach is raked for appearances, but walk 50m to your left or right, and its not too pretty!
Not really a downside but be aware that if you are here in weekend, this place seems to host a lot of parties, weddings and events - which is great energy with lots of noise and atmosphere. It is a lot quieter in the week days. And the pool becomes full in the afternoons!!!
CClive GAwesome location so close to the beach but they really need to up their game on maintenance which seems to be lacking for years. It’s not healthy for paying customers to be breathing in dust and musty surroundings. Apart from that it’s a beautiful hotel with so much heritage and hope they will do justice to improve the place
訪訪客Het hotel geeft niet de luxe-ervaring die eerdere Jetwing hotels ons wel gaven. Het strand is heel mooi en de service goed. Ze komen water brengen naar je kamer, leggen een handdoek en kussen klaar aan het zwembad en het personeel is heel vriendelijk. De airco op de kamer werkte heel slecht, er is heel veel lawaai in de kamer vanop de gang, je hoort alles. Vaak hangt er een hele vieze geur in het hotel, een visgeur. De wifi is niet top. Ook de lakens hadden vieze vlekken. Als je aan het strand ligt, wordt je ook continue lastiggevallen door verkopers met kledij en dergelijke. De kamer was ook niet klaar bij inchecktijd.
Jjcsjtu科倫坡海洋灣酒店(Marine Bay Colombo,MB),名符其實的海邊海灣酒店,跨過門口的公路,再跨過(通海上火車的)海岸鐵路,就是印度洋。地理位置相對不錯,步行即可去到附近的商店、購物中心之類。酒店房間的窗外就是海景,時不時還會看到海上火車經過。
酒店的房間很大,設施相對比較簡單,但非常的乾淨衞生,服務人員都很熱情友善,彬彬有禮,房間的佈局很不錯,床鋪寬大舒適,盥洗毛巾、床單、枕頭之類的物品的品質良好,不過,不提供牙刷牙膏梳子拖鞋等用品(可能是斯里蘭卡的基本規則)。酒店的早餐也不錯,食品算不上特別豐富,但種類基本齊全,營養肯定是足夠的,口味都不錯。
總體上説,這家酒店的軟硬件服務、環境等均不錯,體驗感良好。
