Hotels near Coop mark, Hambantota

After staying at Amangalla, which was absolutely fantastic, we came to Amanwella. We were a little apprehensive after having had such a great time at the first hotel. But Amanwella was great, too! The architecture by famous Australian, Kerry Hill, is stunning and smack dab in the middle of a dreamy tropical beach! The infinity pool cantilevers over the serene and gorgeous view, with beautiful sunsets a-plenty. We enjoyed spending time in the attractive library, read and saw books on local history, to Nixon. The whole place was immaculate. We really enjoyed our safari to Yala National Park. Rujitha and an our driver Chummly accompanied us and they were awesome! Thank you guys! We had a blast! We saw monkeys, elephants and even a leopard! We got very lucky. We enjoyed the food and the people who served us in the two restaurants and the people at the front desk and even the tuk tuk drivers. We happily did yoga everyday! We also went up to the rock temple. Definitely got our steps in for the month, but it was worth it. Our room was large, comfortable, and beautiful with a great view of the ocean. We can’t say enough about the place. It’s relaxing and beautiful and the people who work there are both well trained but also kind. If you go, don’t forget to eat the ice cream! Honestly the best we’ve ever had. We also took a great cooking class with the Executive Sous Chef, who was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. So fun and interesting. We enjoyed the musicians, too! We had fun meeting a few of the other guests, and ended up having very interesting conversations with people from the other side of the world. But it’s also a place you could go and if you wanted to , you could just spend time quietly by yourself. Highly recommend Amanwella. We will treasure our memories forever.

You have a lovely property but this is not the way to go. On the booking channel you said that you have A restaurant A bar 24h room service WiFi in every room Laundry service But in fact, there is no WiFi No possibility to do laundry or even have you bring it somewhere else to wash it. There is no remote for the air conditioning The bathroom door is missing a handle the toilet leaks water after you flush There are so many insects and FROGS in the room And the bare minimum is to have soap in the bathroom so you can wash your hands properly. If you want this to succeed, you need to start offering more services like scooter rentals, have bottled water in the rooms, have soap in the rooms, have WiFi in the rooms, have proper air conditioning and take action to keep animals out of the rooms. I also didn’t see a single person from the time I got my room to when I left two days early due to the standard. If you fix these things I’m sure people will enjoy staying with you. Good luck!

We had the hotel basically just for us (there was just 1 other guest that left the next mornign). Unfortunately the pandemic hit hard in Sri Lanka which resulted in many hotels closing for 2 years. When we arrived it looked like they were not even expecting us, and we had to wait for the room to be prepared. Nevertheless, they quickly called reinforces and prepared everything for our stay. The hotel is very isolated, which is great to relax. The beach is just unbelievably calm, relaxing and stunning. You can be swimming while seeing monkeys in the palm trees, and without seeing any other tourist for hours and hours (contrary to Unawatuna and Mirissa areas). The dinner was delicious and carefully prepared. The staff is also lovely, and we could see they are doing their best to start recovering the business. The only reasons I can't give 5 stars to this are: the clear lack of maintenance in the hotel (many parts need an urgent fix and restructure) and also, they just changed the bed sheets of one of our beds while preparing the room. When I went to sleep in the single bed, I realized it was all dirty, with dozens of small dead bugs (inside and outside of the bed/sheets) and mold. However, we called the man in service that night, and he quickly changed the bed sheets. You have EVERYTHING it takes to become a 5* place, just PLEASE do some maintenance and be more careful with hygiene. I believe this was due to the fact they were closed for 2 years, and didn't had costumers since the reopening in that room. But everything else is fantastic.
