Wattura Resort and Spa

Wonderful from the beginning to end. Great rooms water on every side and a magnificent pool. |Breakfast is sumptuous no buffet but a great selection of dishes. The Sri Lankan and Indian breakfasts were stunning. |We also had a beautiful dinner accompanied by a fun family band. ||All the team were excellent it would be unfair to name just one. |I love it that the GM gets in and helps the team.

Here is an English version of the review:||||---||||My stay at Wattura Resort & Spa was a true feast for the senses. Chef **Shanuka** and his talented kitchen team create dishes of exceptional quality – exquisite in flavor, crafted with great attention to detail, and presented so beautifully that you can admire them before you even take the first bite. Every meal felt unique, full of fresh ingredients and stunning compositions.||||The service also deserves the highest praise. Waiters **Lehan** and **Pasindu** took wonderful care of us, explaining each dish with professionalism and warmth, and making sure every moment at the table was comfortable and enjoyable. Their hospitality added an extra layer of pleasure to the dining experience.||||I highly recommend this place – it’s where gastronomy becomes art, and every guest feels truly special from start to finish.

Great property but felt like it was rundown and not maintained well due to maybe less occupation. The staff were super friendly and helpful and addressed our requirements then and there. Their welcome drinks are one of a kind. Tasted so good. The suite was cleaned well and the view was pleasantly calm. We didn’t use the amenities as we had our own. The bathroom towels were very old and were half yellow however they replaced them with newer ones as soon as we requested. The Restaurant had fine dining. The portions were good and the food was nice. Anju from the restaurant was very friendly and attentive. The breakfast was delayed even if they took our order the night before. The napkins and cutlery was not sent along with the food. The water park and the pool was well maintained and the kids loved it. We didn’t have time to go to the beach. It’s a beautiful property which needs a bit more attention on the maintenance. I am sure the place must be cheerful during busier times.

I visited Wattura Resort a few weeks ago and stayed in one of their suites with my family. Overall, we had a pleasant stay with a few highlights as well as some areas that could use improvement. Positives: The location is absolutely beautiful and serene. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was clean and comfortable. They thoughtfully arranged a cot for our little baby. The washroom was spotless and well-maintained. The complimentary cake arranged for our celebration was a lovely gesture that we truly appreciated. Areas for Improvement: (Sharing this based on our experience at other resorts in a similar price range) The food was the main area of disappointment. There was no buffet, and the à la carte menu had very limited options. Some dishes tasted quite bland, and portion sizes were rather small. The menu seemed to focus more on bread and carbohydrate-heavy items, with fewer protein and vegetable options. Including more balanced, flavourful, and varied dishes would make a big difference. Even small touches, like offering ice cream or a wider dessert selection, could really enhance the dining experience. Additionally, the hot chocolate we tried was overly sweet.The biriyani which we had for lunch just had a few pieces of chicken mixed in the rice and no additional portion such as a chicken thigh or breast which is usually included in chicken biriyani. Although the menu was limited, the staff member who took our order didn’t seem very familiar with the dishes available. When we left, no one spoke to us and handed over the invoice. We also forgot to ask. But then we had to write back to them multiple times to get an invoice for our stay. I feel the hotel should be more responsible for this for their documentation and to send off their guests properly. Overall, while the setting was lovely, we didn’t quite feel the special or memorable experience we’ve had at other similar resorts. This resort is a good option for families with children who’d enjoy the water park, but I hope the management takes note to improve the food variety and quality — it has great potential to offer a more well-rounded and satisfying experience

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious — every meal was a treat. A special thanks to Praveen for being so friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!

A beach resort, spotless and so welcoming. The restaurant was amazing and the staff exemplary. Special mention of thanks to Yass and Tharaka who encouraged us to try and enjoy their Sri Lankan dishes. |The spa treatment of massage topped off a wonderful stay.

I had a wonderful experience at Wattura SPA. The staff demonstrated a very professional approach from start to finish. My treatments, performed by Ivon, were incredibly relaxing — both the full-body therapy and the facial treatment. I truly felt taken care of, and the atmosphere made the entire visit exceptional. I highly recommend Wattura SPA for anyone looking for top-quality relaxation and service.

The most amazing location, food & service that can be expected. Rooms are so spacious with great views. Shout out to Tharaka & Kalpa for making our stay flawless.|Mr Sujeewa was the most fantastic GM i have seen in a hotel for awhile.|Thanks for a memorable stay.
