The hotel provided a wonderful start to our Sri Lanka holiday, with an inviting ambiance and a great location right by the beach. The staff made us feel welcome and genuinely cared for our needs. While the dining options were diverse, some aspects could use improvement, especially the theme nights not quite reflecting their culinary inspirations, but overall, the experience was delightful. The cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations added to our enjoyable stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While I loved the clean and nicely maintained rooms with a lovely balcony, the service was quite below my expectations, lacking warmth and friendliness. The pool area was great for relaxation, but the dining options were not appealing, particularly the Italian night. Overall, it's a decent place, but it hasn't fully lived up to its potential.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which boasts an excellent beachfront position, making it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The staff were incredibly professional and accommodating, making me feel welcomed throughout my visit. While the dining experience was good, I found that the breakfast options were somewhat limited, but the food quality was impressive overall. The room was spacious and comfortable, but I did find the mattress a bit hard. Overall, a great value for money experience.

I had an incredible experience at Goldi Sands, especially during my mandatory quarantine. The suite I stayed in offered stunning views of the Indian Ocean and the pool, making my work-from-home setup feel luxurious. The staff were fantastic, prioritizing health and safety while providing excellent service. However, my friends' experience was quite different due to a room issue, showing that consistency may need some work. Overall, it's a place that offers great amenities and delicious food, but I hope future guests enjoy the same positive experience I had.

The hotel offers good value with its beautiful setting and clean facilities, making it a decent choice if you're physically able. However, the accommodations catered less effectively to those with disabilities, and I had some challenges with the room amenities. Overall, the dining experiences were enjoyable, but the service could use improvement.

Rooms

I stayed in a promo room that was okay, but it lacked sufficient back support in the furniture, and the bed was quite hard. It was clean and maintained, but not ideal for those needing special accommodations.

Service seemed to falter at times, especially when I had to wait for a chair and when requesting items at the buffet. While some staff were cordial, a more accommodating attitude would enhance the experience.
