From the moment you step into cape welligama to the moment you leave, you are being looked after by the staff with such immense care and attention to detail. The responsiveness and personalisation is excellent, and a level of service I have not encountered in any hotel before. The resort is well set up for young families, and our room had easy access to what felt like a very private swimming pool. The swimming pools are set to have great views, and we had monkeys and peacocks come to say hello. The food was delicious and dinner menu changed every night. The chef came to ask for feedback regularly and even made a custom dish on request. The rooms feel large and open, yet are warm and cosy, with great modern facilities. The property benefits from being fairly new, versus other more grand yet tired hotels we stayed in our trip in Srilanka. Overall a beautifully maintained, scenic hotel with great facilities for children and an amazing service.

Amazing resort. Our villa was enormous and shared a pool with two others. Main swimming pool was spectacular. Restaurant served excellent (though pricy) food and the service everywhere was exemplary. Difficult to go back to regular hotels now.
