The breakfast buffet was very good and the quality of treatments at the spa did not disapoint.
However, we were disappointed with the general professionalism of the staff considering it is a 5 star resort. The staff was kind and friendly but just not up to the standard one would expect of a 5 star hotel. Here are a few examples: at the pool we ordered some food and when we were going to sign for the bill, the waiter said they had made a mistake and charged us for a dish that was 0.50 USD more than what we had ordered. He asked us if we didn't mind paying the extra amount so that they didn't need to redo the bill. Of course we didn't mind as its such a small difference (so we accepted) but out of principle, if a mistake is made by the staff, they should know to just fix the error rather than asking the guest to make up for their mistake (however small). We were also disappointed at dinner that the two a la carte restaurants were only open on alternate nights as it meant we couldn't get a table until 9 pm which is late with kids. Also the first wines we tried to order were out of stock. Finally on the second night at the Italian, three of the dishes we chose were unavailable. This is understandable as it is end of season, but again is not expected at a 5 star hotel. That said, the quality of the food at the Italian was really very good.
As for the rooms, although comfortable, the extra maintenance effort is lacking. The hot and cold water in the shower was very difficult to control; the light in the small magnifying mirror in the bathroom was not working and the main telephone in the room did not work.
Lastly, we visited the spa and although the overall experience was very good and the therapists were experienced, it was disappointing to have to wait over half an hour (after our scheduled appointment time) for our treatments.
Overall, this felt more of a 3-4 star hotel than 5 star.

The hotel itself probably needs an uplift e.g. pool deck is old, pool lounge chairs are broken, walls need a new coat of paint, however we enjoyed our stay as the pool and hotel surroundings are quite nice. Food at the restaurant was surprisingly good. Room was large and air cond worked well, beds are big. Bathroom needs updating but shower was strong and good temperature. Overall, a good hotel but don’t expect 5 stars.

A short distance from Colombo, Katutura is ideal for a long weekend if you are based in Colombo. There are plenty of things to see in the area and you can always arrange a visit to Galle through your hotel.

Just the right location.
Just the right location. Not too far from Colombo but has the nice secluded feel, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Close to a lot of places to visit - Kalutara temple, Bentota for water sports, Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery.
Overall, a great place to be in!!

The area is quite, and not far from water sports activities. The problem is that there are no decent restaurants or coffees near by. You are opted to only eat at the hotel, unless you are adventurous. You are better off to go a bit more south or north and close to the capital to find reasonable restaurants and coffees etc. If you like to each and just stay within the resort then you will be OK as hotels in the area offer everything you need.

Kalutara is a great place for a short stay.
Kalutara is a great place for a short stay. While it is not as crowded with tourists and activities when compared with her neighbouring districts Colombo and Galle, it is quite special in it's own simplicity. The sights generally known to see are few and are quite close too each other. A day to sightsee and enjoy the city, a day to enjoy the hotel and it's facilities and a day for the beach and surrounding neighbourhood is in my opinion the ideal way to plan a trip to Kalutara.
The best place you must visit in my opinion is Jeoffrey Bava's garden. The place is great to walk around, take some beautiful photos and run around a little.
Hotel on the beach . Room spacy. Dinner -as you wish. On weekends life music. Before visit to Sri Lanka , I find out a lot off information in chats about visiting places . But decided to book everything when arrived to Hotel. And I do not make a mistake. Hotel owner everything offered and prices the same . So I have seen a lot of more than decided to see. City Kandy, elephants , turtles , tea manufacture, fishing in deep sea , temples ,folk dances. And everything with guide . Really it was one off the best places for holiday. BR Ovidijus
The hotel is very well managed and the staff are so friendly and helpful. They really made our stay more enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and well maintained (I'd recommend staying at the updated beach-facing rooms), the pool is large and with plenty of sunbeds. Good food options and diversity. The hotel also put on a nice cultural evening with Sri Lankan dancers and artists. Loved our stay and would recommend for a relaxing break.
The area is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. You can hear the waves crashing in the background. The bathrooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and best part is the kind, helpful and caring staff. The owner had breakfast ready every morning and dinner at anytime you requested. Also spoke to my taxi driver for me to give directions which I would not have been able to do on my own. Thanks so much for all your hospitality:)
It is rather small hotel 20-22 villas, situated in a beautiful green garden with a nice pool and access to a large and long beach. We stayed in a single unit villa. The highlights of the villa are the large bathroom with open air part and the large and comfortable bed.
The restaurant of the hotel is a highlight too - very good food choices and quality (morning and evening buffet), as well as the service.
Excellent location for a short weekend gateway with family. My little on loved the swimming pool , play area and large gardens. All the staff members were really helpful and served with a smile which is rarity these days. Lovely breakfast buffet with so many options. Big thank you to all at Tangerine. We will definetley recommend this hotel for a family gateway.
Swimming pool is fabulous.
We went to the spa which is in the next door hotel - this was fine
We walked in the local area which was nice.
There are a few local restaurants nearby where we had some great fish at a great price.
There are a few local shops and a good supermarket Keels, around 15 minutes walk away.
Hotel is right next to beach with nice view from balcony. To food store or restaurants its not far (10 minutes walk). Rooms are nice and comfortable. Pool is also nice, with good deep for kids. Staff was always ready to help us with any possible wish or question. I fully recomend to stay here...
The staff and the food is what make this hotel exceptional! We had an amazing stay, SPECIAL thanks to Abirami who profesionally managed all our requests! She is a true pro and a great person! Also huge thanks goes go Nilan, Dimika, Rumesh, Nishanka, Malaka and Nishan! They all were exceptional!
Breakfast was very good. The rooms were very big. Thanks to Villas manager Krish , that did his best to make our stay unforgettable in this hotel. The pool area Aqualina and manager Sampath are very good at their job too. Housekeeping service is also very good. Thanks for everything.
Great for swimming a little bit down the beach there is a wave break. The owner literally did everything he could to make our stay comfortable, including sending out a staff member 20km to get my daughter some sweet potato (she's special needs)
Has 2 separate pools. Large one is mostly for kids and thats awesome.
Dinner and lunch buffet are great. Favourite ones are scrambled egg, omlett, crab curry and deviled beef curry.
Rooms are comfortable and clean.
this hotel is situated on a rubber estate and also on the main road ( Kalutara Matugama Highway road ).I went from Kotttawa it took 20 minutes to the hotel full trip. This Hotel is a good place for couples.
Big spread for breakfast catering to every taste, though a little variation each day would have been nice. The staff were very pleasant gentle and helpful, the hotel is well-designed for the price.
The staff were very nice, the food was great, the place wad peaceful and was a great last destination before going to airport, it is a beach but still close to the airport!
We're disappointed with the hotel as we booked a balcony with a sea view but were given a garden view instead. Despite requesting a change, our concerns have been ignored.
