10/10 Excellent
"Everything about this hotel was amazing! The staff, the cleanliness and the amenities. "
Radisson Collection Resort, Galle
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel and as always im Sri Lanka, great staff. Amazing location and views. Points to note. Dont pay for the higher floor option. Its not taken seriously by the hotel. We were put in the 2nd floor and told anything above ground was considered the higher floor collection. Cheeky.
You cant swim in the sea from the hotel. Its all foilage and coral.
Thats all said its right on the sea and is an incredible spot to spend time. "
