    The food was fresh and the location was magnificent. It took me 5 mins to get to the bus station. Appreciated the classic-style building and luxury room with balcony. A jacuzzi bathtub and a separate shower were available there.

    Great pool. Nice place for vacation in Koggala. The hotel was situated in front of the Koggala bus stop, just 10 minutes walking distance.

    We got great value for our money at The Fortress Resort & Spa. The room was incredibly luxurious, with a heavenly bed and a breathtaking ocean view from our balcony. The staff treated us like royalty, especially Thejani and Samantha in the restaurant, and Chamindi and the reception team. They were always welcoming and helpful, making our stay extra special.

    The breakfast items could have been more varied to cater to different preferences.

    We stayed at The Fortress Resort & Spa for a few nights during our trip to Sri Lanka. The food, both Sri Lankan and international, was top-notch with a wide selection. The breakfast was especially excellent. The hotel's location offered beautiful beaches where we were lucky enough to see sea turtles every day. The opulent feel of the hotel added to our overall experience. The staff, including driver Subash and the women at the main desk, were incredibly friendly and helpful. From the moment we were picked up from the airport to the end of our holiday, the service was exceptional. The hotel's facilities and setting were also impressive. They made arranging day trips and travel effortless and always with a smile. Leaving behind the winter weather for the warmth of this hotel fully recharged our batteries. Lastly, the personal attendant provided during our stay in the private pool villa made it even more enjoyable, and the massage was out of this world.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough!

    Everything was excellent, had a really nice stay with two wonderful nights at The Fortress. The location was amazing, close enough to the restaurant, fortress, and long sandy beach.

    This place is the perfect way to conclude a vacation with its breathtaking views of the beach and sea from a fabulous room in a stunning location on the south west coast, right near the buffet and restaurant.

    Everything! Rooms, pool and garden, beach, views, restaurant, room service, staff... everything was perfect. . As an extra there was a sea turtle that laid its eggs on the beach below the hotel one evening.

    The breakfast was absolutely fantastic, with a lot of food to enjoy. The location is stunning along the south coast.- Walking through the enormous wooden fortress gates to Galle and its many restaurants was wonderful.- This hotel met every demand in every way. I do recommend it.

    We liked this hotel, it was romantic and fairly clean. Well furnished room with all amneties, the staff was excellent. The venue had a magnificent location minutes away from Koggala Lefts. There was a nice restaurant, a small store and shops next door. The whole experience was very nice, no reason to complain, recommend.

    The birds are not pleasant to have around the dining and pool. You need to lay some poison bait as they will nest in large groups
