A fantastic hotel right on the beach, with an fabulous infinitely pool. The service was amazing, and the food in the hotel was excellent. I enjoyed the massage in the spa so much that I had another one the next day. I will definitely return.

INCREDIBLE hotel! Pure Luxury! The staff were all friendly and could not do enough for you. The food is something else… Delicious! My room was overly spacious, clean, comfortable bed, with a balcony. The management, including the Food & Beverage Manager and the General Manager of the hotel, were friendly and came and spoke to guests, making you feel comfortable, special & safe…. you don’t get this everywhere! I used the gym, spa & hairdresser too. The staff went above and beyond and always had a smile on their face. The centre of Galle is a 10 minute taxi ride away. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country and I’ll definitely visit this hotel again next year. A BIG Thank You to all at Fortress Resort & Spa.

Perfect place to unwind and relax. The staff are so nice, everyone acknowledges you and will help with anything you need. The pool area is never too crowded and the view is amazing. They even have a small turtle nesting area and let the baby turtles out in the sea when they hatch. Only constructive feedback I would give the hotel is to up their food quality a bit and perhaps explain their guests about how breakfast works a bit better - we were so confused. Also, I had a message, which was nice - but the price of 18.500 LKR is obscenely expensive for what you actually get (there is not even a consultation before to meet expectations of the message, which I would expect for that much money) But overall, I would not hesitate in booking again!!

Stunning hotel & spa. Ended our tour of Sri Lanka with a stay at The Fortress to relax. What a great choice. From the moment of arrival to leaving the hospitality was 5 star plus. Our luxurious sea view suite with our personal butler Thejani was fabulous. Thejani was lovely, nothing was too much trouble & lit up our day with her smile. The staff in the hotel were a joy. Food was delicious & always served attentively. Would have loved to have stopped longer than the 5 days we stopped there.

This was our second visit, the first being 15 years ago when it was new. We were looking for a complete chill out and relaxing break after a very stressful year. We were not disappointed, it was perfect. We stayed in a beach room which gave us direct access to the beautiful gardens and breathtaking ocean. Our room was exceptionally clean, although certain parts were a little bit tired, but we had a first class service from both Namal and Lakmar, who made sure we had everything we needed and it was a delight to see the creative displays on a few occasions on our bed when we returned. We were so surprised to see Laksiri after so many years who was now the supervisor of pool boys, we were so looked after by both Laksiri and Upul, we always had our sun loungers, towels and umbrella prepared. We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 nights, we booked half board basis for first time, in hindsight I would not do that again as we prefer flexibility and a la carte, the set menu which comes with half board was ok, but for not a lot more the a la carte was far better. Next time we will book just bed and breakfast. The hotel is stunning visually and staff were so helpful and accommodating. I also enjoyed having a manicure and pedicure. We hope to be back again,

This Hotel is right on the beach and in very secure surroundings as it's name suggests. Welcome with cool flannel and drink was very nice. Rooms are amazing ,well appointed with amenities. Restaurant food is very delicious and the buffet on the Saturday night was amazing.We had 2 wonderful massages and I had a man's pedicure and manicure which was very good. Staff very friendly and a bonus was the release of baby turtles from the hatchery. Definitely recommend this hotel. Tharushi was very welcoming to the restaurant each night and Janaka ,Prasad and Iresha were great in the Spa
