Located on the top of a hill, surrounded by tropical forest, with a great view of the ocean. Ahangama beaches, restaurants, clubs are within 15 minutes drive. The hotel staff are very nice, helpful and available H24. The food was awesome, with many tasty local dishes, I enjoyed both the breakfast and dinner.

It was right in Fort Galle a nice quiet area, we chose it for its proximity to the cricket ground but it's close to everything including walking around ramparts. The room was small but it was clean and modern. The best bit is the breakfast, it was scrumptious and it just kept coming... We didn't have to eat again until later in the day. Fab hotel highly recommended. Staff were great.

Wow! I was able to spend 2 nights in the beautiful accommodation and can only recommend it with all my heart! The staff are very accommodating and warm with great attention to detail. The breakfast was incredible and there were great food and activity recommendations from the hosts that you could take advantage of. I also had a great Ayurveda treatment, which was the cherry on top of the stay - it was really great and I felt very comfortable at all times. You can tell that the hosts care a lot about the safety and well-being of their guests - a really great experience and a really great team. The location gave you great opportunities to see the wildlife around the accommodation and recharge your batteries - the perfect getaway spot.

Absolute 5-star experience at Amara Villas! Manager Duminda is a standout host - so welcoming and took care of everything we needed with a smile. The whole staff was fantastic, always going the extra mile to make our stay special. The food was incredible - we ended up eating at the hotel more than we planned because everything was so delicious! Our kids practically lived in the pool, and the beach is just a quick walk away. Such a perfect spot for families. Spacious, clean rooms and the most helpful team you could ask for. Big thanks to Duminda and crew for making our stay unforgettable!

The location was superb, we could walk across to the Neptune Bastion, and also to the streets filled with cafe's restaurants, and small boutiques. The staff and the chef were superb and quick to respond to our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful especially the Sri Lankan cuisine, which the chef explained in great detail. It was like staying in our own home, and a luxury to come home to, after a hot day out in the sun.

Everything about our four nights at Ginganga Lodge was exceptional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. The setting is beautiful and the attention to detail impressive. The staff are attentive without being in any way intrusive and the food, and the cocktails, were all delicious. We stayed in the Deluxe Suite which was just amazing. We took advantage of the tuktuk service into Galle and were always picked up promptly when we requested a return. We stayed in some superb places on our three week trip but this was the best.
