Jetwing Saman Villas, A Luxury Reserve - Adults Only

We stayed in 8 different hotels over our stay in Sri Lanka. Our 4 night stay at Jetwing Saman villas was by far the best. From the amazing room, the views of the Indian Ocean, the food and all the friendly staff we couldn't have asked for a more luxurious and restful 4 days at the end of our tour. All the staff were kind and efficient but our butler Rushan was by far the best of them all. He made sure all our needs were met and went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible stay, asking the chef to prepare foods not on the menu that we wanted and even brought chilli's from his own garden for us to try. A true gentleman and a credit to Jetwing

Saman Villas provided a truly serene escape, and our one night stay left us longing for more . It was one of our most relaxing experiences, and we eagerly look forward returning. Situated on a stunning beach that offered a unique sense of being in the middle of sea, Jetwing Saman Villas delivered both the privacy we sought and exceptional luxury from arrival to departure. While the accommodation and food were outstanding, the highlight was the exceptional hospitality. Special recognition goes to Kavindu, Thilani, and Sashika for their attentive care, though the entire staff was remarkably kind and considerate. We stayed in a deluxe suite with a pool which was so much fun. Each room has a designated butler whom you can call if you need anything but we didn’t not have to use this service since everything you need was there already. The minibar was free for use for the first instance and had a reasonable range of local alcohol and fizzy drinks. The bed was very comfortable and the room had automated blinds that ensures a good sleep. The food was delightful as well. They were made with a twist of Sri Lankan flavor and apparently most of the items are locally sourced . Hats off to chefs for creating such amazing dishes. We wanted to taste a bit of everything and the staff was so kind to accommodate. The framed photograph and sweet box presented at check-out were a lovely and memorable gesture. Thank you, Saman Villas team, for your wonderful hospitality.

Everywhere you turn in this hotel there are stunning views of the surrounding beach and sea. We were surprised to find we got our own butler for our stay. You are given a small mobile phone to contact them for anything at all you may need. Our Butler, Niroshan, was amazing and was always there to greet us when we went for breakfast and dinner. He even set up our floating breakfast in the pool which was beautiful! The villa was really spacious and had all the amenities you could want for your stay. We stayed in a few different locations in Sri Lanka and Jetwing was the only place where the air conditioning actually kept the room sufficiently cool in the heat and humidity! There is access to both beaches either side with security making us feel extra safe. The beaches were both amazing and very quiet, often only another couple or 2 to share them with. We were here for my birthday and they had decorated the bed and gave us a cake at dinner which was much appreciated!

We stayed at the Grand Deluxe Villa with the plunge pool and everything from the exterior, interior, comfort, hospitality service, and as well as the food was amazing. For any Sri Lankan and even for tourists, I think this hotel is a must visit one because it had amazing views, an amazing spa, and the overall service was amazing!

It was an unforgettable stay at the Jetwing Hotel! The very clean, spacious rooms are tastefully decorated. Mr. Baddewithana's attentiveness, friendliness, and professionalism made our stay a relaxing one. He was always available and left nothing to be desired! The spa and pool area leave nothing to be desired. I'll be back.

Actual rating 4.5 We visited this property in Jan 2023 and loved the experience, so we decided to visit again. This review is on the second visit. This boutique hotel is situated on a slightly rocky outcrop giving it a different vibe from a typical beach hotel and offering spectacular views. The rooms are more like villas, with an outside veranda, a living cum bed room and a spacious bathroom. My favorite part was the tub with the semi open roof. (But was not a fan of the small step separating each area as it was difficult to get used to on a short visit). They have a nice looking spa where we got a 15 minute complimentary foot massage and a lovely pool. There are two large stretches of clean public beaches on either side of the property. The dining area too is quite spacious. The dinner was a set menu. The appetizer and the soup was rather ordinary. The mains were pretty good though. But there was about a 30 minute gap between each course which was surprsing considering it was a set menu with 3-4 options. The real let down were the cocktails which were quite watery. The breakfast we had on our previous visit was one of the best we've had anywhere. There were only two choices, local or western but there was a whole series of dishes under each option and the flavors were spot on. This time, while the spread was still the same massive spread and the food was good, the flavors didn't come up to the high standards set last time. The staff were very young, very pleasant and very enthusiastic. But we missed the subtle professionalism of the more senior staff we met last time. All in all it was a rather pleasant and relaxing experience. We would have given it 5 stars if not for the very high bar set on our previous visit.
