Great place to stay. Staff were very good and helpful. The breakfast was good. Room size was spacious and it was great to have a choice of AC or calling fan. Great to having a working smart TB too. Choice of minibar options was perfect and at reasonable cost. Pool area was clean and well maintained. Would stay here again.

Maso Maso (Maso)The room is very spacious, in fact one could say too spacious, where you look at the size of the bathroom. It is a shame that some thought was not put into making the bedroom dining area smaller and the bathroom/toilet larger. Some of the plugs for items such as the kettle and bedside lamp were two pin plugs and could not be plugged in. Asked an employee and he provided one adapter to at least plug the kettle in. The place is advertised as an apartment and the facilities support this. There is a sink, two pan electric hot top, fridge, sandwich maker, kettle and a dining table. The AC worked well, the bed was very comfortable and good quality linen and towels were provided. There was a wall mounted TV and an attempt to watch Netflix was made, but it was in Chinese and couldn't work out if it could be changed to English. The Wi Fi was reliable and fast enough not to be an issue. During the night there was a power outage and had to leave the apartment to speak with the onsite employee, to reset the tripped electrical switches. There is a supermarket within a 15 to 20 minute walk away, however being located on a main road, there are plenty of Tuk Tuks that could make it quicker. There is a nearby restaurant that is a separate business and provides plenty of food options, it is on the opposite side and diagonal to the apartment. On the same side as the apartment and a 5min walk, is a business called Barista, where you can get a decent coffee and breakfast. This place was chosen primarily because it was close to the airport and cost approx 800 rupee to get there. All in all would stay again and if the management read this, then the plug situation needs to be sorted, along with the Netflix issue. Lastly I would recommend that perhaps a small hand brush and dust pan were provided.

I stayed here for one night while in transit and had a very comfortable stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and it was a good place to get some much-needed rest.
I woke up after dinner time, but the chef was kind enough to still take my order even though the kitchen had already closed. They made an amazing pasta, which I really enjoyed and appreciated.
There are a few things that could be improved. The shower was quite loud, and I think the toiletries could be better or replaced. The telephone in the room also wasn’t working properly, which made it a little difficult to get in touch with the front desk when needed.
Getting to the hotel was also a bit of a hassle with Uber, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Overall, though, I had a great stay. The room was comfortable, the hospitality was good, and the chef going out of their way to prepare food after the kitchen had closed was especially appreciated

Arvin NadarajahOverall, a very good hotel and I’ve been a regular guest here for a while. Although the property is starting to show its age, the pool bar drinks could be much better, and there’s no dinner buffet on weekdays, the rooms are still fairly up-to-date with well-thought-out bathrooms. It's a bit pricey, but still a solid stay.

The hotel actually good, but yes the staff. When I came I don’t think they change the bed linen so much dust there and I’m getting flu. And one day it was room cleaning . I was sleeping in the morning and I heard somebody open the door I’m not sure what kind of accident ) but hear somehow somebody open the door to check the room. For it’s so impolite to open guest room without permission even though u were knocking. (If it’s real)
The restaurant staff are very helpful the man who working there only , but they didn’t pour me water also when I was dining, yes but I’m not expecting to get 5 star service in this hotel so well for me. If they can maintain cleanliness from the hotel the price really worth it as the hotel nearby airport. But good they offer wet towel and welcome drinks. The public area staff probably so polite. The airport driver were so polite I impressed when he said good morning maam, even I see he feel so sleepy.

This was my third stay at the Goldi Sands, honestly, the last time was nearly 20 years ago but I had such a great time back then I had high expectations. In the intervening 20 years, the hotel has had a revamp, double the size, double the number of swimming pools, added an elevator and they've removed the beach-fronted bungalows. All of which I think was a smart move and well worth doing. What has changed is the service and the catering. The staff are of course all very polite just that they didn't go the extra mile like they used to. We arrived late as our flight had been delayed, all I wanted was a couple of bottles of beer, they did arrive but I almost had to beg. I booked a taxi to the airport with the front desk, but they forgot, the waitresses at dinner were all about the hard upsell rather than serving. The breakfast as far as my memory serves me used to be awesome, today's breakfast is the same every day and lacks imagination, is poorly presented, and includes the worst coffee ever. The hotel has a confusing number of tariffs from all-inclusive to room only which means if you want to buy a drink it takes forever as they have to check your ”status” and then if you pay cash they have to go to the cashier as they carry no float. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable but basic. All in all it is still a good hotel to choose but sadly it is no longer in the memorable category.

It was less than 10 minutes from the airport and I arrived at the hotel around 1:00am.
The staff was very kind even though I arrived in the middle of the night.
It was a very short stay, but the price was reasonable and large, and the room and bathroom were very beautiful.
I am satisfied. I want to use it again.

A great very well priced hotel to stay after arriving in Sri Lanka before our tour starts. The manager was extremely helpful and nothing is too much.
The breakfast was also excellent.
A very good priced hotel to start your Sri Lankan holiday - highly recommend

I stayed in this hotel for a week. It’s only been open for 5 months and at first appearance it looks good, but taking a closer look it’s still being built and repaired. There are still cables jutting out of the wall and ceiling. Although the kitchen is featured in the photos of the room, it has no tap, the cupboards are sealed. I raised some of my concerns when I arrived with the general manager when he asked me questions about my stay and he seemed blasé about addressing it. Based on what was paid, this hotel is overpriced. There are still cement stairways and drilling taking place during the day. The WiFi is awful, they finally installed a router in my room which took the week to do and it only worked on the day of my departure. The best part of the hotel is some staff members who will go out of their way to help, special mention to Jazz. They have a great pool on the roof. Until it’s fully built I wouldn’t recommend staying here!
