Tamarind Tree Garden Resort - Katunayake

Lovely spacious rooms

Nothing we didn’t like

Really relaxing, excellent location. We were accepted at 5am after a delayed flight. We were also given late check out and had all our transportation arranged

Nothing!

The breakfast is okay, but just okay. Limited choices. No bacon available - in fact, no pork items on the menu, the fried eggs were carelessly prepared, far too runny. The grounds are spacious - large, quiet with mature trees and birdlife. If we were staying for a couple of days we would have been able to enjoy it. But because the location is close to the airport we used the hotel for only one night and I suspect this may be the case for many of their clients.

When we arrived, we were shown to the room and all the lights and AC were only at that time switched on. The AC in the bedroom was blowing warm air but it took the staff some time to acknowledge this. The exterior light was not working. We had to go back to Reception to arrange to move to another room, which had to made ready. Overall it took one hour before we could relax. The lighting in the Reception area is insufficient. I was asked to pay immediately on arrival, which was quite difficult with such poor visibility.

Very convenient location for the airport.

Property is a bit dated, rooms are tired. Buffet dinner was ok, didn’t serve à la carte because they were too busy. Hounded by staff who were really just interested in us giving a 10/10 score on booking.com
