The hotel has undergone extensive external building works and general redecoration is in progress. When all is finished it should look good as there are some parts of the hotel that still look very "tired".

I would describe the hotel as basic but clean. The rooms are quite small but have a lovely... more

My husband and I, along with another couple, took a five day trip to Sri Lanka. We landed at the airport quite late the first night, but the driver from Goldi Sands was right where he said he would be to meet us. The drive to the hotel was longer than we had anticipated; it took about an hour to... more
