Hotel was excellent. Spacious rooms, excellent amenities, great dining options - but what really made the difference in our stay was Yasara, a guest experience specialist, who was incredible.

The staff were lovely and very helpful. We loved the morning yoga sessions and selection of food in the buffet. However, there is a shortage of sun loungers and a lot of loud music around the pool and beach making it an unrelating experience.

A fantastic and luxurious property, that felt like a home away from home for the three nights that we stayed. Staff were so helpful and welcoming and would go out of the way to help us in any way possible. The room was incredible and so comfortable and the beach was stunning.

Disappointed
It was a large American hotel which seemed out of place in a Sri Lankan location. I didn’t enjoy it. Too American and not enough local feel. The service tried too hard and was intrusive.

Awesome property! It’s pricey but it’s Marriott, and you get what you pay for. I often stay at Marriott properties and this was one of the best ones I’ve been to. The staff was great, the whole hotel was extremely clean and stylish. Our room (King balcony ocean view) was spacious, and our bathroom felt luxurious. This was one of our last nights of our Sri Lanka trip and it was the perfect hotel to end on! Relaxing in luxury before heading home.

Outstanding overall, better than expected!
I was very pleasantly surprised at how much better this hotel was than I had expected, and I had high expectations! Rooms are even better than in the photos on this site. Much more to do and a bigger hotel than the impression given online. Fabulous reception area and mezzanine. Great pools and pool-side restaurant. The dinner buffet was well worth paying for, really stunning array of tasty and diverse foods, all so fresh. Room and bed so comfortable with a great bath in standard room and all newly furnished. Would definitely book again. Maybe too many small plastic water bottles. Could consider glass like other hotels now. But nice to get free water supply. Only issue was not hotel's fault, but beach water was very dirty and not really nice for swimming and also there is little to do within walking distance, no nice beach-side cafes etc. A bit in the middle of nowhere, but nice to wander amongst fishing boats on beach.

Marriot Weligama - not great
The entire hotel had no diet drinks, so no Diet Coke or Pepsi. On departure, after spending over £2000 at the hotel we found out that we had given our last change (cash money) as tips to our waiters, however the Uber to the airport (which no human should ever get as they try to extort you half way through the journey by pretending they have “cancelled” the trip, or the app has “failed”, but this is all a big scam to give them money. Myself and my partner were traumatised by this and had to call the police as the Uber driver was very aggressive and pulled us over at a random location on the way to the airport and demanded money. The hotel staff were absolutely useless once we had officially checked out, but did eventually (after hours of discussion) give us “500 Sri Lankan rupees (about £1.30) in case of an “emergency”. I can’t imagine what emergency would be sorted by £1, but hey these people are experts at extortion. The same scam happened on the journey from Colombo to the hotel, so please never ever, get an Uber in Sri Lanka- they always will try and scam you and intimidate you. I genuinely can’t imagine how bad the journeys would have been if my partner was alone, or with a child.

What I liked most is the availability of multiple restaurants serving different cuisines, so one would be able to choose from a variety of dishes. I also liked the proximity of the hotel next to many shops selling all what you may need. I didn’t like the sea, as it was very difficult to swim will all the surfers around.

Outstanding resort, unrivaled customer service
We had a fantastic stay at the Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa. It was hands down the most fabulous hotel we have ever stayed in. Everywhere was very clean and finished to an excellent standard. The highlight were the staff - they were just so friendly and helpful. At breakfast all staff members were so pleasant, and even remembered our coffee orders! (Thank you Pamuditha and Udara!). The food was of an exceptionally high standard. I would definitely recommend trying Fish Restaurant, where we sampled very fresh lobster and other fish, helped by excellent staff such as Dilshan and Chef Saman. We stayed here at the beginning of the Corona virus lockdown, and here we felt safe - everyone's temperature was checked before entering the resort and the resort was protected by police. I would highly recommend a stay here - hopefully I will return in the future!
