Over priced rundown hotel
We booked this hotel for our last night in Sri Lanka and it was by far the most rundown hotel we have stayed in. We booked the most expensive ($260 per night) room that they offered “ beach villa”. The room was in poor condition and looked nothing like a villa. Tv didn’t work and bed sheets were old and room was not clean. Ac blows directly on the bed so you can choose to either be freezing or be super hot. The hotel is on the beach but far from easy access to anything near by. Dinning options are at the buffet only and it’s like a 2 star restaurant. The buffet is $15 per person, kinda high for the quality of food and giving the fact you are in Sri Lanka. This hotel would be ok for $40 per night for someone that is on budget. $260 per night in Sri Lanka gets you by far nicer accommodation.

Overall good. They have a lot to learn regarding food selection compared to other all inclusive holidays we have taken especially Turkey. We booked B&B but were informed that we should take all inclusive as it represented good value. We don’t agree £70 each per day wasn’t good value at all unless you wanted to snuff yourself or get outrageously drunk!

Very nice
+ Very nice resort. Wonderful huge pool and great pool area on the lawn. Beautiful beach too - and swimmable :). Animation team active. Nice main restaurant, lots of food choices. And tasty. Live music at times nice touch. Close to the airport, very good choice for a first or last stop in Sri Lanka. - Very large resort, not for those who prefer more privacy. Sometimes loud too. They take day guests (probably there for a meeting or something), so that at one point there were no more sun umbrellas left for us - which should not happen. A bit complicated to get around. Could have more of a local touch.

Very nice hotel with character by the beach.
The staff are very helping and friendly. Always willing to help with any problems you may have. The hotel is not a modern type of hotel, but has lots of character. The two swimming pools are a bonus. The first is a large long stretched out pool with plenty of space for everyone. The other is a large quiet pool for those who want to swim or spend time in the pool with less noise. The eating areas are large and spacious. My only negative point is if you are a vegetarian. Then on some days the choice can be limited. But if you ask the head chef. They will try to make food to satisfy your vegetarian lifestyle the next time you eat. The beach can be littered with some rubbish bought in on the tide from the nearby towns. But the staff do clean it monthly. In August the tide can be a little strong.

Very large resort, very good food
My wife and I stayed here earlier this month and - although we were only there for a night prior to flying back to Australia - we had a good time. The resort itself is really large and the staff are super friendly. The buffet food is excellent both in variety and taste. They offer an all-inclusive upgrade package for $30 US per person/per night - as at July 2018 - so if you're going to be here for a few days it would be well worth it to take this option, especially if you like a drink or 2...

Fabulous hotel and great location.
Fantastic location, beautiful beach, the sea is a bit rough, but there were people swimming in the sea although the red flags were flying everyday we were there. The staff are really friendly, great fun and very helpful. Both pool areas are very clean, food and drinks appear to be available at any time of day or night, although we were originally on a B&B basis, we went for the all inclusive on arrival and were not disappointed with what was on offer. Our room was a superior one with sea view, big room, the A/C and ceiling fan was great, our room could have done with a little refresh on some of the paintwork, but generally nice. We had a fabulous ten nights at the Dolphin and would definitely recommend this hotel.

Relaxing family holiday
My husband and I took our 1 year old for our first holiday. We stayed in a pool access room which was exactly that with the bonus of bring close to the beach. Pool area and bar was perfect. Lots of different depth areas so my daughter could enjoy the pool, walking and sitting in the water. Food was good. Buffet varied day to day and had a good selection. Very accommodating of chn and will cook what they need. Allowed late checkout as our daughter was sleeping and didn't remove all inclusive band so we could eat lunch after check out. Kids club was great, esp the indoor playroom. Staff there were very friendly and let us use the room after checking out over their lunch break. Overall we would recommend this hotel 😊

Nice hotel, close to the beach.
Had a lovely four day stay at this hotel. It was a bit secluded from anywhere around it. Very clean, and staff very polite. We were Bed and Breakfast, so ate in the hotel for our evening meals, as no where else nearby. Food was good, but there was not really many plain dishes if you didn't like curries and other more exotic dishes. Therefore, would not recommend it for children. Entertainment very quiet at nights, singer on keyboard, animation sow three nights a week ( not all that) and a disco that no one attended! Pool side was nice, no problem getting beds. Overall had a good stay, but a little quieter than I expected.

Nice hotel but staff could have been better
We stayed at the hotel for one night only. The check in was nice and we were welcomed and given a welcome drink. Our room was clean and in good condition and nicely located right beside the pool with a nice outdoor seating area. We ate lunch and dinner at the hotel and the food was nice. The service was good. The following day we spoke to the reception about arranging a taxi for us to get to the airport that evening, we were told to leave it with them and they would organise this for us. When we went to check this was all in place about 30mins before we wanted to depart we were told this hadn't been done and there were no taxis - no solution offered just no taxis. We explained that we HAD to get there and could we perhaps get a tuk tuk. They agreed however couldn't seem to care less about helping us with our departure. The hotels focus seems to be on the guests staying for longer periods of time (and all inclusive) with less care and attention given to those staying only a day or two and only bed and breakfast. Whilst it is a nice hotel - given the price I would hav expected better Custer service and therefore probably wouldn't stay here again.

A "nice" place
My sister chose the hotel and I met her and her family there with my partner. It's an all inclusive resort that caters almost entirely to a European (mostly British and German) clientele. I only booked room and breakfast, which was slightly annoying. It would help if the various options were made more explicit when booking with hotels.com. The hotel is nice but not quite stunning; for the price, I expected more stunning. The beach is lovely and the pools all nice, the staff were great. Overall, though, I think Sri Lanka has better options in the price range. We took a tour to Kandy to see the elephants and ride on an elephant. We also saw a pineapple garden, tea factory, spice garden and temple... It was a long day, personally I could have lived without the tea and temple. Also, every place you go involves you digging into your pocket for tip money, and fairly pressured efforts for you to buy stuff you don't really want. That got tedious. Not the hotel's fault at all, just a warning for those considering the obligatory trip to Kandy. You might want to explore doing the trip independently, and, whatever you do, take lots of small bills. Single US dollar bills work well (but you will be asked for more!).
