Somawathie Chaitiya Sanctuary hotel guide. Jetwing Hotels hotel in Somawathie Chaitiya Sanctuary, Sri Lanka

From the time of arrival till departure we had nothing but a great experience. Friendly staff and excellent food with great choice. The chefs were happy to provide what we asked for and waiters served with a smile. Were sad to leave.

Had a brilliant two nights and three days at this hotel. The staff were super helpful and friendly. The level of service was superb and the best I have encountered in Sri Lanka and almost anywhere. Nothing was too much trouble and they noticed what you needed. The room was gorgeous. Spacious and comfortable and the food excellent. The fish was particularly good. Activities organised late afternoon - volley ball, football and cricket - helped people get to know each other. Especially the...

Great place. Stayed here for three nights in total. Food is really good with wide selection to suit all diets and tastes. Right on the beach and huge vanishing pool surround by lounges and the villas it's not overcrowded or on top of each other.

The staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating. My dad has Dementia and the staff made sure both he and my mum were well looked after and attended to. The beach and pool were both clean and not crowded. The food was good - particularly the local Sri Lankan dishes. And the drinks were good.

Very helpful and kind staff with beautiful surroundings

I travel a lot, and this hidden gem is just perfect.

Very friendly staff, large room and bathroom. Breakfast was lovely!

Wonderful experience, friendly staff lovely hotel right next to the Indian Ocean.

It's has got beautiful garden, ideal for relaxing, nice swimming pool, very polite staff and they made any dish as per our choices without any fuss.

This property has all it takes to be a beach paradise and doesn't cost a fortune (thus you should forgive some minor faults). All the rooms have a sea view, the pool is almost straight out on the beach, and the beach itself is spectacular. It also doesn't feel like a chain resort, which in my opinion is a big plus. Only two hotels on this side of peninsula mean that for most of the time you're completely on your own on the sand. And you can walk for miles without meeting anyone! However, when...

Good hotel by a lovely beach. Lots of nice restaurants in the vicinity. Staff were all very friendly and helpful

We loved our stay here, it was a luxurious four days. The rooms with a sea view are the best. The only thing that needs improving is areas around the pool or beach with shade. There were umbrellas at the beach, but most were broken.

Very good friendly staff and they were very supportive. Newly built room and bathroom are very clean. Beutifull paddy field are surrounded. Very good breakfast and dinner.

The standout from this place was the pool. Easily the best to date in Lanka. It runs directly East to West so has the sun permanently on it, making it lovely and warm. It also appears in very good nick so I would guess is relatively new. The room was pleasantly adequate with no complaints. The odd thing was there was no reception as such so to find someone, I discovered ‘hollering’ ended up being the best way. Location is definitely Marmite with peace, quite and seclusion giving it a glowing...
