  • 3/5 Prasanga P. 11 months ago on Google
    One of the most popular hotel in the Laya hotel network. The overall experience was good.But there are some issues that hotel management has to look after. Especially the common changing room near the swimming pool is not up to standard at all. I asked one of the hotel staff to clean it, but I saw that they were not interested in that matter. Also, you can't keep your belongings in that room. No fan; very dirty washroom. So it is better to book one personal room when you are planning a day out or something. The buffet and evening tea were superb. Many dishes and desserts were available, and the food was also tasty. You can get to the nearest beach, but that area's sea is rough, and you want to be able to take a bath. The overall experience was good.

    (Translated by Google) Great place to relax. The army is under control. A whole bunch of training sessions were held here (Original) සුවපහසු හොද තැනක්. යුද හමුදාව මගින් පාළනය වෙනවා. පුහුණු වැඩ මුළු කීපයක්ම මෙහි පැවැත්වූවා

    I recently went on a day out with a group of 20 adults, and unfortunately, our experience was quite disappointing. We were only provided with one changing room, which was in extremely poor condition. The room had a foul smell, and the only source of ventilation was a ceiling fan. To make matters worse, the fan controller had been removed, so we couldn't adjust the speed, which was stuck at level 2. The bathroom attached to the changing room was also in a disgusting state. When we asked if we could pay extra to get another room, we were informed that even if we opted for an additional room, only a maximum of three people would be allowed to access it. This restriction left us with no viable solution. The lifeguard present during our visit was not attentive to their duties. They spent the entire time engrossed in a phone call and even yelled at us unnecessarily for minor incidents, such as spilling water on the swimming pool deck. Although the food provided was passable, some members of our group discovered hair strands in their meals. Additionally, when we requested refills for certain dishes, it took the staff almost 30 minutes to fulfill our request, despite assuring us that it would be done within 5 minutes. Overall, the customer service we encountered was extremely poor and unhelpful. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

    Im sorry to say but i am dissapointed about the experience at this hotel. Beach biew is blocked by thr fence which is too high. You can take use of the beach view in a better manner. You have dedicated a huge amount of land but you have not used it properly. Its hard during the day to stay outside, so maybe you can plant some trees. Pool area must be cleaned. Loby crrated the first impression which is poor. Staff can be dressed in a better manner which affects the overall impression. Surrounding is not beautiful except beach. Overall the hospitality experinece is poor. But if some effort is taken tjings can improve. Good luck

    The day-out rooms were musty and moldy and smelled awful. Pool water was also not clear. The room did not have any towels or toiletries. They charged 500 rupees for a towel, that too of questionable hygiene. Take your own towels and toiletries and you'd be ok. Food was good but the room quality really let it down. The beach was wonderful though. It's the highlight of the hotel.

  • 1/5 Madushan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very poor service. We ordered food but only part received and had to call and ask for the rest and was waiting. Didnot get the welcome drink also. No generator during power cut. They didnot inform it when we check in. We paid full amount but had to suffer for 2 hrs without power. Not worth for the money paid.

  • 5/5 Heshan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Worthy for the price. Location and room facilities are acceptable. Food is delicious, yet not that much veggie options. If you are a vegetarian, you will have to be satisfied with 2-3 curries. Avoid weekends, as might get too crowded and noisy. Also this is a known place for get-togethers and days outs. Overall, I am totally satisfied.

  • 3/5 Dhanushka M. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic place with a nice beach. But the service is poor. Room conditions are also not good. Not worst but not good as well. Quality of food changes meal to meal. Sometimes good and sometimes worst. Service of the buffet is not good. Staff is kind and friendly, but they dont give proper service. This location is good for office parties and get together event as this has a large ground. Water quality of the pool is not good. Beach is fantastic and you can walk through sea for about 300 meters from beach. Not riskey. They havent had any first aid when a little girl fell and had some heavy bleeding wounds. Not a bad place. But this is managed by SL army. You can make the things correct

  • 4/5 Praween M. 11 months ago on Google
    I went here for a two day workshop including one night stay on 2023/06/27, 28. The service of staff, food, pool facility, large ground ideal for cricket were one of the excellent items we experienced. However the rooms can be cleaned more properly. On 27 night in Triple room three of us slept on three separate beds. Actually it was a double room and converted into triple room by adding an extra bed. Around one o clock midnight we found a CENTIPEDE (large one) in our room. Luckily non of us bitten by the insect. Once we informed the hotel, they immediately removed the Centipede. If the rooms are cleaned well and if the more attention can be given when moving in or moving out any furniture to the room, this type of unpleasant experiences can be eliminated.

    We visited this hotel for a day package. It has a good pool and a spacious ground for playing cricket. You can also access the beach. The day package included a welcome drink, lunch buffet, evening tea, and cake. A room is provided if the headcount exceeds a particular number. However, the rooms provided for the day package are very poor and have a strong old smell. The dishes we ordered were good, but the lunch buffet was quite average. The buffet area is relatively small, and we had to wait for another group to leave before entering. The hotel has ample parking space, and you can request them for cricket equipment, such as bats and stumps.

    We selected Laya beach for our annual get together and arranged FB 10 rooms for the group. Reservation manager Mr Akram was so helpful. Rooms were clean. Buffet was great (despite limited options for vegetarians). Most importantly this has a large play ground where we could play cricket. It is one of very few beach hotels in SL which has a play ground. Prices are reasonable.

    Worth the price. Just for Rs. 3500 welcome drink, lunch, evening tea with a piece of cake along with unlimited pool access. The service was good. Food of course not a large variety but simple and awesome.

    One of the coolest places I had dinner with my friends. Service is excellent and I love the food selection to order. I enjoyed the seafood menu a lot. They have a calipso band which played nice songs while having dinner. Affordable prices too and love the beach view as well. I definitely will visit you guys next time when I come down to Sri Lanka. All the best guys !!!

    Very good quality food. Service very average. They seem to give a service of discrimination. There was an Army officer with his family and they were given better chairs and a table with a nice table cloth for evening tea. We had a bigger crowd but we were given ordinary plastic chairs and not even a proper table. Our crowd was about 25. But food was very high quality. Reception girl was friendly but the others not much of friendliness.

  • 4/5 Adheesha M. 1 year ago on Google
    The best thing about the hotel is the beach as it is the perfect combination of rough and shallow. The hotel rooms were excellent, however the service in the kitchen is questionable if you are ordering from the set menu as the food takes upwards of 1 and a half hours to be served. Overall it was a great experience.

  • 2/5 Thamira J. 1 year ago on Google
    After looking for more places which were fully booked, this was only vacant space we found, so gave it a shot. On 06th May 2023, six of us (family) booked one double and a triple (Full board) on 21,800/- and 26,300/- respectively. At the first glace seemed, that the Hotel has lost its former glory once it had. Not enough efforts been taken to restore and maintain the same over time.

    This hotel is awful and they serve re heated re fryied old food 😡 they take hours to serve food even if their is only one table to serve. The location is nasty and no staff the food is complete trash even my dog wornt eat from this place, and tastes really old and they took like an hour just to deliver desserts. Poorly maintained and food is expensive and not worth for the price at all. Never visiting this place. Even the toilets are like public restrooms which are not cleaned and smells awful. 🤬

  • 1/5 Lakshitha G. 1 year ago on Google
    Poor conditions and poor service. Bathroom ceiling was broken and unsafe, room AC was leaking water, light bulb was not working in the balcony. TV was broken and it was switching on and off on its own! electric kettle and tea cups in the room were very dirty. Buffet was even worse. Only very few varieties of food, and definitely not enough food for the number of guests. Many people didn’t even get dessert! Overall it was the worst place we have been.

  • 1/5 vishara de s. 1 year ago on Google
    Very poor service from reception to the waiters, i never recommend Laya hotel chain for anyone. U ll definitely loose your money. May be its good for forces personal due to some discounts for them. If some maintain a decent living standerd, it never suits for u, if u order something it ll come after hours, and the waiters they even dont know about the menu card, if u say something they ll do some another thing. Kindly mark my words before u go there. Thankz.

  • 1/5 Ishan V. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely not worthy of staying in this hotel. Rate is exaggerated for the low standard service. Ants, flees and insects found in food. No favorable response from the manager instead he was blaming us over the phone for highlighting these. Disappointing service

  • 1/5 nirosh d. 1 year ago on Google
    waste of money . Dont even think about it. Food is horrible . They dont know the difference between international buffet and a meal for a funeral house . Discarded entire hotel chain from my list.

  • 4/5 Nipuna K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place for a day out. Swimming pool is ok but baby pool is relatively small. Superb service may be due to SL Army personnel. A nice play ground in the hotel allows visitors to play cricket which is very enjoyable for the cricket lovers, volley ball lovers also has plays. Others can enjoy the beach. Worth for your price

  • 1/5 Susan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Unpleasant experience. Room are not clear, not looking good A/C not working, washroom looks good in the picture's what they have uploaded but not in real. The show was broken. Buffet was horrible 😫. The smell of the place were worse. I can imagine how will the kitchen be. The surrounding was a calm place.

  • 3/5 Tharanga K. 1 year ago on Google
    Laya has a beautiful beach. It was a nice experience sitting in a fishing boat on the beach at sunset. I would say, it is more suitable for family day-outing otherwise, you will complain about noisy crowd playing and singing. The garden and pool were average, however, the outing rooms were not maintained and not as good as expected. Little variety for the price of the lunch buffet, the food was tasty though.

  • 1/5 Ruwanthi E. 1 year ago on Google
    Visited for a Sunday buffet with a day room. Room was full of dust and dirt. Furniture, ceiling wash room proofs the poor maintenance . Sunday buffet was like a low budget village wedding however charged Rs.3500/ per head. No varieties at all and with non A/ C dinning area with flies..Never recommend this entire Laya chain of Hotel .
