Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux

2023.9.30下午兩點來到cape weligama酒店，這個酒店在懸崖上，是斯里蘭卡三家羅蘭夏朵集團的酒店之一，在11月到4月從酒店有時候能看到鯨魚。位置不錯，有點類似於峇裏島的寶格麗酒店，但是不如寶格麗這麼大，服務一般般。晚餐基本衹能從酒店吃，感覺不便宜，早餐很豐富。從酒店能看到蜥蜴和孔雀，最近新來了個博物學家，可以帶小朋友收集樹葉觀察各種動物，很有意思。不過這種酒店也就住一次體驗一下，後面也不會再住了。

設施：維持了一個五星酒店的尊嚴吧。但是畢竟老酒店了，指望設備多新多潮也不太現實。 環境：沒得説，泳池絕絕子。超級出片。酒店生態很贊，可以説是斯里蘭卡住過的酒店裡最美的了。 服務：非常貼心，響應及時。微笑服務，名不虛傳。 衞生：很乾凈很衞生。餐食也很不錯，種類豐富。

An absolutely faultless stay for all of us. The rooms, pools and general facilities are brilliant. We had the best breakfasts and dinners here, a must to fully appreciate. The half moon pool is amazing, each room has its own pool. Had a great time

We really enjoyed our stay. The pools are wonderful. We had 2 lovely villas and shared a pool. The staff were very helpful. We have 3 kids in their 20's and they really enjoyed the beaches and the waves. It suited them perfectly. The only reason why we wouldn't return is because 2 of us are vegetarian and the options are very limited. Literally one or 2 options for the evening meal which was surprising and a bit disappointing considering everywhere else we visited offered many options. So we decided to eat out which didn't matter at all but it would have been nice to have had more options when we did eat in for the 2 nights.

We had high expectations since this was our third stop along the Resplendent Ceylon loop around Sri Lanka, after amazing stays at Ceylon Tea Trails and Wild Coast Tented Lodge. However, this place didn't measure up to those properties for numerous reasons. Unlike those hotels' incomparably elegant style and thoughtful amenities, this comes off as a generic luxury hotel with large but average-looking rooms (no art on the walls, no stylish touches). Our room was at the edge of the sprawling property (room 52, avoid) and had a strange and unpleasant smell, which staff tried to cover by spraying with a room deodorising spray, with only fleeting success. There were several problems with the plumbing, including a toilet that wouldn't flush properly and broken steam shower. The night of our arrival we waited 15 minutes to be seated at the restaurant, even though they do not take bookings; we also waited over an hour for our food to arrive. The family pool had no swim toys to offer besides a ripped, half-deflated football. The moon pool (which we only discovered the last day of our stay) was wonderful, but children are not welcome there. The location and views are amazing, and these flaws might be forgivable in a mid-priced hotel, but the astronomical price of our stay combined with the hotel's deficiencies in comparison to the other Resplendent Ceylon properties, plus the fact that Welligama itself has a ton of other more convenient options, makes this hotel feel like a bad bargain all around.
