Angel Beach Unawatuna — Restaurant in Sri Lanka

Great Vibe and Location, But Poor Room Experience and Service

We recently stayed at Angel Beach Resort and overall, the place has a fantastic vibe, especially in the evening — perfect for families, couples, and groups of friends. The location is amazing, right by the beach, and the poolside staff were excellent, offering great service. Breakfast also had a wide range of delicious options, which we really enjoyed.

However, our stay was unfortunately affected by several negative experiences that need to be addressed.

We booked two deluxe rooms but were given two completely different room types, and the air conditioning in both rooms was not functioning properly. Even after setting the temperature to 17°C, the rooms didn’t cool adequately. We did report this to reception, and they managed to fix it later — which we appreciate — but it should not have been an issue in the first place.

When we requested a room change from receptionist Bashitha, despite paying USD 225 for one night, we were offered a standard room as a replacement — which was not acceptable considering what we paid for deluxe rooms.

Additionally, the room construction quality is very poor. Even when speaking softly, people in the next room could hear us clearly, including when using the washroom. The worst part of our stay was the way Front Office Manager Dilshan handled a guest complaint. He came to our room and knocked multiple times between 10:30 PM and 11:30 PM, asking us to stop talking, despite us not making excessive noise or playing music. On the third visit, he even brought security and two other staff members, which made us feel extremely uncomfortable — as if we were being treated like troublemakers or prisoners, just for having a normal conversation in our room.

I explained to him that we were not singing or shouting, and even invited him to see the room himself. His behavior was not professional, and it made us feel unwelcome and disrespected. He also asked us to come speak to him at the reception the next day?????

This kind of experience is not what you expect from a 4-star resort. I strongly suggest the top management — especially Mr. Nishantha Gamage (General Manager) — look into how the staff is trained to handle guests, particularly in the front office.

The property is beautiful and has great potential, but these issues made our stay far less enjoyable than it...

Positives|The place is not catered as a hotel ideally instead it’s more of a the pass visitors to eat drink and spend nice time at the beach and that's pretty much it.||Negatives|The customer service of most of the staff was not good and were not attentive at all to what we were requesting and asking us the same question multiple times probably because of language barrier|We booked an executive suite however the line was dirty in our room.|The hotel was playing loud music most of the day until 11 o’clock at night which I’m perfectly fine with however you could hear the music in the rooms as well making it difficult for kids to sleep in the room at the same time.|We had no Wi-Fi in the rooms and the hotel seem to be clueless how to fix it and easy thing for them to say was that it was an Internet service provider issue. however, all of a sudden on the second day the hotel was able to give us a new user password to a different WiFi. My question is why not give it on the first day itself when the Internet issue was there.|The hotel is in no way classified to be called as a small luxury hotel, but more of a mere three star hotel |strange to say but we were at a tropical place and that ran out of pineapple juice and hence they could not serve any pineapple based cocktails their answer was yes it’s on the way and should be there in 20 minutes however even pass post 45 minutes the staff either forgot to mention that the drinks were available or just forgot about our order|Also getting into our room there was construction happening below our room and above our room as well. so when entering the rooms smelling cement and silica and once you are below the room you are hearing the sounds of cutting wood or marble||On the flipside all these comments have been passed on to the manager and the necessary staff. However I would highly discourage hotel guests who think of a dream hotel stay at this property - kindly avoid and if you want to use the property as a place to take nice Instagram photos videos while enjoying your meals and beverages at the beach, nothing more||Yes the review has been harsh however really in our 4th trip to SL this property was the 1st...
