I had a wonderful time at the hotel with its prime location just moments from the beach. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering beautiful views that made my stay even more enjoyable. However, breakfast was quite monotonous, and the hotel seemed to cater to a specific clientele, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. Overall, it provided good value for money, especially for those looking to relax by the beach.

My experience at the resort was quite disappointing despite its beautiful space. I encountered numerous problems from the onset, including poor room conditions and insufficient dining options. While the staff did their best under the circumstances, the overall lack of maintenance and organization detracted significantly from my stay.

I had a very disappointing experience during my stay. The hotel had potential, but issues with hygiene, staff efficiency, and room conditions made it uncomfortable. While the management was responsive, the lack of basic amenities and slow service really detracted from my overall experience. I wouldn't recommend this place unless significant improvements are made.

I had an amazing experience at this resort, just steps away from the beach with a breathtaking view. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated, and the staff went above and beyond to assist us. However, the breakfast could use more variety, and my initial check-in was marred by some issues that needed addressing.

I had an incredible experience at Shangrela Beach Resort! The location right on Ambalangoda beach was absolutely perfect. The rooms were spacious and clean, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The dining was consistently enjoyable, with various options for breakfast and dinner. However, I can see how some guests might have had different experiences depending on the room they were assigned, as there were some reports of issues.
