Our family spent 2 days at Shangri-La Hambantota, and it was a truly memorable getaway. The resort is spacious, beautifully maintained, and perfect for families, with plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. The pools, play areas, and family-friendly atmosphere made our stay both fun and relaxing. The food was excellent, and a special thanks goes to Indika Kodithuwakku (F&B Service Manager), who was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to fulfill our special requests. The staff overall were pleasant, attentive, and welcoming throughout our stay. The only downside is that weekends can get quite crowded, so for a calmer experience, weekdays are definitely the better option. Another highlight of the hotel is its in-house boutiques. Sanjeewa’s handcrafts boutique is filled with beautifully made, authentic pieces that reflect Sri Lanka’s rich tradition of craftsmanship. Sanjeewa himself is warm and passionate, taking time to explain the stories behind his creations, which made shopping there feel personal and memorable. Thushara’s elephant paintings boutique is equally special — his paintings are vibrant, detailed, and capture the spirit and beauty of Sri Lanka’s elephants. His kindness and welcoming nature made visiting his shop an experience in itself. Overall, our stay at Shangri-La Hambantota was the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and cultural experiences. Between the outstanding hospitality, delicious food, family-friendly activities, and the unique in-house boutiques by Sanjeewa and Thushara, we left with wonderful memories and meaningful keepsakes. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking to experience the very best of Sri Lankan hospitality.

Nice atmosphere. The hotel is located among a beautiful scenic garden. The breakfast was delicious. I enjoyed the English Breakfast option, and one of the authentic experiences I had. The room was clean and comfortable. I loved the soft pillows. 🤓

We had a very enjoyable stay. The room service was outstanding, the buffet selection was excellent, and the rooms were spotless – special thanks to the housekeeping staff. The only downside was that, despite visiting in early September during what is considered off-season, the resort felt quite crowded. The adult pools and some other areas were often packed, which took away a bit from the five-star atmosphere. Other than that, everything else was truly wonderful.

Excellent family holiday destination. Clean rooms, wonderfully curated lawns and hotel premises. Friendly and attentive staff. The hotel almost full on both the days we were there, but the staff made sure they gave us enough attention to take care of our needs. If you are travelling with kids, this is a great destination, with lots of activities to do. The kids play area, water park were favorites of our kids. Highly recommended.
