Wake N Flow was amazing. From the moment we checked in to the moment we left, we felt at home. The staff was all so kind and courteous when we asked questions or needed help getting around the city. The property itself is currently under small renovation but everything was kept clean and out of the way. The location was ideal because it’s only a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the grocery store.
Outpost Weligama exceeded my expectations. The facilities and staff were top notch and professionally run. The common areas, including the rooms were immaculate. Everyone was super friendly and attentive to my requirements, from check-in to food to booking taxis. Two things that really stand out were the quality of food at the rootop restaurant and the drinks prepared by their bartender Lahiru. In describing the former, the quality of food was beyond what I expected for a hostel/co-working space. The Head Chef worked in several resorts in the Maldives and in Dubai, which explained the exquisiteness of the food and the presentation. I couldn't believe the quality of the produce, size, flavour and presentation of the meals. The meals I had everyday and on New Years Eve 2024 were equivalent to what you'd expect at fine-dining restaurant in Melbourne, Sydney or Auckland. This was also the same with the cafe. Bartender Lahiru and his team made me and my friend feel very welcome. The drinks he prepared were sublime and matched the quality you'd expect at top bars around the world! I will definitely return to Outpost Weligama in the future!
We, as a family spent a week at this amazing hotel where people are super friendly, and welcoming. Food for Christmas dinner was delicious , and can be organised at any time with fresh fish and fruits and veggies. We fell like a family hotel where all the people working there are really taking care of us. The atmosphere here is very friendly. You just need to cross the street 6 meters to get to the beach where the waves are nice for beginners and also advanced level surfers. From the balcony we can enjoy the sunrise and sunset. The rooms are big and fresh with the air condition. The room service is perfect made daily!!! Celine and Family
This was a very odd hotel that in reality looks a lot more ragged vs the pictures posted here. The smell of mildew is strong in many parts of the hotel, especially the reception office. The rooms are awkwardly furnished, with loud AC units that run 24/7 struggling to cool your room. There are a number of dogs on site, and while friendly have a tendency to go crazy and bark very loudly at night when people enter the hotel. I was there during off season for 2 nights. The Friday night had a nearby club with booming music until well after midnight disturbing sleep. Very few people at the hotel, and the beach was deserted. I'd rate the beach average. It does tend to have some garbage on it, with only limited chairs/loungers available. On the plus side, the breakfast was very hearty and filling and the internet worked well. The staff was happy to exchange money and do laundry for you. But not sure this place has totally recovered from the tsunami in 2004. I would not use this place again given the choice.
