Hotels near Uswetakeiyawa Beach

"To be in the position where your children become unwell overseas is extremely stressful, we were fortunate however to experience a service at Shangri-la Colombo that went above and beyond my expectations of any accomodation. A particular mention to the chefs- particularly the head chef who prepared special meals to accomodate my 2 year old sons recovery, the restaurant staff, the hotel staff who daily asked of my childrens wellbeing & empathising being parents themselves. The volume of housekeeping we required was WELL above our quota but not once was there a single comment. A particular mention of the restaurant manager (Maki); who on one occasion upon seeing my level of distress experiencing this kind of event while being away from home responded- "while you are away from home, separated from your own family- you become a part of ours here", numerous occasions during our stay you offered if we required "absolutely any assistance" possible to simply contact you, this individual is an absolute asset to Shangri-la chain, i can't emphasize that enough, he was incredibly helpful. I realise there is a certain level of expectation when staying at higher end accomodation, this experience excelled above and beyond. I would without hesitation recommend any family stay here, it's especially when the unexpected occurs travelling this kind of support exceeds any monetary considerations. Thank you Shangri-la Colombo!!! ❤️🇱🇰"

"Our stay has been nice. What saddens me is the trash I saw on the beach. It’s not in front of the hotel but all along the beach. People here don’t respect the beauty they have here enough to put their trash and recycle in the right containers and our oceans and beaches suffer from it."
