I had a pleasant stay from the start. Rabani gave me a personal tour when I arrived, which made me feel really welcome. Gym was clean and fully equipped actually to my surprise. I loved the spa and the massage treatment on a sand bed! They also had some amazing personal care products - quite pricey but definitely worth it - Randi was super helpful and patient while I decided what to get. The infinity pool was beautiful, and the hotel had so many restaurants, each specializing in their own cuisine. I tried Yorokō, the Japanese restaurant, and Staten, the steakhouse—both were excellent including the staff as well. Supun, the guest services coordinator, even upgraded me to a bigger room for a better ocean view, which was a really lovely gesture.

We loved everything at Sheraton. The room was beautifully decorated to welcome us for our honeymoon. Thanks to the Front Office Manager and whole team. You made our stay memorable:-) The food was excellent. The spa beautiful decorated with professional therapist. Thanks to the young lady who took care of me. We enjoyed the roof top with great music and delicious cocktail. We are planning every year to renew our vows.

From

Nice decent size room with a swimming pool right in front of the lake and the view of the Lotus tower. My main highlights were the breakfast and dinner. The wide variety and selection was out of this world and you get to try different cuisines as well. By far, the best restaurant I've been to in a hotel. Breakfast has a variety of European and Asian selections which was a nice touch. Also, it's location in downtown Colombo is great which is just a few minutes drive to the shopping mall and the Lotus Tower.
