"Excellent. That’s all that needs to be said"

"We went for this hotel based on the trust in the Riu brand, location, all inclusive basis and general good reviews. Overall the hotel was very good. We’d stop short of rating it as excellent based on some of the amenities looking / feeling slightly tired - probably on the basis of having been worked hard. Some key thoughts; We visited during the Middle East war / crisis and consequently the hotel was much quieter than normal. Therefore everything felt more spacious, less crowded and easier to access. We wondered how our very good experience might of been if the hotel had been close to full as we were told is the normally the case. The food was outstanding - particularly for an all inclusive. The choices were broad and quality excellent. The themed restaurants were also superb and easy to book. The Pan Asian and Sauté restaurants were particularly good. The staff were brilliant, so polite, helpful and curtious - a real credit to the hotel and Riu. There were 3 big pools but only one with an easy bar access which was also strictly (and enforced) adults only. That suited us but with parties including under 18s may be an inconvenience and something to consider. The rooms were big, clean with functional facilities and simple decor designs. The hotel is right on a stunning public beach. You can swim but need to take care due to big waves and strong currents. Overall, we’ve done lots of all inclusives and this one is defiibately up there as one of the better we’ve experienced! "

"Staff were nice. A bit rundown... as expected for price and location. "

"We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Golden. We were 2 adults, 3 children so had plenty of space! Susantha & his team were the best hosts. We had a delicious breakfast every morning of fruit, yogurt, smoothies, eggs, omelettes, waffles & hoppers. We also had 2 meals in the villa cooked by the house girls which were delicious, would highly recommend. The garden area is beautiful, right onto the beach. It’s a great location, only a 15 minute tuk tuk into Galle. The restaurants along the beach by the villa are well worth trying out. We highly recommend this villa to anyone staying in this part of Sri Lanka! Thank you for a great stay! "

"Pros: Great location with an amazing beachfront experience, a pretty good breakfast, and the staff let us hang out in the hotel area a few hours before our check-in. Cons: A bit old rooms, very cold inside with no possibility of making it warmer. We are from Ukraine, and the staff was trying to talk in Russian to us, literally the whole stay. We repeated several times that we don't speak Russian and we don't understand them, but they didn't care. "
