Feedback about Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the hotel's spacious and modern ocean-facing rooms with balconies, along with the varied and tasty food, especially the fresh dosa and naan at breakfast. The hotel's location is ideal, allowing easy walks to nearby restaurants and bars from both the hotel entrance and the beach, which is great for surfers. The pool area is also a highlight, offering delicious food and cocktails, though some have found the lighting in certain areas like the toilets and spa to be quite dim. Staying here is often described as a 5-star experience that is worth recommending.
