케이프 웰리가마

가격이 비싼 것 빼고는 나쁠 게 하나도 없습니다. 스리랑카의 유명 차 브랜드인 딜마(Dilmah)가 소유한 호텔 산업으로 호텔 전체가 절벽에 있어 상대적으로 해변이 약하지만 작은 해변이 2개뿐이지만 서핑의 성지이다. 객실밀도가 매우 낮아 프라이버시가 우수합니다. 체크인 시 환영 음료가 제공되며, 코코넛 또는 과일 주스 맥주를 주문할 수 있습니다. 스위트룸은 특히 욕실이 매우 넓으며 샤워실도 한증막으로 사용할 수 있습니다. 아침 식사는 일품요리 스타일로 선택의 폭이 넓지만 모두 서양식이며 과일도 맛있습니다. 룸서비스도 너무 좋았고, 둘째날 밤에 접은 수건코끼리도 너무 귀여웠어요. 실제로 호텔에서 공작새가 많이 돌아다니는 모습을 보았는데, 동물과 인간이 조화롭게 공존하는 모습이 참 흥미로웠어요~

우리는 2023년 9월 30일 오후 2시에 케이프 웰리가마 호텔에 도착했습니다. 이 호텔은 절벽 위에 있으며 스리랑카의 롤랜드 앤 샤토 그룹 호텔 3개 중 하나이며 11월부터 4월까지 호텔에서 가끔 고래를 볼 수 있습니다. 위치는 발리의 불가리 호텔과 약간 비슷하지만 불가리만큼 크지는 않고 서비스도 평균 수준입니다. 저녁 식사는 기본적으로 호텔에서만 먹을 수 있는데 가격이 저렴하지 않고 아침 식사도 매우 풍부합니다. 호텔에서 도마뱀과 공작새를 볼 수 있습니다. 최근에는 아이들을 데리고 나뭇잎을 모으고 다양한 동물을 관찰 할 수있는 새로운 자연주의자가 도착했습니다. 하지만 저는 이 호텔에 한 번만 묵어본 경험이 있고, 다시는 묵지 않을 것입니다.

방은 넓고 식사 환경은 비교할 수 없을 정도로 훌륭하며 수영장은 인도양을 향하고 있으며 음식과 서비스가 매우 아름답습니다.

Amazing stay! Villa was big and cozy, and the amenities were great! Though the pool was shared between two villas, it still had a lot of privacy.

My husband and I have been on our honeymoon in Sri Lanka and we have stayed at some incredible locations along the way I.e Ceylon Tea trails (part of the Resplendent group) and Anantara Tangalle. Cape Weligama was our last big stop in the country. We were here for 3 nights and 4 days. Coming from Ceylon tea trails and Anantara (more similar to Cape weligama) - we had the same level of expectations when it came to the level of service and room amenities. Initially when we were shown our premier villa we were blown away by the view, outdoor living area, spaciousness, cake and Prosecco upon arrival - first impressions were overall very good. However we noticed some shortcomings to do with the room and general service (although staff are lovely and sweet) they weren’t as attentive compared to the other locations. We shared our honest feedback with the hotel and they have blown us away by how they have treated our concerns. On the second to last day Monty (GM) himself went out of his way along with his staff to ensure my husband and I would end up having a memorable and beautiful stay with Cape Weligama. They have really taken on board our feedback and have completely changed our minds about the place. They were able to move us to an even better room, offered us a complimentary evening dinner and met all our needs. Needless to say, after this will be back to stay at Cape Weligama. Thank you again to the Resplendent group - and in particular Monty, Udith, Divendra at Cape Weligama for contributing to our wonderful time in Sri Lanka.

This was our first visit to Sri Lanka, which we were looking forward to as part of our winter tour including Maldives, Sri Lanka, Thailand and a return to the cold UK through Oman and Quatar. Our 25 yrs son spoke highly of his experience during his backpacker/surfer visits to Sri Lanka, but we were looking for a higher level of comfort. Cape Weligama is a member of the Relais and Chateaux hotel association. We have a friend amongst the management team at R&C whose advice I sought prior to our decision to book. I personally don’t enjoy Indian spices although my wife loves curry, hence the combination of western and local cooking at the resort was important. The resort scored perfectly well in that respect, overall, the food offering is very good. We had booked a King bedded Master Suite and were allocated one in the eastern beach side of the property at ground floor level overlooking the “family” swimming pool in the “Arthur C Clarke” building of 4 suites. The villa blocks are named after reputed writers, personalities, or navigators, coincidentally my wife’s maiden name is “Clarke”. We were a little disappointed with the view from our ground floor suite, the upper-level suites have more light, especially on the west side of the resort (closer to the adults-only halfmoon shape pool). During the first 24 hours there seemed an absence of senior management presence at the resort, but this significantly changed on our second day when having expressed our disappointment, the assistant Executive Director Mr da Silva met with us and expressed his objective was to ensure our full satisfaction. Since then we received an outstanding level of personal attention to our needs thought our stay. Two days prior to departure, we received a complimentary upgrade to one of the higher elevation villas – this was very appreciated and offered spectacular sunset and ocean views with an abundance of wildlife proximity. Should we return, this would be the sector of the property that we would prefer. The rooms are well constructed with good quality furnishings. Not quite the latest technology seen in more modern luxury hotels, but the internet connectivity was excellent, and everything works. The rooms resemble the earlier Aman properties we stayed in such as Amanpulo in Philippines. There is direct access to a small beach where the hotel has a rustic bar with limited drinks. We sensed that this area could be improved with more extensive cocktails and smartened up. As a guest you are assigned a “curator” or butler who’s role is as an individual concierge and point of contact with the hotel. Our curator “the Brilliant Brenden” was very attentive, and instantly responsive on WhatsApp, not only helping whist in the resort, but also being on hand and contactable during our off-property excursions. Another star performer in their team was Mr Senith, the restaurant manager. Each day we would discuss our bespoke menu, and which place and time we would like to eat. These intimate
