This resort is a hidden gem with beautiful grounds and stunning views, ideal for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. I loved how clean and comfortable the rooms were, and the service was fantastic with attentive staff. The dining options are quite good, but I found the coffee choices a bit lacking. The private beach is just a short walk away, making relaxation easy, but the nearby railway can be a minor inconvenience.

I had a memorable stay at South Lake Resorts in Koggala, where the staff truly went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome, especially with the personalized service we received. The rooms are spacious and clean, offering a great ambiance, but a couple of items could use an upgrade. The location next to Koggala Lake is beautiful, creating a tranquil setting, although the dining options could be expanded a bit. Overall, it was a fantastic place for families, and the kids had a wonderful time.
