    We loved our stay at Fort Edge! It was a little bit out of the main town, but this is why we booked here!We rented a scooter and had the absolute best time. The staff, facilities, food and everything else was absolutely amazing. Thank you to all the staff for making us feel welcome and for making our stay unforgettable.

    One thing: change the overused beach towels, and you'll be the best! ;)

    The staff helpful and kind, the rooms are clean and comfy beds. The restaurant also good one! It is far away from hustle&bustle but everything nearby. Thank you for the great hospitality!

    Fort Edge team, We cannot thank you enough for being so kind, helpful and considerate during our stay. Rio missed you all as soon as we left and wondered whether you would be meeting us at our next hotel 😂😭 If we ever return to Unawatuna, we will gladly stay with you again. Thank you so much for making our week 🩵 Bryony, Oliver and Rio Moon 🩵 🌙

    Tuk tuk drivers occasionally found it difficult to find, but this was not a major problem.

    A lovely place, with a nice pool, a good Sri Lankan breakfast, and very friendly and helpful staff. The beautiful garden was frequently visited by rare purple-faced langurs, as well as colourful birds and monitor lizards. Would definitely stay there again.

    Sometimes it was hard to get a tuk/uber to come, however when the driver is called and the staff assists by speaking in the local language they always manage to find it.

    Had an amazing stay here, could not have wished for better facilities, staff was very friendly as well. Rotating breakfast as well.

    Everything was perfect

    We have now traveled to 58 countries and the Fort Edge Retreat is definitely one of the best we have ever had. The service is outstanding. We got an upgrade straight away and were able to move into the family suite two days early. Everything is super clean, laundry service, Prrasad, who also works in the kitchen, took us to Unawatuna or Galle and picked us up at any time, just sent a WhatsApp and a short time later he was there. On the last evening we were invited to a traditional curry. The pool is super nice and is cleaned every day. The owner and the manager are also constantly trying to fulfill every wish, organized trips and did everything else to make our stay perfect. Thank you all for the incredibly great time, Carmen & Clemens

    Cannot mention much: if you need a place which is quiet and has a pool: this is a great place, if you need a bit more lively environment, then it is not for you.

    The staff is very friendly, they even arranged a birthday cake and decoration for us. The room is spacious with a nice balcony and a good bed. The pool is nice and the area is quiet.
