Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux Bewertungen

Wir kamen am 30. September 2023 um 14 Uhr im Cape Weligama Hotel an. Dieses Hotel liegt auf einer Klippe und ist eines der drei Hotels der Roland & Chateau Group in Sri Lanka. Von November bis April kann man vom Hotel aus manchmal Wale beobachten. Die Lage ist gut, ein bisschen ähnlich wie das Bulgari Hotel auf Bali, aber nicht so groß wie das Bulgari und der Service ist durchschnittlich. Das Abendessen kann grundsätzlich nur im Hotel eingenommen werden, was sich nicht billig anfühlt, und das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig. Vom Hotel aus kann man Eidechsen und Pfauen sehen. Vor kurzem ist ein neuer Naturforscher angekommen, der mit Kindern Blätter sammeln und verschiedene Tiere beobachten kann, was sehr interessant ist. Allerdings habe ich nur einmal in diesem Hotel übernachtet, um es zu erleben, und ich werde nicht noch einmal dort übernachten.

Ausstattung: Es bewahrt die Würde eines Fünf-Sterne-Hotels. Da das Hotel jedoch in die Jahre gekommen ist, ist es unrealistisch, eine modernere und trendigere Ausstattung zu erwarten. Umgebung: Das Schwimmbad ist natürlich ausgezeichnet. Super Produktion. Die Ökologie des Hotels ist großartig und man kann sagen, dass es das schönste Hotel ist, in dem ich je in Sri Lanka übernachtet habe. Service: Sehr rücksichtsvoll und reaktionsschnell. Der Service mit einem Lächeln wird seinem Ruf gerecht. Hygiene: Sehr sauber und hygienisch. Auch das Essen ist sehr gut und abwechslungsreich.

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.

除了貴，沒毛病。斯里蘭卡著名茶品牌Dilmah旗下的酒店產業，整座酒店在懸崖之上，所以沙灘相對是弱項，衹有兩處很小的沙灘，不過卻是沖浪聖地。房間密度很低，私密性絕佳。入住時會有歡迎飲料，可以點椰子或者果汁啤酒。套房面積非常大，尤其是洗手間，淋浴間還可以作為濕蒸房用。早餐是點餐式，選擇很多，不過都是西式，水果很好吃。客房服務很好，第二晚疊的毛巾大象有被可愛到。在酒店裡竟然還看到很多衹散步的孔雀，動物與人類和諧共處的畫面很有意思～

房間很大，用餐環境無敵，泳池面向印度洋.人少景美，食物服務都很好，很適合度假.

Der Grund, warum das Essen so gut war, war die Auswahl und die Vielfalt der Gerichte, aus denen man wählen konnte, und die Präsentation war ausgezeichnet. Die Schärfe war erstaunlich, wenn man es wollte, was wir in keinem anderen Restaurant gefunden haben, das Personal war so freundlich und ging auf alle Sonderwünsche ein, von glutenfrei bis hin zu Hafermilchoptionen.

Cape Weligama hatte einige fantastische Aussichten und gute Pools. Das Personal war höflich und bot einen ausgezeichneten Service. Die Preise der Gerichte auf der Speisekarte des Restaurants waren für ein solches Hotel gerade noch akzeptabel. Die 31 % Steuern und Servicegebühren scheinen jedoch unangemessen, und wir haben nie herausgefunden, wie viel von den 31 % Steuern (die wir nirgendwo sonst hatten) und Servicegebühren waren. Der Zugang zur Bucht und zum Meer war nicht ideal

Ich habe zwei Nächte am Cape Weligama verbracht und leider hat mir mein Aufenthalt dort nicht gefallen. Ich muss sagen, dass das Personal nett und sehr höflich und hilfsbereit ist, aber das ist das einzig wirklich Positive, was ich sagen kann. Das Zimmer, das ich gebucht hatte, hatte einen feuchten und moschusartigen Geruch und fühlte sich unglaublich veraltet an. Es lag direkt neben der Hauptstraße und es dröhnte laute Musik, also bat ich um ein anderes Zimmer, was sie mir taten. Sie verlegten mich in ein schönes Zimmer mit Pool und obwohl es sehr schön war, war wieder ein seltsamer Geruch darin. Obwohl das Resort hübsch ist, scheint es überhaupt kein Ambiente oder Atmosphäre zu geben. Sie fragten bei der Ankunft nach meiner Nummer, damit sie per WhatsApp kommunizieren können. Sie haben meine Nummer falsch verstanden und als dies korrigiert wurde, haben sie mir immer noch keine WhatsApp geschickt. Eines Nachts wartete ich auf einen Buggy, der nicht auftauchte und ich wartete 15 Minuten. Das WLAN im Resort ist außerhalb Ihres Zimmers nicht so toll. Es funktioniert nicht am Hauptpool. Das Fitnessstudio ist gut, aber auch dort riecht es seltsam. Der Service bei allen Mahlzeiten war unglaublich langsam, man muss mit einer Wartezeit von mindestens 25-40 Minuten rechnen und das Essen ist seinen Preis einfach nicht wert. Es ist sehr teuer und die Qualität ist nicht das wert, was man bekommt. Wie gesagt, das Personal ist nett, aber wenn ich wieder nach Sri Lanka komme, werde ich definitiv nicht wieder hier übernachten. Als ich abreiste, haben sie mir außerdem 265 $ für ein Taxi zum Flughafen berechnet und bei Uber bekommt man buchstäblich eins für unter 80 $.

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

Let me start by saying I had mixed feelings about staying here as I was originally booked for the sister property Ahu Bay. An unfortunate glitch in the system meant there was no room for me at Ahu Bay and as a customers service recovery was offered a room at Cape Welligama. Despite being 1.5 hours away from my last location, this place is it. It has been such a long time where a five star hotel acutally met my expectations and exceeded them- all without being pretentious! The Sri Lankan service was impeccable. Rooms- chefs kiss! Spacious, everything you need plus things you wouldn’t think you need. Steam shower was amazing. Facilities- brand new and fabulous. Pools amazing, as was service as the beach. Food/ drink- yes expensive by Sri Lankan standards but well worth it. Cocktails were some of the best I had, with very generous pours. Dinner was delicious! If I am ever back in Sri Lanka, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here or any of their properties. 10/10- no notes.

Wonderful relaxing stay. We had a large room with a lovely terrace. The restaurant is very nice with sea views and a very good range of food and drink options, both Sri Lankan and International. The gardens are very beautiful as is the coast and the peacocks. The staff were all very friendly and the service is excellent. People with mobility issues need to be careful to get a room which can be directly accessed by a buggy. I think our room was quite a way from where a buggy could have picked us up had we needed it.

An absolutely faultless stay for all of us. The rooms, pools and general facilities are brilliant. We had the best breakfasts and dinners here, a must to fully appreciate. The half moon pool is amazing, each room has its own pool. Had a great time

Our final stop in Sri Lanka after experiencing 2 of the other Resplendent Ceylon properties ( Tea Trails and Wild Cost Tented Safari) Sprawling grounds with clusters of villas featuring their own private swimming pools. Highlights included The Cliff Edge moon pool - stunning location and views. The staff at the Cocoon Bar were super friendly and always looking out to offer us a cool drink Restaurant - the staff were flawless. The Executive Chef came out the first night to say hello and to discuss any requirements and subsequently arranged the most delicious Sri Lankan meal. Each meal was delicious and beautifully presented. The Spa and Ali - I visited three times during my stay for various treatments including the 90 minute Ceylonese massage which was heaven. Ali was brilliant. The spa could do with a steam room and sauna to complete the overall experience. The Front of House staff - for the warm welcome and personal farewell, assisting with our transfers and also day trip requirements. Plus a special gesture ( and much appreciated one) offering us a late check out to prepare for a late flight out of Colombo The thoughtful gardener - he saw how delighted I was to have a peacock on our balcony. The very next day he brought me a peacock feather which was such nice gesture.

It was our first stay at Cape Weligama for seven nights. The Villas are equipped beautifully and just recently renovated. Everything is well maintained. The Housekeeping-Duo Sampath and Dinush takes care of the facility with love and passion. Everything is of the highest level. We were particularly impressed by the great people who spoiled us every day. We love the chats with Stephanie! The Assistance of Brendan and Restaurant Service of Praneeth are wonderful. The daily chats with chef Ishara was so caring, the food was presented tailor-made, so tastefully and lovingly. We will never forget the Chefs Table and the Sri Lankan Curry Omelett. Each Villa has a pool, surrounded by birds, peacooks and green scenery. Overwhelming! Special thanks to Mega for the yoga classes We will be back! Thank you for this warm hospitality. AMAZING!!
