Fabulous Resort
The Fortress was the best experience ever. The view, the rooms and service was next level. Oh and the FOOD!! Incredible with the chef Jagath always friendly and personable, making the effort to come out and chat to the guests. Thejana in the restaurant was always smiling and friendly too and looked after us very well. Literally everyone was divine from the reception staff to the yoga instructor. We loved it and will definitely be back!!
Amazing stay!
We loved our stay here the only problem was it wasn’t long enough. The staff were very helpful and super friendly from the reception staff to the amazing Chef Jagath. The seafood spread he put on was next level! All meals throughout our stay were delicious. Our room was awesome we had the most stunning view of the ocean from our bed. The rooms were cleaned twice a day. The even clean involved turning our bed down and leaving a sweet treat! There is just one thing I should Mention is the floors are extremely slippery. So be very mindful when walking through the foyer and on your balcony. We would definitely stay here again. A special thanks to Thejani for checking in and offering assistance with a smile. Also to Ahinsa for looking after us every afternoon.

Brilliant Stay!!!
We absolutely loved this resort. The ocean views, the rooms and the service was next level. Oh and the food!! It was incredible, with the chef Jagath always friendly and personable, coming out to chat to the guests at most meals.
Thejani was a fabulous hostess and really looked after us in her lovely friendly manner as was Rasandu. In the bar Ahinsa really made out happy hour a lot of fun and gave us next level service. We will definitely be back🥳

Fabulous Fortress stay
Every 2nd morning started off with a yoga class by the ocean, and then continued on with breakfast in the restaurant overlooking the pools and ocean. Loved the resort and the staff were all outstanding.
Great Sevice and Delicious Food
Checking into The Fortress, I knew we were going to enjoy the experience. The view from our room was amazing. Waking up to the rolling waves of the ocean and the crystal clear blue water of the pool every morning made it hard to get out of bed, but then the idea of breakfast was calling. Rasindu made sure we had our coffees and teas when we arrived and Thejani was at hand to fill us in on the array of food and juices available to us. We sat for a few hours enjoying the morning and discussing what we planned to do for the day, often being the last to leave. Reconvening for our cocktail hour either at the bar, on the deck or in the lobby, Ahinsa happily provided our drinks ensuring we were relaxed before heading off to dinner. The restaurant staff, Suban, Saman and others, met us with a friendly smile each night and accommodated all of our meal requests, recommending local dishes we should try. We especially enjoyed the seafood buffet by the ocean and glad Thejani suggested we try it. It was a special night and the executive chef, Jagath, spent time with us going through the fresh local delicacies. His passion for food and his job was clearly obvious and it showed in the amazing dishes he produced and the way he worked with his kitchen staff. The highlight of our trip would definitely be the flavours of the food and the attention to detail from all the staff, including the pool staff, cleaners and maintenance men. Not to forget the luxurious massage from the Spa, I had to go back for another treatment before we had to leave.
