Heritance Honeymoons Reviewed by the BrideandGroom Magazine Heritance Ahungalla Whether you’re getting married in Sri Lanka or you’re in the country for your honeymoon, there’s no way you can miss spending some time in our tropical beaches. And if you’re looking for a beautiful hotel with chic rooms, good food, lovely beaches and absolute value for money, Heritance Ahungalla will not disappoint you. Awarded the best 5-star Resort at the Sri Lanka Tourism Awards held recently, this hotel never ceases to surprise us with its gorgeous view, beautifully furnished rooms, and service. Located 75 km’s from Colombo, a 2 ½ hour drive will bring you to this unique hotel in the South. As you drive in through the hotel’s gates the first glimpses of the hotel would be through palm groves and as you walk in to the hotel, you can’t but help be drawn into the beautiful view from the lobby which opens up to an infinity pool blending in to the ocean and the vista. The Suites Heritance Ahungalla has 4 Luxury Suites and 5 Suites. The hotel also has 15 Luxury Rooms, 36 Premium Rooms and 92 Deluxe Rooms. We enjoyed the comforts of a Suite which had a separate living area, private balcony, jacuzzi and rain shower, TV and all other modern amenities. These include AC/fan, tea/coffee making facilities, free WiFi, pipe music, dressing area and toiletries. All rooms timber panelled are beautifully and stylishly furnished in black, beige and gold. Our bed was beautifully decorated with flower petals and we enjoyed the complementary flowers, cashew nuts and cookies. You also have the option of choosing from smoking or non-smoking suites when making the reservation. Given that it is a big hotel, check with the hotel about the view from your room (if you are particular about it). The hotel also has free Wi-Fi access. The Food It was an impressive fusion of Sri Lankan, Western and International cuisine inclusive of soups, salads, entrees, mains, desserts and live action stations. Also plenty of options are available for vegetarians and for the health conscious. It was definitely the best spread we had in the trip! The hotel has theme nights so check with them when they have your favourite! Both air conditioned and non-airconditioned seating is available in the hotel’s main restaurant, ‘Jute’ which can seat about 250 guests. And the long meal hours don’t force you to start your day early. The breakfast buffet is open from 7 a.m. – 10 a.m.; lunch from 12.30 p.m.- 2.30 p.m. ; dinner from 7.00 p.m. – 10.00 p.m. If you however, want to try a more fine dining option, head towards the cozy ‘Upper Room’ Fine Dining Restaurant from which you can enjoy a romantic dinner watching the stars and listening to the waves. If you wish, the hotel will even arrange a candle-lit dinner on the beach itself. And you can grab a bite any time of the day from the ‘Mustard’ Coffee Shop. The Hotel also has quite a few bars including a couple of open air bars from which you can enjoy your favourite wine or drink. Things to do You can take a stroll in the beach or enjoy the waves and come back for a leisurely * 15% discount on availability to clients who present the Bride and Groom magazine at the Heritance reservations office and is valid from November 2011 to January 2012 (excluding the peak period which is from the 15th of Dec 2011 to the 15th of January 2012
swim in the hotel’s two pools. The Resident’s Pool gives you more privacy and is exclusively for the hotel’s residents. You can also try the hot water Jacuzzi near the pool. The hotel can also arrange for a boat ride in the sea or a safari on the Madu Ganga if you would like to venture outside the hotel premises. Other local attractions include the Kosgoda turtle hatchery, the Galle city and the fort, and whale watching in Mirissa. There are plenty of other sports and recreational facilities available within the hotel such as tennis, badminton and indoor games. Heritance Ahungalla also has a lounge on the top floor which houses the hotel’s own library. RECEIVE A 15% DISCOUNT CALL: +94-11-2308112 *CONDITIONS APPLY Service The service was exceptional. You’re pampered but at the same time left alone to enjoy yourselves. We thought that the bag of water bottles that was given to us to refresh ourselves on our journey back home, and the quick windscreen wipe were thoughtful gestures. If you go there once, you’d want to go there again!
