We were absolutely delighted with our first 4 nights at the Hotel so much so that we decided to return for 3 extra nights later in our trip. The staff are a credit to the hotel always happy and helpful they made us feel special. The food was very good quality and value . The pool area was cleaned many times during the day and the towels clean large and plentiful. We will definitely return on our next visit to Sri Lanka.

We had a great 6 days at this lovely hotel. Location perfect and easy to take a walk or short tuk tuk ride to town. Lovely clean pool and situated right on the beach. Had an excellent albeit expensive massage - can recommend. Nice touch with short teaser massage on arrival. Very friendly staff apart from one older pool attendant who was not ! Can recommend next door beach cafe Pop Eye - nice food and staff! Only downside was one of our deluxe rooms was certainly not deluxe - and had no view at all - we managed to swap this but not for first night and no compensation given at all for this which was really bad considering the price of the room and length of our stay! They could have at least given some free drinks or massage as compensation. Also breakfast buffet lacked variation but was fine. If the drinks and food prices were more reasonable then more people would use the hotel in the evenings. But very expensive so we went elsewhere . Despite high cost can recommend this hotel .

This a nice property with staff that tries very hard. Pros- we started with a really nice welcome drink and our room had an awesome view (very small deck) and a very comfy bed with nice pillows. The shower works well and has a lot of hot water. The pool is lovey. Great yoga room and yoga instructor. We went for a massage and that was delightful, the masseuse is wonderful. Pool is great and they have nice pool towels. They provide 2 litres of water a day (plastic) and the breakfast is really nice though repetitive. We had dinner 2x in the hotel and the food is fresh and tasty. Cons- first time since we have been in Sri Lanka (over 18 locations) that we receive and email that if you want anything more than Internet to communicate, you have to pay extra. Luckily we had data because the wifi was totally useless. Not something to cheap out on in a big resort. Also the yoga mats and the outdoor sun bed mats were horrible, torn, stained and dirty which was really unfortunate. We also had tears in our bedsheets. Also, in other resorts in Sri Lanka they provide drinking water in glass bottles they clean and reuse because this resort must be using a ton of plastic. For the price of a stay, they really need to put a bit more funds in to the property.

Jeg booket 2 netter fordi jeg ønsket et bra hotell å bo på i julen. Hotellet er dyrt, så jeg ble skikkelig skuffet da jeg ankom og de ba meg betale ekstra 50USD «because its christmas» for tjenester jeg hverken trenger eller ønsker. I tillegg var det ekstra kostnader for frokost. At hotellet arrangerer underholdning og julemiddag, bør det være slik at de som benytter seg at det betaler for det. Oh det stod ikke noe om denne ekstra kostnaden på nettsiden og jeg fikk ikke avbrutt oppholdet. Dessuten lå rommet mitt tett på restauranten, så det var mye bråk fra restauranten til rommet. Og musikken de spilte i restauranten var så høy at jeg hørte den inn på rommet. Positivt: jeg benyttet meg av laundry og det var bra. Raskt og rent. Veldig bra. Hotellet bar preg at det er gammelt og slitt. Bra med vann i dusjen. Positivt. Så synes hotellet er for dyrt i forhold til hva du får.

Jeg hadde tidenes beste ferieopphold. Jeg elsker Insight Resort Hotell. Servicen , maten og de hyggelige ansatte her gjør oppholdet magisk. Dette er tredje gang jeg er på ferie på dette hotellet , og jeg blir like fornøyd hver gang. Jeg synes at hotellet skulle hatt 4-stjernes stempel fordi det fortjener det virkelig.

I had such a great time at Insight Resort. Very clean, nice hotel. With very helpful and polite staff, I’ve never felt unattended. Beautiful private beach access and spacious pool. I chose the room with sea view and enjoyed so much. The food at the restaurant was amazing and super fresh. Value and quality are really attractive! Will definitely come back!

I would rate "Insight" at 5 stars. Heaps of reasons to do so, especially because of the professional and attentive staff. However, I can only give them 4.9 stars... the music selection does not match the hotel environment. It's a beachfront hotel with a lot of surfers, but they play old Roy Orbison and Elvis music. Also, they play random Italian music. It's not bad music, it just doesn't fit the property. My opinion is they should have something more Bali Lounge / Bali Chill style. It would make breakfast buffet time so much more enjoyable... listening to beach chill music instead of random 1950s US songs. Besides that, 5 stars!!!

The hotel is super clean and safe and the staff are welcoming and friendly, however their manner is a bit off-putting as they only seem to know two words: "Room Number". Even after two weeks, the waiters at breakfast asked me my room number when they had seen me every day. The restaurant has no vibe whatsoever, long empty tables in a huge bright room. Your plates are cleared before you have finished your last mouthful of food, and you are brought the bill to sign without being asked if you want anything else. Waiters hover over you watching your every move as if you are not to be trusted - it can be quite disconcerting! The food however is great, and the Chef is amazing. He came out every morning to see if I liked the breakfast, and recommended certain dishes - he even made me a special pasta one evening as he knew I'd like it spicy. The information needs to be updated on the website/hotels.com site as, whilst this may be due to pandemic restrictions, if I had known certain things I would not have chosen this resort. As a coffee lover, they only have instant coffee, even at breakfast, it's disguised as filter coffee! No coffee bar. No snack bar/deli. There is only 1 (lovely) pool. No roof terrace. The Juice Bar is just a sign (it's a storage place for beach mattresses & towels). The picnic area is a bunch of wooden benches. No specific children's play area. No sun umbrellas at all. No beach loungers (pool area only). Gayan, one of the pool attendants was super though.

Picnic Area (not allowed food outside though!)

Lovely Pool but no sun umbrellas and not allowed to take the beds to the beach (so no beach loungers as advertised)

Неплохой отельчик, с территорией и своим пляжем. Номера немного уставшие, видно что ремонт был давно. Но в целом остались довольны

Sensational hotel. Fantastic location, sea view. Beautiful pool located in the shade of palm trees allowing you to relax. Good drinks. However, the greatest value of the hotel are its employees. Each one helps to spend time in the best way possible. From preparing beautiful, hearty breakfasts to suggesting places to go. Our car driver had to cancel a few hours before we got to the airport and the hotel arranged a replacement for us within minutes at a very reasonable price. I have traveled to many places in the world, but those few days at the Insight Hotel were one of the best experiences of my life.
