Fantastic Culinary Experience

During my stay, I was amazed by the culinary delights offered at the hotel. The a la carte menu featured a wonderful selection of both Sri Lankan and European dishes. I especially enjoyed the daily changing breakfast buffet, with some delicious Sri Lankan options that truly set the tone for my day. Dinner was a highlight, as I had a nice cookery lesson with the Executive Chef. We toured the local market together, handpicking fresh ingredients, and then enjoyed the fruits of our labor at the dining table.

Stunning Beach Views

The room I stayed in was a dream come true! It featured a lovely balcony overlooking the ocean, where I could wake up to the sound of crashing waves. The spaciousness and cleanliness were impressive, thanks to the dedicated housekeeping team. Each night, I looked forward to relaxing on my balcony while enjoying the splendid sunsets.

Luxurious Relaxation

The hotel’s pool was a perfect spot for unwinding during my stay. Surrounded by lush gardens, it offered a serene atmosphere that was ideal for relaxation. With easy access just a few steps from my room, I enjoyed taking refreshing dips as I lounged by the poolside, soaking up the sun. It was the perfect way to relax after exploring the beautiful surroundings.

My stay at Shinagawa Beach Hotel was simply amazing! The hotel is beautifully situated right on the beach, providing stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere. The staff members are exceptionally attentive and cheerful, which made my experience delightful. The only minor drawback was that the beach can have rough seas, limiting our time in the water. Nonetheless, this hotel offers incredible value for a relaxing getaway, and I can't wait to return.
