My friend and I (33 year old guys from the UK) came over to Sri Lanka for 2 weeks during the Christmas and New Year period 2021/22. We stayed at the Golden Pearl Beach Hotel for 2 nights just before Xmas. The hotel is in really great condition and the staff are really friendly, very attentive and always there to be helpful. Special thanks to our waiter Madaranga Upul who was charming, funny and always there with a cold Lion Beer in hand for us! We had rooms on the 2nd floor with stunning balcony views of the ocean, the rooms were really comfortable, good air con, and nice shower facilities. Outside the pool area is very pleasant, and we spent many a relaxing hour sipping pina coladas on the beach area underneath the mango and palm trees, whilst watching (and helping) the local fishermen pull in their net for the catch of the day! Food in the hotel was excellent as well, served up by the Executive Chef who made extremely tasty authentic Sri Lankan curries with fresh fish caught that morning! The beach itself is picture-postcard stuff, very relaxing, quiet and a perfect place to unwind for a few days. The waves can get quite big there with a strong current so you do need to be aware of that if going for a dip. The locals were so happy to see some tourists again after a tough few years due to Covid. There were a few places closed down and the evening places to eat near the beach were a bit limited but the food was still excellent all the same. All in all a really amazing stay at Golden Pearl, would highly recommend - thank you to all the staff for an amazing stay!
