Great pool, buffet and comfortable clean rooms. A great place for a family holiday.
The hotel is isolated in not the best neighborhood I’m afraid. But as we went all inclusive we didn’t need to leave the property.
A lovely sea front resort, room was spotless, all staff were excellent especially himal and anezly who helped us find our iPhone which we left back seat of uber. By tracking him on Facebook. Food was great and excellent choice on buffet. Also great sea food choice.

Beautiful hotel. Excellent food and atmosphere at both restaurants. Neighborhood not so great so stay onsite and don’t wander.
The hallmark of the hotel is the staff. Amazing friendliness, very accommodative and made us feel very much at home.
Hotel overall was convenient and did justice to our stay.
Check in was delayed for at least 45 minutes. It didn’t appear to be busy at the reception.
Restaurant: Dinner was quite good with a well planned menu. Much variety and on point when it came to taste. Desserts could be better as seemed to be in the same spectrum. Breakfast could have been better on quality.
Rooms were good sized, beds with average comfort. TV remote did not work but didn't really use it. Bathroom was well equipped. Showers with good pressure and wonderful hot water. Could have better utility for hanging towels and hooks for cloth storage.
Would like to come back and enjoy the hospitality again.

Great stay
Our stay at Pegasus was excellent. Staff were amazing and helpful, amenities were excellent. The only area for improvement would be an upgrade to their coffee available for breakfast. Drop filter just doesn't cut it.
Good pool. We all, especially our grandsons, enjoyed the excellent buffets with all their choices. Ideal surroundings to relax in, but near enough to Colombo. Nice shower. Radu particularly helpful

Pegasus Beach comfortable hotel
I stayed here twice on my trip to Sri Lanka. First time with a large group. The hotel is in a great spot on the beach. You can’t swim at the beach plus it’s rather dirty with rubbish. It has beautiful grounds and a pool to enjoy. Food is good, staff are good. Rooms need renovating but clean and functional. No lifts but the staff carry the luggage for you.

The staff are friendly and polite. The brrakfast, lunch and buffet is good however can do with few more options.
Wifi was a big issue and wifi router had to be installed as there were issues with public wifi.
The in room dinning service and house keeping was hit and miss sevice wise. I had to follow-up few times to get our room serviced.
Cheers

Hotel is not easily accessible and Uber and other hire vehicles do not often accept rides. There is no travel desk and minimum help to find cars for hire. In room dining service is very slow. Service that is promised in 15 minutes could get delayed by 60 minutes or more. The building needs a new coat of paint. Staff provide very odd reasons for declining requests and are not accomodating. Food is decent. Pretty yard. Beach is accesdible.
The property was near the beach and has a walking path. Almost all the hotel staff and at the front desk were nice. The choice of dishes at the buffet were excellent. Most of them were delicious. And the staff at the restaurant were very obliging. My husband is a vegan. He had lots of choices and was very happy.
But some at the front desk were not very helpful. Check-in were very quick and pleasant.
When we wanted a hire a car to a certain time the staff didn’t do anything an then said no car available. And didn’t do anything. We managed to get a car which came to drop passenger at the it.

Nice experience. Friendly staff but the rooms could use some maintenance!
The hotel is good, it’s let down by reception staff who either struggle to understand or just don’t want to help guests. I had one bad experience trying to get a room key replaced. And heard other guests had multiple problems.

It’s a nice beachfront property but the beach is not suitable for swimming or bathing, the sea water is not clean as the waste water from the land comes and mix in the sea. Hotel rooms a very tired, need a good clean and the furnitures need replacing
The staff are very friendly and helpful and it’s beautifully landscaped and maintained
Our stay has been nice. What saddens me is the trash I saw on the beach. It’s not in front of the hotel but all along the beach. People here don’t respect the beauty they have here enough to put their trash and recycle in the right containers and our oceans and beaches suffer from it.
I have stayed at this property few times prior to COVID and financial crises. The staff is the same friendly, professional, courteous group who is so focused on excellent customer experience. The location is 15min to downtown Colombo and 5min to Wattala junction.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The facilities were poor and the hotel was very tired and neglected
We booked it through expedia and got a great deal which made the hotel really good value!
The hotel has a beautiful pool area and great rooms however we wasn't that happy about the breakfast buffet.
The location isn't the best either it's a bit far from Colombo and the airport and even though it's next to the Ocean, you can't go swimming in it because of big rocks.
