Hotel is located in middle or maybe edge of industrial estate. A staff member raises boom gate, obviously labor cheaper than electricity. In fairness other places I've stayed since also seem to have excessive amounts of staff, many just standing around. But what's unique to Pegasus is that you walk through a metal detector to enter the hotel and your bags are put through an airport style x-ray machine. No explanation is given for this. Are they trying to prevent guests bringing in alcohol, is there a threat of an attack? A large amount of staff don't speak English, day receptionist that does needs customer service training and acts like you're bothering her if you approach the counter. Tired having been on multiple flights, my baggage not turning up at Colombo Airport, and just wanting to eat something before going to sleep early, being the only place to get food in the evening on site is a fish only restaurant, I asked for a menu for room service (why was there not one in room?), she tells me, someone will bring one to my room (obviously I wasn't in the room when asking her so why deliver it there?) But an hour goes by and no one ever brought one, I went back and told her, now you'd think that would be the time she'd just go and get one herself, but no she says go back to room someone will come. No one ever came. Staff trail you whenever you go outside, not sure if doing so for security reasons or they want tips as they ask if you'd like them to take your photo...

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.

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.

Not a place for relaxing
Came for a recovery stay to get over our night flight and jet lag before seeing the rest of the country. The hotel rented out the pool and the area next to it to a school group so it wasn’t possible to relax and have a quiet day by the pool. The kids started coming onto our private balcony and looking into our room in the morning. Not a nice experience for a rest stay. Also you couldn’t go on the beach and have a nice walk because there were men as soon as you stepped off the hotel property trying to sell you taxis and whatever else they could think of. Just not a good start to a holiday really. Fish restaurant was good though!
