Jetwing Lighthouse, A Luxury Reserve

Very lovely setting, every angle carried its own natural mystic which we found truly alluring. Great photo opportunities! Very friendly & affable staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Jetwing was our last stop for three nights and it was a pleasant experience. Gorgeous views of the sea from the lobby bar and restaurant. All rooms to a high standard.

Fully satisfactory. Food was good but could be better.

Overall this was a pleasant stay largely because of the idyllic location and view out to the Indian Ocean. As at the other Jetwing we stayed at, the initial welcome is special, with cold drinks and towels while you sit in Reception ready to be checked in. Although not easily noticeable, the bathroom was showing some signs of age but still well appointed. The TV service was interrupted for a short while and the free WiFi was too weak through our wing of the hotel to get a good signal except in the Lobby area. Location is a taxi ride out from Galle city and the surroundings are typical Sri Lankan village activities, which on our short stay we did not feel the need to explore.

The Lighthouse is at a very nice location in close proximity to the old town. It definitely has seen much better days and needs urgent renovation. The main terrace area is not very inviting and looks exactly the same as 10 years ago. The rooms are outdated and in appalling conditions considering the high rating of the hotel (paint is coming of the walls&ceiling, stains on walls&ceiling, corrosion of metal pieces, door keys not functioning, ...). The staff is very friendly and helpful; they try to make the most out of the situation. The hotel would be a reasonable choice for a medium rated and moderately priced hotel. But considering the high room rates our stay was very disappointing.

Great hotel....superb location with great views from the rooms.

Hotel is very nice - right on the ocean with nice views. Room service food was excellent and staff was very friendly. Only negative was room was a bit dark (additional lighting needed). But, overall had a very nice time at hotel.

My wife and I stayed at the Jetwing Lighthouse for a week and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is well organised and the facilities like the swimming pools and gym are excellent. The beach is very rocky and due to the time of year it would have been too dangerous to venture in but there are parts that would probably be alright during the right season. The buffet breakfast is very good and includes everything you could want and the staff are attentive and could not have been more helpful. If I could find one negative I would say that the rooms are in need of some attention, they are not bad but would benefit from some aesthetic improvements, the TV was also a bit tempremental. We had a particularly brilliant Tuk Tuk driver (Eddy) who showed us the sights of Galle and took us to various other places for dinner whenever we asked him to.
