Citrus Waskaduwa

TripAdvisor Review
Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean
Wadduwa

When you visit Wadduwa on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, with its lush coconut plantations and thickly forested hillsides, it feels like you've discovered your very own exotic paradise. Sri Lanka is such an unspoilt holiday destination, you can sometimes forget anyone has ever been here before you. It's the perfect place for spectacular scenery and for beach life - Sri Lanka's beaches are some of the best in the world. The Citrus Waskaduwa Hotel looks out over the beautiful waters of the Indian Ocean...

Enjoy superb modern facilities and a beachside location at the Citrus Waskaduwa

If you want to experience a little bit of everything that Sri Lanka has to offer, then the Citrus Waskaduwa is the hotel to choose. Located on the edge of the sandy beach, it's also within easy reach of the island's capital, Colombo. If you want to head out and explore the hills and see the scenery of this part of Sri Lanka, you can. You're never far from another amazing sight.

Back at the hotel, you'll enjoy a really easy holiday. You'll be well catered for - there are two restaurants on site, and two bars, so you can enjoy a very laidback lifestyle. It's nice to structure your days around an indulgent holiday routine of morning coffee, afternoon drinks and a lavish evening meal. The hotel spa is another facility you'll want to make full use of if you really want to relax. This is your opportunity to settle back and let yourself be pampered.

You'll feel right at home in your air-conditioned room at the Citrus Waskaduwa, with a range of facilities including cable TV, telephone, safety deposit box and drinks making facilities.

The Citrus Wakaduwa also boasts a great swimming pool, a gym and a billiards room.

Disappointing Experience at Citrus Waskaduwa

Disappointing Experience at Citrus Waskaduwa

Unfortunately, my recent experience at Citrus Waskaduwa was not up to the standard I expected from a five-star hotel.

The food quality was disappointing, and some of the chicken served was not of acceptable quality. The meals overall did not meet the standard expected from a hotel of this category.

Another major disappointment was the lack of proper photographs and clear location information for some of the facilities and areas of the hotel. This made it difficult to have a clear idea of what to expect before and during the stay.

Considering the reputation and five-star positioning of Citrus Waskaduwa, I expected much better food quality, presentation, and overall experience. I hope the management will take these concerns seriously and improve the standards, particularly in the food and restaurant areas.

Overall, not a satisfactory experience and not what I expected from Citrus Waskaduwa.

Hotel Service Average

We stayed at the hotel on 22 August 2026 as a family, with our 9-month-old baby and 5-year-old child.

First of all, the welcome and overall hospitality were very good. Our room was good and the dinner was delicious, with excellent service. The staff service during dinner was truly superb. 👍

However, there were some areas that could be improved.

We were allocated Room No. 173, which was one of the rooms furthest from the restaurant. Since we were travelling with a small baby, it was quite difficult to walk that distance several times. It would be much better if families with babies or young children could be given rooms closer to the restaurant.

The biggest issue was breakfast service. Our table was not properly arranged, and while we were carrying the baby, the staff did not seem to notice or offer assistance. We had to request a baby chair ourselves. There were also not enough staff covering our area, so we had to repeatedly ask for basic things such as water and the hand-wash bowl.

When guests pay for a hotel stay, they expect comfort and attentive service without having to repeatedly ask for every small thing.

The room itself was good, but unfortunately it felt older than we expected, especially the bathroom. Considering the amount we paid, I personally did not feel fully satisfied with the overall experience.

I am sharing this feedback respectfully, not to criticize, but because the hotel has good potential. ❤️ I hope the management will look into these shortcomings and improve the service, especially during breakfast.

Overall: Good food, great dinner service and a warm welcome, but breakfast service and room allocation for families with small children need improvement.

Thank you, and I hope to have an even better experience next time. 🙏
