Pegasus Reef - A Beach Resort in Colombo

We came for wedding and we felt very good in the hotel - everything was perfect: room, bathroom clean, TV and wifi working, breakfast, lunch, dinner, the restaurant, the bar and cocktails - superb. The pool - excellent. Close to the ocean to try - how is it to swim there. Helpful staff, great opportunity to have perfect massage treatment. Close to Colombo, helpful guy Banda (not from the hotel) took us for private shopping treat- have a good health, Banda! Wedding management did run well - on the beach we experienced marvellous Sri Lankan traditional wedding with 100+ guests. Everything was great and we're coming back - great value for money. It was a real Paradise!

The Pegasus Reef Hotel got better and better as one went deeper inside. We reached in the late evening and went directly to dinner in the restaurant outside. As soon as we stepped outside, we could hear Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart being sung by a gentleman really really beautifully. We walked down the pathway listening to the beautiful singing looking at the sea ahead of us . It looked like most of the people had gone to the Buffet restaurant inside because only we were there for dinner. We enjoyed selecting our fish and the Manager and the Chefs were kind enough to make dishes for us which were not on the menu. While we waited for the food to be cooked we enjoyed the cool sea breeze and the beautiful singing of the young lady along with the gentleman's. I very badly wanted him to sing Billy Ray's song again but he sang other great songs . Food was very good and we enjoyed talking to the restaurant staff. After dinner we checked into our 3 rooms. I initially was pretty unhappy thinking we were being given some basement room. It was only in the morning daylight when I moved the curtains aside that I realized that we were in the ground floor rooms and could just walk out of our rooms and have tea sitting on the chairs provided outside or even just walk to the sea a little ahead. Having the sea at one's backyard can't be topped : ) I hope that in future all this is pointed out to the guests when they check in at night time. All the trees added to the beauty outside. My brother went for a morning walk outside the hotel and saw a crocodile where fishing boats were moored in the inlet. Breakfast was an extensive buffet with live counters for eggs, hoppers and roti. Other than the many other dishes and cut fruit and juices were provided. The Pegasus Reef was an excellent introduction to our Sri Lanka trip. The staff was very helpful. All I can say is that we should have stayed for at least 2 nights.

I was looking for a relaxing 4 days after India and Pegasus certainly lived up to that. I needed somewhere where everything was on hand which it was. The room was spacious and clean. I opted for the breakfast and evening meal option, I am glad I did as it’s was a real smorgasbord for the money paid and well worth it with soooo many options. I was a little reluctant to try out the fish restaurant on site initially for lunch as I know from past experiences they charge like a wounded bull ! How wrong was I , good value for money for what was on order and the service first class. A really nice experience was had and to top it off finding a marvellous taxi driver named Jude who was amazing and still calls me for a chat now, god bless him.

The food in their Fishery restaurant was excellent. Staff were friendly and very attentive. The hotel grounds were very interesting and it was nice to have access to a pool as well as to be near the sea. We tasted tea made from curry leaves for the first time, and it was delicious.

Hotel staff were extremely helpful. The pool area and restaurant area are nice with a short walk to the beach. Room was cozy and spacious. It made a world of a difference since we came from a cramped room in Singapore which cost double this price. Breakfast had large selection of Sri Lankan items, if you like Sri Lankan food. Staff were attentive.
