The Oasis Beach Resort Hambantota

Review by hotel critic

Nestled along the serene shores of Hambantota, the Oasis presents an intriguing blend of luxury and value for discerning travelers. During my week-long stay, I found the spacious rooms well-equipped with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and free toiletries, catering to essential comfort without ostentation. The on-site restaurant offered a delightful array of Sri Lankan cuisine, although options were somewhat limited. A warm welcome drink greeted me upon arrival, setting a positive tone, while the attentive staff made logistics seamless, easily arranging taxis and tuk tuks whenever needed. For beach enthusiasts, direct access to the shore provides a calm retreat, though it's worth noting that swimming may not be ideal. The outdoor swimming pool and manicured garden area enhance the relaxation opportunities, complemented by a small fitness room and the chance for some light-hearted competition with squash and table tennis. Value seekers will appreciate the hotel’s 24-hour reception and free Wi-Fi in rooms, enhancing the overall experience. While the Oasis may not extravagantly showcase its luxury, it certainly fulfills expectations for comfort and hospitality, making it a thoughtful choice for those wishing to unwind in a tranquil setting without overspending.
