Stayed at Insight Hotel in Ahangama for two nights whilst on a tour of Sri Lanka. Hotel located right on a beautiful sandy white beach. Minimal tourists/locals on the beach whilst we were there. Rooms and bathrooms are average - but clean and more than adequate (with a great view of that beach from a decent sized balcony). Air-conditioning was... More

This could be a great hotel. It's in a lovely location on a great stretch of beach however the rooms don't stand up to the idyllic location. Each time we left our room we'd duck underneath the parade of ants on our doorframe then spend a few minutes picking the jumpers off. Rooms are very basic, hostel standard - sheets... More

We stayed at the Insight hotel when Tsunami Alarm was given (April 11, 2012). The management and staff were the first to leave. No coordinated evacuation plan. Guests left behind uninformed in their hotel rooms etc...Simply inacceptable! Thanks to the help of the guard who left last, we got to a safe place.

No Wi-Fi today but tomorrow. Helpful staff. Cuisine, so-so (buffet-style) and smoking allowed in the dining room. A/C & fan in the self-contained, not so clean rooms; mosquito net over beds; two free bottles of water every day in each room. No TV but 24-7 insect documentary in the WC and a friendly gecko in the room. Swimming pool. Next... More

Honestly, this was the worst of the many hotels I stayed in in Sri Lanka. I had ti search for staff in mid-afternoon. When I checked into my room, the bathroom was crawling with ants, and I do not mean just a few, but a few thousand! The rest of the room is very basic, with no phone for emergencies.... More

The location is one of the best ever. Its on an isolated sandy strip. Unlike many boutique hotels with luxuries but crowded urban beaches, Ahangama is an area where disturbance is minimal. For sea bathers there is a coral strip up to which bathing is easy. The hotel is a very average one with basic facilities. The rooms are poorly... More

Really enjoyed our stay at Insight Resort. The hotel and its grounds are lovely - over looking the beach, and the stilt fisherman, great rooms, great pool, nice little area to play cricket! The whole restaurant is open air, which is lovely at night as you can hear the waves crashing on the shore... just a bit frustrating with all... More

We've spent 10 days in this hotel in January, 2012. It was one of the few hotels that had available rooms at high season on Christmas / New Year holidays. We didn't expect much from a 2-star hotel, so we were not disappointed. If you are a fan of Ultra-All-Inclusive hotels in Turkey or Egypt, don't go to this hotel.... More
