Timeless Villa

It was my girlfriend’s first time visiting Sri Lanka and Ahangama was the first place we had been on the coast since she got here. Because of this we decided to spend a bit more on a hotel for a bit of a nicer stay. However what we got from a Timeless Villa was not this. We had various basic amenities missing from our room, for example we had no hand towels and we also did not get a kettle so had to ask staff to get us one from another room. We also only had one plug point where the kettle was supposed to go so we had to unplug the fridge in order to boil the kettle. But this was just the start of our terrible experience. At breakfast I asked for an extra slice of bread and they said I would be charged for this! I think that fact alone is outrageous considering how much we were paying. We had already stayed at various hotels in Sri Lanka at this point and they were all much better in terms of both service and comfort. We paid a lot less for a lot more basically. The view, pool and convenience of the beach being there is the only thing that kept us there. We booked for 3 nights but actually wanted to leave after the first. But we didn’t want to deal with all the hassle that would involve and potentially loose out on money as we had pre paid. We did also mention our grievances to a member of staff but they were only new so we didn’t want to take it out on them. However I think they could have raised it to their managers and I think we could’ve had been compensated a bit better.

Loved the view and staff.

The staff were very friendly. Sri Lankan style. Rooms were clean and spacious. Good value for the money. The food was outstanding. Breakfast was varied and plenty. Well located to all surf breaks. The surf in front of the place was big and closed out so paddle out to the point was tough with lots of current. Surfed on Weligama a convenient 15 minutes away

Prepare to be catfished by Timeless. The images on Expedia look amazing, it looks like paradise right? Well, be prepared for it not matching up to what you expect. We booked the best room / highest price point we could, arrived, firstly where shocked by the filthy corridors, flickering lights, leaks on floors, dust everywhere, incredible amount of noise from way too many people as they allow external visitors meaning it more resembles an amusement park than the chill beachside pad you're expecting. The main issue was our room wasn't the one we booked/expected. We booked a proper sea view, and this was on top behind the restaurant, so all you can see if the restaurant roof (plus hear the insane EDM they play constantly). When asking to change/for help, management told us to take it up with Expedia. Trying to take something up with Expedia is like trying to locate the Grail. It's all Bots / zero transparency / clear path to being able to actually make contact and relay an issue. At this stage there we're 0 accommodation available so we had to stay. The rooms are big but just grey concrete, stains everywhere. Super noisy off the main road. The service in the restaurant is slow and grumpy and small portions. Strange breakfast hours (8am-10) considering it's on a surf break so a lot of surfers staying and get up early so would love a coffee. The insane amount of people at the pool and hotel makes it impossible to chill.

Ощущение что 10 тысяч из 13 полных, взяли за то что покрасили стены в бетонный цвет. Интернет работает ужасно, персонал с недовольными лицами, как будто делает тебе одолжение, нет ни кондиционера для волос, ни лосьона дл тела за эти деньги. Слышимость с улицы очень сильная, спишь под вечные песни из тук-туков и сигналы машин. За 3 недели отдыха это были самые бездарно потраченные деньги
