• Club Dolphin lies in a very quiet beach location near to a fishing village with a few scattered shops and restaurants nearby. A huge amount of sand has recently been put on the beach for landscaping. The sea can however be a bit too rough for comfortable swimming.

In A Nutshell: Club Dolphin was Sri Lanka’s first All Inclusive resort, and is still the best known as it usually offers great package rates. Its also one of the few beach properties in Sri Lanka with an option of cottage style accommodation. The beaches are much better in the southern resorts of the island, but unlike these, Waikkal has the benefit of quick and easy transfers to Colombo Airport (max 40 mins) compared to the 3 hours or more it takes to go to the southern beaches.
Tips: The 'New Wing' Deluxe Rooms are recommended. Excursions can be easily arraged via shops nearby. They are honest, reliable and much cheaper than booking through any tour operator or from the hotel travel counter.
Club Dolphin is perhaps the best known All Inclusve beach resort hotel in Sri Lanka. The main feature is an enoumous pool, one of the largest in Asiathat winds it way around the hotel. The hotel complex sprawls on 20 acres of coconut groves with a mixture of cottages (rare in Sri Lanka) and Deluxe Rooms in the main hotel blocks that overlook the pool.
