The Garden Resort by the sea

Pegasus Reef Hotel
Carson and Cumberbatch, the managing company of Pegasus Reef Hotel, Hendala, Wattala redefined the concept of a city resort beach hotel after the extensive refurbishment to give the guests the option to customise and personalise their experience on a beach that is in its golden best facing the Indian Ocean. The coconut palm garden provides the world weary traveller with an ideal setting to relax while the distant blue ocean and the horizon are an absolute food for the soul.
Sit out at the private balcony or terrace and see how the shadows gently lengthen and watch the sun going beneath the horizon leaving you and the entire country in darkness. As darkness deepens you could see the glittering lights of the Colombo Harbour and also the glittering stars above reminiscing you a star studded galaxy.
Perched in close proximity to the capital city and a few minutes drive away from the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) and the Free Trade Zone (FTZ), Pegasus Reef is one of the best transit hotels for the business travellers and the leisure travellers.
With the refurbishment Pegasus Reef introduces a new level of luxury accommodation in all the 107 spacious deluxe rooms in three different wings. The beach, garden and the pool wings face the respective directions and the main highlights in all these rooms are that all the four star comforts are available in the rooms. All are equipped with central air-conditioning, TV, telephone, mini bar, safety lockers, internet connections, hot/cold bath and private balcony/terrace.
For guests seeking a more adventurous and fun filled experience Pegasus Reef has a host of activities not only for the adults but also for the hotels youngest guests as well.
The recreation facilities provided by the hotel are the fully equipped gym, squash, tennis, beach volleyball, table tennis, and chess. The hotel also employs a full time animator and organises different animations programmes throughout the week. The residential conference facilities could be provided in all four conference halls and all the conference equipment too are provided by the hotel.
The open air restaurant with 150-200 covers has become very popular among the guests. All three meals are buffet while the breakfast layout is a combination of eastern and western food, from cereal to toast and ‘Kola Kenda’ to fresh fruit juices.
Lunch buffet is a touch of Sri Lankan and international combination and the Sri Lankan food is cooked in clay pots.
Apart from the dinner buffet, for those who prefer to taste a different taste of food could be ordered from the available a-la-carte or set menu. Live bands keep the guests spellbound on Fridays and Saturdays during dinner time and the weekend special lunch buffet is very popular among the guests.
The hotel hopes to introduce a sea food night, BBQ, and Grill nights in future as there is a high demand from the guests.
A state –of- the- art laundry which has the capacity to give a good service to outsiders is a special feature.
The hotel’s three bars, the lobby, piano and the pool bar serves different cocktails, fresh juices, foreign and local spirits and non alcoholic beverages to quench the thirst of its guests.
