Club Hotel Dolphin first to get HolidayCheck 2012 Award

Club Hotel Dolphin has been bestowed with the prestigious HolidayCheck Award 2012 for being one of 99 most popular hotels worldwide in the ‘Beach Holiday’ category in January 2012.

A part of the Serendib Leisure Group, it is the only hotel in Sri Lanka to win the HolidayCheck Award and HolidayCheck Top Hotel prize – both of which were awarded at the ITB, the world’s leading travel trade-show which was held early March 2012 in Berlin. The hotel is managed by Serendib Leisure Management, which is a subsidiary of the diversified Hemas Group of Companies.

HolidayCheck officials cited “extraordinary performance exceeding guests’ expectations regarding great products and perfect service on a daily basis – an effort that reflects in hotel reviews” as the main criteria for the hotel’s selection.

The HolidayCheck Award is awarded to the 99 most popular hotels worldwide. The winners were decided based on over 530,000 genuine reviews received in 2011. This accolade reaffirms the superior service levels provided by the hotel staff, which is the prime reason for the large number of repeat tourists who keep coming back to the hotel.

Ranil de Silva, Managing Director – Serendib Leisure, commented on the accolade: “We are extremely delighted to be awarded the HolidayCheck 2012 Award and HolidayCheck Top Hotel prize under the ‘Beach Holiday’ category! Being chosen as a recipient of this award reaffirms the uniqueness of our resort property and our pursuit of excellence in guest relations. This award will ensure that Club Hotel Dolphin becomes the first choice as the best beach holiday destination in the world.”

Club Hotel Dolphin is situated at Waikkal and is easily accessible from the international airport and the commercial capital of Colombo. The hotel features two swimming pools, pool-side bars and a bar/lounge offering signature cocktails and cuisine.

Recreational amenities include an outdoor pool and a fitness facility, along with a host of indoor and outdoor activities. There is also a full-service health spa on-site. The property also has a well appointed business centre and 151 air-conditioned rooms and villas with all modern amenities.
