Club Hotel Dolphin, managed by Serendib Leisure Management and a subsidiary of Hemas Holdings Plc, brought honour to Sri Lanka by winning the ITS Red Star Award for the third consecutive year under the ITS programme managed by the REWE Group, Germany, recently.

The ITS brand has the largest hotel selection amongst the tour operators of the travel and tourism division of REWE Group. The focus of the ITS programme is on three- to four-star hotels. The ITS Red Star Award is awarded to the best and most popular 60 hotels worldwide.

The selection for the award mainly focuses on three key points – referrals from their guests, consistent high standards of service delivery and high guest satisfaction levels. By winning this award, Club Hotel Dolphin has been recognised as the very best in the country.

Club Hotel Dolphin constantly endeavours to showcase its spanking new tag line – ‘Best of Both Worlds’. The hotel has been endowed with a dual personality – a vibrant and active ‘play’ side which sharply contrasts with its peaceful and quiet ‘pause’ side. This dual concept best personifies the look and feel of the new look of the hotel.

As part of its ‘play’ side, Club Hotel Dolphin boasts of one of the longest pools in South Asia with its 10-member animation team including kids’ animators. Among the activities one can choose from are kayaking on the river, horse riding, archery, beach volleyball, tennis, badminton, squash, croquette, mini golf, water volleyball, animation shows and a discotheque.

It is this wide range of activities that helped the hotel in securing the distinction of being one of the best family hotels in Asia based on reviews on the popular travel site Trip Advisor a few years ago.

The ‘pause’ side affords visitors the peace and quiet of absolute calm and privacy. The individual villas are very private enclaves. The specialty restaurant with its show kitchen brings you gourmet cuisine while spa facilities pamper you. There is also a second swimming pool which is a designated quiet pool while special candle-lit private dinners can be arranged at any location of your choice.

REWE Group is a multi-national company. The travel arm – REWE Touristik - is one of the largest German Tour Operators and is an important partner of the Serendib Leisure Group.

Avani Bentota Resort & Spa, Avani Kalutara Resort and Hotel Sigiriya are the other properties managed by Serendib Leisure Management Ltd.

A subsidiary of Hemas Holdings Plc, Serendib Leisure Management always ensures a holiday worth writing home about.
