Hikkaduwa hotels

Pros: Very clean and tidy. Good location, shops and restaurants walking distance.

Pros: Everything was perfect. Villa is on silent place but is near the centre and beach. Room was big and very clean. Garden and swimming pool was very clean too. The stuff was frinedly and they help us with everything. Breakfast was good. This accomodation was one of the best in Sri lanka

Pros: We found The Oasis Villa to be a pleasant place to spend our time in Hikkaduwa. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The property including pool was kept very clean. Room sizes were large and the bathrooms were also of a generous size. Breakfasts were tasty and plentiful. It exceeded our expectations given the reasonable room rate.

Cons: I can't think of anything I didn't like about Oasis.

Pros: Great location, very kind and helpful staff, beautiful surrounding, big and comfortable room with huge balcony, very easy access to the beach, great breakfast, clean swimming pool.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Perfect location on the opposite side of the street from the beach. Directly across the street from an access pathway to the beach. Lovely pool. Huge villa style room with kitchen. Delicious and large breakfast.

Cons: The power went out and there was no generator (wasn’t too bad because at least there was a full moon that night) lots of mosquitos on the main level in the lobby.

Pros: The staff here are so genuinely lovely, could not do enough to make sure our stay was perfect. We arrived early in the morning and they were so welcoming and even offered us breakfast! They gave us a room to change while we waited for ours to be ready. The place is super clean, the breakfast was excellent. Location is perfect for beach, restaurants and turtles - owner told us where to see them and we were not disappointed. The pool was lovely and so clean, rooms were big and spacious which can be rare in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend. Excellent value for money.

Pros: The facilities were wonderful, the design and size of the rooms just perfect. Everything was pristine clean. It is a 3 minuten walk from the beach. The staff were super helpful and kind. The owner Kingsy was also extremely helpful and welcoming. A top notch accommodation for more than reasonable price.

Cons: Everything was wonderful.

Pros: I really recommend this place for staying. - clean and refreshing pool - good breakfast - kitchen in the room to cook - enough place for parking - close to the beach and supermarket - you may pay be card w/o any comission

Cons: - a little bit dirty kitchen - we asked one more bed sheet and a blanket, and they were pretty smelly

Pros: The Pool and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Cons: Nothing

Pros: When we where in hikkaduwa it was off season, so I'm generally there weren't many guest in this city. This was one the hotels that had more guest than other hotel. The guest were a mix of Sri Lanken and travellers. We got an upgrade, so we got a view to the beach. The staff is friendly and helpfull. The room is very tastefully decorated and the room was big. I loved the romantic four-posted bed. There is a garden where you can sit and meet other people.The hotel also has a restaurant but closed because of off season. A place to relax and explore the city and beach activities.

Pros: The place is lovely and the staffs are very helpful.

Pros: The room we stayed was massive, the balcony goes around the room. The seating at the balcony was very relaxing. I like the theme colors of the place. Staff were friendly and welcoming us with the king coconut

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The family at Neela’s were wonderful. So helpful & friendly. I stayed during off season so it was very quiet and the restaurant was closed however Chamara & the team went out of their way to make sure I had supplies in my room and was well looked after. Most certainly will be back.

Pros: all the facilities and the room arrangements were vry clean and the staff were very good at their service..... had a great time there....thank you Neela Rest

Cons: no food shops nearby

Pros: Great beachfront location, the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful, room was beautiful and clean. We loved the coconut on arrival too. Perfect experience here! Best guest house in Sri Lanka.

Pros: very nice and clean rooms(i would say that one of the most clean rooms we had in sri lanka), friendly staffs always smiling,near the ocean, near the city...

Cons: that one huge spider on the wall haha

Pros: Delightful homestay run by a family for 40 + years. My room is beautiful with comfortable bed. I found the host very friendly and informative - with specific interest in the environment. Lovely touches like coconut (with metal straw!) On arrival, bookshelf and stash of sunscreen. Felt safe as a solo female.

Pros: Nice place,big room, very clean, very friendly stuff ( Hi, Ranga)

Pros: Best staff ever and the rooms ware super clean!

Pros: Ranga and the rest of the staff are the best people. Nice, clean rooms in a quiet part of Hikkaduwa. Great breakfast as well. We loved staying here.

Pros: Staff was amazing, location was perfect and foe breakfast you could choose between several delicious variations. Mit

Cons: We had a Kingroom which was directly next to the reception and breakfast place which is why we always had to close the curtains complety.

Pros: Beautiful spacious room with a nice view from the private balcony. Charming and calm location at 4 min walking distance to the Hikkaduwa main street and beach. Very nice staff. Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious

Cons: The only thing I disliked was the bedsheets. Of course they were washed but they still had some visible stains from previous guests on it.

Pros: It was the best hotel we stayed at during 4 weeks in Sri Lanka. Beautiful and spacious rooms, very modern bathrooms, super friendly staff and comfy beds. It was absolutely perfect!

Cons: Wish we stayed longer.

Pros: Top Spot, directly at the Beach, super cute House and couple who hosts you so nice!!

Cons: Nothing to complain about, only a little too high priced

Pros: The whole experience was great. The couple who own the oriental rest and their chef were always helpful and polite. The breakfast and meals provided for us in the evenings were both excellent and good value. The sun loungers and umbrellas on a well designed terrace raised above the edge of the beach were of good quality. The Beach here is very quiet and swimming in the sea was great.The covered area was a good spot for meals and again looked out over the ocean. The palm trees in the garden area were lovely and gave extra shade. Our room was clean and tidy and was serviced regularly it had a nice shaded terrace with views to the ocean through the palms. Shower and a/c were both of a good standard (the bathroom having been updated fairly recently). The property is a lovely walk along the beach (about 3.5km) to the center of Hikkaduwa with numerous places to eat and drink on the way. Because all four rooms are facing the beach the sound of the waves overrides most road noise and so we slept really well. This is an older property that has been very tastefully updated with some lovely artistic touches.

Pros: It is great that the hotel is a bit far from the crazy center of Hikkaduwa with ongoing party, the sound of ocean is clear and you can hear it even in your room. The owner and his wife are keeping the place clean and neat, they have a nice old-man who is a Chef and he knows how to cook tuna in a way that you would be ready to die for another piece of it. Cozy rooms, A/C set perfect and keeps the room cool enough, clean and very good shower room, the chairs right by the room make it more comfortable for you, if you wish to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening.

Pros: Staff and location

Cons: This is not good location during off season

Pros: Great location on the beach. Wonderful hosts who really went out their way to make our stay comfortable. Upon request They arranged for a airport transfer from Colombo airport and a 2 wheeler to get around town. It’s small property with only 4 rooms with plenty of privacy and personal attention by the hosts. Special mention must be made of the delicious breakfast they serve consisting of an assorted fruit platter, yogurt with honey and eggs and toast. Great value for money!!

Pros: Villa right at the beach - you feel like in paradise! Located in a quieter area, you are just a one-minute tuk tuk ride away from the main beach. Very clean beach, relaxed atmosphere. The host and his wife and staff are welcoming you like their own family and you do really feel that you arrived in a place with lots of positive energy. There is a security guard making you feel safe all night (and meanwhile being very discrete) and the chef cooks delicious dinner (for example fresh seafood cought by a friend). Extremely clean. You can also book tours, diving and a taxi. The host really goes the extra mile to provide VIP feeling! If you go to Hikkaduwa, you MUST stay here!!!

Cons: -

Pros: Beautiful location, helpful staff and the owner. They still clean up and want to do everything you see in your eyes. Breakfast overlooking the ocean was wonderful. We thank you for everything.

Cons: Big waves in the ocean. No bars and restaurants around the Oriental rest. To Hikkaduwa city center by tuk tuk for 200 LKR.

Pros: We are so happy we choose this place for our stay in Hikkaduwa , the villa was amazing with a stunning sea view , away from the center so the beach was all ours . the place is run by a local family , a very nice couple who made feel like we where home , it was very clean and confortable . we loved the breakfast at the terrasse , food was delicious and the chef was very nice , he made whatever we asked for . we had an amazing stay and will definitely recommande this place to our friends and of course we will go back !

Pros: Lovely place with an amazing staff and breakfast. Excellent location,clean,quite and calm relaxing place. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed well. The renovations have only been done recently and the design is amazing. A friendly staff and breakfast was great. I would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Great location with direct view with sea, excellent breakfirst. Very nice couple provide heartwarming service.

Cons: might be better if every room can receive Wifi.

Pros: Pool immaculate and clean Breakfast was plentiful fruit juice was lovely and the scrambled eggs were delicious Staff were all friendly and the grounds were pwell maintained Good fridge in room

Cons: The Mrs prefers a softer mattress

Pros: It was very clean and the staff was very friendly. Always pleased to make us feel comfortable.

Cons: A bit offside. That’s good for relaxing but you have to walk a bit to get to the beach. Scooter rental from hotel is no Problem (about 1.000 rupees per day). You can also eat at the hotel.

Pros: Very quiet, very clean.

Cons: Nothing, all good.

Pros: Great little place, immaculately clean and very well run

Pros: This hotel is a slice of heaven! We stayed for 5 nights at the end of our trip and id love to go back and spend 2 weeks at This hotel. The place is spotless and really well maintained. We stayed in a gorgeous room looking out over the pool which was super clean. The staff are so friendly and helpful and even Kevin(the dog) was our best friend in no time. It's a short tuk tuk ride or 20 min walk to the main town/beach which is full of nice restaurants and shops! I'd highly recommend this hotel and hope to go back and visit soon.

Pros: The accommodation the facilities the food were wonderful owner and staff very friendly and polite Nothing was to much Will go again

Cons: Nothing it was almost perfect.

Pros: Absolutely amazing paradise in the jungle, yet near the beach and restaurants. Only short tuktuk ride away. Super quiet and comfortable.  The staff is so nice and everywhere is spotless clean. Breakfast was great, and we had also a few good lunches by the pool. The place is so small, that you get to know all the quests and staff, which was great. The staff would do anything for you. I heard the suites are awesome, but our villa was just perfect. Also the place looked better in real life than in the pictures.

Pros: Everything was perfect, we really enjoyed our stay in this hotel. We had a room on the first floor with the terrace - the room was even better than we expected, comfortable and clean. We had very good breakfasts, and had no doubt that in the restaurant was served only fresh food, that’s why if we had a chance we prefered to have our meal there, prices were acceptable. The staff of the hotel is amazing, very honest, patient, flexible and attentive to every guest, we’ve been really surprised looking how carefully everyone was doing his job. If we had any problem, it was fixed immediately. The manager gave us some good recommendations about places to see, we realized that his options were optimal in terms of quality and price. The location of the hotel is perfect - it is surrounded by nature, very calm and quite atmosphere, however it is close to Hikkaduwa with good infrastructure (you can get to it by Tuk-Tuk), the beach is 15 minutes walk, and the beach is good, long and wide. If we come back to Sri Lanka, we’ll choose this hotel.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The view from our suite was amazing, wild peacocks, all varieties of birds and monkeys. Lovely modern , clean place with friendly efficient staff. Security was good as the place is quite remote but only a short cheap tuk ride to beach ,shops,, restuarants or railway station. Allowed to stock fridge with your own drinks. Perfect place for us !

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: We had a fantastic stay at Vesma Villas. The hotel and facilities were wonderful and the staff was really the best. -So thoughtful and friendly. We can definitely recommend the property!!

Pros: The room was beautiful, the tall ceiling made it feel very spacious. Lovely bathroom with bath tub. Great balcony. The swimming pool was excellent, right on the beach :) would highly recommend.

Cons: The WiFi was really quite terrible.

Pros: the room, the pool, fantastic beach. Breakfast was excellent.

Cons: Dinner did not meet the standard of breakfast.

Pros: Amazing hotel all round

Pros: The room was very spacious, bathroom was beautiful. The view from the room was amazing and beach was just few meters from the property.

Cons: Bathroom could do with more lighting.

Pros: Amazing location. Extremely interesting concept when it comes to architecture and interior design. Amazing cuisine, especially the Sri Lankan menu. In general the place is a gem.

Cons: There was no reception 24/7, maybe because it was low season. Staff's knowledge of English very basic.

Pros: Staff were very good and helpful. Room upgrade was great. Only issue front door was rubbing and handle fell off.

Cons: Front door to Room.

Pros: The pool was lovely and staff super helpful

Cons: The WiFi didn’t work or was very very slow

Pros: It is amazing place, very peaceful and calm, with direct access to almost empty beach. It is not another "corporate" hotel. Due to owner and his staff, this place has a soul. If you are looking for family hotel, Pearl Island is definitely for you.

Pros: Very nice views, staff extremely professional, very helpful, very good fresh food

Cons: Room should be cleaned at least at least every second day

Pros: Location was OK. Breakfast was very good.

Cons: Pictures are deceitful. The bathroom didn't have a shower curtain and the sink got clogged. Bed sheets were tiny. We stayed 2 nights and didn't get bed made. Most staff members didn't speak English.

Pros: Great Location, owner very helpful and friendly, other staff where great

Cons: The manager was a very bad communicator, and got us a driver that was just as bad, did not know where he was taking us

Cons: Accommodation was very poor and dated. The photos were very inaccurate. I had booked the deluxe room which was far from deluxe! It was very dussapounting and we were surprised to discover the hotel a short walk from Pearl Island, which happens to be newly built and to excellent standards would have cost almost the same price as the room I had booked. I would not recommend this hotel.

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful and the location was great! Close enough to the main strip of restaurants and shops but far away enough to be quiet and the beach in front of the hotel was lovely.

Pros: The pool was superb and location to beach, town and shops excellent. Beach was the best we’ve seen in Sri Lanka - Hikkaduwa is beautiful Fridge in room was a bonus. Breakfast was lovely - we ordered Sri Lankan breakfast, and note that if you want this you must advise staff the day before. Coffee the best we’ve had. Can recommend the fresh and light noodles and rice for dinner.

Cons: A couple of issues in bathroom which I’m sure will be fixed for future guests. Ground floor rooms quite exposed so had to have curtains closed which then made room dark. No kettle in room which for price was disappointing. Overall a good stay but our expectations were higher based on price.

Pros: On the beach with a very good outdoor pool,staff we’re very helpful and polite, food was very good for the money. If you needed anything you only had to ask and they would help enjoyed our stay very much

Cons: Dogs can bit noisy early morning, but that seems to be the normal everywhere

Pros: Great welcome by Peter and the rest of the staff. Room and bathroom was big and clean. Excellent location if you choose to relax and if you choose to be busy (10min walking towards bars & restaurant)

Pros: We stayed in an Ac room with hot water. Great water pressure. Clean large room with coffee making facilities and a fridge. The pool is gorgeous and really clean. The breakfast was the best of the trip so far. They served perfectly cooked eggs and bacon(bacon!!! We couldn’t believe it!!)

Cons: It’s next to a large pond so it’s very mossie heavy. The cleaner leaves the cleaning stuff (and there’s a lot. Buckets, mops, large hoover etc) strewn outside your balcony or on the lawn from 9am onwards which looks unsightly as you step over it and also when it’s only early it makes you feel pressured for no reason.

Pros: budget hotel

Cons: dirty rooms. not maintained. not well staffed. no toiletries provided.

Pros: The atmosphere was great and the location was excellent. Very homely....

Cons: The pool and the area was lovely

Pros: Very welcoming and friendly staff. Recieved welcome drinks on arrival. Facilities were clean and the staff went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Great breakfast with fresh fruits and fresh juice (really made just few seconds before serving - I could hear the sound of mixer every morning)

Pros: I liked that it has a pool

Cons: Rooms and especially bathroom could have been a bit cleaner

Pros: Nice place and clam environment. the place was near to the beach area. swimming pool was really good and we have enjoyed the stay. owners and staff was very helpful. value for money

Cons: some of the things can improve more. but overall nothing

Pros: Very nice place, big and comfortable room

Pros: clean.

Cons: They were not prepared when i have arrived. No breakfast. Tried to call the property asking for breakfast. No one answered. They took half an hour to find the key for my room.

Pros: Very welcoming staff. Excellent service. The room was spacious and clean. The restaurant is one of the best in the area.

Pros: Stayed in Jasmine room. Large room with balcony overlooking the lake. Large bathroom with bath and shower plus his and hers sinks. Breakfast very good. Pool clean and good size. Very good meals and snacks. Very enjoyable stay.

Pros: A cut above the rest, it’s a credit to Dale and his team that they manage to maintain their high standard all year round and have done for as long as I have been visiting Hikkaduwa which is over 9 years

Pros: The location, the cleanliness, well maintained garden with beautiful Flowers and Trees the Swimming Pool the fresh cooked food, very happy with the service, we will return. An excellent Boutique Hotel, around and about the Asian Jewel, there are many birds to spot, if you are interested in Birds.

Pros: It was a truly memorable stay at Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel. We went on a family trip and stayed one night there. The staff was so nice and polite. They were always helpful. We stayed in Kingfisher room which was very clean and had a private balcony with a great view of the nearby lake. Room was spacious enough. The neighborhood was calm and quiet. They had a little but clean pool at the front. The food was great and we got to know that their restaurant is much popular for nice food.

Cons: It would have been great if there was a shower cubicle in the bath and coupe of arm chairs in the room, but these are just minor points when you consider the great service provided by the hotel and its staff.

Pros: Location is beautiful and staff excellent, led by English owner, Dale. Tea/coffee making facility and also has a safe, balcony and excellent shower. Restaurant serves the best food we had in Sri Lanka. We ate dinner there twice. Extensive menu with local and western dishes.

Cons: No eggs for breakfast one morning as they had run out, even though only 2 rooms occupied. We were not offered a breakfast box on last morning when we had to leave for the airport at 7.30. A lot of noise (3 out of 5 nights) til 1am due to a nearby wedding.

Pros: We have eaten at the restaurant of the Asian Jewel for some years but this is the first time we have stayed in the hotel. It delivered everything we have come to expect. Probably the best Hotel / Restaurant combo in the Hikkaduwa area. Staff are exceptional as is the overall service.

Cons: Nothing, our stay exceeded our expectations in pretty much every department

Pros: We’ve been to Sri Lanka many times and stayed in many different places but this easily ranks as one of the favourites, so much so we’ve returned 3 times. Beautiful setting, excellent rooms, brilliant staff and very very tasty food.

Pros: Quite simply this was the best hotel we stayed in on our month trip to Sri Lanka. The room was large, clean and well equipped, the bathroom had all the hot water you could wish for. The Hotel pool was perfect for a swim or just to relax around on a "day off". The restaurant served fantastic food, so good in fact we ate ever meal in it during our stay. All in all a wonderful stay, if your reading this review then just book this place, you won't regret it.

Pros: Highly recommended for couple who are looking for some alone time!

Pros: Great location, right on the beach. Really helpful staff.

Cons: The wifi could have been better.

Pros: The room was clean and very cute with an amazing beach view, meals were delicious and staffs were really friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Cons: None

Pros: Always clean, quiet.

Cons: Pool on wrong side of property.

Pros: Really nice place right at the beach! Breakfast was delicious and the view was amazing!

Cons: Air conditioning was really loud so we needed to turn it off for nights so we could sleep. Otherwise everything else was great!

Pros: Me and my mom absolutely loved the hotel and it’s location. It is located right on the beach. The food was delicious. The stuff was very friendly and helpful and we got to know a lot about their culture by asking questions and being curious. Very lovely and nice hotel. Extra thank you again for the stuff for all the help! Would come back for sure:)

Cons: The furniture look old and the shower very weak, the bed comfort is ok but really look like a guest home more than a hotel

Pros: Sanje was a gentleman. Great fun. The manager was welcoming and sought to our needs.

Cons: The pool just wasn't appealing. Also a little pricey in all honesty. Probably 25percent too pricey.

Pros: Staff was very friendly. The hotel is very quite and comfortable in a busy town. You can enjoy a relaxing time there.

Cons: Wifi need to be better. Travellers need to connect to the world.

Pros: Rooms very spacious clean Excellent service food was excellent

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The beach and pool areas are great, lots of sun beds and space to hang out. Good location, within a walking distance from Hikkaduwa bus station(I was travelling with a large backpack). Really nice service and really good food on the seafood restaurant. Breakfast was abundant, and also served local yummies like egg hoppers and curries.

Cons: My room was a bit dated and dark, also no soundproofing. The people staying above me were streaming some comedy in their balcony and kept me awake for hours.

Pros: We stayed there just one day & the stay was perfect. Dinner buffet wasn’t the best in terms of the spread But the breakfast buffet was Amazing!! Staff was very helpful & I must mention “ INDUNIL “ who was working at the restaurant. His service was outstanding!!

Cons: We were provided twin beds instead of double bed. They made it together, but it wasn’t that comfortable

Pros: Amazing breakfast! Really nice pool and outdoor sunbathing facilities and bar. All the staff really friendly!

Pros: The room was comfortable . Buffet was really Good. The beach is beautiful , Free turtle watching near the hotel and free to take photos of turtles . best place to enjoy with kids.

Cons: Beach Boys near the hotel trying to make fake business useing the Turtles on the beach. Turtles are free to watch and feed . Dont pay money any people for turtle watching . Enjoy Nature !

Pros: I thought all of the staff and facilities were great! As well as the Dining facilitie. As well as the ambience.

Cons: The only issue I had was in my room there ants above the mini bar area and on top of the restroom counters.

Cons: Had to wait in the lobby on our only sunny day there to continually dispute their tries at transferring us to another hotel despite our wishes to stay with this hotel, the hotel we booked 11 days prior and called three hours before to confirm that all was ready. We called three hours in advance only because we had read reviews online that the hotel chain called Cinnamon Hotels which Chaaya Tranz Hikkaduwa is a part of, often over books their locations and tries to excitedly "upgrade" guests to a different hotel, despite their wishes. After continual disputes making our long start at the hotel extremely unpleasant, especially after a long day of travelling, we were finally given a room. After that point, we enjoyed our stay, the beautiful views, the pleasant staff, and beachside.

Pros: All was exceptional.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Lovely staff, lovely food, beautiful view

Cons: They recommend to use the dehumidifier, but it was too noisy. Use a lot of plastic, need a little more awareness of conservation

Pros: The breakfast buffet was outstanding and exceeded our expectations. The pool area was in good condition and well taken of, kind of compensated for the strong currents preventing serious swimming in the ocean. The hotel counter staff was friendly and competent.

Cons: Some of the room service staff members may not be up to their job, since the cleanliness was partly lacking and it seemed the 'please clean up the room' sign at the door was sometimes mistaken for 'do not disturbe'. The house maintenance service is clearly inspired by local standards, not westen standards, when it comes to small repairs and how fixtures should be taken care of. The house would certainly win, if this short comings could be mended by better training of the relevant staff.

Pros: Great staff, great facilities. Very clean and comfortable room. The standard and host outweigh by far the very acceptable noises

Cons: The noises of the passing train (not often) and the car noises.

Pros: - I am just in love with the place. If I had to choose a room from all the stays we've been to where I had to live, it would be this one. - The room is huge & spacious, you feel like in an apartment. - There was a balcony where you could put the table and chairs you had in your room. - There is a wardrobe & places where you can put your stuff - Beautiful & big mirrors - The bed is super comfortable. - As it is really new, it is so clean! - Simple & effective design - Breakfast prepared on time, served to our room - exceptional! - The staff is just the sweetest. Helped us with everything and even let us be in the room after the check out time which I appreciated since the train was later. - It's close to beach

Cons: - Maybe a plate with fruit for breakfast would be nice :) (Anyway the sandwiches we had the first day were the best we had in Sri Lanka!)

Pros: Very large and nice room (one of the largest on Srí Lanka). Beach and lagoon is near, town center 15 min of foot. Terrace is situated on main road. Less rich breakfast.

Pros: Super nice and friendly stuff! They helped us with everything we needed and answered all my questions;) Provided good breakfast any time you need it. And even internet, it was said on Booking.com that they don’t have it, but the owner was so great and he provided internet for us as well!!! We enjoyed our stay there everyday! Highly recommend!

Pros: Everything is perfect in there. New hotel who looks perfect. The room is awesome and so big. Balcony also. Inside AC is perfect without noise. Room very well and bathroom awesome. Internet okay and hot water too. I have been welcomed very well and much more with an orange juice and good advices. Beach is around 20 meters. This is a new building and they project a restaurant on the floor. You can check without hesitation you will not be disappointed you will find this place so gooooood! Thanks Booking and thanks Sri Lankan people

Pros: We felt very welcomed. You get welcome drink and breakfast straight to your beautifully decorated and spacious room. Bed is huge and very comfortable. The Villa Marina is still in process of building, but you can't even feel it in the room. The staff was present all the time and the hospitality was incredible, we were even given bottle of water at the end of our stay, which was exactly what we needed for our journey by bus to another destination. The property is just a few meters from bus stop and Thiranagama railway station. There is also better shop nearby to buy things like sunscreen or repellent.

Pros: We were the first guests in this lovely family-run guesthouse. The level of service and attention to detail was impeccable! It was the cleaniest and nicest place we stayed in during our visit to Sri Lanka. We had the choice of either a western or local breakfast every morning which was served directly to our room. Exceptional!

Pros: We didn't see many reviews so we were apprehensive, but we are so glad we booked here. It's a new place so the downstairs common area is unfinished, but the rooms themselves we're the best we had in South East Asia. Spacious, stylish, and clean. Plus the bed was so comfortable we stayed in bed for an entire afternoon! Highly recommend.

Cons: The building is still under renovations.

Pros: Villa Marina has a really nice host! He helped us much and answered all our questions. The breakfast was good and different every morning. The Beach is very close! And close to the hotel you can find a Bus stop and grocery store. The hotel is very new and the bath is big and very clean as well as the hole room!

Cons: The Wi-Fi connection was not so good, but the host did his best to improve it. The close road and train tracks were a bit noisy but okay for us at all.

Pros: Very big and nice rooms, with a table and chairs to sit and a balcony. Hosts are very friendly, breakfast was delicious and brought to the room. 2 min walk to the beach, to Hikkaduwa beach 5 min with Tuk Tuk. Highly recommend this place :)

Cons: Hotel is between main road and railway so it can get a bit loud at night but that didnt bother us much.

Pros: Nicest staff. Ilusha and Ilyas (sorry not sure about the spell), thank you for making our stay so comfortable! Great breakfast.

Cons: Garden needs an update. Could be nice place to hang around if was taken care of.

Pros: Very nice and cosy room, clean and stylish bathroom. Perfect staff and the beach view!!!!!

Cons: None

Pros: Perfect location. Beach is right near the hotel (literally 10m and absolutely not crowded). Hikkaduwa is 10 minutes walk (or 2 minutes by tuk-tuk) with all variety of restaurants. Fantastic stuff. Ileesha (Super-Ileesha;) and Ilias, thank you very much for making our vacation so memorable. They became real friends for us. I don't want to write all the details about our stay there but imagine the most open-hearted and kind people in the world, it's all about that two guys. Thank you for being our family those 2 weeks!

Cons: Nothing at all...

Pros: The location and access to the beach. Value for money
