    stunning sea views
    lacking pool atmosphere

    Breathtaking views from dawn till dusk

    The serene beachfront access was a delight. Each morning, I savored coffee while soaking in the stunning sea views from my room. The staff's warmth added a special touch to my stay.

    Unfortunately, the pool's atmosphere felt lacking, with no music to enhance the vibe. the dining options were overpriced, especially considering the stellar local eateries nearby.

    beachfront restaurant
    slow service

    The hotel is well situated and the staff

    made us feel at home throughout our four-night stay. The lovely pool area was perfect for relaxing, and dining at the beachfront restaurant was a highlight, though service could be a bit slow during peak hours.

    beach picnic

    Consider booking a beach picnic through the hotel to enjoy a quieter meal by the water, away from busier restaurants.

    amazing staff
    weak a/c
    slow cooling

    The staff are absolutely amazing, but the A/C was pretty weak and took ages to cool down the room. The beach location is sweet as, tho!

    breathtaking view
    thoughtful decorations
    peaceful ambiance
    soft pillows
    limited breakfast options

    Spent a lovely two nights celebrating my birthday here, and everything exceeded my expectations. The view from the Deluxe Double Room with Side Sea View was breathtaking, especially while enjoying cocktails by the pool. The staff truly made the experience special, going out of their way to surprise me with a birthday celebration that included a beautiful cake and thoughtful decorations. I appreciated the peaceful ambiance, which allowed me to enjoy some relaxation time on the beach as well.

    The Deluxe Double Room with Side Sea View offered a spacious layout and stunning views that made the mornings feel more special with each cup of coffee. The beachfront access was a major highlight, allowing easy strolls along the sand whenever the mood struck.

    The breakfast situation was quite disappointing. the options were limited, and the quality of the coffee and tea was subpar, reminiscent of something you’d expect from a roadside café. the pool didn't have much of a vibe—no music to liven things up, which made it feel a bit dull, and the need to sign out towels left a strange impression. Dining for lunch and dinner felt pricey for what was offered, as better local options were just a stone's throw away, making a meal there feel less than worth it. Lastly, the A/C in my room struggled to keep things cool adequately, making for an uncomfortable rest at times.

    Can recommend for short stay

    Friendly staff, clean facilities, the beach access made our stay enjoyable, and we appreciated the outdoor dining area where we had a lovely breakfast on most days.

    Perfect experience.

    water sports
    slow dinner

    The beachfront access made our stay enjoyable. Dinner service was slow at times, leading to some frustration. The room's view was breathtaking, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. Water sport facilities on site were great but needed more staff on hand to assist.

    my stay exceeded expectations after a previous trip to hikkaduwa. the deluxe double room with side sea view was clean, spacious, and offered a stunning outlook. the friendly staff, especially tyronne, made me feel genuinely valued throughout my visit.
