Our stay at Sielen Diva exceeded all expectations for many reasons: - The villa is GORGEOUS - the pictures on the booking page are already beautiful, but in person it's even more beautiful. The common areas are comfortable and the room was spaceous, luxurious and worked well for our 7 day stay. The close proximity to the nearly private, quiet beach is also a massive a massive bonus as the beaches in the area are fairly crowded with tourists. - The food is DELICIOUS - we traveled around Sri Lanka for 2 weeks and the food at Sielen Diva was the best we had throughout our whole trip. The menu is extensive with everything from Avocado toast and granola bowls in the morning to delicious fresh juices, specialty cocktails, home made ice cream to more traditional sri lankan food such as curries. I also have to mention that the chef and villa manager are super attentive to their guests' needs. Every evening we got a special mix of curries, one of us is allergic to onion and the food was adapted to this and we briefly mentioned that we love mangoes, after which we got fresh mango daily. - The staff is the KINDEST we've ever experienced - the villa staff was honestly what made our trip (on top of everything else). Everyone is SO SO friendly, helpful and caring. I want to give a special mention to the villa manager George who went above and beyond throughout the whole week to make our stay comfortable and smooth, organising rides, a special birthday celebration with cake, giving advice, picking up fresh veggies, seafood and fruit from the farmer's market and generally being an amazing human. Both of us have traveled loads around the world and stayed at top notch hotels and our experience at Sielen Diva was among the best (if not the best) hotel experience we've ever had. Do yourself a favor and STAY HERE!!!

A wonderful way to end our vacation in Sri Lanka! We enjoyed the pool (clean water! good for splashing about and for laps!), rooms (tastefully decorated) and grounds (impeccably kept), breakfast (varied and tasty), and yoga (instructor was patient and well-informed). It seems every aspect was thought through with great care for guests' comfort and relaxation.

​My time at Nice Days Resort in Unawatuna was simply unforgettable and exceeded all my expectations. Everything, from the moment we arrived until we checked out, matched perfectly and felt luxurious.The Double Room with Sea View was immaculate—spotlessly clean, incredibly spacious, and the bed was supremely comfortable. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and stepping out onto the balcony for that stunning view was the definition of a perfect holiday.​The staff and service were a true highlight. The team was warm, exceptionally attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our stay wonderful. Any request was handled immediately and with a smile. The resort creates such a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere; it's the ideal escape from the bustle of the town.

I said in my last review that I would be back in December and I was. The two floored apartment has had a major upgrade in that the top floor has now been converted into a huge room with two 4 poster beds in it. This, together with the bed on the lower floor, makes it ideal for family’s with children who want their own privacy, or a group of friends. We were just a couple and enjoyed it as much as last time. The fact that it is literally on the beachfront makes this a must go to property. Romesha, the owner, met us for check in and was so helpful throughout the week. I still love the fact that there are over 30 restaurants along the beach for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s the perfect location for a Sri Lankan beach holiday. We will return in March. ❤️❤️

This place is MAGICAL. From the moment we arrived we where in awe at the beautiful property. The photos on booking.com do not do it justice. Each room was stunning, the open plan dining/living area had space for big groups and the pool and garden where so well maintained. Beautiful property. The staff made our trip- we became like a little family. They could not do enough for us day to day. The chef prepared some of the best food we have ever tried and totally catered to all of our needs. Nothing was too much for them and they went above and beyond without being asked. They genuinely made our stay there magical.

The room was wonderfully furnished with a beautiful bathroom with hot water. Amazing price due to it being Low Season. Right on the Beachfront and the restaurant food was really good. The bed was super comfortable which earns a big tick from me. Close to all manner of shops and restaurants and ATMs. Staff were wonderful and happy to assist with all my needs. Room was very clean.

We absolutely loved the location. Right on the beachfront and central of the small town with lots of restaurants and shops. Kevin in particular was an absolute star, went above and beyond - cobstantly smiling, welcoming and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. Kiki was our favourite furry friend. The free shuttle to use the pool at the sister Hotel was really great and an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Our recent stay at Tartaruga was nothing short of delightful. Despite opting for the budget room, we were pleasantly surprised by the value it offered. The room was clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed for a cozy stay. Located right on the beachfront, the property's location couldn't be more convenient. The staff members were friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with any queries or requests I had.

Location is very good, isolated beach only for hotel guests. Food and Services were out of this world, really excellent. Rooms were excellent, very big with ocean view, huge bathroom. Room boy Thusahara gave his best to have all we need in our room. One can walk on the beach and reach in 10 m several surf schools. and is 3km away from Galle Fort, Tuktuks being available in front of hotel. 25mins walk from Jungle beach (excellent secluded beach) or Peace Pagoda, worth to visit for magnificent views

The property is located right on the beach, with great views of the ocean. The room and bathroom had large glass windows to enjoy the view. However, general upkeep of this building is needed. The dining section is small with outdated furniture. The pool is pretty much a part of the lobby, meaning laying in the loungers is visible to guests checking in (pro for checking in, but con for laying by the pool).
