I took non A/C room, which was very spacious and clean. There is a kitchen and common space perfect for working. WiFi is very reliable and fast. The owner is very nice and ready to help. The location is perfect. Opposite the house there is a small shop.

The guesthouse is in the perfect spot to walk in five minutes to one of the best beaches: not overrun, beautiful water, nice waves and not too many tourists (or locals). Just perfect for relaxing, swimming and catching some sun or shade. The breakfast is more than enough and very delicious, the woman who runs the guesthouse is very helpful, attentive and lovely. It’s very good value for money and we had one of the best stays in Sri Lanka here! A lovely veranda and garden to hang out after a day at the beach and trinco is not far away (visit the temples, the one in the city is very well worth it). We added one night because we loved the spot so much :)

Our four-night stay at Jey’s Place was absolutely perfect. We were warmly welcomed by Jistin and Prasanth, who went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable. Jistin is an excellent cook who prepared delicious and refined traditional meals (lunches and dinners) using fresh, local ingredients — many of which came directly from their own garden. We also greatly enjoyed talking with him, and he even taught us how to make his delicious coconut pancakes. The garden is beautiful and perfectly maintained, and the rooms are cool, comfortable, and impeccably clean. We also had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Jey, the owner — a truly kind and welcoming man. We will definitely return to Jey’s Place on a future trip to Sri Lanka.

The best place for a relaxed holiday at the beach. Everything is perfect, it is all in the details…. The maintenance is excellent. The owners wife is French so you can feel it in the interiors. The wide beach is spotless clean, they check it every day. Next to a cute fisherman place with little boats. Lovely garden. The swimming pool is very cute. The food is very good. The chefs worked in 5 star hotels. They can arrange tuk tuk and different tours ( they do not charge commission). Thank you for this little paradise!

Nice and very modern rooms. Close to the beach and lots of restaurants. Don't let yourself be fooled by the picture of the garage door. It's not a garage at all but a proper hotel 😅

Heavenly Hideaway

After 9 days of touring, Heavenly Hideaway was exactly what we needed. We were warmly welcomed and shown around the property, which is beautifully decorated and exceptionally well equipped. From beach towels and toiletries to a washing machine with powder—everything was thoughtfully provided, which was perfect for refreshing clothes after travelling. The apartment’s terrace was absolutely gorgeous, with a stunning ocean view. We especially loved the rooftop hot tub, where we enjoyed sunsets in total relaxation. The pool was a lovely temperature, with plenty of shaded spots, and the hosts were super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We didn’t leave the area during our 3-night stay—there are fantastic beach bars and a stunning Italian restaurant just steps away. It’s also an ideal base for snorkelling trips to Pigeon Island or Angel Rock. The sea is crystal clear, and the sand is soft and white—a true tropical paradise. The whole experience was the perfect end to our amazing holiday. I could have stayed far longer and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, luxurious beach escape.
