Exceptional stay — one of our all-time top 10 hotels Natalia and I must have stayed in thousands—if not over 10,000—hotels in our lifetime. Only a handful truly stay with you and make you want to return. This place in Ahangama made it straight into our personal top 10. The stay is extremely personal and detail-oriented, with great service, a wonderful vibe, and beautiful design. And the view… wow. Falling asleep to the sound of the ocean is all you need. The food is creative and delicious, the coffee is amazing, and overall the value for money is outstanding. A very strong recommendation from us. If you’re coming to the south, you will not be disappointed.

Super friendly and helpful staff. They go out of their way to make sure everything runs smoothly. We asked if the room could be made a bit darker, and they sorted it without any hassle. The pool is great. We used it every day. The co-working area is solid too. Fast WiFi, plenty of space, and a good setup to get work done. Location is perfect. Would definitely stay here again.

Nestled in the enchanting town of Unawatuna, Villa Rumassala is a hidden gem that promises a stay unlike any other. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by the gracious staff of Villa Rumassala with refreshing drinks, a thoughtful gesture that instantly refreshed us after our journey. What truly stood out was the personalized touch of a small tour of the villa and its surroundings, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the area. The villa itself exudes charm and elegance, with spacious rooms that are meticulously designed for comfort. Our accommodation boasted not only comfortable beds but also a fully equipped kitchen, providing us with the convenience of preparing our own meals if we wished to do so. This thoughtful inclusion added a level of flexibility to our stay, making us feel right at home. However, what truly set Villa Rumassala apart was its exceptional staff, who went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was perfect. Menaka, in particular, epitomized hospitality with her warm demeanor and attention to detail. Her genuine care for our comfort and satisfaction truly made us feel like royalty. Additionally, we cannot speak highly enough of the Tuktuk driver, Sandaru, whose fair prices and friendly demeanor made exploring the area a breeze. His knowledge of the area and willingness to accommodate our preferences enhanced our overall experience immensely. In conclusion, our time at Villa Rumassala was nothing short of magical. From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, every moment was crafted with care and attention to detail. If you're seeking a retreat where you'll be treated like royalty, look no further than Villa Rumassala. We departed feeling rejuvenated, grateful for the memories created, and eagerly anticipating our next visit to this truly exceptional destination.

My stay at Hotel Lavanga Hikkaduwa was a truly wonderful experience, thanks to both its tranquil and beautiful location and the consistently friendly and welcoming staff. Situated in a calm and picturesque setting in Hikkaduwa, the hotel offers a serene escape. Adding to this peaceful ambiance was the exceptional service provided by every member of the staff. From the reception to the restaurant and beyond, each team member I encountered was approachable, helpful, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring guests had a pleasant stay. Their positive attitude created a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the hotel, making my time in Hikkaduwa even more enjoyable. The combination of the hotel's idyllic location and its commitment to excellent customer service truly made for a memorable stay.

Dont often give full marks but staying at Angel beach was an amazing experience. The beach front location is spectacular and the pool area is perfect for relaxing in a contemporary atmosphere. But above all that, it was the staff that made our stay unforgettable. Let me name a few: the general manager Delshan went above and beyond during our stay, we never experienced such a comitted and professional manager at any hotel! But also other staff like Sahan (house keeping who has great pride in towel art) and Pabasara at reception who always was very attentive. But others too, thanks for an amazing experience!

I enjoyed my stay in Galle.

I enjoyed my stay in Galle. The place was very clean and the environment was relaxing. It’s a good location to explore the city and enjoy the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the beds were a bit old and already broken, so it wasn’t very comfortable. If they fix that, it would be a much better stay. Overall, a nice experience and good value.

Its a fantastic place, just at the beach and well planned hotel, pools, beach, restaurants, bars, lobbys are equally catering to customer service points. We had our best hotel experience at Araliya Unawatuna. Even met the owner and had a generous chat during breakfast which is so touching and personalized service standard I believe. Easy to visit Galle Fort, just a walk to the golden sandy beaches. Staff from top management to the ground staff is well trained to give excellent customer care. We specially thanking to our 7th flour room service staff who simply helped us in technical support, bars and restaurant staff and Nethmi & Dakshika and all wonderful reception staff memebers.

Hikkaduwa is one of the best tourist beach spots with friendly and helpful local people. The weather is cool even though we had some rain, but we stayed at the villa on the balcony watching people fishing kayaking and canoeing down the River. The beach area has some unique fresh seafood restaurants, surfing, snorkeling and you can even rent out glass-bottomed boat to see underwater world. There is also a Turtle Hatchery here and Tsunami museum for tourists. Beach is very clean.

Ahangama is so peaceful - it's slightly away from the busier areas around the coast. The restaurants around are in great locations, and all very calm with great vibes. It's also very easy and quick to get to neighbouring towns to visit sites, or restaurants in those locations as well.

Great beach with very few people.

Great beach with very few people. Not suitable for swimming as the current is very strong. Also, as a solo female traveller, because there are so few people on the beach it is advisable to be extra cautious. One morning when I was walking by myself, there was a man in the bushes who exposed himself to me (intentionally). So use caution.

Talpe is a beautiful and quiet coastal village, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The beaches are clean and less crowded, with stunning sunsets and even the chance to see sea turtles. It’s a great spot to relax, with a mix of charming villas, friendly locals, and easy access to nearby attractions like Unawatuna and Galle. Ideal for those looking to unwind away from the tourist rush.

My favourite place was the turtle hatchery. Most meals were eaten at the Hotel. Very easy to get around. There is a tour agency opposite the hotel entrance, it cant get any better than that. It is easy to take tuk tuk or van taxis. Superior beach front view. Beautiful gardens and swimming pool. Well done to the management and staff for this top class facility. Local fishermen were easy to approach and social chat with.

Great beach, we felt like Robinson Crusoe on the beach, almost just the 2 of us. Visiting Mahdu Lake at 6 a.m. watching the sun goes up. A natural paradise with a lot of birds and other animals. Listening to their different noises. Dining at the Mangrove Cave Restaurant we enjoyed freshest seafood. It was just very tasty.
