Roman Beach offers spacious air-conditioned rooms with free Wi-Fi, high ceilings and views of the sea. Located on Hikkaduwa Beach, it presents an outdoor pool and a private beachfront.

Right from entering this hotel till the time we checked out all we experienced is endless warm hospitality. The staff here is so warm throughout the day. They will never say No to any of your requests. The next best thing is the view from the hotel and the location. The beach is directly connected to this hotel and if walk in the beach you will find many beach shacks and restaurants near by. The WiFi connection was far better than other stays that I had in Sri Lanka. Also, the food here was good. The chef here also served customized out of the menu items. We just have to tell him what we like and what we are looking for and also he has his suggestions. Over and all it was a very good experience.

Suite Lanka sits on the sands of Hikkaduwa Beach, one of the widest beaches on Sri Lanka’s west coast. Offering spacious accommodation, it has an outdoor pool and restaurant.

Generous sized clean rooms in colonial style, with ocean views from the balcony. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was extremely generous and served on a sandy patio overlooking the beach. Food at Olin’s, was amazing! We loved the jumbo prawns and local curries. Happy hour drinks were a bonus. It was in a great location, a 30 minute walk to Hikkaduwa and turtle beach. The surf out the front was lovely to watch, but less safe to swim, however there was a patrolled beach a short walk away where a surf school was located. We also enjoyed the pool. As a family group spread across three rooms, it was perfect!

Cocobay Unawatuna is a ‘safe and secure’ boutique-style beachfront resort that features a beachfront restaurant, beach deck for dining and an outdoor pool offering access to 200 meters of sandy beach...

We had just one night in the Hotel and because of that we arrived very early in the morning. Of course we didn’t expect that the room will be finish- but the staff was super friendly and arranged a room for us. The reason they told us was that we will stay just for one night and should enjoy the room as long as possible. Great! Additional: I had a surfing lesson from the lifeguard. That was super professional for an average price level. In the evening we booked the private grill diner next to the beach. That was very, very good. The quality of the meat was extraordinary. The Chef Cooker Samarajeewa and his colleague Rag presented us a lovely evening with a lot of interesting talks about Sri Lanka.

Offering an outdoor pool and a spa and wellness centre, Shinagawa Beach Hotel provides a relaxing stay in beautiful accommodation in Balapitiya.

This hotel is a pure sweet spot: a combination beautiful sandy beach with nice ocean view through palm trees, excellent and well-trained staff, huge variety of very tasty food, comfortable rooms and excellent management with focus on sustainability. We booked a room with breakfast and intended to dine outside, however upon our arrival a hotel manager Mr Fernando warmly welcomed us and recommended to try dinner buffet... And we did - the best experience (both breakfast and dinner) comparing 5 hotels in Sri-Lanka we visited during our 3 weeks vacation. Additional compliment to the way the hotel is managed - exceptional level of service, safety, sustainability and attention to the guests needs. I can't put in a review all the things we're positevely surprised with this hotel - it far exceeded our expectations, definitely recommend to stay here!

Villa Amma Erna welcomes its guests with an outdoor pool and free internet access. It features contemporary interiors and stylish fan-cooled guestrooms.

The staff went above and beyond. The food is amazing - they pride themselves on the brunch and it was a full spread, community vibe, and it was the most memorable meal I had in Sri Lanka. The staff are so lovely and accommodating, giving me recommendations far beyond my stay. The room was massive and so nice

Adjacent to Unawatuna Beach, Sergent House is set in a boutique villa showcasing colonial architecture and originating in the 1800's.

Beautiful decor and an amazing collection of treasures from adventures around the world. We celebrated our son’s birthday and all the staff went out of their way to give us a memorable time. We had the most tasty cake and festive decorations to make the day special. Thank you for that experience 🙏

Apa Villa offers a peaceful retreat in Galle, featuring spacious suites that overlook the tropical gardens. This property has an outdoor swimming pool, bar and provides free Wi-Fi.

Air conditioning very bad and noisy, poor breakfast. Location and swimming pool are great, but, in our opinion, the hotel is extremely overpriced for what you get.

    Beautiful boutique hotel right on the beach on the edge of Hikkaduwa - seaview suite view was stunning, staff lovely and excellent customer service throughout. Food in the hotel was really good (recommend the chili crab, and traditional Sri Lankan curry particularly). Big shout out to Tyronne and his team in the restaurant - excellent service and nothing was too much trouble, always welcoming and happy smiling face!

    Amazing location and the concierge service from Sunil and his team was outstanding. Lovely luxury boutique hotel, unique on this beach, which is otherwise mostly populated by backpackers.
