Breakfast every morning was amazing. Bed so comfortable. Clean. Amazing location. Turtles popping their heads out of the water while you sip a beer. Lovely food and staff so relaxed, kind and attentive. Sparta the dog is a joy. They organized mopeds for us and taxi to airport.

Our stay at LaPolena was amazing. The owners were very nice and helpful. They helped us organize transfer to and from the hotel. Breakfasts were delicious and served on the beach. The view from the room to the ocean was amazing and the beach was only for us. The owner's dad took us snorkeling with turtles, which was one of the best experiences during our stay. I definitely recommend it!

The villa was great value for money. We could walk to the beach anytime, and both Madiha Beach and Polhena Beach were just a short walk away. The beaches are very beautiful and relaxing.we snorkeled with turtles, swim safely, enjoy surfing, and watch beautiful sunsets. We really enjoyed our stay.Thank you so much

We loved our stay at Bienvenido. The owners and staff were so friendly and helpful... even cheerfully making up our room every day, as requested (I am on holiday, so it's nice to have someone else make my bed) I understand it's not normal practice on SL. My husband loved the Sri Lanka breakfast. And I loved their swimming pool.

I really enjoyed my time at Beach Inns Holiday Resort. The guesthouse is located beside a beautiful beach in a peaceful area away from the busy main road. The large seaside terrace is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery, with the palm trees offering welcome shade during the heat of the day. My room was clean and spacious and the management and staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Madu and her family are some of the nicest people you will meet in Sri Lanka. They want you to have the best days of your holiday and will help you with everything you ask. It is really close to the surfspot, and there are nice restaurants around. We stayed here twice and would love to come back!

Emanuela and Tharin is just amazing hosts that really make you feel like home in their beautiful accommodation. We stayed for 4 nights and this was one of our favorite spots during our Sri Lanka journey, a lot thanks to our stay at Casa Tharin. Besides from their hospitality they offer a fantastic breakfast (and coffee!!), a lovely terrace and comfortable rooms. We would definitely come back here and recommend everyone to stay here.

I stayed one night in a private room which was very clean and nice. Also the bathroom and the whole accommodation was very clean and good. It’s right in front of the railway station which is perfect if you need to take a train. The hosts are very friendly and polite. If I had any questions I could contact them at any time.
