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 :)

A lovely spot to stay in Nilaveli. Very close to the beach and great value for money. The staff were lovely, going out of their way to help us. They even went out to get us cokes that weren't on the menu and offered to help us get shopping. The food was delicious and very affordable too. The room was basic as we expected but spacious and clean.

From the moment we arrived at Suman Beach Rooms, we felt like special guests in a family home. Located just a 3‑minute stroll from the serene Nilaveli Beach, this cozy B&B is in a perfect spot for easy beach days and exploring nearby attractions like Pigeon Island National Park and the Kanniya Hot Springs . Our room was spacious – with a private bathroom, balcony overlooking the garden, crisp AC, reliable Wi‑Fi, and great comfort overall . It quickly became our peaceful little haven after a day in the sun. But what truly set this place apart was the warmth of the hosts—Suman, Mallika, and their family. They greeted us even during our early arrival, having our room already prepared . Mallika’s home‑cooked Sri Lankan breakfast on the terrace was a daily treat—delicious, generous, and served with heartfelt kindness . The atmosphere is so relaxed and welcoming—complete with friendly cats, chickens wandering through the garden, and a homely ambience that truly made us feel “at home” . They went above and beyond by helping arrange tuk‑tuks, and transfers, you name it—with helpful, local insider knowledge . In short: Location: 2–3 minute walk to the beach, with easy access to local attractions Accommodation: Clean, comfortable rooms with AC, private bathroom, balcony/garden view Hosts: Exceptionally friendly, considerate, and accommodating Extras: Tasty breakfasts, reliable Wi‑Fi, bike/tuk‑tuk tours, laundry, on‑site parking We wholeheartedly recommend Suman Beach Rooms if you're after a genuine, comfortable, and caring place to stay in Nilaveli. Thanks to Suman, Mallika, and the entire team for an unforgettable stay—we’ll definitely return! 🙏

Great design. It’s such a luxury experience to have a room by the beach. The view inside the room is already like a movie. Direct beach access. Great and wild beach. Staff catering to you every need from managing lagoon trip, portion island diving to money exchange. Great food. Beachside BBQ at night is such a wonderful experience. Justifiable price.

The best place we have stayed in Sri Lanka. The room was extremely clean, the terrace is lovely and it’s just a 5min walk to the beach. The staff made us feel at home, Dharsni really knows how to treat guests. Breakfast is delicious, she cooks the best dhal we’ve ever tried. Also her tea is delicious. We loved our days at her place and we’ll recommend this accommodation to all our friends and will come back next time we visit Sri Lanka

Hospitality with a heart - the staff was very helpful with all requests we had like Scooters, Doctors and things to do in the area. Not only were they very helpful, they went "the extra mile" to ansure we were only going to people they knew would do their best to meet our needs. All in all it was great and the staff really turns this hotel more into a family stay than a normal holiday.

Excellent pool, good food, very helpful staff. I'd loved to have stayed longer. Pool was my reason for booking here, as I love to swim laps. Its big enough to get a good swim, and as accommodation is quiet I had the pool to myself.

We stayed at Hotel Cardamon for 4 days and 3 nights, and everything about our stay here was just perfect. From the sweeping views of the ocean the minute you step in to the property, to the super clean pool, comfy accommodation, delectable food no matter what we ordered, and most importantly, the friendly staff who went the extra mile to make our holiday comfortable, we couldn’t have picked a better place for our beach holiday in SriLanka!
