Book Cheap Hotels in Halpatota

The room was large and beautiful! There were some ants, as mentioned by previous reviews, but mostly on the other side of the bedroom door. Honestly, when you’re in a tropical location, you have to expect a few of these things. There is no beach access, but a quick tuk tuk ride will get you to the Happy Banana where the beaches are incredible. Some “issues” were of no fault of the hotel and were the fault of horrible people in the world. We were there during the bombings on Easter and the staff was so kind and took care of us when they probably had family of their own they were worried about. Because of the country enforced curfew, many items on the menu were unavailable that Sunday night. Their breakfasts were absolutely fabulous. I think they had food freshly delivered multiple times a day. The one thing I would change though is they need some air conditioning in the bathroom. The bathroom itself is HUGE and stunning, but is so hot with no air movement. Overall, I loved my stay there. I loved my time in Unawatuna and Sri Lanka. I’m so sorry there are such nasty people in this world, but my experience with Sri Lankans is that they are a kind and lovely people. That nonsense is not indicative of this gracious country.

We had a 3 night stay at Cocobay and it was wonderful. The staff was attentive and polite, the view was gorgeous, the hotel was really clean and our room was perfect. We had a room with a jacuzzi on the 3rd floor and the room is huge and the view is spectacular. Our friends had a room with a pool on the first floor and the view is also spectacular. The pool rooms are smaller, but very nice and clean. The food at the hotel was superb. Breakfast is more food than you could dream of eating and well worth the price. Our evening meals were amazing. They have a really good chef and waite staff. We ate everything from sea food to steak to pizza and it was all great. We were celebrating our anniversary while there and the staff went out of their way to make it special.

The hotel is like 150 kilometers from Colombo airport, it is easy to find a taxi that can take you anywhere. The hotel is nic and clean, breakfast and dinner are good but not perfect. The view is magnificent .

We really enjoyed our week-long stay in Hikkaduwa. Each day at the resort started with an ample buffet breakfast which alternated dishes keeping things fresh! When we requested a room change, the staff were able to fulfill it. When I needed a hairdryer- a converter- matches- they were very prompt and accommodating! I lost my water bottle by the pool and the front desk attendant left it and came to find it with me. I was very impressed. By the end of the trip, many of the workers knew our names and it was refreshing to be greeting genuinely by these wonderful people! The cleaning staff were efficient- the grounds were kept clean- the location was very good, too!
