Sea view is absolutely stunning and private beach is great. My wife and I would walk to to the main beach for meals but would stay on the private beach. Staff are great. Breakfast is made to order and they will provide anything you would want. From what we saw I would say that it one of the better locations to stay.

Lovely for a holiday by the sea
It’s a really lovely, very clean property. The staff is lovely and the manager went above and beyond to help us find a room at another hotel when we wanted to extend but were not able to stay at La Veranda because it was booked solid. The breakfast patio opens up to a private beach. We stayed in the “basic” room, which didn’t have a sea view (we knew ahead of time) but as it was partially underground it was a very cool retreat from the very hot sun. WiFi was excellent in our room, only thing I would change it a slightly larger sheet as the one provided was a bit small for two to share. Im sure if we had asked the staff would have provided either a second sheet or a larger sheet, but it wasn’t much of a problem so we didn’t say anything. :) A perfect little getaway spot. We look forward to staying again.

Amazing Views
Nice small family hotel at the end of the beach. It’s a bit away from the main beach area, but that was a positive for me. There is a small private beach in front of the hotel. Only 3-5 people I saw at any given time. The outdoor breakfast area is fantastic. It’s shaded by large palm trees overlooking the ocean with amazing sunsets. I had a sea view room. Only heard the street noise if someone honked their horn because the sound of the waves was louder than the street :). Do note that Mother Nature doesn’t observe nighttime quiet hours and the crashing waves were very loud at night. Amazing staff, very kind, service with a smile everyday. The room is tiny for the price, but neat and has traditional British colonial decor. WiFi was spotty, but that is common in Sri Lanka. 4 stars because there was a power outage for several hours. Totally, understand that things happen (I experienced outages at multiple hotels) but the owners should have the generator and gas ready to go for these instances vs. having to procure needed items during an outage. Yes, I would stay again.

The hotel was amazing, very comfortable, great view from the verandah of the sunsets. Right on the beach which was safe to swim and turtles to be seen swimming by. The breakfast was also great and the staff eager to please even helped negotiate a great fare with the Tuk Turks. Lots of good restaurants to walk to.

Terrible value for money
Breakfast was ok, otherwise completely overrated and on a very noisy road. No idea how all the other reviews are so positive

Loved waking up to the sea view
Had a lovely stay in this place. It has its private beach and its 5min away from the main beacj where you find a lot of restaurants. You get to wake up and eat your breakfast with the sea view. The staff is very friendly and the food in the hotel is nice. Had an amazing time.

Location was nice but the hotel beach was very small. The hotel itself seemed a little tired and in need of some polishing and updating. The penthouse apartment was a fantastic layout. The faucet in our shower was broken and would not allow cold water, luckily there were 2 showers in the apartment.
