Our stay in the garden villa was really great. It was clean and spacious with a semi outdoor bathroom. The pool area was straight in front of the ocean so you could watch the waves from your sunbed. Surf board hire was cheap with a large range of boards. Drinks were cheap and food yummy.

Amazing hotel just by the beach. Was in doubt between this one and the Marriott but after seeing both would go for this every day. Smaller, quieter, staff is the nicest I’ve seen and always happy to help. Room was just perfect, cleaned every day, AC, sea view and the pool and breakfast area were amazing as well.

Breakfast was good, dinner was good, grounds and pool area very well kept. The superior room was spacious, clean, and loved our balcony. Stayed for 2 nights, ate our meals there, lounged poolside for the day, and just had a fantastic leisurely time, which is all we had on our itinerary for Weligama!

Great Hotel Location with quickest access to Ocean

We were extremely happy to book this hotel for a family stay. Two bedrooms with huge beds, and huge bathroom. Its location is very good. It doesn't matter are you in swimming pool or sunbathing on sunbed, few steps and you are in the ocean. Not high waves (the highest we spot was around 1.5 meters) but kids loved to jump on it. You can rent surfboard or bodyboard on the premises. Staff is polite. Dinner menu was impressive, but we tried it once. As hotel has a great location, we tried almost all on the beach sea food restaurants at Merissa (around 7 minutes from the hotel location by TukTuk). The only issues we had is a closure time of Swimming Pool and SPA - 17:00. At other hotels where we stayed closure time was 20:00. If in future at least swimming pool closure time will be improved I would give this hotel five starts. Definitely will stay in this hotel at our further trip to SL.
View on Ocean from sunbed.
