The room was very good, the service was very good, and when they learned that we were Chinese, they specially asked the chef to make a Chinese-style braised dish! Every staff member was very enthusiastic

I like this hotel very much. It is located on a very quiet beach. It is very suitable for families who like a quiet vacation. The hotel staff are very nice. The three meals a day are also very delicious. The room is comfortable and the seaside scenery is unbeatable.

Fascinating scenery. Every corner of the hotel is a beautiful landscape. The hotel's service staff is professional and kind. They will patiently answer your questions. Any problems during check-in will be solved immediately and you will be given feedback. The hotel has a private beach, which is clean and beautiful. The private swimming pool is clean and beautiful. It can be said to be the ceiling of travel.

A very quiet private villa star hotel, with exclusive beach, very clean, and very enjoyable to walk around every day. But there is nothing around, only suitable for staying in the hotel!
You can go to the beach at night to see many hermit crabs, and we also saw fireflies

A truly fabulous hotel and a lovely way to end our tour of Sri Lanka! We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our tour in March and had a wonderful, relaxing few days. We didn't venture out of the hotel so cannot comment on surrounding facilities or attractions. Hotel is amazing and the attention to detail here is second to none. It benefits from being small and exclusive. We had upgraded to a superior room and it was well worth it. One of the nicest suites we have ever had on our world travels. This hotel is a sister to Goat Fell at Nuwara Eliya which we stayed in and was equally fabulous. We had requested a higher floor but initially we were accommodated on the ground floor. However next day the staff moved us upstairs which we were delighted with; two balconies with fab views of sea. (The duty manager who looked after us here was exceptional, I am so sorry I have forgotten his name). Food here is also exceptional with personalised and cheery service from the chef (India?) who will tweak any dish to your liking. My husband said he cooked the best Tiger prawns in the world and he had them every day!! Complimentary G&Ts at 5pm were a lovely touch and the pool and loungers are perfect for this hotel. A few steps down to the beach and you can walk along in both directions dipping your toes in the sea. We had the most perfect four days here and were sorry to have to leave. A HUGE thank you to team Kumu Beach!

What a beautiful hotel! We stayed three nights and it was absolutely perfection. Our room - Oceanview Suite was fantastic - silent at night and with plenty of space for our family of four. We all loved the huge, warm pool and relaxing environment. The beach was incredibly beautiful and the kids loved climbing on the rocks. At the end of each day, we loved the makeshift bar on the lawn with complimentary drinks and crisps at 5pm, just in time for sunset. Such a nice way of bringing everyone together. Another highlight was the BBQ night we had - where the chef prepared a huge variety of delicious food for us (including ensuring we were happy with the menu in advance and adding/changing it to our request). We stayed at 5 teardrop hotels (they are all fantastic) and did a Teardrop Journey - which I REALLY recommend. Our journey included many activities. At Kumu Beach we enjoyed great massages, a visit to a local turtle hatchery and a visit to the Southern puppet museum. These were all carefully curated for families in mind and our kids were incredibly sad to leave. The food was fantastic, they catered for the vegetarians in our group very well, adapting the menu and offering to cook different meals if wanted. In summary, this was one of the best places we have ever been and we would return tomorrow if we could. Book it!

We ended our two week tour of Sri Lanka here for 2 nights, and wished we had booked longer. Situated well back from the road and immediately next to a quiet (almost unused) beach, with a lovely grassed garden area and surrounded by local fauna, it felt like an idyllic island. With only a few rooms, it felt very special. The staff were of course, very attentive and helpful, and we were especially well looked after by Ruchinia. Food was excellent and room very comfortable, with an enormous bathroom. Nothing could be better than lazing in the garden shade watching the ocean and looking forward to (complimentary) afternoon tea & cake, with G&Ts at 5 - truly memorable. Highly recommend.
