Our stay was truly unforgettable. The peaceful surroundings and natural beauty made it the perfect romantic escape. The highlight was a seafood dinner on the beach with a bonfire and soft music—just the two of us under the stars. The food was delicious, the setup was dreamy, and the atmosphere was full of love. Thank you, Ranweli, for making our honeymoon so special. We’ll treasure these memories forever.

Excellent place to feel closeness to nature and relax in serenity. Take a boat ride to reception upon arrival and as soon as you arrive, nature just opens upon you, fantastic views. We had a great time, sitting on the veranda and enjoying our breakfast and dinners with views over ocean and palms.

This is an excellent Hotel to stay if you want to relax on the beach, swim in the pool or simply enjoy good food and drink. The staff are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The chalets are comfortable with good A/C if you find you need to cool down a bit during the day. The location is excellent.

This hotel officially wins the title of the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in any country in my whole life. After just half day and one night, we had to check out and find a new one. The rooms have a weird stench. They are dirty with dust and cobwebs everywhere. There’s no hot water in the rooms and the wifi only works in the lobby - same with the phone signal if you have the local SIM/eSIM. The towels in the bathroom are old, dirty and ripped in many places. As there are holes in the bathroom ceiling, expect lots of bugs in your room. The AC can barely cool down the entire bungalow, so the heat inside is annoying. The sheets on the beds are also dirty. There’s a mini fridge available, however just like everything else, it’s filthy. Even though there’s a hotel beach, it’s covered in trash, and just a short walk away there’s a river that goes into the sea which is full of different types of trash, so swimming is not recommended at all. The sunbeds available at the beach are covered in fungus and rotting away. On top of all that, the worst part is probably the hotel restaurant. Poor choice of meals with food being available only at the start, despite the restaurant being open for each meal for about 2 hours. Even if you ask them to refill food, it will take them quite a while. If you don’t ask, the staff will just stand around staring at you. The cloths they give for cleaning your hands look like they’ve been used to clean the floors - all stained, ripped with bad smell. The food is old and prepared poorly (bacon served for breakfast was only suitable for local dogs). The toaster toasts only one side of the bread and looks like it hasn’t been cleaned for at least two seasons. The juice machine is covered in bugs and dirt as well. You can’t even find fresh fruit here as everything tastes like it’s been left to age for a week before being served. There’s coffe and tea available, but they both look like tea - can’t tell them apart. For breakfast, don’t expect good bread, ham, cheese or vegetables as they simply don’t have those. Most you will get are beans, an egg with a green yolk, a bunch of rice/curry, some old chewy bacon and suspicious looking sausages. Overall, I would not recommend staying here to anyone. There are far better hotels available in the area for a reasonable price. This place, I wouldn’t even call a hotel. Not worth the time, money and nerves. Avoid at all cost.

We stayed 7 days in this hotel after arrival in Sri Lanka. To reach the lobby you have to pass the river by boat And great room directy located at the beach. Clean room with perfect Working AC. The Food was good and the service friendly.No critical points from is during our stay and we recommend this eco friendly resort for sure! We found out about Tony Tours from TripAdvisor.His office is near Hotel Suriya.We visited the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, Sigiriya, Wilpattu National Park and Dolphin Watching It was a memorable experience for us.

Wir wollten am Ende unserer Rundreise ein paar entspannte Tage genießen, leider wurde daraus nichts. Grundsätzlich ist die Anlage schön gelegen, daher 2 Sterne. Alles in der Anlage ist heruntergekommen und schmuddelig/ dreckig, da hilft auch nicht eine Person die den Rasen pflegt. Wir haben einige Hotels auf unserer Reise erlebt aber hier scheint keiner ein Auge zu haben und noch weniger wird gereinigt. Die Handtücher waren dreckig bei der Ankunft im Zimmer und vieles dazu. Das Telefon klebte an der Hand, der Föhn ebenso, ekelig! Als wir vor dem Bungalow saßen kam der bekannte Anthony an und hat seine Ausflüge und Restaurant angepriesen, da fragt man sich warum er frei in der Anlage sein Restaurant anbieten kann obwohl diese selber eines hat?… Methode/Abzocke??..Abends dieses besucht und das Buffet für 5500 Rupien ist über den üblichen Preisen, wenn es gut wäre kein Problem, war es aber bei weitem nicht, genauso das Frühstück. Wir haben ein anderes Hotel gebucht und sind dann abgereist. Hier ist eine gründliche Renovierung nötig und vor allem Reinigung!

Such a beautiful place and so convenient for the airport. We were 24 of us from my ballet school in London and were very well cared for. The food was excellent with plenty of variety. Great rooms with everything needed. The grounds are fantastic and right by the beach. The young man on pool duty was fantastic bringing all my pupils towels e.t.c. With a smile. My only criticism would be I think they need fans or AC in the restaurant area as it becomes very hot ! A lovely hotel for a couple of nights on your way home - I could have stayed longer !
