Friendly Cool Beach
Pros:

Fantastic location on the beach with a nice pool and obliging staff that would do anything for you. Family atmosphere large rooms with good AC huge balcony with sea views. We would definitely return there.

Cons:

Being on top floor there were a lot of steps.
This is not a complaint because being on top floor you get a fantastic view

Pros:

Highly recommend Cool Beach Hotel, Hikkaduwa! 🌊
​Had an amazing time here. The location is perfect, and the food is simply delicious. A huge shoutout to the friendly staff for making us feel so welcome.
​Note to management: Please ensure the balconies are swept properly for future guests, as ours was a bit dusty. Other than that, a 10/10 experience! Can’t wait to come back.

Pros:

персонал очень доброжелательный, а особенно Гриша! его помощники тоже очень стараются и это видно
номера неплохие, кровать удобная, постельное чистое, огромный балкон с видом на океан,
завтраки скромные, но вкусные, по желанию могут приготовить яйца, если не любишь омлет
обед и ужин по меню, порции огромные, можно заказывать одну на двоих и тоже очень вкусные! фруктовая тарелка тоже очень вкусная
бассейн чистый, лежаки всегда есть
чистые полотенца можно брать хоть каждый день
пляж очень красивый и чистый
также я брала трансфер от отеля, цена средняя, чуть дороже чем в пикми, машина приличная и комфортная
Спасибо за гостеприимный прием! Отпуск удался!

Cons:

мебель старовата, в душе неудобно, то что вся вода остается на полу и приходится мыть пол

I really recommend this hotel to those who want to have a peaceful & enjoyable time.
Pros:

The hotel was super cool. They offered me the top floor room which has an amazing seaview.
The beach side garden is wonderful. There are sun beds and hanging chairs. I was spending half of my stay over there in the hanging chairs because it soothes me. The staff was really helpful. Especially the owner Mr.Greshan if I'm correct as I remember his name. He always takes care. Also Mr. Mahinda, the Manager of the hotel is so kind and helpful.
I will definitely visit again on my next vacation. I really enjoyed the stay.
