Pros:

Наше пребывание в отеле Liya Beach стало лучшим впечатлением от нашей поездки на Шри-Ланку. Это прекрасный отель, расположенный прямо на потрясающем пляже. Вид из нашего номера был безупречным, и нам очень нравилось просыпаться каждое утро, любуясь захватывающими дух восходами солнца. Персонал был очень гостеприимным и всегда встречал нас с искренней улыбкой, когда нам требовалась помощь. Номер и ванная комната были прекрасно оформлены и безупречно чисты. Завтрак был роскошным, а блюда в ресторане неизменно превосходными. Это было идеальное пребывание от начала до конца. Мы настоятельно рекомендуем Liya Beach всем, кто посещает Ahangama.

The Best Hotel in Sri Lanka
Pros:

Choosing Liya Beach to relax on our last day in Sri Lanka was the best decision of our trip. It is a beautiful hotel set right on the beach, supported by an excellent team, delicious food, and modern facilities. Our room was beautifully designed and very spacious, with perfect sea views directly from the room. The beach next to the property is calm and peaceful, and the sunsets in the evening are truly lovely. It is a pity we could spend only one night there. The staff were exceptionally kind and even offered us a late checkout at no extra charge, which we greatly appreciated.

Отличный персонал, отличный отель, рекомендую , прекрасный и чистый бассейн.
Pros:

Если вы ищете отдых на прекрасном пляже, вам точно сюда , океан прекрасен чистый , теплый , красивые закаты . Номера не большие , но достаточно удобные , есть ресторан где можно покушать, еда нормальная. Если хочется вкусный кофе можно пройти по пляжу 3 минуты до кофейни.На выходе из отеля есть стоянка тук туков можно доехать куда нужно.

Cons:

Не хватает мест для хранения вещей в номере , и в ресторане на втором этаж нет ограждения

There is potential, but too expensive, very loud traffic noise during night
Pros:

Breakfast is ok. Rooms are new and clean.

Cons:

We had a room at the side of the street and couldn’t sleep because it was too noisy.
Only 5 sun loungers around the pool, nothing at the beach.

Private Beach
Pros:

Wonderful private beach accessible directly from the hotel. Also we could watch the local fishermen leaving and coming back with their boats. The hotel just has around 7 rooms, so it feels very boutique. The hotels employees are very keen to help and interested in the guests wellbeeing. Quality of the room was great and the breakfast was nice too.

Cons:

Travelling from the north and middle of the island to the south, the price of the room felt a bit on the higher end.The street was audible quite well in the sea view room during night, but with earplugs everything is fine.

Pros:

Property was very clean & good location 5 min tuktuk from the centre.

Cons:

Service was very slow we waited for food for 1.5hrs and they told us then that they didn’t have the ingredients to make what we wanted. Breakfast was also served very late at 11am we had to go elsewhere since we woke at 7.

Truly a Hidden Gem in Ahangama
Pros:

This place is a true hidden gem and most reviews have not done it justice. It sits on a very calm stretch of beach, right next to a surf spot in the area, which makes it ideal whether you want to relax by the ocean or catch waves nearby. The setting feels peaceful and unspoiled, yet it is centrally located in Ahangama, with easy access to everything around.

The rooms are comfortable, well kept, and designed for a relaxed beachfront stay. What truly elevates the experience is the restaurant. The food is exceptional and easily among the best in Ahangama, with every dish prepared with care and quality ingredients.

Between the calm beach, surf access, prime location, and outstanding dining, this property offers far more than it may first appear. It is one of those rare places that quietly exceeds expectations and stays with you long after you leave.

Beachfront, with amazing staff.
Pros:

Great staff, very frieny and helpful. Location was excellent right on the beachfront with sound of waves. Food was very good.

Cons:

Close to main road some noise. Some safety issues with lack of railings and wires exposed in some areas. Hopefully this is just teething issues as the overall experience was good, mainly by the location and staff.

Wat een uitzicht!
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel, schone maar ruime kamer met een fantastisch uitzicht op zee. Het ontbijt verschillende dagelijks, maar iedere dag even lekker. Ook kan je hier heerlijk lunchen en dineren. Wij begrijpen niet dat hier niet meer mee geadverteerd wordt, want er wordt heerlijk gekookt!

Cons:

Tip: meer naamsbekendheid generen voor het restaurant. En enkele ligbedden met parasol op het strand plaatsen zodat gasten hier kunnen zitten.
