Superb breakfast and location but worn down facilities
Pros:

Perfect location right next to the beach and many nice restaurants and bars. Breakfast was absolutely amazing and the best we had during our trip, you could choose any beverage or breakfast item from the La Luna menu. If you do not stay at this accommodation I would still recommend to come here for breakfast! Staff was very kind and made sure we had enough water and anything we needed during our stay.

Cons:

Although lovely, the room was slightly worn out with many things a little bit broken or run-down. For example, you could see there had been leakages in the roof, the bed sheets were torn and the bathroom floor had a wide variety of stains. In addition, there was no fridge in room, which would have been nice to have cold water. For the price of the room I would have expected better.

Pros:

Location was unreal. 2 seconds to the beach and an easy walk to any of the shops / restaurants in town.

Cons:

Our room was pretty small for 4 people . The bathroom door didn’t close so it got pretty smelly pretty quickly.

Kommer inte tillbaka
Pros:

Hotellet ligger precis i korsningen mellan huvudgatan och stranden och är alltid busy och mycket centralt. Det är ett stort rum med AC som har nära till allt och det finns en ATM precis utanför. Frukosten var ok, speciellt smoothie bowl som var stor och god!

Cons:

Rummet var inte rent, det var dammigt och det fanns djur inomhus. Det kändes ofärdigt och gammalt med synliga rör och trasig badrumsdörr. Det var
en tropisk (giftig) centipede som bodde på mitt rum, vilket tyder på fuktigt, ruttet trä och dålig städning. Ingen ordentlig incheckning, personalen såg bara förvirrad ut att jag var där, och de svarade knappt på frågor trots att de var många som jobbade samtidigt. Under de tre nätter som jag bodde där städades rummet inte en enda gång. De tömde inte ens papperskorgen på toaletten.

Bästa servicen var under frukost då jag åtminstone fick ett leende från en anställd. Såg ingen manager och ingen som frågade om jag behövde hjälp. Mycket udda ställe som var det dyraste och sämsta jag bodde på under tre veckor i Sri Lanka. Rekommenderar inte! Bo hos en familj istället eller högre upp på de små vindlande vägarna i byn.

Great location, great breakfast and coffee.
Pros:

The location was amazing across the road from the beach.
Beautiful breakfast and coffee, and welcome drink.
The super early morning staff very helpful (garden cleaner)

Cons:

Bathroom door very hard to open and close, water on first day only, no tea or coffee in room (kettle only) had to purchase from then on. Conditioner bottle was empty. Blockout curtains are needed, there was light coming through all night.For the money I felt the accomodation was a let down we expected more as this was the most expensive place we stayed in Sri Lanka and was offered much better hospitable service for half the price.

Best place in Hiriketiya
Pros:

This is the place to stay when you are in Hiriketiya, a little pricier than other hotels, but perfectly worth it. The breakfast is amazing and included in the price, whilst other people come outside of the hotel for it

Perfect for a short stay at the beach, maybe a bit overpriced.
Pros:

The location is perfect for the beach and there is a restaurant bar downstairs. The room is also somewhat modern.

Cons:

The service is a bit intermittent and there was no water in the room on arrival. When we went down to ask for a water they charged us 900lkr and then the next day there was water in the room. Additionally the menu is mostly pizza and pasta.

Highly recommend
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel – it was by far the best accommodation during our trip to Sri Lanka! The rooms are new, modern, and beautifully designed – we felt comfortable right away.

Staffs are extremely friendly, welcoming. Dameen is very helpful to show us around and make sure we had a great time at La Luna

Breakfast is so good and high quality. Good coffee and matcha latte :)

The location is in front of Hiriketiya beach and she camps. It is easy to access other locations and famous restaurants nearby.

All in all, a wonderful stay – we’d love to come back and highly recommend this place!
