Even uitrusten aan zee
Pros:

Personeel was heel erg begaan en vriendelijk. Zeer proactief. Heerlijke ruime kamer met plunge pool met uitzicht op zee. Ook hier weer veel (wilde) dieren en vogels

Amazing room, great nature, fantastic staff! 10/10 on all levels
Pros:

The hotel is in a quiet area right on the beach. Our room had a plunge pool and ocean view, amazing size and facilities, very private and comfortable!
The breakfast is just amazing and every single staff member is kind and hard working to ensure a pleasant stay for the guests.
I would absolutely be back.
The aspect that makes this place world class and won my heart is the amazing care that is taken of the local community and animal welfare by providing a safe space and for many strays without them being trouble for the guests whatsoever. This is what kindness and corporate social responsibility epitomises and it only brings me joy to know I have chosen to spend my money in a place that takes this amazing care. I can hope that the hotel owner keeps improving this aspect as it speaks volumes for how it's run.
And I can only praise Eric for how he manages the hotel and every daily activity, as well as providing information to guests when needed.
I didn't learn everyone else's name from the staff, but between the chef, the restaurant staff and the cleaners, everyone was amazing and exceeded expectations with their way of working. Keep up the great work!

Cons:

The location is very isolated, you need transport to get anywhere outside the hotel. Not that I didn't like it as this seclusion is what we chose the place for, but it may not be for everyone! However, there is no better place to stay if you want beach and quiet.

Heavenly Peace
Pros:

For Booking .com review

Despite the cloudy day on arrival & rough seas, the view from the property straight out to Pigeon Island was breathtaking.
This small hotel is a little gem and represents laid back island beach life perfectly. Every room made the most of the view with vibrant soft furnishings & interesting art work . The beach in front of the property was well maintained.

The staff, always had a smile for us, and happy to help with our random requests. Despite its remote location they organised our washing to be taken & collected by Tuk Tuk which was such a relief after 2 weeks of being on the road.

Rooms

Spacious immaculate room with a huge comfy bed, direct view out to the ocean & reassuring mosquito nets
Powerful rain shower in the huge bathroom.

We woke up early to take advantage of the ocean view & watching the wildlife. One morning woken early by Monkeys on our roof and saw so many birds.


Food
The breakfasts were huge ( 5 courses) and super tasty, we also ate dinner there and on our last night had the whole fish for 2. Dining on the terrace looking up at the stars & hearing the lapping ocean was a tonic for the soul. This place helps you to slow down …after dinner sitting in comfort flicking through the coffee table books on Sri Lanka wildlife was how we finished our evenings.

We also loved
The pool to cool down in
The shy cats & friendly dogs

We were touched by this place & felt sad on leaving such a hidden gem

Cons:

Not a lot!

Une chambre face à la mer
Pros:

Un hôtel à taille humaine où on ne se marche pas dessus, isolé du monde extérieur.
Une chambre tout confort face à la mer (litterie super confortable, linge de maison et de bain moelleux), en prime la douche extérieure hyper agréable.
La plage à 20 mètres et la piscine !
Un petit déjeuner délicieux mélangeant les plats Sri Lankais et continentaux. Mention spéciale pour le plateau de fruits de mer sur la terrasse face à la mer!
Merci au personnel aimable et réactif.
On ne peut que recommander

Cons:

Rien, on aurait aimé rester plus longtemps ...

Feines, kleines Ressort für Ruhegeniesser
Pros:

Sehr gepflegte kleine Ressort-Anlage mit Zimmern im Hauptgebäude und mehreren einzelnen Bungalows. Die Bungalows (wir waren in einem) sind großzügig geschnitten, teilweise mit einem separaten, kleinen Außen-Pool ausgestattet, die Einrichtung entspricht gehobenem Landhausstil. Die Anlage hat einen direkten Zugang zum (nicht immer sauberen) Strand!
Das Frühstück wird serviert und ist sehr vielfältig, die Küche ist hervorragend (Dinner). Der Service zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Die Anlage liegt etwas abseits und sehr ruhig, aber auch etwas einsam, da es im näheren Umfeld fast nichts gibt. Für ein paar sehr ruhige und abgeschottete Urlaubstage sicher perfekt, ansonsten wäre ein (Miet-)Wagen sehr zu empfehlen.

Pros:

What a serene location. Out of the way and away from the hustle but with direct access to a beautiful deserted beach. Very friendly staff who went above and beyond for me on my birthday, organising a birthday cake and seafood platter on the house! Eric and Deva make you feel like family.

Oasis of calm and peace with amazing hosts.
Pros:

A wonderful oasis of calm after a very busy 10 days. Exceptional service from Eric and all the staff, super friendly and helpful. We stayed 13-17 jan 26 considered off season for the east coast, we were warmly welcomed to the hotel which is tastefully decorated in a beach chic style. Our room ( no 4) on the first floor had a breathtaking view of the ocean. The food was fabulous and the breakfasts outstanding! ( the dogs, cats and birds got the leftovers). Although some of the excursions/ activities were not available but what we did get ws a personal service second to none even when we were the only guests! A wonderful calm and chilled out experience.

Cons:

Nothing, I would have preferred not to have heard the villa next door doing Kareoke (badly) but it did not detract from the wondrful experience we had.

Pros:

Extremely tasteful small hotel with a bobo chic feel, located on the beach to the north of Nilaveli. Our room was very spacious, with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The hotel has a nice pool and the breakfast was superb.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was just perfect!

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at C Beyond Nilaveli. During our five-week journey through Sri Lanka, this was the most beautiful place we stayed at. As it was the low season, we received an upgrade to a suite with a private pool, only about 20 meters from the beach – absolutely amazing! We truly felt spoiled and very lucky.

One of the most fun experiences was the local wildlife. The crows played a little “stealing game” with us 😄
They only managed to take one French fry and three glitter stones our children had collected. Later, we found the stones scattered around the property, which turned into a fun treasure hunt for both the kids and us.

We were also visited by a family of monkeys, who joined us in the nearby trees for their lunch. The loud chewing sounds suggested that the leaves must have been very delicious – a lovely and memorable nature experience.

The property is very clean, and the service could not be better.
The food was excellent, especially the seafood platter, which we highly recommend.
The breakfast was delicious, very generous, and offered a great variety.

C Beyond Nilaveli is the perfect place to relax, live in the moment, and let your soul unwind. It is absolutely worth staying here even outside the main season. Highly recommended!
