Everything. It is simply a luxurious stay with extremely friendly and well educated staff! The best we have experienced in all our Sri Lankan Hotels.

Top quality, intimate and peaceful hotel, in a stunning ocean location
Pros:

The location is wonderful: spectacular view but private and utterly tranquil. Extremely comfortable room, super shower, and excellent breakfast. Good restaurant too. Most of all, the staff are unfailingly charming, attentive, efficient, friendly and helpful. This is a boutique hotel with only seven rooms, very quiet and private, and everything is top quality.

Cons:

A fridge/minibar in the room should be standard in a hotel of this quality. We could have done with one. And it was disappointing that the cove in front of the hotel is not much good for swimming because of the rocks. That said, the hotel's pool, though narrow, is long enough for a good swim.

Perfect stay with delightful people
Pros:

Fantastic location with beautiful sea views and access to the beach from the garden. The public spaces: Lounge, restaurant, patio and infinity pool are just beautiful and immaculately maintained. The food was so good that we ate here on each night of our 3 night stay. 3 nights simply wasn’t enough !!!! We stayed in El Kunji and the room was immaculate and extremely comfortable. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and ensured excellent sleeps during our stay. Super big bathroom with a bath(which we didn’t use) and lovely spacious shower.
Breakfasts were just delightful - delicious food and plentiful. Dinners were also excellent- particularly the Fish and Chicken Curries with super accompaniments.
However, what makes Seilen Diva special is the staff, who without exception were super attentive, pleasant and so kind - from security staff to housekeeping, the delightful waiters and chefs - all were truly brilliant.
A special mention goes to Duranjai and Ajit for going out of their way to look after us and make us feel so welcome. Conversations with them were always a pleasure. Top marks from us, a perfect stay !

Cons:

Nothing

Amazing, would definitely come back.
Pros:

The hotel was amazing. Quiet and peaceful. Directly on the beach, our room had an amazing view of the beach. All the staff very friendly and attentive. In close proximity to lots of cafes and not far to get to galle. Our breakfast at the hotel was delicious and we had dinner at the restaurant one night too which was also exceptional. We had to check out at 5am to reach the airport in time and the team even delivered coffee to our room at 4:30am and had packed breakfast for us to take with us! They truly go above and beyond with a smile on their faces! Highly recommend!

Cons:

Everything was great.

Pros:

El lugar es increible, es un hotel grande, cómodo y con estilo un poco vintage. Las habitaciones son grandes y espaciosas; y lo mejor son las vistas de la habitación. Tiene unos enormes ventanales con vista al mar, en primera linea de Mar. La gente es muy amable y se esfuerzan para que todo sea perfecto. El desayuno esta muy bueno. Nos quedamos a cenar un día y la comida era buenisima.

Cons:

Nada.

The place is very peaceful and quiet. If you’re looking to spend time in solitude and truly enjoy a moment with yourself
Pros:

This hotel is very small — there are only 7 rooms,
so it feels more like a boutique retreat than a regular hotel. I really appreciated that there were very few people around,
which allowed me to fully enjoy the peace and quiet and have time to myself.
The beach is beautiful, with stunning waves, and the staff is genuinely kind and welcoming.

Cons:

There is no gym or yoga at the hotel,
so you should be aware that you’ll be fully on your own when it comes to activities.
However, if you’re looking for a spa experience, they can bring in an outside therapist upon request
