Resort with turtles at your door
Pros:

The room was clean and spacious with a large balcony looking over the water. Shower was good with lots of water pressure.
The staff were sooooo friendly & helpful with everything we asked help with. Assisted us with a travel converter as the rooms only had UK PowerPoints, arranged a late check out helped with cushions for deck chairs etc
Food in the buffet was nice with a good selection to cater for all tastes.
Pool was a little warm however the ocean is at your door so it gives choice of where you want to swim.
Location was excellent. Easy to walk to a supermarket, shopping, atms etc and the resort backed onto the beach.
Best feature was swimming with the turtles each day right outside the resort boundary.
Overall we loved our stay here.

Amazing Stay at Hika Tranz
Pros:

Hikka Tranz has the best location on the beach. Rooms are spacious, best part about the room is the balcony. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Water is good for hair wash. Hotel is very neat and clean. Service is good, staff is very helpful at the frkntdesk, beach and restaurant.

Food is very tasty, has lots of options to cater to different guests. Its healthy and good for stomach.

We came as a family of 5, My parents and child both enjoyed. We could see turtles at the beach itself, didn't have to go anywhere to enjoy the turtles and the beach. Good bar options as well.

Our TV wasn't working, the technician, tried to fix it, that didn't work, so he replaced the TV, all under 10 mins. Tamasha at Restaurant and Harsha at front desk, made our stay comfortable.

In all the stat was worth it and had memorable vacation.

Good experience
Pros:

The holiday at Hikka Tranz hotel was a good experience. The location is excellent. Our room had beautiful views. The room was clean, although the bathroom could use an update.

The pool area is very nice, and we especially liked its garden-like atmosphere. The proximity to the beach is a big plus!

The service was mostly excellent. We especially remember our room attendant Dinesh. He always had a smile on his face and asked about how we were doing every day.

The staff at the restaurant and the Tropic Bar were also extremely friendly, especially Renuka from the buffet restaurant, who was genuinely interested in our well-being. In addition, Chamod, Janitha, Prasad, Dinesh and Prasanna from the Tropic Bar deserves a mention.

Amazing Location, Nice Property but no Indian Veg options and slow housekeeping
Pros:

For a Humid place we were told that only one 500ml Bottle per pax is offered. Although on several request some more bottles were provided. Also at the restaurant no Indian Veg options were available.

Great stay in Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon.
Pros:

Hello everyone!
We had a very nice stay at Hikkaduwa Tranz by Cinnamon. We spent wonderful days there and had many interesting moments and experiences.

We saw baby turtles being released into the ocean, monitor lizards and small squirrels that regularly passed through the garden, and huge sea turtles on the beach. There are interesting reefs nearby where you can see beautiful fish and much more.

Honestly, we have no words to describe the staff. I don't know how to express my gratitude to the people who took care of our stay and made it comfortable and enjoyable - I am simply speechless. The people of Sri Lanka are the best and friendliest people we have ever met.

The hotel staff - at the reception and in the restaurant - every single one of them was extremely kind and always smiling. The food was excellent; many thanks to the chefs and sous chefs! Heartfelt thanks to the restaurant staff who served us — Gamini and Telakasiri. Thank you, all of you! 🙂

Special thanks to Uditha who cleaned our room every day and made sure everything was tidy and well organized.

Thank you all for everything!
Best wishes!

Sri Lanka perfect family vacation
Pros:

We had an exceptionally wonderful family holiday at HikkaTranz. The location is truly unbeatable with just metres from the lovely ocean, you could just spend hours looking at the amazing views, either from your own sea view balcony or in the pool area, which is, by the way one of the most beautiful ones I've been to.
The hotel and it's outside area are well maintained, the guards are present to make you feel secure and staff are always available. We saw birds, some iguanas and squirrels in the garden, it was very fun to watch them.
Sun loungers were always available and there were at least two beach access were you could enter to the public beach and if lucky, to see the giant turtles.
We went for AI and must say it was the one of the best we've had. Lots of variety and so fresh and delicious. We were taken very good care of by the lovely staff, especially would like to thank Thilakasiri, Sanjeewa and Gamini who were always there for us.

Our room was with sea view and did easily accommodate 3 persons (2 adults and a teenager). AC kept the room cool and the beds were comfortable, slept very well during our 10 night stay. Bathroom was big enough and plenty of space for your personal belongings.
Our room attendant Rasun took very good care of our room and it was always spotless. He was very attentive and making sure everything was taken care of.

Over all, HikkaTranz was very good choice and we definitely will come back! It must be one of the best hotels in the area, maybe the best one, the location is exceptional, the staff amazing and they really make sure you will make the most of your holiday!

Great weeks with the family
Pros:

Hospitality at its best! Spent 2 weeks with my family here. A big thanks to Chamila and Renuka in the restaurant, accompanied by Asoka, Kasun and the rest of the team you made every meal an wonderful experience.
Kumara in the bar made the coolest drinks by the pool, always with a friendly smile. Last but not least - Madushanka, always greeting us with a smile every day and the lovely folded animals as a little surpise in the room.

Thanks a lot to all of you and hope to see you soon again!

One of the worst band in Sri Lanka - SYNERGY
Pros:

Since 10:00 pm, I have been requesting a Sinhala song. She said management asked not to sing Sinhala songs and also mentioned that she doesn’t know any. Several people made requests because there were a couple of Sri Lankan guests. Even though they refused to play any Sinhala songs, we were very disappointed. On New Year’s Eve at Hikka Tranz, with such bands playing, they were able to play songs from other countries (which I prefer not to mention) when requested. The band seemed more interested in taking pictures and selfies with the crowd.
It is surprising that a band like this was selected for Hikka Tranz.

Not value for money , not en par
Pros:

Not worthing 400 usd per night (half board), i am sure your money can go further in other hotels in the area. Hotel feels like a bit run-down and a renovation is definitely needed. Service is very good though and you may enjoy good variety of cuisines in the buffet. I did two dives with the hotel’s dive shop; they are well organised and professional.
