Amazing stay!
Pros:

An absolutely phenomenal stay. Great room, amazing attentive staff, super clean, beautiful spaces and views. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel, we would have loved to stay longer and will do that if we ever find ourselves in the area again. Food was lovely at both restaurants as well. Dare I say our stay was perfect.

Cons:

Nothing bad at all.

Beside that is a bit too far to walk until Hikkaduwa orto other restaurants/shops, all was very nice
Pros:

Welcome from the staff and the fact that in the room I had a free bottle of wine, the gift when I left--Thank you again, I promise I will think about you when I will drink the tea!
I like the music by the TV when I came and all the time when I was there .I liked the apples :-).And the bottle of water on the beach. Very good service!I liked the air co without sound! and the electronic curtains. Congratulation to the staff and the management! And I like the welcome letter:-).Very clean room !!

Pros:

I’ve had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. The hotel is clean, beautiful, and very well maintained. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and the hospitality is truly exceptional. You can really feel how much they care about their guests and making sure everyone has a comfortable stay.

This is actually not my first time staying here, and that says a lot about how much I appreciate this place. Every visit has been a great experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to choose this hotel again. If I visit Sri Lanka for a third time, I will definitely be staying here again! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable stay with excellent service and genuine hospitality.

Pros:

Great food, attentive stuff and generally very clean. The only downside is that it's not a private beach.

Cons:

I would change the shampoo and conditioner bottles as they can easily break and it's harder to get the stuff out. But it's a minor thing. Generally great place

Exceptional stay with wonderful staff and facilities
Pros:

An exceptional stay at Riff Hikkaduwa, we loved everything! The room was absolutely incredible, one of the nicest rooms we have ever stayed in, the staff are so attentive kind and can not do enough to help you, the facilities are so well maintained and the breakfast is so tasty and fresh with lots of choice. I was so worried about mosquitos, however literally did not see one during our stay and didn’t have a single one in our room so it is clear they upkeep strict control at the hotel which is wonderful and reassuring.

Cons:

There is nothing not to like!
