Amaranthe Bay Resort & Spa

"Great location. Great service. Lovely and peaceful. Relaxing way to spend your holiday."

Nilaveli Beach Hotel

"Location is beautiful; beach is wonderful. Hotel clean but starting to show it's 50 years. Food was decent but very overpriced for Sri Lanka and the service was a bit lacklustre. Staff seemed to want to push everyone towards the overpriced buffet every evening. It was a nice but not a great experience; marred mainly by absolutely useless WiFi (none whatsoever in rooms and almost non existent in the bar and lobby) Beach is very peaceful but you can't really walk anywhere due to the Naval Beach to the South of the resort."

Jeys Place

"Nice, quiet and decent accomodation in the beach village Nilaveli with very attentive staff! A large green garden in front of every room. Justin, one of the staff members was both a great chef but also showed an extreme level of service which I enjoyed a lot during my 3 nights staying there!"

Thirumalai Park

"One of the worst hotels on the island...no air conditioning, the stuffiness is terrible. We spent two nights here. I had nightmares... I woke up every hour from lack of air. There is no hot water provided. The linen is of terrible quality... it feels like bed fleas are biting. 850 meters from the beach. Walk along the country road. There are a lot of cows and dogs on the beach. Quite dirty. On the left side is a security zone with a radiation sign. After 18:00 we couldn’t get to the beach due to a lot of wild and angry dogs... this is also the first time I’ve seen it. The food at the hotel is tasteless, they don’t know how to cook at all. And very expensive at that. 6,000 rupees for two for tuna overcooked to black and fresh juice from who knows what. There are a lot of intrusive dogs on the hotel premises that rush at you from all angles. God forbid you end up with food in your hands. To get into the room you have to work hard to drive them away. There is nowhere to eat outside the hotel. This is a village."

The Beach House Nilaveli

"Overall, it's a good place: spacious rooms, 30 meters from the endless, deserted beach (through the grounds of the neighboring resort). You can use the resort's sun loungers. Breakfasts were excellent. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The staff was polite and helpful. Any issues that arose were resolved promptly. The main problem was upon check-in, when the owner said he couldn't see my reservation. It turned out his infrastructure was tailored exclusively to *********** and Agoda. It was a bit of a bummer..."
