Enrico and his team were super helpful and organised a new room for us which was in mint condition! We also had a delicious breakfast and the location was perfect distance to Weligama, Ahangama and Mirissa. Were also very helpful and accomodating for us to leave our suitcase behind and checkout late so that we could squeeze in a quick last swim. Strongly recommend.

The hosts are a wonderful family, super friendly and helpful. They built those beautiful apartments nearby the river allowing visitors to be in the centre of the rainforest. The river is quite loud so one needs to hear that in mind but I personally loved it, such closeness to nature.

Simply an absolutely FANTASTIC PLACE. This is the best hotel we've stayed at in Sri Lanka. Beautiful place, incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Full credit to the staff here, who are amazing. They are so helpful and always ready to assist whenever needed. The room is very clean, and the staff constantly check if we need anything or if we want the room cleaned. Great breakfast. The hotel is even better than the pictures. Altso the best bed in whole Sri lanka. This place is highly recommended!!❤️

Very beautiful stay with the most lovely people!! The pool is very nice, and the views are amazing. The rooms are big, clean and the shower is very nice (and hot!). It's not too far to walk to the center and the beach, but the location of Sapiens Home is quiet en peaceful. The breakfast is delicious. The staff is more than welcoming and kind, where they helped us when there were stray dogs in the street and we could not get passed them and made me feel special on my birthday with cake, a board and congratulations. We really enjoyed our stay!

I absolutely loved everything. The Yard is such a beautiful little gem in Hiriketiya. So stylish and nicely decorated. The room I stayed it had lovely evening light and I enjoyed the vibe in the house. The staff were so friendly and easy going. (Loved the real Ceylon Ice tea as a welcome drink) So flavourful ;-) Would totally recommend it. Ah, and there´s a little turtle in the garden. Too cute.

The very quiet Gardens, the lovely breakfasts, beautiful empty beach, lovely pool and courteous attentive staff. We had a gorgeous room with an out door,roll top bath. If you're looking for a quiet beach, this will hit the spot. The waves are strong so probably best for confident swimmers though you won't have to be an Olympian! The main house is also gorgeous with an airy colonial vibe. Evening meals can be taken at the beach restaurant over the road ( not a busy road). The place is gated with a 24hour watch for the security minded. Various swings, hammocks and board games dotted around. Peacocks, bee-eaters, monitor lizards and chipmunks abound. Heard a Coppersmith Barbet but didn't see it. Fruit bats fly over at sunset. Heaven!

Dickwella Beachside Hotel is a lovely little haven right on the beach with only a 10 minute stroll into the town and a 5 minute tuk tuk ride to Hiriketiya Beach and its lovely restaurants 🏖 Family run, the girls are simply beautiful and their friendly smiles will stay with you forever. Nothing is too much trouble 🙏 The rooms with balcony overlooking the beach are large enough, clean and bathroom both spacious and modern. Great hot water for a shower and both aircon and fan worked well 👍 The restaurant and bar serve great food and cold drinks to overlook the surf beach behind. Ample lounges and day beds on the beach 🏝. Only a 5 minute stroll along the beach to all the pop up bars and cafes 🏖.

The open room was gorgeous and we loved the birding even from the shower! The hotel food was great but do yourself a favour and also try Funny Banana just a few steps away on the beach.

The hotel management are not good to deal with and I would not recommend this place at all. It looks pretty on the outside but full of problems and poor design, unsafe and unhygienic aspects that are a major concern. Hiring hot water shower that has no safety option even when it is not on high hot water setting, it can burn. The deluxe room we were offered has no windows at all and a dingy hole with no natural light or ventilation but advertised as having an outdoor dining room. It is falsely advertised to mislead people an we refused to stay in the room and had a mattress in the sea view room for which they charged us half the room rate when we didn’t even have a ton, just a mattress an they failed to even provide a towel. Their service is horrendous - stay away from this place and don’t be misled by the pretty photos like we’re. Even beach there not safe to swim and too far from Mirissa main beach so there is really nothing going for this place except the superficial looks.

Weligama is a truly charming coastal town that offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, relaxation, and local culture. The famous Weligama beach with its golden sands and gentle waves is ideal for swimming, surfing, and long peaceful walks, especially during sunset. The area has a calm and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly locals, excellent seafood, and a variety of cafes and restaurants to enjoy. Whether you are looking for adventure, wellness, or simply a quiet escape, Weligama provides a refreshing and memorable experience. Its scenic surroundings, lush greenery, and warm hospitality make Weligama a must-visit destination for anyone travelling to Sri Lanka.

Matara isn't a big town so it is relatively quick to get from A to B. The beach is beautiful. But there aren't that many restaurants in in the town. The Matara Rest House near the fort had good food and drinks and is one of the most worth it dining options nearby. Lemon is also a good option. There are restaurants closer to the touristy spots but those are on the pricier side. snorkeling with turtles is popular in Matara.

Talalla beach is clean and not crowded like many on the South coast of Sri Lanka. Relax all day under the sun and take a dip in to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Not really a surfing beach but the right hand end in front of Talalla Retreat is safe for swimming. Friendly locals and a small supermarket nearby. Ate at all the local restaurants - they were all excellent, especially Manju Cinnamon Hut.

The beach is attractive with palm trees and beach bars, however it is very narrow and at high tide there is very little sand available for relaxing. The waves are quite ferocious at times even though the weather was calm and only the strongest and most confident swimmers were able to swim past the breakers and surf, also beware of the jet ski which operates from the area where you access the beach from the hotel, this was an additional menace.
