Staff couldn’t do enough for you and general manager was around and introduced himself during breakfast. Cocktails and food was great. Breakfast was excellent. So many choices and nothing too much trouble. I can see it may be an issue in high season, but in October there was enough sunloungers at the pool and beach for everyone. Water supplied in room and on the beach/pool areas. WiFi was fast and reliable. Hotel offered turn down service which was a nice touch. Tip try the King Colada!

It was extremely comfortable with great service. A fab pool and direct access to the beach. The food was delicious in both the downstairs restaurant and the rooftop restaurant - especially the grilled seafood (lobster and prawns!) and the a la carte breakfast was fantastic. We loved having drinks on the rooftop at sunset every evening, with great views and live music. Felt very spoilt! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ee34430e-5241-4e4b-a025-81a0a1150bfc-1745483640913.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b067a799-aa4c-4dfc-a33e-753d99e594f4-1745483640409.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7fee3131-4911-4177-ab74-a6f627449502-1745483640826.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4edc3d59-80f2-4c2d-a926-6f647d28db7c-1745483640415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### douglas 9 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really lovely property in the quieter and more upmarket end of Hikkaduwa. Fantastically friendly staff, a beautiful pool and modern, well maintained rooms. Dining options were top notch and surprisingly affordable for a 5 star hotel. Would definitely recommend. ##### douglas Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 13 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Magic stay at Riff Hikkaduwa Super nice hotel and rooms.

Enjoyed our one night stay at this beach hotel. We had a lovely sea facing room with a balcony . Breakfast was buffet style and had a wide variety of food. The hotel has a small infinity pool and beach loungers with shade. We appreciated being able to order food and drink from the beach. The hotel has a gym and spa and friendly staff. Only slight downside, the hotel is a little out of the main town. Overall, a great place to relax. ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janette 25 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We loved it and went back. This was our second stay on our trip in Sri Lanka as we enjoyed the hotel so much the first time. Lovely comfortable rooms. The hotel staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. We dined in both restaurants and the food was excellent in each one. The rooftop bar has a really nice vibe to enjoy the stunning sunsets/cocktails. Would totally recommend if in this area. ##### Janette Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela 25 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Riff is fabulous as are facilities and particularly the staff were all excellent. Raymond runs a tight ship. When you are in the hotel you could be in any fabulous beach location however once you step outside the door you remember you are in a third world country. ##### Angela Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joshua 27 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### New very nice hotel New hotel looks and feels great. Nice staff. Gym could be bigger. They make out being sustainable with lots of carboard use but some of the cardboard is pointless and meant a tree was chopped down for nothing. Then inside the cardboard are plastic products in plastic non-recycleable wrapping. Beach front is great and can have a morning walk or jog along the sea ##### Joshua Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janette 9 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful!!! Just wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Beautifully designed hotel, rooms were so stylish. We kindly got upgraded with our hotels.com points and the room was stunning. The staff were all so friendly and made you feel very welcome. Food was good. Rooftop bar is a little gem to enjoy with live music while we ate from the Japanese restaurant menu. A lot of love and thought has gone in to this hotel and wish we could have stayed longer but it was fully booked. 100% recommend if in this area. Only improvement would be to have more parasols for the sun loungers as the sun is so strong. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4B412B87160656A9AC104789348620726FD091961712643200895.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/924E00860F749569FA34A2763CF7E945EE964F501712643200415.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CD77FBBD0F78FADA79DDEF5E70180EF00781482A1712643199051.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FCB4D2B3D1FC87B0FED4D3AE0207A3DA5FCD0DBB1712643200903.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Janette Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Waruna 11 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful and clean hotel, Design suites are beautiful.

The sushi restaurant had no digital menu on their IG account and had a very long wait time for orders but presuming that's because it was very quiet not many guests... Aside from that, beautiful experience in Hikkaduwa! ##### Naiima Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis Mark 20 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A lovely stay in Paradise My girlfriend and i were on A vacation around in Sri Lanka and the last stop on our tour was the brand new hotel Riff - Hikkaduwa. This little paradise will stay in our minds for a very long time!!! I’m used to travel around the world for business, but I have never seen this kind of service and standard at this price in Asia or other places on earth. Always smiling staff and ready to serve you as there special guest. It feels like home because of the hospitality from the staff. They will do whatever you like to give you the perfect stay. Wonderful rooms with a beautiful view to the beach and pool. Wonderful Pool. Wonderful Beach. Wonderful staff. Wonderful restaurant. And the last thing not to forget, The amassing view from the roof terrace. If you travel to Sri Lanka´s Westcoast around Hikkaduwa I will highly recommend book a room on Riff – You will never forget the place. Thank you for the stay. We will be back. ##### Dennis Mark Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stine 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dejligt lyst og moderne hotel på stranden Meget fint og modern butikhotel lige ud til vandet.
