The room was fine, good outside veranda, bed and towels good. The restaurant was excellent, very good, probably the best restaurant in the area. Food is made to order, fresh and of a very high standard, wide and varied choice. Go for an early walk on the beach and watch the local fisherman, interesting. ##### JOHN Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. The food was so good, I stayed an extra day. ##### Henry Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 19 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities From the greetings on arrival to the moment of departure, the staff and owners were only too happy to assist us. If you are looking for a place to relax and hang by the pool or walk down laneways for 10 minutes to a great swimming beach, this place is just great to wind down from the usual tourist trails. The grounds surrounding our accommodation had lots of wildlife, squirrels, geese and even some resident eagles in the coconut palms.. For western travellers, it's handy to know that they have reasonable bar with cold beer and glasses too..A tuk tuk into town is only 5 minutes when you want to see some of the sights such as the Dutch fort. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Indran 23 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was perfect. The bathrooms were clean, odorless, and good sized with a strong shower. The AC worked really well without being noisy. Meal options were great, high quality dishes made to order - so take care to order at least one hour before you want to eat. The property was so spacious with lots of shady spots to sit by the water. All the staff were incredibly helpful, like they ordered tuktuks for my aunt and I, and the tuktuks came very promptly. We were picked up to go to the railway station at 5:30 AM sharp. From an American perspective the prices of room and meals were all a fantastic deal. I also appreciated the universal charger in the room, which worked for my US plugs. The hotel is nice in that it doesn't feel overly touristy or ostentatious. It's a bit low key but immaculately clean and well-managed. Was interesting to also see the manager's model train set for a nominal fee, check it out on a rainy day esp. if you have kids. I would add, lastly, that the restaurant went to great lengths to accommodate my family member's request for low salt versions of all meals. ##### Indran Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ashwin 21 Dec 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Expensive for what you get.

It's listed on 'top ten things to do in Batti' as a place to have gin and tonic under the canopy sitting over the lagoon, and I can see why. The property was beautiful and well maintained, the pool was immaculate. I only ate the Sri Lankan food but it was delicious. My only complaint is the bed was extremely uncomfortable, and I left with a sore back, but if you're made of stern stuff it's completely the right place to stay in Batticaloa! ##### Stephanie ### 8/10 Good #### Flemming Max 11 Mar 2018 Liked: Staff & service Udfra billederne får man fornemmelsen af at være tæt på stranden. Det var en lagoon med krokodiller. Værelset var mørkt og dystert. Maden var god og hjælpsom personale ##### Flemming Max Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 21 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Riviera Resort Very pleasant extensive grounds with good swimming pool albeit a bit of a hike from our room (300m). Beautiful views of the lagoon and the hotel has lots of information about the area. The food pricing is tedious. Instead of including the price of a curry with 3 or 4 side vegetable curries each dish is separately priced which bumps the cost up. We had the good inclusive breakfast but if you don't, each item down to per slice of toast is separately priced! However, the room was excellent value for money and we wished we'd stayed here longer. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1930-p8272a570-16ea-11e8-9cbc-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s209-p711bb640-16ea-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s378-p888e0fd0-16ea-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s64-p76f1da40-16ea-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place with friendly and really helpful staff, clean pool and room were also really nice and basic :) Love this place! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christoph 5 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Würde ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Big room with a great shower though we encountered a frog because of a loosely fitted pipe. The spacious grounds are well kept and you can enjoy some time in a hammock overlooking the lagoon. Minor gripes are loud music at the otherwise good restaurant and the much too expensive laundry service. ##### Rikke Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [VICTORIA GOLF RESORT SRI LANKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-Golf-And-Country-Resort.h15895682.Hotel-Information) > > [Malabar Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Welipitiya-Hotels-Malabar-Hill.h38893995.Hotel-Information) > > [Gal Oya Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gal-Oya-Lodge.h12662912.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lion Hotel Buckden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Neots-Hotels-The-Lion-Hotel-Buckden.h38406002.Hotel-Information) > > [Pensions Austrian Alps](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Austrian-Alps-Pensions.d553248635995343425-aaPensions.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Polanco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polanco-Mexico-City-Hotels.0-n179291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Apartments Tirana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Apartments.d3433-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Uga Jungle Beach - Trincomalee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jungle-Beach-By-Uga-Escapes.h7754814.Hotel-Information) > > [Langdale Boutique Hotel by Amaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amaya-Langdale-Nuwara-Eliya.h5280996.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Marousi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marousi-Hotels.d178872.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Thotalagala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haputale-Hotels-Thotalagala.h35771158.Hotel-Information) > > [Avaana By SpringHills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avaana-By-SpringHills.h21123453.Hotel-Information) > > [Wattura Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wennappuwa-Hotels-Wattura-Resort-And-Spa.h33621862.Hotel-Information) > > [Primelodge Doncaster](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doncaster-Hotels-Primelodge-Doncaster.h17502279.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d2205-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Dawlish Warren](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dawlish-Warren-Hotels.d6342845.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Addis Ababa (ADD) to Emek Lod (TLV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/add/tlv/addis-ababa-to-tel-aviv) > > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Schwechat (VIE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/vie/southampton-to-vienna) > > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Bologna (BLQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/blq/belfast-to-bologna) > > [Flights from Paisley (GLA) to Sommacampagna (VRN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gla/vrn/glasgow-to-verona) > > [Flights from St. Peter (JER) to Cork (ORK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jer/ork/jersey-to-cork) > > [Emirates](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Emirates-Flights.cEK.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Peckham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Peckham.d6251538-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car hire in Bari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Bari.d680.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Orasac](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Orasac.d6123759.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ---
