We had an amazing stay at hotel Dormero. The hotels right in front of the beach which made it very convenient for us to go around swimming and other beach activities which were nearby. The room itself was kept spotless with daily housekeeping. The staff were very nice and polite. We even had the opportunity to celebrate new years with the staff and eat amazing food. Thank you for a lovely stay. Would recommend.

A nice hidden spot near the railway station with fleeting views of the beach, friendly staff and access to the gym next door. It’s a reasonable walk to Turtle Bay, but the main restaurants/bars are approximately 15 min walk away. BUT, a Tuktuk is like £1 (GBP) so very reasonable. A great stay overall.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Coral Sands. Whilst we have stayed in more luxurious hotels we found that all the staff from the pool men, to bar staff, to the room cleaners, to the senior management went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Constantly trying to please without over pestering, it was thoroughly enjoyable. We chose Hikkaduwa, because we hoped the sea would be calmer in this area and more suitable for swimming than other beaches and on our experience this...

First time in Sri Lanka. Simply one of the best hotels we have stayed in anywhere. Friendly, courteous staff who couldn't do enough for us, a superb room with a balcony offering a beautiful beach view. We stayed five nights and didn't bother to eat anywhere else - the food was excellent. We wanted to take the chef home with us. We took long walks along the beaches and spent a lot of time in the wonderful hotel grounds and by the very stylish infinity pool. We want to visit Sri Lanka again soon...

Had a brilliant time at Cocobay over Christmas and New Year. Enjoyed it so much, we stayed some extra days. Private beach is a small piece of heaven and i swam to jungle beach (about a mile) and that was super fun too. (can get a short rickshaw ride or walk also).
Food was great, Sri Lankan or international cuisine available. Stayed in two different rooms and both great, clean and with sea and palm tree views. Going to Unawatuna which is great but always happy to come back. Special thanks to...

Loved this property. The reception was so friendly and welcoming. The pool is lovely. The food and drinks (aside from one mistake) was good and reasonably priced. We often had the beach to ourselves. A few things, such as the gym and probably do with a bit of an update/clean but it was the end of the season and there were very few people to use it.
The TV was good for English speakers, should you want news or movies. The hair dryer and mirror were outside of the shower and toilet area,...

Nice hotel and place to relax, only things to maybe improve would be to add some ventilation to the bathroom as it turned into a sauna and to maybe increase the amount purchased for the restaurant as it did regularly not have my first choice of food - not great as there aren't many other options in the locality

A delightful setting, comfortable facilities and obliging staff who couldn't do enough yet respected privacy. Food superb, individually prepared and in amounts to feed an army! Private plunge pool a real asset. For a few days pretending to get away from it all, cannot be beaten. Only criticism is that check-in and check-out at the main hotel (The Lighthouse) was rather chaotic - forgotten about (twice) during the former and charged twice during the latter. Oh yes.... and don't forget the Jungle...

Both the breakfast and dinner buffets were fresh with a good range of choices, regularly changed. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Methuli on the front desk was particularly helpful. I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to planning a return visit
