"Friendly and happy staff in all areas which says a lot about how the hotel is run.
Had my room unexpectedly upgraded on arrival due to a fault found with the originally booked room.
The room I had did have a small issue with the private jacuzzi leaking but no major issues.
Food and drink were excellent throughout my stay.
Highly recommend staying here to anybody wanting a few days of relaxing peace after touring the country."

"Friendly hosts who showed us the property and let us enjoy in peace. Stronger wifi would have been helpful, however the location and the cleanliness helped us overlook that!"

I would highly recommend Sergeant House. The rooms were very clean, beautifully decorated and good air conditioning. Lots of welcome extras included such as insect repellent, cookies, robes, sunhat and beach towels. The hotel is in a great location but set back from the road so lovely and peaceful. The manager was really helpful in arranging tours and airport transfers

Nice hotel very clean price ok for the area good bfast service superb very helpful only downside is the steep hill from the road to the hotel but they have a bell on the gate post and a tuk tuk will take you up
Once on site the views are fantastic and the infinity pool is an added bonus

One of the Best Hotel Stays We've Ever Had
We stayed in the Yanai room at Sielen Diva, and it was possibly one of the best hotel rooms I’ve ever experienced. The panoramic ocean view from the bed is absolutely breathtaking — we spent hours just gazing through the window, completely at peace.
This hotel feels like it was thoughtfully and optimally designed around the oceanfront. Whether it’s the rooms, the lounge area, or the stunning infinity pool, everything is positioned to keep the sea in...

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...

Lovel peaceful hotel - slightly away from central street , but handy for beach. The benefit of being away from centre is that property was well laid out and spacious - properties closer to beach and centre appeared to be quite cramped. Hotel had all facilities you could have asked for - including kettle on 1st floor verandah. We were in no rush to leave

My room was spotless and had everything I needed. The family that run it are friendly and kind, they can't do enough for you. A few minutes walk takes you to the beach, restaurants and bars.

The accommodation itself was fantastic, with very tastefully done rooms with lovely bathroom and outdoor seating area. The breakfast was also amazing and worth the stay just by itself!!! Finally, the customer service was second to none - nothing was tom much trouble for the hosts.

We really enjoyed staying at this lovely hotel. It has a really quiet and tranquil setting on a nice stretch of beach. There were a number of turtles in the sea just by the hotel. The room itself was very comfortable and clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We also had some nice meals at the property. Highly recommended.

Staff are fabulous, rooms lovely and overlook the sea. The restaurant is good - excellent range of dinner choices. While it is very touristy an on a main road, it’s right on the beach and not too noisy.

everything is made to make you feel welcome, the staff is wonderful, from the cleaners to the pool technician, the cooks , the people at the reception and the manager, thank you all for this lovely stay!
the place is a little paradise on earth, the rooms, the restaurant, the swimming pool, the location, one of the best place we ever stay.
2 steps away from the beach, jungle, shopping, restaurants etc.., but away from the busy main street.
will defitinely come back!

My wife and I spent four nights at this hotel and we were treated to a lovely suite overlooking the ocean. The trip was mainly planned to relax from the busy work life and this hotel delivered this perfectly. The seas were a bit rough at this time of year, so we had a brief dip at Jungle beach which is a 5 min walk from the hotel. If you are looking for a gym, its 15 mins away by walk or 5 mins by tuktuk (we tried it once, but we really wanted to relax instead).
