"Our family of three checked into the hotel during the first week of May 2025. Unfortunately, our overall experience was underwhelming. Room service was disappointing, our order was incorrect, and we chose not to send it back as we assumed it would take a long time to receive the correct one. It also took three separate calls just to receive the room service menu.
Additionally, we were charged for ice despite having an active room service food bill, which felt unreasonable. When we inquired about evening entertainment (Friday eve), the front desk assured us a live band would be performing, but this never happened.
It appeared the resort seems to operate with minimal staff, which may explain the drop in service quality. On a positive note, we were warmly welcomed by a great host at check-in, and the barman at the pool bar made excellent cocktails and provided friendly service. Hopefully, this could be just a rare slip-up."

"Rest on INIDI VILLA made memorable impressions on us! Initially it was planned to stay for three days and change the location, but eventually stayed for the whole holiday. Here is the atmosphere of calm, calm and privacy. The villa is located on the shore of the sea, far from the tourist spots. On the territory of the villa is a beautiful clean pool, palm trees that hide from the burning sun. Clean and comfortable rooms, a cozy living room and kitchen. polite, attentive and caring staff. Nalin and Chatura quickly resolved all the questions. Thushan and his team cleaned the room every day. I would like to write about the chef Piyasiri, who cooked great dishes on our individual orders. Fresh fish, seafood, lops, variety of fruit and vegetables, traditional local desserts! Everything was incredibly tasty! Always had big servings and everything was at the top level!
An interesting sight when the local fishermen caught fish in the morning and then this fish hit us on the table.
Overall, we have the most pleasant emotions from this place. Thank you to all staff for the warm and soulful reception!"
"Initial experience wasn’t great at check-in, as the staff wasn’t giving accurate information about dinner prices, and wasn’t very friendly. There were also a few issues in the room. But the front desk was able to coordinate with their internal house keeping and engineering team to solve the problems. We were happy with their services in the end."

Amazing
GGuest UserThis is more a resort then a normal hotel. with good facilities .
Even though it is more then 20 years old it is still o'kay and is currently being updated and renovated.
Back when it first opened ,it was probably the best resort in all of Sri Lanka!!
Quiet location ,a bit out of town ,but easy to get a Tuk Tuk to get around.
it is about 2 hours by bus from Colombo ,or probably quicker by train ........ but not as much fun!
Staff where freindly and helpful if needed.
MmanaStayed alone for 2 days.
➕
All the staff are friendly.
Number of items on the breakfast buffet. Western food, Sri Lankan food, Indian food, so you won't get tired of it every day.
There are two pools, so you don't have to be crowded.
There was a gym and a daily program, and I participated in morning and evening training sessions, but since I was the only one there, I was given one-on-one instruction, which was really fun.
The cleaners are very friendly.
The room was spacious and I could hear the birds singing.
Being able to see the sunset on the nearby beach every day.
➖
When I wanted to grab a few drinks and grab a bite to eat in the evening, the Italian restaurant was closed and when I tried to use the bar, there weren't many vegetarian or vegan options.
Nothing around.
The nearby beach has too high waves for swimming.
GGuest UserUnfortunately underwhelming...
We booked a room with 2 double beds (alternatively 2 single bed) for a higher price because that's what we wanted - when we checked in, we were given a room with 1 double bed. Unfortunately the bed couldn't be spitted and no other room was available (which we highly doubted, as we were one of the early one's checking in that day).
We received a very soft co-sleeper bed...
The first night, we went to bed quite early as we were exhausted from the day. Suddenly, there was banging on the door - up to 10 times - before I was awake enough to open the door to 2 service guys from the hotel, giving me some cut fruits and 4 pralines - at 10:30pm!? I was totally confused by the time and behaviour...
Also the personnel wasn't of great help when asked regarding directions, post office, or else...
We just didn't like the experience we had in this hotel.
SStephen WeerachandraI had a pleasant stay at Cinnamon Bay Beruwala. The positive aspects include excellent service, starting from the warm welcome with a towel and juice at check-in, continuing throughout our stay until check-out. All the staff were friendly, kids activity center is a plus and the surroundings were very spacious and pleasant. The rooms were good, and I would definitely recommend their service, giving it a double thumbs up.
On the downside, the reading light was broken, there were no bathroom slippers or robes, and the shampoo, lotion, and conditioner bottles were made of ceramic. If these ceramic bottles break, they could cause injury. I suggest that the hotel switch to safer materials for these items.
Overall, I would rate our stay 3.8 out of 5. We really enjoyed our time there. If you're looking for excellent service in Beruwala, don't hesitate to book this hotel.
GGuest UserHotel is in a beautiful location. Only one hotel staff has taken care of all the hotel tasks.it was nice. We booked 3 nights. Instead of our booked room, we received another room first two days. There was a defect air conditioning and very hot.through the big window all streets pedestrians from outside can see us.the big window was without a hang. The room was not so beautiful, ordened and clean. Our booked room was rented for another guest.
Last day we received our booked room. The room with sea view was beautiful and air conditioning worked.
We had a very good breakfast! European and Sri Lankan.
MM234521****The room is very big. The hotel upgraded me to a sea view room for free. When I opened the curtains, I could see the sea view. It was very beautiful. The sunset view was also very beautiful. The beach was also very big. I saw a beach volleyball court, but no one was playing at the moment. The swimming pool was very big and long. It was very friendly to me who likes swimming.
GGinge55* hotel booked to end our trip in style.
Bar staff and cleaners were super happy, polite and love to great the guests in the hotel.
Reception staff were generally unhelpful. I tried to book activities and excursions, but was initially told to go the hotel next door before being given a random book
While trying to sort late check out one receptionist began serving another customer over my head. Late check out was eventually agreed to which was helpful but after being sat face to face in silence for minutes.
Facilities are wonderful. Nice private beach, great pool area. Two bars and buffet style restaurant with ala carte option.
Locals got charged significantly less for our event dinner. Some would say that's fair, others would disagree, but not being transparent probably suggests it was trying to be hidden.
Service wasn't 5*. When we arrived our bedding was ripped and had a huge hole in it. Thankfully this was fixed, but I think atleast 2/3 people came to check before it was resolved.
