Such a lovely place !
Decorated with taste, friendly welcomed by Jeremy Julie and their staff, this place beach front is a hidden gem.
An immersive experience in a local village, closeby Hiriketiya and even closer to the turtle point.
Perfect to chill, explore, bodyboard or snorkel

A beautiful place. The hotel is located right on the shore of the ocean, all rooms with balconies and ocean view. Staff is very hospitality, helped carry bags, cleaned the room at request and always smiled. I would like to note the hotel manager, Darya. met in the hotel at the settlement, told about the hotel, about the surroundings where and what you can see, always was in contact.
Hotel restaurant, just wonderful. All the dishes (mostly Italian) were very delicious. On the last day, at our request, the cook cooked a set of Sri Lanka national dishes, it was great.
All additionally served the bread basket, butter.
The pool is clean, warm.
Rooms with good repair and normal furniture. Air conditioning worked quietly. The plumbing is in good condition.

Excellent little spot by the beach, in our opinion this end of the beach was much nicer than the main Dikwella bay. Clean, calm and quiet - everything you could ask for. The hotel has private sun loungers which are always empty and available.
The hotel food is great, the pizza is cheap and absolutely amazing. We tried surf lessons with an excellent surf school next door which was great fun.
The rooms are basic, but comfortable and clean - totally fine.
Hiriketiya is just 5 minutes down the road in a Tuk Tuk and to be honest this beachfront is much nicer than Hiriketiya which we found busy, touristy and dirty - but there are some great cafes, shops and restaurants to head over for in the evening or morning.
Casa Smeralda staff were helpful and attentive - they always went above and beyond to be helpful and kind.
Overall, I would highly recommend this stay to anyone who wants a peaceful, calm beach hotel to relax in!
Side note: delivery apps did not work to this location but there are plenty of local restaurants to walk to.

The hotel has a beautiful and quiet environment, and the decoration design is very textured. The view of the mountain is very beautiful. It is not far from the beach and the bustling town. The geographical location can be said to be quite excellent. However, since the hotel is located on the top of a hill, the road up and down the mountain is very narrow and muddy, making it difficult for vehicles to go up and down the mountain. When we finally reached the top of the mountain and discussed check-out with the hotel staff, we asked them to use the hotel's tuktuk to help us take our luggage down the mountain. (We had booked 5 rooms for several families that night, so you can imagine how much luggage we had.) But they refused. Even when I offered to give them a certain tip, they didn't agree. It was amazing! Itâs OK for us to walk up and down the mountain normally, but how can we carry so much luggage? It's really too much that the hotel doesn't even consider this for its guests. Even our driver, a local Sri Lankan, criticized the hotel for its poor service. Fortunately, our driver was helpful and contacted the hotel manager through an acquaintance. He then arranged for a service staff to take our luggage downstairs and received a tip of 2,000 rupees. But the bad service experience still left us with a bad impression.

Guest UserThe hotel is so beautiful, the view from my room was extremely stunning, the staff are so nice and polite especially the guy at the reception , definitely will stay there if i went again to that area , only issue i faced is that it kinda far from the main street but the hotel staff helped me to get the tuk tok when i asked them as i donât drive, but if you do have motorcycles then that wont be an issue for you , either way the view from the hotel is worth the struggle

The host of the Suren Hotel is very trembling to treat its guests, any request was decided very quickly. The hotel team is trying to make your holiday perfect! In the hotel itself very clean, the area is dented.

Very nice hotel with barbecue buffet
It's right by the sea, the atmosphere is great at night, and you can surf during the day
The room facilities are average, but OK. I recommend staying in that kind of house (the hotel's single-family villa is comfortable)
