4-Star Hotels in Matara

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

Ok, the location is not easy to find.

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! It’s 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.

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)

The property is located right by the beach, offering stunning ocean views and a calming ambiance. It’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The rooms were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed with a coastal vibe. Waking up to the sound of waves and the sea breeze was an absolute highlight. The staff were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile, making the stay even more enjoyable. The food was delightful—fresh, flavorful, and with plenty of options to choose from. I especially loved their seafood dishes, which were prepared to perfection. Another great feature was the location. It’s close enough to Mirissa’s main attractions but far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle, giving you the best of both worlds.

This hotel was amazing. They gave us a really good room. The staff was friendly and treated us well. The location is closer to good beaches, bars and restaurants. I recommend this hotel to everyone.
