The room was clean and simple, with a large balcony facing the sea where you could enjoy the sunset from the sofa and gaze at Galle Fortress across the water. There was also a small swimming pool, which wasn't crowded and was quite pleasant. We thought that being located by the sea would allow us to go down to the beach, but no one told us, and we couldn't find the way. It was a waste of such a stunning sea view. The breakfast was average, so overall, the hotel's value for money was only so-so.

The property has a shared lounge, as well as barbecue facilities. The property provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transportation, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property.

The area is popular for hiking and snorkeling, in addition, bike rental and car rental are available at this hotel.
Galle International Cricket Stadium is 12 miles from Kahaii Surf hotel, while Galle Fort is 12 miles from the property. Koggala Airport is 3.7 miles away.
The hotel is located in the heart of Hikkaduwa, but the facilities are quite old. The air conditioning, dehumidifier, and fan were so noisy they gave me a headache. However, the beach environment and the several sea turtles near the shore made up for it! The outdoor area of the hotel had many squirrels and lizards, which the kids loved. Finally, the diving center's instructor was very professional and great. Unfortunately, the coral reef resources at this dive site are scarce, and the water visibility isn't great, so the underwater views were only average.
Very close to the beach, the day before the hotel was very late at about nine o'clock, I fell asleep directly. I woke up in the morning and saw the blue sky and sea. I was in a very good mood. There seem to be many Russians in the hotel, and the restaurant also specially put a Russian menu. My favorite is the early morning pool, the private venue, casual swimming, the deepest is about two meters, great. The breakfast is also very good, except for the local curry, I can accept it, the papaya is very sweet. Be sure to stay for two more days next time.
The breakfast and dinner buffet is very good.I asked for masala tea and their indian chef Balbeer Singh made it to perfection.The rooms are spacious and clean.
Friendly and helpful staff.We are taken care of very well by Jayaru and Nelka.
We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and the hotel made it very special.
The only mark down for the hotel is lack of sun loungers and parasols for the guests.You are constantly struggling to get shade under the trees.A 5 star hotel should make provision for their guests.As they would have details of all bookings.
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by wonderfully friendly staff at the reception desk, and our positive impression continued when we saw our room. It was incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean and a perfect space to relax in.
Unfortunately, our enthusiasm dipped when we looked out the window. We had eagerly anticipated the sea view we booked, but found ourselves on the first floor looking directly onto the main path to the restaurant. The lack of both a view and privacy was a real disappointment.
The challenges were compounded by a local festival taking place during our stay. This rendered the beach unusable due to the sheer volume of people. Worse, the road closures made leaving the hotel a logistical headache, leaving us feeling a bit trapped. A final frustration was discovering there were no shops nearby and no convenience store in the hotel itself, so be sure to pack everything you might need.
In summary, while we can't fault the hotel on its cleanliness or the friendliness of its staff, the experience was significantly hampered by the room mix-up and the festival chaos. It wasn’t a bad stay, but it was far from the relaxing getaway we had planned.
Останавливались в этом отеле на 2 ночи, нас быстро заселили и встретили приветственным напитком. Сотрудники ресепшена были очень приветливы, а вот остальные сотрудники отеля очень странно себя вели(шумели, кричали, ругались между с собой).
Наш номер был чистый и опрятный, в номере был большой балкон, а также
большой холодильник. Очень хороший был напор воды в душе. Локация отеля тоже отличная(через дорогу пляж, 5 минут пешком до продуктового магазина) Опасайтесь мафию тук тукеров
We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, we were quickly checked in and greeted with a welcome drink. The reception staff were very friendly, but the rest of the hotel staff were very strange (noisy, shouting, arguing with each other).
Our room was clean and tidy, the room had a large balcony, and
a large refrigerator. The water pressure in the shower was very good. The location of the hotel is also great (across the street from the beach, 5 minutes walk to the grocery store) Stay away from Tuk Tuk Mafia
Nestled by the lake with expansive lawns, the hotel offers a truly wonderful environment. The room amenities were also excellent. It was delightful to spot various small birds and squirrels freely roaming the lobby and playing on the hotel's grounds – our children were absolutely thrilled. The swimming pool was also fantastic, and there was so much for the kids to do right on-site that they barely needed to leave the hotel. Breakfast was a generous spread, and the service was exceptionally warm. They can arrange transport to Yala and Bundala. Unfortunately, it wasn't bird-watching season, so we missed out on Bundala. However, should we visit Bundala again, we would definitely choose to stay here.
A very high-quality hotel. The student interns provide excellent, lively service. They arranged everything for us, from snorkeling to a safari tour. It's also within walking distance to the beach, and there are many restaurants nearby. We will definitely come back here again.
The hotel is in a good location, the room is spacious, and fruits are provided. The price of dinner in the restaurant is medium. Unfortunately, it comes with a 10-minute massage per person, but there is only one masseur. This needs to be improved because it rained heavily on the day we arrived and the outdoor swimming pool was unavailable.

LLvchaxiongThe hotel's swimming pool is good, the water quality is relatively good, and the swimming pool is relatively large. It can score 5 points;
The hotel's Wi-Fi is very slow and basically unusable. This negative review is worth 1 point;
The hotel's food is average and can be scored 4 points;
The accommodation conditions are B&Bs, so don’t expect too much;
The conditions of the hotels next to Yala Park are very average, and that's about it.
Regarding chartered cars in Yala National Park, please do not step into the trap. Jeep chartered cars are all priced uniformly by market associations. According to the model, the price is 13,000-15,000 rupees for 4 hours for half a day and double for the whole day. You can buy the park tickets alone. Any quotation in the name of a turnkey package, whether it is a driver introduction or a hotel recommendation, is a scam. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled and ask for price details! ! !
The folk customs in Yala are not very simple, so be sure to avoid pitfalls!
GGuest UserLoved the location, which is within short walking distance to the Galle lighthouse. But what I loved the most was the modern interiors of this Art Deco building . Our room was well designed and clean, complete with a bathtub and lovely marble finishing. I personally felt that the bed was one of the most comfortable I experienced during my week in Sri Lanka. I also enjoyed the sunset views from the rooftop bar and the pool, even though a little small was great for cooling down after exploring the old town on foot. My only comment would be that the shower amenities weren't in a good place, could easily slip during shower time.
Breakfast had an option of either local fare (to be prebooked) and western fare which was tasty. Definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Sri Lanka.
GGuest UserWe stayed here for 2 nights, it was a slightly older property but the owner and family were so helpful and lovely. The pool was great and the Yala national park was fun
FFrankThe hotel is well-known, a little old, but the area and overall atmosphere are normal. The price/quality ratio is reasonable. An excellent restaurant overlooking the ocean and a very strange restaurant where breakfast and dinner are held (reviews on Google maps) confirm this. The beach is a little dirty, but this is not a problem of the hotel but of the local population in general.
GGuest UserOutpost is really good choice for Weligama trip during the season. Next to the quiet part of thr beach, tasty (but not cheap) cafe, comfortable rooms and very helpfull staff, strong wifi.
But for offseason could be a bit offsided. No cafe around, nothing on the beach, need to walk to any store or activity.
Several points to make your stay more comfortable:
1. Roomservice upon request
2. In beachfront rooms the beds are not fixed to tables behind them (as you see on foto). So be carefull, it moves =)
3. Ask about foot shower location in front of the hotel. It's a bit hidden.
JJD75Minimalistic hotel rooms well located off Silent Beach in Tangalle. Nice communal pool and a small amount of rooms makes the villa quite tranquil and never busy. The staff are wonderful and the chef cooks delicious food which is all very reasonably priced. I just recommend you stay away from beef in this country as it’s quite inedible, this seems a common theme whether you’re buying a cheap burger or an expensive beef dish. The only detractions to the accomodation was a foul odour emanating from the shower in the mornings, but it did dissipate thereafter. Also I find there is little point of an in-room safe if it isn’t bolted to the ground. You can literally walk in and pick the safe up and exit the room making it redundant. Rooms are well appointed and well priced for the area given the two luxury alternatives are the Amanwella resort which is quite dated and much more expensive and the Anantara Peace Haven which is more expensive but also a fantastic product. The local beach here is beautiful. I would stay here again, but I expect rooms will be hard to come by as the country lacks 5 star resorts at this time. I would stay here again no doubt and recommend the property.
Hhitomi928Facilities: Not a newly opened hotel, but there is still a high standard of Shangri-La, especially want to go to the SPA, but unfortunately there is no time at all, you must go to experience it next time.
Hygiene: house keeping is very good, there is no dead end in health
Environment: The hotel has a large range, golf course, various activities facilities, and the swimming pool is big enough
Service: The best must be service, whether it is the front desk, restaurant, breakfast, room, lounge, caddie, where the waiters are particularly friendly and kind, have dinner at SERA for three consecutive nights, the last night, the little brother also prepared a special layout for us, very touched. The child was even more reluctant to give up on him, and agreed to go to him next time.
Shangri-La makes us feel that Sri Lanka is full of vitality and warmth, people are friendly and simple, animals are free and pure land
