See allturtles rest & curry bowl
Hikkaduwa Beach,Hikkaduwa - View on map"The best thing about Turtles Rest is the friendly staff and how welcome they make you feel. We also met the owners, who were great. The hotel is situated right in between the two beaches so you have easy access to everything. Giant Sea Turtles are a two minute walk away from the large front garden. We fed them by hand with seaweed. An unforgettable experience and would 100% recommend this place to anyone travelling to Hikkaduwa."

Balapitiya Beach,Hikkaduwa - View on map"The beach is nice, but the location itself is far off from anything else. The staff is very nice and helpful. The food is ok, nothing special. Thumbs down for the prices in the menu: everything is net, so for a bill of 3500 you pay at least 5000 in the end. And this is the only place in Sri Lanka where we encountered that."

Hikkaduwa,Hikkaduwa - View on map"A genuinely nice hotel, well-located for Hikkaduwa beach. Rooms are very spacious and elegantly appointed with nice balconies and roomy bathroom. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool area is great for relaxation with lovely views and also an attractive venue for breakfast. Breakfast is OK though pretty much the standard Sri Lankan "foreigners breakfast" (why don't more hotels offer some Sri Lankan options?).The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from the reef area where the snorkelling is good. Overall, the Refresh may not be the cheapest option in Hikkaduwa but it is certainly one of the most pleasant - and you get a free foot massage !"

See allLazy Koala
Hikkaduwa Beach,Hikkaduwa - View on map"My family had a lovely stay for 5 days 4 nights at Lazy Koala. It is about 1.7km from Hikkaduwa Beach/Coral Reef. 150SR tuktuk ride to Hikkaduwa and between 200-350RS (higher at night) tuktuk ride to Narigama Beach.
Lazy Koala is cozy and very clean boutique hotel managed by the very charming Chaminda, his kind chef Neil and upbeat housekeeper/proxy chef Anand. It is located on the Galle main road so you hear the sound of the cars as well as the waves. It has an amazing view of the ocean from the rooms. The room is spacious, with bean bags good for lounging, and really really good, high pressure hot/cold shower!!!! It has a good size very clean swimming pool. Just need to watch out for the young kids as there are no safety barriers. They serve continental breakfast and seeing that the kids weren't a huge fan they provided cereal just for them on the second day, it was very thoughtful. The highlight of our stay was the one time treat of traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. "

Hikkaduwa Beach,Hikkaduwa - View on map"We stayed at various hotels in Sri Lanka but this was by far our favourite! The staff is absolutely amazing and very friendly. The rooms are beautiful and very clean and the foods were delicious(special grill lobster). On top of that the hotel is located perfectly. Just a 5min. Walk to the city. I would strongly recommend booking this place."

Hikkaduwa Beach,Hikkaduwa - View on map"There wasn’t one single faculty at this hotel that wasn’t perfect. The staff, cleanliness and the property itself were all excellent. It’s set back from the ocean and gives the feel it’s much more secluded (but actually near several good restaurants and other amenities if you wanted surf lessons or a cocktail and a dance further down the beach). The food was the best I’d eaten in Sri Lanka with particular credit due for the seafood. We stayed in the Vanilla Suite which had the luxury of a hot tub on the balcony overlooking the ocean, and it was absolutely superb. I wouldn’t change a single thing about this hotel. We spent most days in the pool or lying on the beachside waiting for 4pm (where the staff put out fresh tea and coffee and a slice of cake) lying down on the various sun loungers. We spent ten days in Sri Lanka and lucky enough to see a lot of nice hotels - this was the nicest of every hotel we’ve ever stayed in, perhaps ever.
Thank you Villa Saffron! "

Hikkaduwa Beach,Hikkaduwa - View on map"Nice clean hotel with spatious rooms, excellent beds and the best bathrooms I
have seen in Sri Lanka. Quality of the shower can't be better. Some staff is too young and without experience, they don't offer drinks on the pool etc, my impression is that they can be easily better, but I rest very satisfied with our stay there. I recommend this hotel. "
