John
I had a fantastic stay in this hotel! The location was exceptional, allowing me to easily explore the vibrant city by foot. It was within walking distance of the 2nd Street restaurant and music club scene, as well as the famous bat colony under the Congress Street bridge. Additionally, being just one block away from the Convention Center was incredibly convenient. The cleanliness of the rooms was impressive, and the hotel facilities provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring that I had a pleasant experience. And to top it all off, the complimentary breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options.
Hard to think of anything negative.

We had an incredible stay at a cozy hotel in a beautiful tropical location. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the fish and curry dishes prepared by the talented chef. The staff was incredibly warm and friendly, always ready to offer assistance and share a meal or drink. We also loved the fresh water from the tap and the personal touch of the owner's story in our room. The hotel organized a fantastic Jungle Safari BBQ, combining a thrilling safari with a mouthwatering BBQ in a stunning setting. We left feeling relaxed and already planning our next visit. highly recommended!

I recently had an amazing stay at a charming beachside retreat in Sri Lanka. The hotel provided excellent value for money with its affordable prices and attention to detail. The rooms were spacious and relaxing, with everything thought of, including a large bathroom and AC. The breakfast was delicious and served in a peaceful setting. The hotel's location in a quiet neighborhood was perfect for a tranquil getaway. I especially enjoyed the friendly and attentive staff who made me feel right at home.
All was perfect, couldn't ask for more!

Just a short stroll away from the stunning Arugambay Beach, this cozy accommodation offers a wide range of activities for guests to enjoy. The highlight of our stay was definitely the water sports facilities. We had an absolute blast trying out different water activities such as surfing and kayaking. It felt like we were riding waves like pros, just like professional surfers effortlessly gliding through the ocean. The experience was invigorating and exhilarating, leaving us with memories we'll cherish forever.
Renovations in progress.

Loved every minute at this cozy hotel. It’s nestled in a tranquil location, yet still close to the beach action. the rooms are beautifully designed with an outdoor shower – it was a unique and peaceful experience to shower under the stars. But the highlight was definitely the amazing food - beyond expectations. the cook had a great variety of dishes and the fish curry was out of this world.
Although the stay was wonderful, the mosquito nets had holes that needed to be fixed. it’s a bit expensive for the area, but worth it if you want quality service and great food.

The hotel is in a great location, close to the beach and surrounded by nature. The rooms are well-maintained and clean, while the breakfast is delicious and with plenty of options. The staff is friendly and always willing to help. Guests can also enjoy the Jungle BBQ Safari and Surf Safari, which offer unique experiences to explore the area. the vegetarian options available are a great plus for the hotel.
The lack of air conditioning may be a problem during the hotter months.

As eco hipsters, we found our perfect retreat at East Surf Cabanas. For 4 days, we enjoyed being just a few hundred meters from the main street. The staff were excellent, going above and beyond to assist us. The breakfast here was the best we had in Sri Lanka, especially the avocados on toast. We also loved the surf lessons, with a friendly and patient instructor catering to all abilities. The jungle BBQ and safari experience was a once-in-a-lifetime event, with fresh fish, beers, and stunning sunset views over the lagoon. Special thanks to Raffiella for being the perfect host. We're definitely planning to come back next year!
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

The rooms offered delightful views and a great atmosphere. The breakfast was scrumptious and well-portioned. The location was just perfect, it was close to both the beach and the restaurants, which were all within walking distance. The communal areas were great, and the staff was friendly and welcoming at all times.
The accommodation was fairly open, which meant that it was not ideal if you're a light sleeper, as noises from outside disturbed the peace. The Wi-Fi could be improved, as the range was not sufficient for guests who needed to stay connected.
