Everything about this place was great, especially enjoyed waking up to the waves crashing against the shore, such an amazing view from our room. Staff were friendly - they made a perfect breakfast each morning & were more than happy to keep our surfboards in a storeroom when we weren't using them.

Great value for money!

I had booked 4 days, and then went to Galle, but decided to go back, since this was great value for money. Big bed, clean room, right on the water, where the snorkeling was great. Good food, and stable wifi. Try their pineapple shake. Also cheap scooter rental. Nice breakfast.

A gem of a hotel in Ahangama! Ocean front with clean and comfortable rooms and hot water showers! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The family that runs this hotel are so very sweet and very accommodating! Great location to so many restaurants and surfing & swimming beaches. Easily access a scooter rental as well. Would definitely stay here again!

By far the best accomodation we’ve experienced in Sri Lanka. We absolutely loved our time at New Ocean Vibes, a home away from home. We booked for 5 nights and ended up staying one month. It’s owned by the sweetest and most welcoming family. The big breakfasts are amazing and varies from day to day. Big, clean rooms with huge and comfortable beds. We must recommend booking the king room with sea view. You open up the doors and lay in bed watching nothing but ocean and hearing nothing but waves. An easy paddle out to Midigama Right and Lazy Left from straight in front of New Ocean Vibes. The owners organised scooter rental, laundry service and transportation, everything we needed for a super comfortable stay. The location is great, quiet and secluded but close to restaurants, shops, other surf breaks, etc. Couldn’t recommend this place more!! Thank you so much for everything guys, we can’t wait to be back! 🙌❤️

Excellent welcome, very well located, accommodation clean and comfortable. Delicious breakfast with sea view.

The location is directly on the water and if you surf, you can paddle out to Midigama Right from the hotel. The family was so hospitable, including the kids who taught us how to play cricket and carrom. We loved the huge, delicious breakfasts each day. And the rooms were large with both a fan and air conditiong. The wifi was weak but that wasn't a big issue for our travels. Overall, this was a great place to vacation and we would stay here again.

Two minor issues come to mind. Communication might have been a problem as the owner and his wife speak some basic English. However, the eldest son is very proficient. The beachfront location is not on a sandy beach, but this is not really an issue as the sandy beach area is 50m away.

The view out onto the ocean and the quality of the room and furnishings was very good. The location was also good as a sandy beach is 50m away and the surfing beach is probably 200m away. The breakfast was great. The beach just outside the back garden was OK for paddling but onto rock and coral within a few metres, so we did not try swimming. The main road is outside the front garden, so Tuktuk or bus travel in any direction is very easy. The train station is also within walking distance. We are not surfers, but watching the skills of the experts at Midigama was interesting and entertaining.

I was 3 weeks in Midigama at New Ocean Vibes and I have to honestly say that this accomodation has been best place where I have ever been. I had room with sea view and it is really amazing, you can be in your bed and watch the waves. Also possible to paddle out to Lazy Right surfspot, just 10m from your balcony! So the location is best possible. The food is also incredible, every meal is homemade by the owner and is delicious, the breakfast is big. I will definetly come here back!

Amazing please and very well located from the beach and surf spots. The personal working there were very nice and looking after us and offering all the facilites and amazing local house made food.

There is no AC in the family room, it gets hot in the night even with the fan. Installing A/C would make it better to stay. I heard some rooms have it and the host is gradually installing AC in other rooms. Not many restaurants to look for variety of food. The restaurants close to the property have less choose and are expensive. The host asked for cash instead of paying through the card. Paying cash was ok, but a heads up would have been better. There were no toiletries provided, and no hot water. There were only two towels provided for four people.host speaks only Sinhalese. The family room is next to the road side so no ocean view.

Very new place, nice and clean. The host was able to make custom menu upon request (of course cbarged separately, which was as expected). The common eating area os overlooking the ocean. There is secluded beach (clean and swimmable) in 2 mins walk. There are some wooden beach seats there on the beach to relax. There are couple of restaurants serving food and drinks there. Host was nice, he could be mistaken for being rude. It is just the language barrier.

nothing

great family and great surf course for the children

Very good accommodation. We had a wonderful time and extended our stay to 4 weeks. Located directly by the water, you can do a surf spot check for multiple spots, which are either in walking distance, or you paddle out straight from there. Each day the host prepared a big breakfast with fruit platter, coffee, omelette, roti and more. We also had some traditional curry for dinner a couple of times and were offered local treats and snacks on occasion. The family was very welcoming and we enjoyed our stay very much.

The whole family is super nice, and helpful. Little beach right in front and the terrace is sweet to hang out (away from the roadside:)). Breakfast is awesome. Perfect place to chill out for a while. Thank you

It gets really hot even at night, and with the fan on- but they are installing aircon soon so then this won’t be a problem at all.

Central location if you want to check out the local beaches. Very friendly family, very helpful. Good breakfast. Clean room with hot water even when there’s no power

Great place, good value for the money

It was our best stay in Sri Lanka. The room was very cosy, spacious and clean, with the shelf cupboard and hot water. The view was just stunning: the turquoise ocean water just a couple of meters away. But the most amazing part was a breakfast: every day huge tastiest portions of local breakfast with lots of different fruits. That was my favourite part of the day!:) And of course very nice and helpful owner family. I will definitely come back!

There's not that many shops or restaurants around but then again it's a very peaceful place

Paradise beach right in front of the hotel. One of the best breakfasts I've had on the island. Spotless rooms, good fan and big washing room. Fast WiFi. Really comfortable, new mattress and clean linen.
