    Unfortunately didn’t receive an answer toenail or messages to have my daughters AirPods returned. We have located them to the property.

    The train passing right past the house was an attraction. The accommodation is clean and the people are friendly.

    Our toilet was a bit broken which was a little bit annoying but didn’t ruin our stay at all. Also you can hear the train quite loudly in the ground floor rooms- we didn’t mind it but it did wake us up a few times in the night.

    We loved the vibe at Ocean View, the property is minutes away from the beach but the railway between you gives a unique feel like you’re half in countryside, half by the ocean. We property is big and spacious and the AC rooms on the first level look very luxurious. We booked a fan room which was ground floor, it suited us fine and it was also spacious. We loved that we got to see the train pass so close to us and also loved how close we were to the beach. The staff were super helpful and lovely! Thank you!

    The location is not what was described. Very minimum ocean view. And train track runs just 10m from the room. Facilities very minimum. I went to the beach there was no chair or sun bed in nice condition so I’ve used next doors facilities.

    Unfortunately nothing wowed me.

    The accommodation was right next to the railway line. Although this wasn't major problem for us some guests may find it offputting.

    The room had all the amenities we needed and was very close to the beach - so much so we went to sleep to the sound of the Indian Ocean.

    The property is right next to the beach. The best part is, it is there is a live rail road in between the hotel and the beach which makes it scenic at its best.

    I found it funny but you need to know that train pass 5 mètres from hotel. It’s récurent.

    Very special location when you’ll feel in local area. The beach is amazing. The personal is very friendly and they serve a good healthy breakfast.

    No visible signage when arriving from the south but mostly, since when did a hotel charge a 10% service charge?? Bars, restaurants all over Sri Lanka now add 10% as an excuse to push up prices by stealth. But a hotel???

    Location, very friendly staff.

    There is only a fan so it is quite warm in the room. It is quit far from the town centre but therefore you habe the beach almost to yourself.

    The location is very cool as the beach is just across the train track. They have sun beds available for you.

    We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful beach-side hotel. The trains passing by were a lovely touch and we loved that you could walk to a number of beach-side restaurants. The beach by the hotel is so beautiful and quiet which was perfect.

    We were given a towel per person. Would have been nice if they were a bit larger or there were two towels per person. But it was alright. Saying would have been better. But on the defense of the owners/operators of the hotel, we did not ask. Also, we normally carry our own water. Some guests might need a bottle of water and two glasses as a bare minimum.

    Wow the beach at this hotel is superb. Very clean, and stretches for a very long distance into the sea, yet shallow and very even. An added bonus is we did not find any rocks, let alone sharp ones, that dot the sea floor of some beach areas. So there were no scrapes or bruises on our feet after being in the sea.

    They could easily offer a complimentary breakfast for that price.

    The Beach. The one of the best beaches around. Good place to get a good sea bath. Place is surrounded by private beaches so no crowded other than hotel guests. Beach is sandy
