I didn't like the fact that I wasn't charged the correct price ( over charged 150.00). Booking .com advertising free genius upgrade of room. We got charged full price by hotel ! I wouldn't have booked this place at this price. How fighting to gey my 150.00 pounds returned. Disgusting booking.com. Now getting Barclays Bank involved as I have all evidence and 100per in the right.. Very bad management not sorting their advertising wirh booking.com properly , especially with not cancelling option Totally spoilt our stay.

Great view from top floor

City room very small and noisy fine for 1 or 2 nights maximum ~not relaxing can't swing a cat really. Be aware when signing in~they quote euros or $ on Booking.com but when you arrive they exchange that to local currency which is fair enough~what isn't fair is that they use their tourist rate of exchange as if you are buying or selling foreign currency ~this is out of order as they are in effect charging you 8~10% more ~I put a stop to this and quoted the exact $dollar market rate to charge~in their irratation at this they charged me 4% because I used a card ~again this has not happened anywhere else in Sri Lanka so be aware~this small hotel is expensive to start with without these attempted add ons

Fantastic setting in one of the most beautiful bay of the south. We were lucky to have been given a sea. View room for our first night as our booking which was for a city view room wasn't available ~the sea view room is amazing but very pricey for the area. Breakfast was very pleasant and good choices. It's a small property but they have nice sun lounges in place~staff are friendly!!

Nothing springs to mind. Don’t serve alcohol by the pool.

Great sea views from balcony room. Very clean. Pool and poolside lounge set up is very good. Location some distance from main beach but that works well with cheap tuk tuk ride if you want to avoid getting too sweaty.

The roadside of the hotel is not great, and only 1 space for 1 vehicle to stop.

The swimming pool. The sun loungers have uninterrupted views of the sea. The 4 poster bed with mosquito net was great. Our sea view balcony had 2 chairs with great views. Great to walk down a few steps to get to the sea. We could walk to a few beach bars along the coast path. The staff made breakfast just for us after the whale watching.

- Noise from the street (few mm gap in the window, so the noise from the street was really loud) - mold in the room

Amazing view from third floor Lovely pool Nice sunbeds Very nice breakfast man, very smiley.

The stay was soured at the end when they tried to charge us 20% more than we were supposed to be charged. This was constructed with various surcharges they couldn't explain and an exchange rate which was way off. The walk to the main Marissa beach is relatively short but involves climbing over rocks and some very heavy sandy beaches.

Magnificent room overlooking the sea. Beautiful pool and a few steps down to the beach.

Stayed in January 2024

At the time of check out they will force you to pay by cash and if you pressure them to pay by card they will take some exchange rate which you will not find anywhere + 4% extra

Property is very nice … It has everything you need with a private beach

Second time staying here and now with more guests, more personnel and more fluid service. Staff showed more flexibility. We booked here, again, for the good location and clean and comfortable room.

The swimming pool area was extremely slippery. It needs mats around as it’s very dangerous for kids and adults. We stopped using the pool and decided to spend our days elsewhere as we couldn’t relax constantly watching and reminding our kids to be careful.

Loved the room, the view, the decor and the bathroom. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The fridge in the room was disgusting and made my water bottle unusable for the rest of the trip The food was mediocre Hairdryer supplied didn't fit any socket or adapter Kettle was situated nowhere near a socket No coffee provided in room only tea

The view from the bedroom was spectacular Location was great, easy to get to coconut hill one way and lots of beach bars and restaurants the other Room was clean (except the fridge)

Such a beautiful stay. The manager, Hassim, and his staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Would always greet us on our return from an outing. Would recommend sea world hotel.

There was one odd thing... One day they asked us to cancel our booking on Booking.com for a 5% discount which we didn't really feel comfortable with. However, when we said no they didn't hassle us and the issue was dropped. It wasn't very busy (as are a lot of other places right now as they get back on their feet), but there were some fun beach clubs really close by if you want a more lively atmosphere.

So... This was our splurge hotel and it is a bit pricy considering that it doesn't have a lot of facilities. But the room with the balcony was the most gorgeous view from a hotel I've ever had. Seriously. I couldn't get enough. The four poster bed was also high enough that you could wake up every morning with that beautiful view right in front of you. The room was clean, and the beautiful dark wood furniture (though a little dated) and wood/stone floors felt high quality. The shower was awesome and my 6'5 husband loved that it was tall enough for him. It was a lot of fun playing with all the taps and settings :) it even has a view window (with curtain if you want privacy) so you get natural light and a view in the shower. The breakfasts were extensive and tasty, and they can do western or Sri Lankan if you wish. We didn't really use the pool or loungers but it's got lots of cute little beaches/beach clubs all around (3-5 minute walk). It is about a 10 minute walk into the heart of town but there were several wonderful restaurants about 5 minutes away. The staff was friendly and they offered us new beach towels every day.

Pay to use the gym.

Lovely service, the staff are very friendly. They even set up a private dinner table for us and prepared the fish we caught.

Confusion with the bill. Tip: Pay as you go, not all at the end.

I love the fact that the hotel has a pool and is directly across from the beach. Perfect location!!

I stayed in the Deluxe sea view room at sea World, it was beautiful and the view was amazing. The staff were very friendly and did their best to make us feel accommodated. The location was amazing and I snorkeled in the sea right in front of the accommodation.

Area along roadside of hotel is uninspiring.

Absolutely lovely small hotel with gorgeous views and spectacular location. Entertaining watching fishing boats directly outside twice a day.

The staff was a delight! Nassim was very kind and helped us with everything. They were so hospitable and made sure we had everything. He even took my friend to the doctor when she got hurt and personally made sure everything was taken care off despite the language barrier. The rest of the staff was also absolutely amazing and so sweet. The view and their hospitality made the trip and stay great.

City view rooms are a bit small.

Amazing location, very close to the coconut hill. Walking distance to nice beaches. Clean and nicely decorated rooms. Nice breakfast.

The room was directed to the street, so it was really loud in the room. You couldn’t open a window. The Vedanta was broken so we have to use the ac which were also not 100% working. The ac was really loud. We wanted to do trip on one day so we asked for the breakfast time. The problem was that we get the breakfast 30 minutes later than communicated one day before. The most suspective and strange thing was one staff member who talked very well english. We asked him for a tuk tuk for next day to Galle and he named us a price for this distance which was really overpriced compared to the other tuk tuk tours. So we decided to ask him for a better price. Again he told us a still overpriced number. Then we told him our expection and he mentioned this would be also ok. Short time before the tuk tuk drive arrived he told me that he need 500rup as a kind of prepayment. I was really surprised and asked again why he need it. He told me he will give it to our driver when we are well arrived in Galle. So I gave him the money, but I asked our driver how many money he get. And how it is it seems to be that the stuff member decided to keep it and screwed us. The only thing why we are still write a good evaluation is the other stuff. An old women and man and the younger one. They were really friendly and helped us with everything.

The location is really good. You can walk in the city and to the coconut tree hill within a few minutes. Also there is the turtle point right next to the hotel. Big breakfast with fruits, egg variation, toast and jam and juice. The pool is good alternative to the sea on hot days. The view from the hotel was amazing.
