Hotel berhampiran Hikkaduwa Beach, Hikkaduwa

We booked our holiday with Mercury holidays as an All Inclusive lite board basis (meals plus selected local alcoholic drinks). However, we discovered upon arrival that this was essentially Full Board Plus, a single drink with each meal and a few beers a day. Not much use if you don't drink beer. Thankfully our Mercury rep Ananda and the Hotel Manager Thilina were absolutely fabulous and managed to sort us out a deal that work for us. FYI wine is imported so not a local drink. All the staff were absolutely fabulous throughout our stay. The pool ”boy” the bar staff, the waiters, cooks etc, all brilliant. Friendly, attentive, engaging, helpful. Honestly cannot praise them enough. Rooms are basic, but with everything you need. Wardrobe shelves looked worn but they were clean and dust free. The fridge looked rather outdated, but it worked very well and even had a freezer section which we put some bottles of water in. The beds were very comfy, absolutely no complaints about them. Plus our son had a proper bed, not a sofa bed which is always a bonus. There was also very good air con in the room which was a welcome relief from the Sri Lankan heat. Shampoo and body wash are provided, along with bottles of water, tea, coffee and a kettle. Other than the water we didn't have any drinks in the room (except those brought back from the bar!). There is also a TV but we never used it so can't comment on it. The balcony was lovely with a clothes horse to hang your swim wear on. The rooms were cleaned daily. Meals were excellent, for a small restaurant there was a lot of choice each night. We never had a problem finding something we liked for the 10 nights we were there. My son loved the omelet station at breakfast, and the shredded bacon. Personally the deserts were my fav, but they did some amazing mains too. We tried a few local dishes and instantly needed glasses of water, our pallets are not that spice developed! Lunch was a 4 course meal which was far too much for us, particularly with the heat. The staff were fabulous though and let us just have a burger or something lighter. The hotel has two pools plus a small kids pool, which was primarily used for sunbathing in while we were there! There were clean and of a good depth with varying levels. All very warm due to the heat of the country. By the smaller pool were the steps onto the beach, these could do with some work and it felt safer to cut across the diving centre section to get to the beach. Also the brilliant idea of a small area of water to wash your sandy feet in as you come back from the beach, along with a shower. The beach is great, watch the waves depending upon the tides, but there is a clearly defined swimming area and next to it a defined area to explore the coral reef. We saw so many fish, but the delight was the sea turtles, a least a meter long swimming alongside you!! That experience was just amazing. Even better than seeing them at turtle beach which is a 10/15 minute walk down t

Da unsere geplante Unterkunft kurzfristig doch nicht in Frage kam, fanden wir über *********** auf das Cozy Sea View Inn und ließen uns dort von unserem TukTukfahrer absetzten. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und konnten uns nach zwei besichtigten Zimmern für eines entscheiden. Wir entschieden uns für eines im Erdgeschoss mit kleiner Terasse. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber, gut ausgestattet und roch sehr gut. Direkt neben unserem Zimmer befand sich ein Fitnessstudio, welches von den Hotelgästen mitbenutzt werden kann. Wir nahmen dies nicht in Anspruch, fanden die Möglichkeit dennoch toll. Der Manager Rajesh war sehr freundlich und bemüht. Als er mitbekam, dass wir weiter nach Unawatuna reisen wollen, bot uns, da einer seiner Fahrer sowieso in die Richtung müsse, uns mitzunehmen. Auch die Lage des Hotels, in einer Seitenstraße zur Hauptstraße war für uns optimal. Der Strand war in wenigen Gehminuten zu erreichen, als auch eine Riesen Auswahl an Restaurants und anderen Eibkaufsmöglichkeiten. Wir waren wirklich sehr froh über unseren spontanen Glücksgriff und kommen gerne wieder.

Love the place and views it was very peaceful and good. Foods were ok could have been a bit improvement in that but breakfast was excellent.

Our group stay at the RIFF Hikkaduwa Hotel was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arranged the booking, we experienced top-tier service, and this level of care continued throughout our entire stay. The staff’s friendliness, passion, and dedication truly stood out, making us feel warmly welcomed from start to finish. The food was another highlight—every meal, whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The hotel’s lively yet friendly atmosphere was elevated by live music and additional performances in the evenings, creating a vibrant and enjoyable experience for everyone. The spa treatments added a perfect touch of relaxation to our stay. The hotel’s location is stunning—right on the beach, with all rooms offering breathtaking ocean views. The setting, combined with the exceptional service and amenities, made our stay an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, whether for business or leisure. It’s a perfect blend of an outstanding product, excellent service, and wonderful people.

We spent the most incredible 6 days in this little piece of paradise. Despite the incredible surroundings, the stunning, well equipped, comfortable, clean and quiet villa, what really made this break so memorable was our host Jay and his team. I have never met a more hard-working, kind, caring, helpful man. To be greeted by his smiling face every morning was just everything. He did all he could to make our stay unforgettable. Nothing was too much and we enjoyed chatting with him and hearing stories of his life after dinner in the evening. He helped us with trips out, planning our itinerary, arranging trea**ents in the villa and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The meals were so tasting and as a vegetarian I was well catered for. The view from the lake was breathtaking and we even had a water monitor swim past every morning. Some incredible memories made. Thank you for everything you did for us. We will be back!
