Srikanthan

Weligama Bay Eco Villa

Weligama

10/10 Excellent

We had a room with 2 double beds and a large bathroom with semi outdoor shower. If you are bothered by insects, this might not be the place for you as you can't avoid them coming into the bathroom, but we didn't mind. :-) The beds have mosquito nets, so no problem! The place is very spacious with garden/porch, feels very safe! A bit hard to find as there are no signs on the main road and only a small sign at the entrance gate. It's a great location though, 1 min from the beach, a small shop...

Peacock Wings Guest House

Mirissa

10/10 Excellent

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at Peacock Wings Guest House. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful. She gave us plenty of information about the local area and made a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast every morning. The room was large and comfortable with a nice balcony. The location is just across the street from a small beach that we visited everyday. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Insight resort

Ahangama

10/10 Excellent

I would rate "Insight" at 5 stars. Heaps of reasons to do so, especially because of the professional and attentive staff. However, I can only give them 4.9 stars... the music selection does not match the hotel environment. It's a beachfront hotel with a lot of surfers, but they play old Roy Orbison and Elvis music. Also, they play random Italian music. It's not bad music, it just doesn't fit the property. My opinion is they should have something more Bali Lounge / Bali Chill style. It would make...
