Dikwella Vacation Rentals

"Loved our stay here, the service was excellent and so were the staff. The rooms were very clean and comfortable too. "

"The perfect retreat to relax for a few days. The staff were helpful and the food was delicious. There’s also a great restaurant opposite the hotel. "

"We really enjoyed our stay. The room was very comfortable and the staff were so attentive. The free TukTuk service to the main junction was a really nice touch. "

"Good friendly service, while rooms are reasonably priced, food and drinks are expensive and priced in USD* and not in LKR (*not sure how this is regulated by the central bank). "

"Amazing stay, even extended twice. The service is second to none, everything is no problem. From the amazing view of the sea to all the varied wildlife in the grounds, posse of monkeys visit every day drinking from the pool and generally being monkeys to peacocks, a mongoose, frogs, all the birds. Nick the owner is a friendly chap and clearly set the ethos of this place and is always around to help if needed. Kalpa and Umesh (managers) are great, absolute credit to the place. Can’t say a bad word, if we are back to Sri Lanka then a visit here will be on the cards again. We had 2 rooms, both great, outdoor showers, very clean, air con, amazing views over the lagoon, comfy beds. Best place we stayed in Sri Lanka, only left as we had plans. The beach is 2 min walk away past all the hermit crabs, we saw baby turtles going into the sea one evening just before they close the beach due to conservation. We then went another night with the turtle conservation next door and witnessed a turtle laying eggs. This place has it all."

"This is an amazing resort with amazing ambiance and staff, direct access to the beach and a beautiful pool, we had 5 days of heaven in a villa and could not ask for anything better, everyone soo helpful and welcoming, bed super comfortable, food delicious, very central to tuk tuk around to the beaches to explore, great restaurants around and loved every moment there"

"We had a fantastic 6 night stay at Surf N Spice, the guys who run the place are amazing. They made our trip so easy and relaxing. Huge comfy room with excellent aircon and a nice balcony to sit and relax on. The breakfast they serve as incredible, best we have had in 6 months travelling. It's exciting that they are constantly developing and improving the property including a new cafe which was nearly finished when we left and looked great. Lots to do in the area including 2 different beaches within easy walking distance, one very big and relaxed, the other great for surfing and a busier vibe. Lots of great cafes and restaurants within a few minutes walk and a few minutes further you can walk to the main town with shops, ATM, etc. Overall a fantastic stay, we highly recommend Surf N Spice."

"Not really 3 Start property "

"Just an absolutely awful hotel. Do not be fooled by the photos, they are from around a decade ago. Everything is old, broken, full of ants and dead flies, the showers have no doors, the pool looks like a horror film. Some other guests had a party until 5am and when we tried to find a member of staff to complain to there was no-one all night. And then they claimed the next morning there was no party. We tried to ask for a partial refund but the owner refused and made us pay 100%. The receptionist took off tax but the service overall was embarrassingly bad. (We can’t prove it but are pretty certain the positive reviews by ‘local guides’ are all friends of the hotel, artificially boosting its ratings). Absolutely do not stay in this awful awful hotel"
