Breakfast every morning was amazing. Bed so comfortable. Clean. Amazing location. Turtles popping their heads out of the water while you sip a beer. Lovely food and staff so relaxed, kind and attentive. Sparta the dog is a joy. They organized mopeds for us and taxi to airport.

We had a great stay at the Ocean breeze hotel! everything was very authentic, clean and the staff is very friendly. It’s possible to have breakfast and dine here and everything is freshly made by the Amma of the house and tastes wonderful. They were very kind to our little daughter and the owner gave us a lift to our next destination. We can only recommend this place :-)

Lovely bed and breakfast at Dondra Head - the southernmost point of Sri Lanka. Great family running the business. Room spacious and clean, WiFi fast and probably I have had in Sri Lanka, breakfast good and varied, including freshly squeezed juices every morning. Located literally next to Dondra Lighthouse, so very special location among the palm trees. Very local vibe. I also ate dinner here - super fresh lobster was awesome. Tons of green parrots live in the palm trees and make for a fun viewing experience also. I would come back and stay here again.

We choosed this place after two very long flights as we arrived from the other site of the world, Costa Rica. Our choice was based to be able to relax and...this was the best decision ever. The place is super quite, super nice staff, Restaurants are a 5-10 minutes walk and the more turistique place Mirissa is just a 10 minutes drive. This combination was for us just the perfect place to be.

    Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

    Our room was clean and very comfortable. The view from our balcony was amazing of the beach and ocean. The breakfast was really good and even better from from the restaurant area. The staff were all lovely and helpful. There is a bar and sunbeds on the beach right in front of hotel, beach is nice and quiet and good place to try surfing.

    Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

    We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
