Ann and her team were perfect hosts. We felt very welcome from the very first moment until we left. “Home away from home”! And just on top the brunch/breakfast was amazing! Every day something different and all soooo good!

My one-week stay at Niyagama House was fabulous with the high standards the facility offers, the green with all those bird sounds in the morning mesmerized me. It was also so relaxing for my body and soul doing meditation & yoga with Elke every day, nourishing myself with the great food from the restaurant. I am looking forward to visiting that 'paradise on earth' again.

The hotel was beautiful and well-maintained. The staff stood out! They were wonderful and a shoutout to Umesha at the Cardemom Café for making us feel at home. The premises were clean and the room was exceptional with a breathtaking view from the spa wing.

The best place we have stayed during our travels throughout the world. Beautiful and comfortable room with own terrace, nice pool, lovely breakfast and attentive staff. Own part of a beach area with hammocks and beach chairs (the actual beach is not private, but only used by a few). Highly recommended

Cocobay Hotel : One Week January 2025 We had a wonderful stay in this fantastic place with its location with a quiet beach, a tropical environment all around, and a top hotel (in its comfort, its services, and especially by all the staff: the reception, the kitchens (excellent dishes), wonderfull room services, Wonderfull restaurant service (smile to Upul), Top managers (thanks dedicated to Buddhika). Without forgetting the precious massage from Vidula, who put my back back in place following a fall down while getting off a Bus :) The kindness, the smiles, the availability and the human exchanges that we were able to have with this Dream Team will remain engraved in our heart. We had a lot of trouble leaving this place and this team. Congratulations and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Phil & Jill (January 2025)

    We really loved our one night stay here on the day before Xmas eve. The villa is stunning, such beautiful architectural design inside and the pool. We were also really moved by the reason the property was built - what a lovely idea. We ate dinner and breakfast here. We loved the Sri Lankan breakfast where we met others guests- the food was delicious.
