Sea view is absolutely stunning and private beach is great. My wife and I would walk to to the main beach for meals but would stay on the private beach. Staff are great. Breakfast is made to order and they will provide anything you would want. From what we saw I would say that it one of the better locations to stay.

It is a small hotel with very friendly staff. The food is great. All requests are addresses within minutes. I would definitely recommend to book a room with the view. It is right over the small private beach and all you can see and hear is the ocean... 5 stars hands down!

Lovely for a holiday by the sea
It’s a really lovely, very clean property. The staff is lovely and the manager went above and beyond to help us find a room at another hotel when we wanted to extend but were not able to stay at La Veranda because it was booked solid. The breakfast patio opens up to a private beach. We stayed in the “basic” room, which didn’t have a sea view (we knew ahead of time) but as it was partially underground it was a very cool retreat from the very hot sun. WiFi was excellent in our room, only thing I would change it a slightly larger sheet as the one provided was a bit small for two to share. Im sure if we had asked the staff would have provided either a second sheet or a larger sheet, but it wasn’t much of a problem so we didn’t say anything. :) A perfect little getaway spot. We look forward to staying again.

Amazing Views
Nice small family hotel at the end of the beach. It’s a bit away from the main beach area, but that was a positive for me. There is a small private beach in front of the hotel. Only 3-5 people I saw at any given time. The outdoor breakfast area is fantastic. It’s shaded by large palm trees overlooking the ocean with amazing sunsets. I had a sea view room. Only heard the street noise if someone honked their horn because the sound of the waves was louder than the street :). Do note that Mother Nature doesn’t observe nighttime quiet hours and the crashing waves were very loud at night. Amazing staff, very kind, service with a smile everyday. The room is tiny for the price, but neat and has traditional British colonial decor. WiFi was spotty, but that is common in Sri Lanka. 4 stars because there was a power outage for several hours. Totally, understand that things happen (I experienced outages at multiple hotels) but the owners should have the generator and gas ready to go for these instances vs. having to procure needed items during an outage. Yes, I would stay again.

The hotel was amazing, very comfortable, great view from the verandah of the sunsets. Right on the beach which was safe to swim and turtles to be seen swimming by. The breakfast was also great and the staff eager to please even helped negotiate a great fare with the Tuk Turks. Lots of good restaurants to walk to.

Before we even arrived, the owner of this hotel had not only secured us transportation from the airport, but confirmed my specific room requests and let us know he could coordinate our tours and interests during our stay. Upon arrival, we received welcome tropical drinks and were provided with dinner options. Each morning we woke up to an amazing breakfast served right by the beach. The location happens to be along a private rocky beach where you can snorkel and watch the sea turtles who come in along the rocks daily. Anything we needed, the staff were willing to help us locate both in the local area and throughout the country. The owner set up a safari tour for us, visit to the turtle conservation hatchery, whale watching...the list goes on. This is a small hotel tucked into a fantastic area with the most attentive and friendly staff I've ever experienced in our travels. We would stay no where else in Sri Lanka. Hands down one of the best vacation stays we've had. A real hidden gem. Thank you Chandana and Sadith for an unforgettable experience.
