Amazing resort, with wonderful, big, green property next to the amazing beach. Garden is quite spacious, with the open view of the ocean and sunsets. Lounge chaies are spread around the gardens, so you can enjoy the conversations with your fellow guests, or choose the remote corners for the peace and tranquility and enjoying sound of waves on your own, or with your partner. The pool is very large, and never crowded, as this 10-room resort offers plenty of space to make you feel very comfortable. If resort is full, make sure to get the lounge chair early, but if you are not there all the time, you can finnd your stuff moved away by some rude guest. Beach so beautiful, as it breaks the monotony of the long beach with massive boulders right in front of resort. Rooms are very nice, but lower priced rooms are little bit smaller than expected. Nevertheless, the bathroom is wonderful and spacious and both are very well designed. One thing that is missing in those rooms is privacy of the balcony. Breakfast is wonderful starting with the fruit platter, bakery basket and then a-la-carte option, which is second to none, with local and international variety. Dinner menu is not huge, but with well chosen dishes and affordable. Definitely a place to visit again.

Fabulous location on the beach, set back from the road and very quiet. The staff are fantastic - nothing was too much trouble and very attentive. Food was also excellent, although staying for a week it would have been nice to see a change in the menu…

There isn’t much in the immediate vicinity, so if you are not happy relaxing in a fabulous hotel on the beach this may not be for you. That said, Uber works fine so we were able to travel about and see Galle, Lunuganga and other places so not really a problem. Just no alternative restaurants or anything you can walk to.

Kumu Beach is like being in paradise. Your eyes just won't get enough. The way the hotel is designed, combined with that stunning beach, rocks, and the pool are just incredible The staff is incredibly kind, from extra requests - such as breakfast on the go - to the chef coming to your table with dinner. The other guests were also very respectful and relax. This has been our favorite place in Sri Lanka.

Wifi was a bit up and down. There isn't too much you can do outside of the hotel in terms of other good restaurants. But if you are looking to be in a paradise bubble to completely relax, this is your place

Aesthetics and the view from the pool. Never too crowded as they host limited guests. Staff around for any help at all times. Free drinks in the evening. Staff was extremely cooperative and went beyond the usual to accommodate our needs. Almost everything you’ll eat is freshly cooked, including the chips, bread, jams.

The two rooms we booked were deluxe. They were extremely comfortable but offered no view. The difference between a deluxe and their signature premium rooms is stark.

Kumu Beach is one of the best hotels we stayed in! The place itself is calm and relaxing, only ten rooms within a private atmosphere. Our rooms were very nice, clean and spacious. The entire hotel provides such a beautiful interior with lots of love for details. Also outside, the pool area and lawn around, is so nicely arranged and the view is simply great. The service staff is brilliant, honestly interested in the wishes of the customers and provides the maximum of service that you can experience. Also the cleaning, SPA or gardening/outdoor staff is over-the-top friendly and hardworking. The food is exceptional. A variety of tasty Sri Lankan and non-Sri Lankan food is offered. Our stay way amazing, a true paradise. We will miss the peace and quiet here and are looking forward to book again soon!

One of the best hotel stays we had experienced, everything was perfect from the staff to the property and the food was exceptional! We were taken care of by every single staff member we came across. The attention to details was above our expectations. We were also lucky enough to be there during their menu makeover and had a wonderful experience with Group Chef Sumudu whom was passionate about his menu and keen to hear feedback! Big Kudus to all the staff for making the stay enjoyable!!! Praba, Robert, Menaka and Lasitha! we truly felt a personalized touch and at home! Definitely on my list to come back here

I loved everything about this stay

Perfect location and charming hotel, with excellent food and service.

The bedrooms are set out like an aircraft, with first, business and economy class sections. And as a result the guests behave in the same way, with the upper classes looking down on the lower classes. But there were still towel wars to get the best sun spots!!!

Everything although such a shock to see massive ugly development on the beautiful beach

Checkin was poor as we had a mix up on the booking the staff did not seem to have to authority to make decisions - this was very irritating given that we were tired and it is such an expensive hotel - this really clouded our experience
