I had an awesome stay here! The hotel is in a great spot—quiet and perfect for unwinding. The beach almost felt private and there were plenty of sunbeds to relax on. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. Breakfast was a bit the same every day, but we still enjoyed it, and the other restaurant food was tasty and fairly priced. A quick tip: rent a scooter if you can, though there are tuktuks parked right outside most of the time. Our room was clean and the WiFi worked most of the time. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place for a chill getaway!

We really liked the accommodation. It's right on the beach with private sun loungers and parasols - that was the deciding factor for us when booking. The complex is very clean, the staff is very friendly and you feel very comfortable. The pool is also clean and the water is pleasant. The sea is a bit stormier but you can go in easily. We were very happy with the room, it was a great size, clean and the balcony with sea view was perfect for relaxing. The shower had great water pressure and the size of the bathroom was adequate. The breakfast was very extensive and definitely too much for us (less could be offered here).

Unfortunately not all the towels were clean, but these were changed and checked immediately. In our opinion, the bathroom lacked ventilation, as it gets very humid in the bathroom (once you've showered, you sweat again). The staff only speak rather poor/little English, which unfortunately led to misunderstandings for us (especially when paying for the safari, which was a rather unpleasant situation for us). It would be really good if the language skills were improved. But they are always very helpful! We only had dinner once at the hotel, which was ok but lacked spices.

We had a great time, directly next to the very beautiful Beach and wild Ocean. A big balcony to sit and enjoy sunset. The room was very big and clean, the bathroom had even 2 Showers. The food was delcious, specially we loved the Breakfast and the "Rice and Curry". The staff was very friendly and kind. They tried to make everything very comfortable for us. One time we got a fresh coconut directly from the tree in our garden. The ocean is perfect for surfers and to play around with the waves. Some times we went to town, or another beach with a Tuktuk. This was very uncomplicated and not far. We did a crocodile tour on the river, the hotel offered in the programm and we were very lucky to get very close to a huge cocodile. We will remeber this week in the hotel as a very good time of our lives.

One of the best places we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka – hands down. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food… probably the best we had during our entire trip. Definitely ask if they can prepare a traditional Sri Lankan dinner — it’s not on the menu, but they’ll happily arrange it. The beach is right in front of the hotel. The waves are high enough to be fun, but still safe for swimming and beginner surfers. Right next door is a turtle conservation spot — we even got to release baby turtles into the ocean. A truly magical experience. The hotel wasn’t crowded at all, and the architecture is smart and beautiful. You can tell the rooms and the entire space were designed with care and love. Matara itself was one of the most interesting places we visited. It felt more authentic and less touristy than other coastal towns. We’d come back in a heartbeat — highly recommended.

Nothing

This is a superb property. Very comfortable rooms and super friendly staff. The food too is top notch. When it comes to breakfast they are almost too generous, it isn't a choice between western and Sri Lankan breakfast, you get both. It is right above a quiet stretch of beach and the balconies are the ideal place to chill out. Wish I had booked for more than one night. I will almost certainly be back.

In terms of its provision I have nothing to criticise. The only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10 is a slight question mark over cost. My room cost me 130 USD which is roughly double what I have been paying for other almost (but not quite) equally good rooms. Not a big issue and it won't stop me returning but it is my only minor critical observation

The Seascape is in an amazing location just at the beach. The team is super professional with attention to detail and super warm and friendly at the same time, which is a rare experience. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book it again. Especially their Sri Lankan food is amazing and there are also beach restaurants next door, that are excellent. The place is perfect for surfing or a beach holiday and to watch an amazing sunset. They also clean the beach in front of the hotel regularly, which is nice. There are rooms on the top floor and on the ground floor. The ground floor room is practical, since you just need a few steps to the beach, the top floor rooms might have nicer views and a bit more privacy.

nothing.

Initially I have doubts about the location but after reaching only I realized that it is the place I was looking at to enjoy the weekend. We walked a lot on the beach, which looks more like a private one to the property. Excellently maintained. Taken care of each and every minute detail in rooms as well as outside, as everything is custom made exclusively for The Seascape. Certainly not one of the rundown hotels and guesthouses in Matara. Would plan another visit in December when the Ocean is going to be pleasant.

The wooden stubs depicting feminine figures used as door stoppers, though made very artistically.

We had a lovely room overlooking the small garden and long beach. A great position. The beach was ideal for walking and the surf perfect for beginners upwards. The breakfast was terrific , the staff super friendly and facilities on point.

Whilst the food was good we felt that dinner could have had more local food options. One might we ate next door where freshly caught fish and local curries were available. We felt Seascape have the opportunity to offer similar in a more comfortable setting that Seascape have.

A very nice small and personal hotel right by the sea. The rooms were modern, clean and had a nice balcony facing the ocean. Even the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

We spent 3 nights there which was perfect since it is quite far from everything and we spend all our time inside the hotel. The dishes on the menu were not that many and a bit expensive to be Sri Lanka. For 3 days it was ok and the food was very good.

This property is the most amazing place, and I am so grateful to all the staff who made my trip super special. From the moment I arrived nothing was too much trouble. I like to sit in the beach so every morning they arrange the lounger for me. The staff also arranged a tuk tuk driver for me who was outstanding and as a solo traveller I felt so safe but also grateful for everything over the 5 days. We visited some amazing places that will stay in my memory forever!

The breakfasts are outstanding so please ask for a Sri Lankan breakfast which is out of this world !! Truly amazing The rooms are clean and comfortable. Pool area and bar area are lovely too and the staff are so welcoming.
