Lovely pool, really close to a beautiful beach. Room was a good size and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Consistently incredibly slow service for food, which would never arrive for all of us at a similar time. Some of the strangest food we experienced in Sri Lanka - it became entertaining to see what we were going to get! They had a few dishes that were delicious though. The staff were so friendly and tried really hard to offer a great service, so we never complained. The room felt a little tired and not the cleanest. The area surrounding the resort is really run down - more to be aware -it didn’t impact on our time there, which we really enjoyed.

What a gem of a hotel. Off the beaten track set amongst acres of arable farmland this just adds to its charm. A short walking distance to the beach and hotel tuktuks readily available to take you out elsewhere Plenty to see and do here - hot springs, ancient Buddhist Stupas and more. A 600m stroll along path in opposite direction to beach takes you past grazing goats, wonderful water fowl, through masses of beautiful white butterflies to crocodile lake where mid afternoon you can catch a glimpse of these reptiles coming up for some air. The hotel itself is newly developed with modern air conditioned spacious chalets complete with shady verandas. A good sized pool with loungers surrounded by tropical landscaped gardens makes this the ideal holiday setting for families and couples. Staff are welcoming and helpful. Scrumptious healthy Sri Lankan breakfasts - organic fruits and juices from trees in the grounds with honey & curd, free range eggs or full English if you prefer. Truly idyllic place

Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The hotel offered different breakfast options, the rooms were spacious, the environment was quiet, and the swimming pool was clean. The service was attentive, and when there was a power outage one evening, the staff quickly resolved the issue. Highly recommend!

The entrance is not very noticeable when you are driving along the main road. It's very peaceful but also a little bit far from lively areas at night.

The rooms are excellent and can accommodate a family very well. Swimming pool was excellent. Really nice environment surrounded by fruit bearing trees, ample parking space and accommodation for the driver as well.

Kettle in one of the rooms was not working. The hot water seemed have a problem. There was no coffee sachets in the room, only tea. Some stray dogs were there, may be the hotel needs to look in to it. Food wasnt that tasty, but ok.

Nice quite fantastic property. Staff is very friendly. Food was good! They had Sri Lankan style and English style breakfast to choose, Both of them were delicious. Thank you!

They did not have kids meals or we had 14 adults and 5 kids. They only served 14 breakfast meals for the adults. But it was enough for all of us. ( I thought they could have given free meals for the kids. Was not a big deal)

After 2 years of waiting due to Corona and the political Situation in Sri Lanka, Jena and his cousin finally opened the resort this year. Very comfortable and clean rooms with a lot of tiny lovely details. The whole place is very peaceful and Jena and team always try to extend it with new "special" areas (Currently they are building an area for making bonfire and finishing the roof top bar). Jena and his team are very kind and attentive and fulfill your wishes at its best. You will be warmly welcomed here! Highly recommended!

The staff are lovely, trying hard. Really lovely boys. Eager to please.Gardens are beautiful- they have put in so much effort.. Near the beach. Great value.

Needs a deep clean thought out rooms. They ‘freshen’ rooms. Towels changed, beds made, water replaced but proper deep cleans of bathrooms and bedrooms needed, then regular cleans needed- sink, shower need good cleans. All windows need a proper clean and polish, including glass in and around restaurant. Just more attention to detail with so many staff around and it would be up a level. Only one person who could make drinks so limited chances to buy drinks- would have ordered more than 1 per day. Rubbish in local area not their fault but needs something doing about it too.

Idealic low key villas set around a beautiful pool. Ideal for families who spend a lot of time in the pool. Very clean and comfortable. Staff were great and the restaurant was also very good.

Everything was great. We did end up staying at a property right on the beach afterward, which was my preference, purely for the location as I love the beach. But the pool was not nearly as nice and Anukama is only 1 block back from the beach, so if a pool is your preference - definately Anukuma. The only other thing I will note and this is throughout Sri Lanka, only sheets are given, no blankets and when the rooms are air-conditioned it would be nice to have some blankets in the room :-)

The room was really good, very clean and comfortable. The games area and pool are great for families. We really enjoyed the archery and carom board. Nilaveli beach is stunning and still feels unspoilt.

Although breakfast was included, we were unsure what we could order and were not given an option the first morning. Maybe consider a menu that guests could choose from (a checklist)? Also, fresh juices are best served chilled. A second small hand towel per person would be useful. Naming the laundry would avoid giving clean clothes to the wrong person (as happened to us). It is a shame the two top balcony areas are not used more - i.e. for serving food as people had to wait to be served breakfast due to the lack of tables.

It's a wonderful place to stay. It has a big swimming pool, just 200 meters walk from the sea. It's new, they've been open since 2 weeks. Beautiful stone houses around the pool with large clean rooms, good beds and lovely garden. Good breakfast. Really fantastic. The manager is very nice and helpful. If you are going to Nilaveli go here, our best stay in Sri Lanka!
