The staff and location were great, but my room had an ant problem in the bathroom and the sheets felt clean but were stained. They gave me a late check out and held my bags for an hour, so that was nice, but unfortunately room 204 did not feel worth the price. The groubds are nice though

Nice small hotel close to the beach, town and bars etc. Nice pool and bar area and food is good (we had to pay extra for breakfast). Ideal for a short break, the hotel arranged turtle swimming for us and can organise many other trips, also Spa on site. We had travelled from Tissa and first impressions here was that Marissa was very touristy and the route to the “secret beach” is a rubbish strewn dirt track, however once we settled in, we enjoyed the area.

Handagedara Stay

Lovely hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Located a few minutes from the beach and lots of lovely restaurants. Rooms are a great size. Only negative was a very noisy peacock living close by, but we had ear plugs so it didn't disrupt our stay. Great breakfast with lots to choose from.

Great place to stay

This hotel was fabulous. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We stayed in a standard room and it was very pleasant. There was a double bed with a large mosquito net covering it. The air con worked well. The breakfast was varied and tasty. The pool was warm and refreshing. The beach is a couple of minutes down the road, look for the sign to 'secret beach'. There's beautiful views here and lots of places to eat. The best thing was the monkeys who kept popping into the garden and sometimes through the open roof and into the bathroom!

Superfin pool, men svårt att vistas vid den på eftermiddag/ kväll då det är väldigt mycket mygg. Vi hade familjerummet längst in (mot poolen) och vår uteplats var omöjlig att använda efter kl 16 då det var hundratals mygg. I övrigt- fin resort, trevlig personal, bra men slitna rum och jättebra frukost. Väldigt bra läge!

Ingenting å utsette på, fantastisk!

Fantastisk opphold. Personalet er svært behjelpelig og vennlige. Grunnet en misforståelse trodde hotellet at meg og min venninne at vi var tre, og vi fikk derfor familierom. Rommet var helt fantastisk med to senger, derav en stor king size med dobbeltdyne. Frokosten er enkel, men veldig god. De steker egg om du ønsker. God beliggenhet, med kort vei til stranden. Grunnet sent fly på dagen for utsjekk, fikk vi et eget rom der vi kunne ha bagasjen og kunne dusje etter å ha vært på stranden. Alt i alt et fantastisk overnattingssted på Sri Lanka.

Great stay!

We had a great stay at Handagedara! The service was great and the owners were extremely helpful. They helped us arrange safari as well as transport to our next destination, and they also gave us a little snackpack for the safari. Room was clean and cute. The breakfast was served on a nice balcony with a view over the pool and green garden. However, breakfast was a bit disappointing. We expected more options from the buffet, both because it is called a buffet and also because the accommodation was more expansive than other hotels. This buffet was very similar to the things we got at other accommodations were a breakfast platter was served instead. The coffee could also have been much stronger. But overall, it was a great stay at Handagedara!
