Restaurant was closed by 10.00pm, it should be open a bit longer.

Amazing sea view and the swimming pool. You can just walk to/from the swimming pool to the sand beach. The staff are really good and helpful. Plenty of parking space in the hotel. We will visit again next time. Restaurant food was delicious.

Dirty - room and the whole premises. The guy don’t speak English The futon (in the family room) in a tiny mattress on a stone bench They recommend a guy for snorkeling / boat tour / … who is very expensive. (55 000 roupies to go on pigeon island … we managed to do it for 20 000 roupies) Restaurant is dull and gloomy No bar No hot water in the shower The swimming pool is more for the diving center than the hotel - only 2 sunbeds.

Rooms are quite simple, but convenient.

Lovely location. Very close to the beach with a pool.

Very bad experience. One evening without running water, old and poorly maintained infrastructure. Cleanliness was lacking with dirty towels and bed sheets, and basic hygiene standards not met. Toilet paper wasn’t refilled and the bathroom was barely functional. The spot on Nilaveli Beach is poorly chosen and not well arranged. The beach area is separated with chicken wire, just like the dining room, which takes away a lot of charm. The beach itself is loud and feels neglected. Would not recommend.

Amazing staff, very kind and helpful. The rooms have nice terraces

Service and location where super. Very nice personnel and very helpful. I was also very pleased about the laundry service. Spacious room with very new and quiet AC.

Photos could be updated to show the current condition of rooms and bathroom

Accommodating and friendly staff. The pool was clean and beautiful, loved walking a few steps into crystal clear ocean.

In the afternoons, the pool can get a bit busy as a diving center uses it for practice sessions, so it might be nice to have some dedicated guest-only hours. The restaurant was closed during my visit, so I didn’t have the chance to try the food, perhaps a note about operating dates/hours in advance would be helpful for planning.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The location is excellent, with direct access to the beach, which made for a truly relaxing experience. The pricing is very fair and offers great value for money. The pool is lovely, and the hotel is easy to locate and reach, making everything smooth from the start. The rooms and washrooms are also clean and quite decent for the price we paid.

Lot of garbage lying around and also on the beach

Excellent location on a beutifull beach, kind stuff, very close to pigeon island

Stayed in February 2025

One of the rooms did not have a lock. Bath rooms were not clean. One of the rooms was not airconditioned. This property may not be suitable for foreign tourist. Local tourist may be able to tolerate. The guys at the management was friendly and they did their best.

Good location. Close to the beach. Staffs were friendly.

I recently booked two rooms at Sea Way Hotel through Booking.com, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what was advertised. Upon arrival with my family, the hotel didn't meet our expectations at all. I also ordered food on the way, but it was disappointing—the dishes looked nothing like what was shown on the menu and tasted terrible. When I raised this issue with Mr. Elanko, the restaurant manager, he was incredibly rude and dismissive. Wi-Fi didn’t work either. Overall, the experience was not worth the money I paid, and I would not recommend this hotel.

Need improvement in bathroom water supply pressure.

Swimming pool and direct access to beach.

You can’t pay with card so please make sure you have sufficient cash with you as the nearest ATM is 2km away. Restaurant is convenient but the food around the hotel is nicer. The restaurant staff is great.

Simple hire but… location location location! Direct at the beach, super dive shop on the premises. We stayed 5 nights and dove every day. The hotel also has a pool now which is a super addition. The staff is great and super friendly. Rooms are simple but clean. Hotel is the last hotel on the beach meaning a clean and private beach with beds to enjoy the sun in peace and quiet.

Room are very basics, restaurant empty, payment cash only.

Good location , direct beach access.
