Hikkaduwa hotels near Hikkaduwa Beach

Pros: The hotel was in an ideal location, right next to the beach with amazing views. The property had very comfy beds and wonderful view from the balcony. We experienced a curfew which came into operation at the beginning of our holiday. The hotel was very accommodating and looked after us in this difficult situation.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Excellent location. Huge room with beach facing balcony. Lovely breakfast spread and courteous staff. Loved the property.

Pros: Location, facilities, breakfast

Cons: Noisy airconditioner in room

Pros: Good location right next to the beach. Good variety of food at breakfast and dinner.

Cons: Took a long time to check in, I was first put into a twin room even though I had booked a king. Room looked worn and dirty in areas (especially bathroom) did not look like the photos advertised. Staff were not as polite as I had hoped, especially in the dining hall. No drinks included at Dinner. Gym is very poor, very little equipment and what is there is rusty or dirty. Lots of crows and chipmunks in the sun lounger area which were very loud/annoying. Given the price it was not the luxury I was expecting. Book elsewhere!

Pros: The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing!! My boyfriend and I swam with turtles every single day it was so lovely! The pool area was nice and so was the restaurant. The staff were really lovely and friendly and usually, really helpful. I liked that the hotel was gated and guarded.

Cons: The rooms were not satisfactory. They were dirty especially the shower. You could see the marks where the screen hadn’t been cleaned for a very long time. The lighting in the room was very poor. Not big lights, only a few small bedside lights. Although the pool and turtle beach was amazing, it was by no means a ‘private beach’. There was a ‘back gate’ that lead from the road straight into the pool area, where passerby’s would walk through and on to the beach people would also walk from the part of the beach that isn’t a private beach, up into the hotel to cut through and carry on down the beach towards Hikkaduwa beach. There’s were security guards but more often than not, they would not stop people from going through. This was frustrating as we didn’t feel as though our belongings and bags were being looked after, like would expect them to at private beach or private hotel pool area. There was a beautiful waterfall shower in our bathroom, that if we used, would flood the entire bathroom. The showers didn’t not drain water very well at all. It meant that we had to turn the shower on and as quick as we could, get it to a normal temperature stand under it was a few seconds and then turn it of. Shampoo and soap ourselves and then turn it back on to quick rinse our hair and bodies.

Cons: Had to wait in the lobby on our only sunny day there to continually dispute their tries at transferring us to another hotel despite our wishes to stay with this hotel, the hotel we booked 11 days prior and called three hours before to confirm that all was ready. We called three hours in advance only because we had read reviews online that the hotel chain called Cinnamon Hotels which Chaaya Tranz Hikkaduwa is a part of, often over books their locations and tries to excitedly "upgrade" guests to a different hotel, despite their wishes. After continual disputes making our long start at the hotel extremely unpleasant, especially after a long day of travelling, we were finally given a room. After that point, we enjoyed our stay, the beautiful views, the pleasant staff, and beachside.

Pros: Location

Cons: Needs Refurbishment bar staff very slow when ordering drinks 10-15 minute wait, sun lounges old & a lot broken

Pros: The staff at the restaurant are extremely friendly! And the housekeeping staff are quite willing to go the extra mile if you need something extra.

Cons: It's rather busy and the guests are of a different type than the guests at Cinnamon Wild Yala and Cinnamon Lakeside, notably noisier.

Pros: The staff were lovely and so friendly they all did try their best during difficult times, the location was amazing and the room / views were lovely! Obviously the whole place is currently going through a refurb but the new rooms were beautiful and it's right on the beach, walking distance to restaurants (or very short tuk tuk ride if feeling lazy!) turtle beach walking distance (10mins) so bring snorkeling gear! Would happily come back here and stay :)

Cons: We stayed here during a difficult time so understand it was unprecedented for all staff, however communication could have been better for example some rooms were informed of the curfew (which lasted 3 days) in the morning others were not told until 8pm that evening, the manager did help us during this time and we appreciate the efforts, the consistenty with the cleaning of the room was interesting, one day our room was barely touched another we had lovely folded Swan towels and we're provided hand wash / shower gel etc (again not a huge issue but if these were provided from them start we wouldn't have gone and bought our own handwash for the room) also, when on curfew we ate in the hotel restaurant and were told at lunch only set menu was allowed...after ordering our meal (@ 6USD each) other guests were were given the a la carte menu (which we had already asked for but told not allowed at this time) food was OK but not as good as quality or value as you get in town.

Pros: Very nice hotel ,good location , I liked our room ,with the fabulous view and well designed furniture .The staff is very friendly in case of some problems they always were helpful even in the night .Thanks a lot for duty manager,he welcomed us friendly upon c/I and met us upon c/o any times he was available for us .

Cons: Great value of money and quality,however there are some small improvements need to be done by F&B and H&K departments,sometimes the service was slow ,but again the staff is very helpful and friendly .Thanks a lot to this hotel ,I recommend it !!

Pros: Good and fare place to staying. Food also good. Everything is ok.

Cons: Bit shabby on the hotel front, needing spruce up with paint but really not that noticeable

Pros: The location was perfect. Right on the beach. Pool was clean Friendly staff

Pros: Location

Cons: Except location nothing above average,dnt take your special request like late check out or early checkin may be due to huge demand

Pros: The perfect location right on the Beach. Not a modern or a luxury property but truly charming. we have been to Hikkaduwa many times but this is the very first experience in Narigama Beach area. very beautiful and exciting. The Hotel was good and worth the money you pay for. food and beverages were good. more than anything it's just a calm property in Hikkaduwa. would recommend the travelers who wish to have a charming beach vacation on Hikkaduwa. The front office girl was super friendly and helpful.

Cons: Overall it was a pleasant stay at Ranmal Beach Hotel. go for a Deluxe or a Superior Room category if you don't want to mess. we also originally book a budget room which was a very budget and Basic. on our arrival, we have changed it to a deluxe room. Food was okay and we had two Calamari dishes and the 1st one was super delicious and the 2nd one in the following day which was very average.

Pros: Property location is great because of it proximity to Narigama beach offering you a fantastic stay .

Cons: Standard rooms and budget rooms are poorly maintained . We faced electricity and water issues during our brief period of stay but the owner was kind enough to offer us an alternative better accommodation for one night out of two nights we were to stay there after we raised objection to air-conditioner not being available in the budget room category.

Pros: We loved the atmosphere of this hotel. Staff is very nice and helpful. The view from deluxe room is stunning! Located right on the beach. Near all the restaurants but still a quiet place! Highly recommended!

Cons: There could have been more options in breakfast. But it wasnt a big deal.

Cons: We were disappointed with the hotel and left for and different hotel after 5 days. Upon arrival we upgraded the room only to find. Now bulbs in any of the lights. The shower didn’t work and neither did the air conditioning. We asked for fresh towels and didn’t receive them. There was no buffet breakfast as was indicated. No cocktails available or any alcohols at the bar. Staff would stand around you whilst you ate breakfast making you feel uncomfortable. All round a bad experience.

Pros: Great location, this part of the beach is one of the best in the area - wide, sandy, no boats, clean. A lot of restaurants and bars on the beach as well as in the town. Great restaurant on the beach with a chef that knows his seafood. Great pool - also for children. See view all the way!

Cons: Breakfast was good but somewhat monotonous. More more fresh vegetables would be nice.
