Some time ago it was probably a very nice hotel and still could be much more better with a small amount of effort. But at this moment a lot of small things what makes various inconveniences. Such as: WC doors closes just with big preasure (for wife and kids imposible), broken chair on terrace, leaking toilet while flushing water, quite dirty, chairs, table and other surfaces quite sticky, feeling like dirty event in breakfast area, under bed tons of dust, very noisy AC, breakfast very very casual and very average taste and etc. Location is quite good - near the ocean. If looking for something cheaper and can easily tolerate small inconveniences - it is ok. Big advantage pool and quite nice garden, just in evening mosquitos.

    Matara is a beautiful coastal town in southern Sri Lanka,...

    Matara is a beautiful coastal town in southern Sri Lanka, full of charm and local culture. The beaches are clean and peaceful—perfect for swimming, surfing, or just relaxing. I enjoyed exploring the historic Matara Fort and visiting nearby places like Polhena Beach and Parey Dewa Temple. The local food is delicious, and the people are warm and welcoming. It's a great place to experience authentic southern Sri Lankan life with a mix of nature, history, and the sea.

    Polhena

    Polhena If you are looking for a tourist only beach, this isn't it. Mostly locals and that's why it was so lovely. Very small beach with no waves. A dead reef but some fish and turtles. Local people there were really kind. Which is what made this place special. The area itself was a bit of a tourist trap but the beach was actually was a small and cute meeting point.

    Matare is part of a chain of cities along the southernmost coast of Sri Lanka. It has beaches for expert surfers as well as beginners and those who just want to be by the beach. The beaches along the coast are all sparkling translucent and enticing. Find hotels along the shore because the traffic on the roads is dense and sometimes unpleasant to westerners the beaches and the kindness of the population more than make up for it.

    Nice place, but you have to make an effort to explore, which is nice. Not the commercial fully packaged commercial tourist deal. Good quirky options. Has quite a lot of Sri Lanka's history, forts, but courts, and old paved streets, as I said, a great if you make a little effort to explore. The Duchman's Street is a great beachside restaurant!

    Nature. Natural food.

    Nature. Natural food. Luckily, not too many tourists yet, and it is not too crowded like in other parts of the island (e.g., in Merissa.)Avoid Matara city itself - it's crowded. Look for places nearby, where Google View shows more green color.

    Polhena beach is an excellent place to have a safe swim for a traveller and can see turtles in the sea if you are lucky enough. And can visit Matara light house and Kudawalla water air hole by travelling a bit from Matara which has another nice beach.

    It is on the ocean shore, literally!) The owner is so so friendly and caring, he gave us bigger room and bring one more fan, drive me to the supermarket because shops are little bit far from the place. Hotel is perfect for calm ocean rest far from crowds, close to the nature. In the rooms sockets are not European type, but the owner showed us lifehack how to make it fit)) Also the place has common kitchen and fridge The atmosphere is wonderful My favourite hotel on Sri Lanka 💎

    This is the best hostel in Sri Lanka. Beds are so comfortable and rooms while small, are very clean. I stayed in the 4-bed dorm and found it great. Amenities are great including pool, yoga and a roof top bar/restaurant. The hostel is very social but not crazy party vibes which is nice. Right near Doctors House for live music if you do want to party and a great beach for swimming too.
