    The location is great for relaxing at the beach, but more difficult to get away for activities outside the hotel.

    The staff were very attentive and were always friendly and keen to help. The breakfasts were lovely - possibly a bit overwhelming! They arranged dolphin watching one morning, and when we didn't see any dolphins they gave us a repeat tour the next day at cost price.

    I had a wonderful peaceful time here. It was lovely to do very little, swim, walk and talk to the wonderful owners. The room was ideal and the most important thing about Omeesha are the owners. They are genuine lovely, welcoming hosts. This place is not just for westerners it has many Sri Lankans staying here which is a great way to meet and see people. When you arrive you may feel disappointed as there are wind turbines close by (government owned) BUT DON’T let this put you off. Look beyond the immediate and remind yourself why you are here in Sri Lanka. Support the Sri Lankans who are working hard and in my opinion doing a great job amidst some difficult times.

    Remote location- bicycle rental would have been nice to go around exploring.

    Very friendly staff - amazing breakfast - one of the best during our 3 month stay in Sri Lanka. Nice bungalow with outdoor shower was a plus. Very comfortable bed. Beach was clean and safe to swim.

    Nothing, all good.

    Great location on a lovely, quiet stretch of beach, very good for swimming. The included breakfast is delicious and very generous, as are all of the meals. My room was very comfortable and quiet. Staff are pleasant and helpful, and the owners do everything they can to make you feel at home. I thoroughly recommend this hotel!

    It would be a really nice touch if the owners could invest in a water filter system to provide drinking water for the guests. Saving on plastic waste in the process.

    Extremely well designed room in a beach bungalow. Naturally cooled by the breeze, with a spacious open air bathroom. Super comfortable extra large bed with well placed wall fans. Breakfast was very good, served by cheerful and friendly staff. The beach itself was very close and pretty clean by Sri Lanka standards. All told a peaceful and comfortable place to spend a few days.

    Isolated area surrounded by wind turbines and coal plant. Bungalow was a bit tired, and air-conditioning was an extra $10 per night if we wanted to use it. This should have been stated clearly when booking. Otherwise we enjoyed our 3 night stay.

    Excellent food by the chef, and well looked after by team. Morning coffee on the beach, followed by an amazing breakfast. The tuk-tuk driver for exploring the peninsula was fantastic who gifted us with a large freshwater tiger prawn (crayfish) which was then expertly prepared by the chef. Good beach for swimming and relaxing.

    We were upgraded to the deluxe room, but the AC didn't work. Food is bit pricey as well.

    We stayed only one day at Omeesha beach hotel and we really much enjoyed it. Management did their best to satisfy all needs of the guests. Great location near the beach, good place to view sunset. We had an excellent lunch and breakfast there. The place was very peaceful. You feel like you have the entire beach just for you. Nights were cool and the day we were there the temperature was very nice.

    Having stayed at quite a few places in Sri Lanka, At this price point, We were expecting better, I Know its by the Beach , But we were not expecting the whooshing of the wind turbines overhead !, Plus rubbish Internet, Or the OUTSIDE BATHROOM, Which could be seen as a novelty, But bringing wet sand etc into the bedroom is a hassle, Along with the worst bit, Thousands of ANTS. Mosquitoes would have been peferred, As under a net, your safe, But ants got everywhere The Restaurant, Is crazy expensive for what it serves up, We have stayed at a few places where the whole meal was cheaper than ANY of the starters here, And better. Problem is, theres nothing else around so tough. Staff are nice, A good bunch

    The staff stand and watch you eating and became too familiar. The bathrooms are dirty and have poor quality fittings. The door lock broke so we were moved to a superior room, which had a similarly grubby bathroom,

    The beach is nice but the waves have a strong pull. The dining areas and shaded areas are nice. The rooms are adequate but like many hotel rooms in Sri Lanka lack clothes storage.

    An absolute DISASTER! At first they are advertising as being a resort but the rooms are not so clean, the sheets and bedding smells like mole and the owners try to rip you off at any time. We had an incident at midday while taking a nap when the staff knocked to our door to alert us that a SNAKE slipped through the door and into our room. I jumped scared, started crying and shaking because snakes are my biggest fear. The staff and the owners were staying a couple of meters from the room, hence they were afraid of the snake too. They called a young boy and he massacred the snake in the room, leaving a huge mess behind. They said we can switch rooms but I told them we are leaving right now. The lady owner yelled at me “MAM, YOU ARE LEAVING TOMORROW“ because the next day was our check out. Hearing her yelling at me while I was physically shaking and crying, I got annoyed and told her she cannot dictate when I should leave or not. The bathroom is open to the outside so I couldn’t stay any longer knowing I can’t go to the bathroom in peace. She made me call booking to ask for checkout earlier because otherwise she would make us pay the full booking price. Thankfully for customer support of booking because they helped us to get out of there. We asked for the total bill and she inflated the service charge for rooms also (maybe for massacring the snake) and they took advantage of our situation and charged us 29.000 rupees for a car drive to Negombo. Their prices are ridiculous high comparing to the southern beaches, the property is not well maintained and they have a lot of staff but only a few are actually working. They also charge around 2.500 rupees for a main dish and the only fresh fish they are offering is tuna. We also eat shrimps but they were not cleaned and at breakfast they give you the hot water and an instant coffee do DIY. They also sold us a safari trip and charged us more than 50.000 rupees just for car transport, for 1h and 20 mins drive.

    The only good thing was the ocean that didn’t have any waves and it was good to swimming.

    No kettle , coffee and tea in rooms and no fridge. We were able to get tea and coffee when we ordered when we wanted so not too much of a problem

    Everyone super friendly owners,staff and other tourists. We were able to use the swimming pool at their other cabanas down the road. Cool , laid back atmosphere with a lovely private beach in front. The dolfin trip they arranged was amazing and we were able to do it before checking out on our 3rd day.

    It would be nicer not to have the windmills on either side of the hotel and the power station very visible further down the beach. We did know they were there though and they didn’t really interfere with our enjoyment in any way.

    Good sized cabana just behind the beach. Restaurant on the beach serving very good breakfast and a wide range of excellent food for lunch or evening meals. Very nice, cheerful and helpful staff. Pool available at sister hotel 10 minutes walk away. Private dolphin watching organised by the hotel staff, straight off the hotel beach.
