Great location on the beach with a nice restaurant / bar by the Ocean. The pool was large and quiet. The family room we booked was spacious with two single beds and a double. The surrounding area felt safe and it was nice to stroll around to the other restaurants in the evenings. The manager was friendly and helped up with whatever we needed. Food was great and the banana pancakes for breakfast were perfect! We’d stay here again and could have stayed longer.

If I could give this place more than 10 stars I would. Easily the best accommodations we had for our month in Sri Lanka. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. They have an onsite kitchen that can prepare breakfast and dinner if you schedule with them in advance. We did both and the food was delicious and plentiful! The pool was great and offered amazing sunset views. They had little extras that were a nice surprise too- we could order a cup of coffee or tea any time for free, they brought us complimentary fruit smoothies while at the pool, filtered water provided in the room. They even have a TV room that we used to watch a movie one night. It felt just like home!

We had a really enjoyable stay at Diana Residence Polhena.

We had a really enjoyable stay at Diana Residence Polhena. The location is one of the biggest highlights — it is very close to Polhena/Madiha Beach, making it easy to enjoy the beautiful coastal views, swimming, relaxing, and exploring the area.

Matara isn't a big town so it is relatively quick to get from A to B. The beach is beautiful. But there aren't that many restaurants in in the town. The Matara Rest House near the fort had good food and drinks and is one of the most worth it dining options nearby. Lemon is also a good option. There are restaurants closer to the touristy spots but those are on the pricier side. snorkeling with turtles is popular in Matara.

Matara, was a good place for me.I stayed at La Polena,for 12 nights.The breakfast was excellent and the lady that made it changed the sheets and cleaned my room twice.I do think that they could give visitors a bottle of water daily.Also a jug to make a cup of tea in each room.Very little money is spend on maintaining the place.Also a sign with numbers for hiring Tuk-Tuk drivers would help.The manager is nice ,but a little slow in offering advice. Island rsetuarant past the Doctors had teh best food.I also needed more veg.So bought carrots,tomatoes and cucumber for myself.Also egg,roll in town. Restaurants at the beach are a rip off.10% added for tax.This is nonsense.Tuk driver from the Railway station to hotel.600 rup The one Hotel to Trainstation 800 the train from Matara.4 -5 hours 600rph.?

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.

​"A fantastic holiday home in Matara! The property was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It's located in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach and local amenities. The host was exceptionally helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka’s southern coast!"

One of the best hotels we stayed in all of our Sri Lanka trip. Modern, spacious and very clean rooms and a garden with a pool that is perfect to relax. The staff was incredibly friendly and helped us with organizing a scooter and laundry. We highly recommend this place!
