Many restaurants and shacks closed, not many tourists. Nice beach, a bit dirty, near to Colombo, good train links if you need to go in to do stuff.Large town which I didn’t see until leaving. Mount Lavinia Hotel closed.

I really liked the area, beautiful large beach. The hotel I stayed at were really professional and great value for money. There are quite a few places to eat around but during this time many places were closed due to the escalation of the Corona Virus. They do offer water sport activities around the area but it was just nice to have some peace. The people around do love to try and sell you items even when you say no, so be adamant and don't entertain them.

Mount Lavinia Hotel is a very old colonial establishment. We love staying there and there is a great choice of food whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. The staff are friendly and helpful and indeed, the service is excellent.

Room was good and clean. Staff was very friendly. Dining is good and I was able to find lots of varieties of foods. Local as well as international food were available in the all day dining area. So clean and the view was so great with the pool area and beach.

It is a lovely and famous, coastal area in the capital. However, beach-front properties are often fully booked and are expensive. The area is quite safe for anyone. The beach is beautiful, but locals don't recommend dipping in the sea here as it is considered too polluted.
