Serein Beach Hotel

Room was smaller than expected, tiny bathroom, host very welcoming, was given a free cocktail in the evening and had a meal of chicken fried rice, upon checkout they charged us for the supposedly free cocktail and charged us triple the price of the meal which we could of got cheaper in any nearby restaurant, 🥴 nearest restaurants was a 15 minute walk away and Tangalle town about a 30 minute walk.

Great stay. Lovely and very helpful staff. Great breakfast! Pristine swimming pool on a lovely beach. Beach is not for swimming but fine to walk along the shore to see the impressive waves. Enough Restaurants in the neighborhood. We stayed with our 3 children and they loved it too.

Such a great holidays ! Thank you very much for your services and your kindness. You deserve this review hoping that it helps Keep going ! I recommend 100 % Sri Lanka is a wonderful country with nice and smile people Merci beaucoup :) Marion, Roxane and Ilham

Very beautiful place. Natural atmosphere and silence. Clean rooms, friendly staff, helpful manager Gaja. Delicious food (Rasai). If you are looking for “bounty” place - this is it. My best recommendations! Five 5 Stars for me. I’ll be back for sure!

We had a lovely stay here Here is what we liked about this hotel : The amazing beach in front The great and clean swimming pool The breakfast and overall restaurant quality The commun areas which are rally relaxing Restaurant staff and pool gentlemen are lovely and professional. The beautiful and peaceful garden (no music ! Perfect!!) Here is some suggestions to improve : Some rooms need a little renovations. Our room felt a bit tired, stains on the wall, on the lampshade, old curtains, old carpets in the room, broken closet, big room but small bed, only one coffee dose and one water for two... rooms are quite basic but the rest of the hotel is great!!!

Fantastic hotel in front of a wild beach, very nice cuisine and a friendly and professional staff. Spécial mention for Nipuna, for his kindness. He gave us good tips for the next days of our trip. Bohoma istouti !

Loved the hotel; the atmosphere, the structure and the fact that they offer rooms with everything you need in an environmental friendly accommodation. Absolutely loved the Sri Lankan curry’s, definitely the best dish in the menu. Make sure you negotiate with the tuktuk driver before leaving.

This hotel is absolutely lovely and at an excellent price. It is down a little quiet road off the beaten track but you'll be glad to have made the journey. The manager was great - even arranged for us to have a packed breakfast as we were leaving early. Food was great, loved the fish. The hotel goes straight out onto the most beautiful beach that has loads of little cute hermit crabs. Wish we had stayed longer

Both me & my wife booked this place for 2 nights after seeing many reviews online. Google maps shows 2 roads to reach the hotel. The first one is apparently the correct one and a good Tar road. We ended up taking the 2nd road which was a total nightmare as it was filled with pot holes and mud and as a result ended up knocking the bottom of my car many times. Apparently no one uses that road according to the hotel. Anyhow, The hotel had Covid-19 guidelines in place and we were given a welcome drink on arrival. For our luck we were the only 2 guests for the 3 days. They have a nice clean swimming pool outside before the beach. The sea is too rough with sea currents to swim but you can walk by the sea and there are lots of beautiful sea shells that you can collect. If you want you can go a few inches into the sea and get yourself wet without trying to swim. The rooms were clean and spacious. The A/C was working and so was the hot water in the bathroom. Beds were comfortable. The balcony has a view of the swimming pool and beach. Regarding the food, we stayed on Full board basis and they have an a la carte menu where you can pick and order food from. The serving portions are generous and very filling. Overall the food was very tasty across all 3 meals and we really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. If you are bored in your room, you can take a stroll on the road where one side there is a marsh area and you get to see dragonflies, butterflies, lizards and birds. The view from the rooftop of the hotel is truly amazing. On one side you see a massive forest and on the opposite side the sea. It's very beautiful early morning and in the night. Overall, we had an awesome stay and enjoyed every bit of it.
