I liked this place, close to the beach and everything here is super clean. The breakfast is delicious and you get a huge portion. The owners are friendly and always take good care for you. If you stay here you should eat at KKR it's the best food in Sri Lanka! Trust me :)

This is a beautiful beachfront property to stay at. The view was amazing with the sound of the waves. Just sit back and relax. Amanda was an amazing host. Very friendly and helpful. She even drove us to the nearest bus stand herself as we had a bus to catch. She offered us some really tasty and delicious local cuisine. String hoppers, dal and potato curry with coconut sambol. Thoroughly loved the experience of staying here for 2 days.

Most beautiful location and place right on the Beach of Nilaveli that makes you feel home and welcome within a nano second. A real gem for the seeker of unspoiled beaches that don’t want to miss out on luxury and excellent food. Rooms are spacious, stylish, with ocean view and very comfy! Amazing, kind and very helpful hotel manager and staff. Delicious and big breakfast with fresh food & selection of different singhalese flavors/tastes. We were even made coconut roti for breakfast when stating we never had any. And it came just complementary! Also dinner is most enjoyable, not just the food but also sitting outside right by the beach. When asking about activities they were organized right away. As we had a bit of a journey ahead of us on the last day even a meal on the house was prepared, without us asking for it und and on the house.

Host was great. Beautiful beach, ocean, pool & nearby snorkelling at Mortar Rock. Recommend DivinGurus for trips who were great, not the other option north up the beach.

The location was quiet, you can walk to a few restaurants. We were pleased to escape lots of people! Amal & his son were very nice and organised a snorkelling trip, which we loved - such a nice guide.

    Perfect location on the beach and the staff were incredibly helpful. Amazing evening meal on the beach and walking distance to the more lively beach bars. We had a room with AC overlooking the pool which was ideal and good value.

    Unbeatable location right on the beach (although the rooms are not) with sun beds and tables for dinner. Very friendly staff and good food. Basic but clean cabanas. The owner was very nice and helped me find info about bus times. Overall good vibe.

    The NN Beach Resort & Spa is a great hotel, located right on the beach. We had such a great stay that we decided to stay longer and enjoyed the calm and relaxation. The complex is very well maintained. The rooms were also clean and tidy. The staff and the manager are very friendly and ensure a pleasant atmosphere.

    Amazing location right on the beach. A real eye for detail in the design of the space, everything created for pure chillout. Plenty of shade if you wanted it on the large double bed sized divans. Order up a cocktail, take a dip in the ridiculously warm ocean 30 metres away - what’s not to love?

    Very nice hotel, right on the beach with it's own private beach which is cleaned every day. Tranquil location. Nice big pool which is very clean. Dappled shade on the beach from the coconut palms make sunbathing very comfortable. Sunbeds and beach towels are provided. Manager and staff are fantastic. Can't find any faults. PADI dive centre next door and can get to pigeon island very easily from here. Food is pretty good in the restaurant. Very comfortable bed and quality linen

    A wonderful, spacious and thoughtfully decorated apartment for a couple of nights in Nilaveli. The bedrooms were comfortable and outlook across the pool to the ocean was wonderful. We loved being right on the beach and having access to the pool. Due to friends also staying in the area, we are confident that this is one of the better apartments in this complex :-) We had a minor request during our stay and messaged the owners via booking.com. They were very responsive.
