Batticaloa Hotels with Balcony

This is a very good hotel. Everything is clean, tidy, and beautiful. The rooms are spacious, and the grounds are well-maintained. The room comes with toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, a shaving kit, body lotion, and a dental kit. Personally, I would have liked slippers as walking barefoot on the cold tiles wasn't very comfortable. Bathrobes would also have been a nice addition. There were never any issues finding sun loungers on the beach; there were always plenty available. It wasn't until the third day that we realized you could ask for mattresses for the loungers, and they would bring them to you. The hotel staff seems to hide them somewhere overnight. Regarding the sea, many complain about the difficult entry due to rocks, seaweed, and coral. For us, this was a plus because we love to snorkel. We saw the best coral on the left side of the beach, near the buoys, before reaching the big boat. The right side had only seaweed and was very shallow. It's better to swim in the morning, as the tide goes out in the afternoon. The water was a bit cloudy all days of our stay. We saw an interesting lionfish and a moray eel. On the hotel grounds, there's a flock of annoying crows. One afternoon, while relaxing on the beach, they swiped wet wipes from my bag, so it's best to close all your belongings when you go for a swim. About the food: it's quite decent and varied. For those who don't like spicy food, there's a chance of getting burned. For example, one day the noodles were delicious and not spicy, but on other days they were terribly hot. It's best to avoid the wooden food stand, as everything there is spicy. They occasionally offered shrimp, but they weren't peeled. Locals, of course, eat everything with their hands, but we found it uncomfortable. For dinner, only water is provided; other drinks cost extra. At first glance, the prices on the bar menu seemed reasonable, but then they add a 30% service charge, which sometimes isn't even provided. For example, I walked to the bar myself, ordered a drink, and carried it back to my sun lounger. Where was the service there? Yet, it was still +30%. We usually went to nearby cafes for lunch and typically got takeout to eat in our room because these cafes don't have air conditioning. We couldn't find any decent shops nearby, only a shabby kiosk where you could at most buy water. It's quite a distance from Colombo airport. You need to be prepared for at least a 5-hour drive on narrow roads. However, we did see an elephant on the way, so we didn't even have to go on a safari! Overall, we were satisfied with our holiday at this hotel.

nice scenery! eat well! The room faces the sea! Watch the sunrise in the morning and watch the sunset on the beach in the afternoon! The hotel staff is very welcoming. Also take us to visit various public areas. Be responsive. Definitely a good place to go on holiday. The hotel's spa is also very comfortable! It is highly recommended to try the Indian Ayurvedic massage. There is oil in the brain to nourish the brain. Massage the whole body for a whole day.

El personal del hotel muy amable. Nos atendieron cuando necesitabamos (aunque fuesen las 6:30 de la mañana) y siempre muy amablemente. La piscina estaba bien pero el agua muy caliente. En cuanto al resto de instalaciones, la habitación estaba bien y el baño pequeño pero bien. La sala de estar también bien.
