Top Puppet Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Had a nice stay at the hotel with my wife and daughter, staff are so friendly, room and common spaces are very clean. As for the food & beverages, it can be better, it is below average. The pool with a swim up bar is for adults only, which make it difficult to spend time with your kid while enjoying a drink. Overall, it was a good experience."

The Vitamin Sea Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff"

Splendour Residence

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived in the early hours of the morning, with the help of Chaminda who kindly met us at the airport. Incredibly warm welcome, lovely place to stay, and amazing hospitality from the entire family and staff. Thank you for helping us enjoy Sri Lanka"

Kumu Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic beach front location with great views. Rooms and common areas very good standard and staff very helpful and hospitable. Lovely free perks in addition including afternoon tea/ cakes and drinks (gin/tonic, wine and beer) from 5-6pm. Food outstanding."

R Degrees Boutique Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"My travel agent had originally booked me a hotel inland, but I couldn’t visit Sri Lanka’s coastline without spending a night by the beach. I found this hotel on Hotels.com, and I’m so glad I did! The location ( right on a quiet, scenic stretch of beach) was peaceful and beautiful. Most of the time, I had the beach almost entirely to myself. The room was spacious, spotless, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The pool was lovely too, but honestly, the beachside area was just too perfect not to spend all my time there. Although I’m usually not a “massage person,” I have to say their therapist, Sharanga, was exceptional. It was one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I highly recommend booking a full body massage with her! The food was delicious, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder or more welcoming. On my last day, they even invited me to take part in a Christmas cake mixing ceremony, such a thoughtful and joyful experience. It was a beautiful way to end my time in Sri Lanka."
