tolles Wohlfühlhotel mit super Restaurant an einem wunderschönen Strand

Das Hotel gehört zu den schönsten Unterkünften, die wir auf unserer Rundreise gewählt hatten. Gefallen haben uns (in ungeordneter Reihenfolge): - dass wir schon den Pool und die Liegen am Strand nutzen konnten, obwohl wir weit vor der offiziellen Check-in-Zeit im Hotel eingetroofen waren - dass man uns den Wunsch nach einem Zimmer im 2. OG erfüllt hatte - wie bei der Buchung angegeben - der herrlich breite und kilometer lange Strand, der am Morgen zu Spaziergängen einlud (bis zum Turtle Beach, wo man wirklich immer auf Schildkröten trifft) - das schöne Zimmer mit Blick auf Pool und Meer - der super Pool, der aufgrund seiner Größe auch zum Schwimmen geeignet war und darüber hinaus sogar erfrischend - dass man uns ungefragt angeboten hatten, am Abreisetag bis 14 Uhr im Zimmer bleiben zu können - das absolut leckere und sehr empfehlenswerte Dinner (weil das Abendessen so lecker war, sind wir auch am zweiten Abend im Hotel geblieben - was wir sonst auf unserer Reise nie getan haben) - das sehr freundliche und umsichtige Personal - der bewachte Parkplatz direkt vor dem Hotel

Es gab Gäste (Engländer), die gleich 2 x 2 Liegen für sich "gebucht" hatten, sowohl im Schatten, als auch in der Sonne. Wir fanden es befremdlich, das dies vom Personal toleriert und sogar gefördert wurde. Liegen am Strand und am Pool wurden auf Wunsch vom Personal reserviert. Baden im Meer war wegen der starken Strömung und Brandung leider nicht möglich.

Schönes Hotel für einen Strandaufenthalt

- schönes und sauberes Zimmer, das täglich gereinigt wird - schöner Strandabschnitt, der nicht überlaufen ist - abwechslungsreiches Frühstück - überall sehr nettes Personal

- wirkt teilweise etwas heruntergekommen z.B. am Poolbereich, wie ist oft in Asien ist. Aber für den Preis des Hotels könnte man sich besser um die Ausstattung kümmern - Pool ist leider den kompletten Vormittag und Mittag im Schatten

Ein Ort zum Entspannen und Genießen.

Wir hatten die obere tolle Suite mit rundum Blick. Die war traumhaft. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich! Und der Service hervorragend. Die Lage vom Hotel fanden wir perfekt, da es etwas abseits vom Trubel ist. Sehr empfehlen können wir auch den Masseur, man sollte sich dort eine Massage gönnen. Auch der Zimmerservice war so gründlich, als ob wir ein neues Zimmer bekommen hätten.

Hier fällt uns nichts ein.

Myror i soffan i sviten som bet vår dotter

Fantastisk utsikt och rummet överlag.

Tyvärr var det myror i soffan som bet Vår dotter under natten. Boendet skyllde på våra sockerfria kakor istället för att erkänna att de var deras välkomstfrukt som lockat dit myrorna. Sviten var inte värd pengarna då de var ganska slitna möbler/soffgrupp.

Bien sauf le restaurant…

Les chambres , la piscine, l’accès plage et le personnel de l’hôtel

Le restaurant trop onéreux et des produits pas en relation avec le tarif. Personnel d’un ancien temps. Trop nombreux pour pas grand chose … Hygiène du restaurant à revoir et les odeurs dans l’ensemble de l’hôtel de cuisine …

Coastal Bliss

The seamless blend of comfort, cleanliness, and the idyllic coastal setting made this stay an absolute delight. It is a wonderful escape. It provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation. From the well-maintained properties to the magical moments by the beach, every aspect of the experience was infused with warmth and hospitality.

Vegetarian breakfast options, particularly hot dishes, are somewhat limited.

Close to main Hikkaduwa but away from the noise. Beach in front of the hotel not really suitable for swimming but nice for walking, paddling, playing. Staff extremely helpful. Very clean, nice breakfast. Nice dinner too.

Excellent, facilities were great, staff were super accommodating & friendly and really made our stay

The breakfast was lovely, they had a local chef on to prepare eggs/sri Lankan pancake fresh, as well as a good selection of buffet options. The staff could not have been better, so accomodating & friendly.. location was absolutely perfect (in a slightly quieter section of the beach but super close to the livelier side)..

Absolut empfehlenswert

Wir haben 3 Nächte im Lucky Elephant übernachtet und es war einfach wunderbar. Das Hotel ist an einem wunderschönen Sandstrand mit türkisblauem Wasser gelegen, der Pool angenehm frisch und sauber. Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, weit genug entfernt vom vollen Hikkaduwa Strand (den wir auch gar nicht schön fanden und auch nicht empfehlen würden). Hier gibt es ein paar gute Restaurants und Shops. Das Zimmer ist ausreichend groß, sehr sauber und hat bequeme Betten (wir hatten das Standard Zimmer). Das sehr leckere Frühstücksbuffet hatte viel Auswahl und wechselte jeden Tag. Der Service überaus freundlich und sehr gut. Die Massage im Hotel war ein Traum. Die beste, die wir in Sri Lanka hatten. Wir waren gleich zwei mal bei Upali, der über 12 Jahre Erfahrung hat. In unserer 3-wöchigen Sri Lanka Reise, was dieses Hotel definitiv das Beste und wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank nochmal!

Incredibly welcoming, friendly and clean modern Sri Lankan beach boutique hotel

The hotel was bright and airy and felt incredibly clean. The staff were unbelievably friendly, as were many of the locals in Hikkaduwa. From the moment we checked in, until check out, we felt welcomed by all the staff whom all went out of their way to wish us a good morning and served us by the poolside or in the restaurant area. The food was excellent, with a wide variety on their menu from small snacks through to large seafood dishes with fresh local ingredients. The location for us was perfect, the beach is immediately behind the hotel and quite quiet. The hotel put on a small buffet-style breakfast each morning which was plenty. The hotel is directly opposite a small family-run business renting scooters so traveling around Hikkaduwa directly from our hotel was very easy. Tuktuk's are always parked just outside the hotel too. The hotel allowed us a late checkout as there wasn't another booking after us and so we were able to relax a little longer before we left! It was our first time in Sri Lanka, and the Lucky Elephant made it so very special.

Luxury in Hikkaduwa

The suite was absolutely perfect. The view, the relaxation, and the staff were all unbelievable. We stayed in many places in Sri Lanka. Each place had its own personality, but if you are looking for a touch of luxury, you don't have to look any further than The Lucky Elephant. A special shout out to Tyronne who was always greeting us with a smile and a firm handshake and to Upali who according to my wife does magical massages. He really knows the art of massage. Every single person working there is so friendly and helpful!

There was nothing.

beautiful setting, stunning views, excellent customer service. Truly relaxing!

Beautiful boutique hotel right on the beach on the edge of Hikkaduwa - seaview suite view was stunning, staff lovely and excellent customer service throughout. Food in the hotel was really good (recommend the chili crab, and traditional Sri Lankan curry particularly). Big shout out to Tyronne and his team in the restaurant - excellent service and nothing was too much trouble, always welcoming and happy smiling face!

Good Hotel

Very nice design. Very calming colors combinated with plants all around. The pool is great, fresh flower’s in the room and good breakfast with local and western food.

The stuff seems a little unhappy. Especially that service boss in the restaurant is a bit strange and with a fake friendliness.

Superb

Fabulous hotel - great location on lovely section of beach but easy walk / tuktuk to central hikkaduka and turtle beach for more action. Room spacious and clean with excellent shower. Very friendly staff (particular thanks to Tyronne who met everyone with a smile constantly and ensured we had a lovely experience).
