Tranquilo

Bonita habitación de madera con vistas al mar

Un poco caro. El baño era muy sencillo con "acabados" de hormigón a vista

Heel vriendelijk personeel met mooie ligging!

Super vriendelijk personeel, uitstekende ligging!

Er is dringend een algemeen onderhoud nodig van de faciliteiten : verfwerken in het volledige gebouw, tuinonderhoud, updaten van de kamer, versleten strandbedden, kapotte kussens.... Het zou veel beter kunnen. Het WAS allemaal mooi maar het is duidelijk dat er weinig gedaan wordt aan algemeen onderhoud momenteel.

Definitely recommended for a stay in Nilaveli

The beach is excellent and the pool was large and clean. There is adequate beach seating. The room was large and comfortable. The bathroom was large and there was no issue with hot water. The service was friendly. Highly recommended if staying in Nilaveli.

Lovely stay, breathtaking views, special time

First of all, the hotel is situated in a really special location with pristine water and private beach. Then, the premises are all very clean, the room spacious and with breathtaking views , the restaurant food delicious (we asked for vegetarian options and we got really tasty Sri Lankan vegetarian food) . Many thanks to the amazing staff everyone was so kind to us, and special mention to Diven! So sad that we are already leaving …

Absolutely nothing.

What a pity

The location is just stunning, however there is a lot to improve.

-Common areas were quite dirty -Beach beds and umbrellas were mostly damaged -Towels were evidently old -As we arrive the bathroom was flooded (however the staff was responsive and fixed it fast) -Breakfast was poor and long waiting time with poor choice -Bad smell in common area and entrance This is few things, however the amount paid does not justify it. Value for money unfortunately not acceptable. It is more expensive than any 5* we stayed in other parts of the country and it doesn’t even get close. I want anyway give credit to the staff who has been genuinely helpful without having the means.

Perfect stay!

We stayed here for two weeks, and we enjoyed it very much. The pool is not big but we spent a lot of time in it and liked it very much. Often a good option when the sea was too wavy or to change a bit for a nice chilled swim. The beach was awesome, literally at your doorstep 😊 and the sea was super clean. Perfect for swimming safely, flat sea or few waves at times but nothing to compromise your safety (and there always people around, also from the staff) 🏊🩳☀️ The restaurant was okay, but there are few excellent options also in Nilaveli town just 1 to 2km away, if one wants to change and try something different. There are many options for excursions, dolphins watching and if you're lucky as we were also spot some whales, coral and pigeon island etc The location was safe, even though a bit "isolated", it's literally 1km from the main street with shops restaurants and also tuk tuks always available to move around for your needs. That's just what we needed, a nice break from everything! If I had to add something, it would be a fridge in the room to have cold drinks at all times. Other than that, perfect stay! The staff was also very friendly and always available for any requests. We made some good friends during these 2 weeks stay. A special thank you to Sajee, Kumar, Abi, Tharanga and Desman. Thanks for everything, we will definitely be back 🙏❤️🇱🇰

Great location, clean and very nice staff!

Lovely staff who always try to handle any wishes. Great location on the Beach. Extremely spacious room with a great balcony and a very nice bathroom and shower.

There is some untapped potential here. A little more interior design and some more alternatives for drink would have made our stay even better.

best place in nilaveli

everyone was so friendly & made us feel right at home! restaurant was lovely with really great staff! Sajeevan & Dileswaran were always there to help us with anything we needed! absolutely stunning location, best place on the beach strip. There’s nothing like waking up to the sound of the waves crashing & looking out the window to see the sea

Excellent hospitality

Excellent hospitality received from Cardamon hotel- Nilaveli. I was offered personalized service for everything from room to food. My only worries that I could spend for only one night which is not enough to experience the total value of this nice hotel. Keep it up Cardamon Nilaveli Hotel.

Exceeded expectations with the best value for the money

Amazing spot near the beach

-Very nice looking building, plus awesome views to the beach. - Open spaces around the hotel. -The staff was VERY kindly and willing to help. -Very quiet spaces and zone. -VERY GOOD breakfast.

We loved the property but i think it is important to point out that it is a located in a very quiet zone and although you have a couple options of restaurants, everything else will require you to move around with tuk tuk. In our case we liked it this way.

Never stay again, and do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Checking - hassle-free and no drama. Food - Ok but the potion was too small. Beach access: Good 👍🏽

Rooms - Rooms were considerably large and had all the essential furniture. The rooms were not so clean, and soms of the furniture was covered with dust. The bed was comfortable, but an initial set of bedsheets had some marks, so we asked them to change it. Staff: OK, but could do better. We asked the staff to arrange a table on the beach, and we got surprised with the feedback we got. They just pointed to a table and asked us to take it to the beach ourselves if we wanted. Restaurant: We went to the restaurant around 8.30 pm to order some food for dinner, and they said they only have noodles. The food was good 👍🏽 but the potion was small. We talked to the staff, and they said they are temporary staff and only work when they have few guests. Pool: Not clean at all. If you care about hygiene, you will avoid it for sure. Even in the daytime, you cannot see the bottom of the pool. Walls have allergies. Room AC: Not powerful enough to keep the room at a reasonable temperature. AC get switched off in the middle of the night. Remote buttons are labelled in Mandarin. Electricity: These days, Sri Lanka has 2.5-hour-long power cuts due to the government's inability to provide electricity 24/7. Therefore expect 2.5 hour-long power cuts as the hotel does not have power generators. It was one of the worst experiences we had as the room got extremely hot during the power cuts. No emergency floodlights in the room, and even the one in the corridor does not work. So it's pitched dark! Hotel staff switch off lights around 10.00 pm, and if you want to go out of the room, you will have to use your torches. Water Pressure: No Power, No water. Simple as that. So no water for 2.5 hours. Plus no hot water.

A place to relax

We stay one week and enjoyed so much. The situation, just i front of the sea, its amazing. Good value of money. The staff its so kind and the food it's also tasty and good price. I recommend stay here.

The library on the hall could bé more clean and organized, its a pity.

If you’re looking for a peaceful hotel, this is the one.

If you’re looking for a beach hotel this is definitely worth taking a trip to. We spent the day in the beach, the waters were very calm.

The hotel was a bit run down, could do with some refurbishment. The pool was not as clean as I would’ve like it to be.

Right on the beach, lovely rooms.

location is right on the beach with easy access to Pigeon Island. Nilaveli is quite sleepy. Rooms are lovely and spacious and bed super comfortable.

dining room was a bit impersonal and could do with a bit of atmosphere, especially the lighting.

Could be better

The location is perfect with a kind of private beach, rooms are very big and beds super comfortable. Pool and garden is very nice. This hotel could be a resort, however we have paid much more less in SL and received better services. Having said this I have to be honest and tell that this hotel is in need of lots of maintenance.

Walking around you will find rusty stairs banisters, bins etc and a dusty lobby and an abandoned dark bar. In the room you will find some mould marks on the ceiling plus in the bathroom ceiling and very rusty taps/shower head. In the evening we went to the bar and asked if they serve breakfast, we have been told breakfast was from 8/10 am , they showed us a menu and told that it was 1200 rp per person, we told them that we will be there in the morning. Next morning we came for it at 09:15 am to be told that they were running out of all items ( eggs, tea, bread and fruit? , the hotel was very empty) so we ended up having an amazing breakfast next door for the same price.
