Golden Beach Cottages

The location was too good. Every food place was just a walk away on the beach. The diving centre was literally next to our cottage.The rooms are clean. Beach stay in an everything accessible location, go for it!

There's a sewage smell in the entire room! There might be a problem in the bathroom piping system, that made the entire room smell like a sewer tank. Also we booked two rooms and this issue is with only one room(it's on the extreme end). The sheets could be better.

Lovely location right on the beach!! lovely and friendly staff, great food and bar. Made my smoothies and food vegan as requested.

The bathrooms. The water had a weird smell and so did the bathroom. Also no hangers in the bathroom to hang your towel etc. No warm water. If they fix their bathrooms I’d rate this place even higher. Otherwise, lovely and friendly staff, great food and bar. Made my smoothies and food vegan as requested.

Its beachfront and close to the Uppuveli Street market. The rooms are big and comfortable and they provide water and fresh towel every day. You can litterally watch the sunrise from your window.

Mixed feelings about the staff: the lead receptionist and one of the guys working there were exceptional; however, the people working at the bar were ignoring you if you were right there standing to order a drink. Breakfast was OK, especially the last day when we were given Sri Lankan styke; however, we were disappointed by lunch, having to pay 15 euros each for some sort of salad and chips. If you walk to the end of the alley, there is a great place called Rice&curry where you can have outstanding food and seafood for a fraction of the price. Last but not least, acoustics is a bit weird and we could hear loud music until 2AM coming from Fernando bearch market every day. At 6AM the people from the PADI center would start talking loud in front of our door. I couldn't sleep a wink during our stay.

The location is right on the beach makes the stay worth it, we spent 2 days towards the end of the season so a lot of the property was being wrapped up due to which certain facilities were unavailable. The hotel staff on ground was quite accommodating as they allowed us to check out a little later due to water sports activities.

The lady staff at the reception was rude and refused to provide water bottles for the room. There were no change of towels provided, no cups in the rooms.
