"The property is lovely - nice rooms, great shower - but the food is just okay. We had a great stay and the staff was very friendly. It is fairly easy to get into Tangalle itself from this property, though you will likely need to organize transportation because walking down the main road to get into town is a bit harrowing (a tuk tuk will be $1-2 USD each way). The downside to this property is that, while you can see the ocean from the "ocean view" rooms, the ocean is a bit far away, and there...

Top Maaliyadda Beach Hotel Reviews

Casa Smeralda

Casa Smeralda

10/10 Excellent
"We had an incredible stay at Casa Smerlda. The location of this hotel is perfect and so glad we did not stay directly in Hiriketya. It is a short 4 minute tuktuk right to Hiriketya beach with plenty of drivers outside and costs no more than 500 lkr/£1. Also a 20-25 minute walk along the beach or through the town. It is right on the peaceful dikwella beach which is less crowded and great for swimming. Surf schools right next door perfect for lessons and a quieter surf. Also, a 5 minute walk around the rocks is Turtle Point were you can swim with turtles. It is probably the best location to experience all of Dikwella/Hiriketya. The staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Ashar who served us our usual coffees at the bar in the mornings - great for sunrises. The rooms were very clean and modern. Overall we had a great stay."
