My wife and I stayed at Riff Hikkaduwa for 3 nights. The hotel is situated about a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride from Hikkaduwa town but is easily accessible. The hotel is clean and staff are very nice. The room we stayed in was spacious and well equipped overlooking the beach, which was stunning. The food is tasty with multiple options available for breakfast and dinner. The pool has a lovely view out towards the beach. My wife also enjoyed a back massage at the spa. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

"Amazing location, peaceful views, cool design. Rooms are tired, time to renew them. The staff is super friendly, but some rules make the service are a bit inconvenient (like three restaurants, all of them opening at 7pm! Open one at 5pm, for families, since there are three of them!)"
