"Bungalow super sympa et atypique. La cuisine est très bonne et fraîche : tout est fait maison sur place. Seul petit manque, il n'y a pas de cocktails. La plage est juste devant les bungalows et pratiquement déserte, hormis quelques cours de surf. De jolies vagues pour s'amuser, avec des planches mises à disposition par l'hôtel. Le bémol : c'est un peu à distance des commerces, il faut prendre un tuk-tuk pour s'y rendre. Un conseil, utilisez l'application PickMe, sinon c'est plus cher — le...

"Booked this hotel through Expedia prior to my trip, when I landed in Colombo I received a text message from a French (+33) number saying that my booking at The Coconut would be cancelled, and that the prices I had booked were no longer valid! My only choices were to cancel the booking or pay the "new prices" which were 3x higher! I ended up saying I didn't want the booking and found other accommodations.

"There was a problem with our reservation as apparently hotels.com bookings do not transfer over to the hotels system and therefore they had no record of our booking. This meant that they did not have the rooms that we had booked available. The hotel owner/manager was very helpful in finding us different rooms but these were not what had been reserved and meant that we had to separate family members which was not ideal for a week. Other than that the breakfast was good, the rooms were clean and...

"This property had its pros and its cons.

Top Pottuvil Point Hotel Reviews

Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve

8/10 Good

"Positives Well maintained cabana styled facility in front of the Indian Ocean. Absolutely amazing staff. Beautifully laid out pool with fantastic views looking at evening sunset. Great food! Negatives Locals will definitely let you know you're a surrounded by Islamists. You will definitely not welcome to wear a bikini or any form of costume that is not acceptable to them in the beach. In the evening, penguin looking women stand in front of the pool for no apparent reason. No bacon in the menu. A Danish woman was sexually assaulted recently in the beach according to Locals. Potivil is a part of Sri Lanka! Our heroes liberated this area from Tamil Terrorists not to be taken over by Islamists! Sad."

Hotel Alaskabay Arugambay

8/10 Good

"Good hotel overall: good location, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. Areas for improvement: the sink and toilet could be cleaner, and the towels could smell fresher."

Harmony Beach Hotel

"Would recommend. Room was clean and large. Location excellent- on the main strip but property itself is quiet which was good. Friendly staff"
