Our room was lovely, the staff were very professional and helpful. The food was delicious with lots of choice. We had a massage with Mawan which was excellent. A special mention to Dhamanuke and to Madushanka.

Beautiful hotel right by the beach, with excellent service

This is a beautiful sanctuary directly behind the beach and completely hidden from the busy road nearby. The hotel is small and intimate, with exceptional service. The rooms are gorgeous and the staff couldn't have done more to make our stay special. The only regret is that the sea, so temptingly close, is not safe to swim in due to strong currents, but the beach is well worth a stroll down. The food was absolutely delicious.

Like having a private villa

Stunningly beautiful, and large comfortable rooms. I slept extremely well here. Everyone keeps themselves to themselves so it often feels like you have the place to yourself. Staff will do anything for you. I also had two exceptional massages and enjoyed the cookery lesson.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel in a fabulous beachside location with the most amazing staff.

Fabulous location on the beach, set back from the road and very quiet. The staff are fantastic - nothing was too much trouble and very attentive. Food was also excellent, although staying for a week it would have been nice to see a change in the menu…

Wonderful place to switch off

Amazing resort, with wonderful, big, green property next to the amazing beach. Garden is quite spacious, with the open view of the ocean and sunsets. Lounge chaies are spread around the gardens, so you can enjoy the conversations with your fellow guests, or choose the remote corners for the peace and tranquility and enjoying sound of waves on your own, or with your partner. The pool is very large, and never crowded, as this 10-room resort offers plenty of space to make you feel very comfortable. If resort is full, make sure to get the lounge chair early, but if you are not there all the time, you can finnd your stuff moved away by some rude guest. Beach so beautiful, as it breaks the monotony of the long beach with massive boulders right in front of resort. Rooms are very nice, but lower priced rooms are little bit smaller than expected. Nevertheless, the bathroom is wonderful and spacious and both are very well designed. One thing that is missing in those rooms is privacy of the balcony. Breakfast is wonderful starting with the fruit platter, bakery basket and then a-la-carte option, which is second to none, with local and international variety. Dinner menu is not huge, but with well chosen dishes and affordable. Definitely a place to visit again.

Kumu Beach is like being in paradise. Your eyes just won't get enough. The way the hotel is designed, combined with that stunning beach, rocks, and the pool are just incredible The staff is incredibly kind, from extra requests - such as breakfast on the go - to the chef coming to your table with dinner. The other guests were also very respectful and relax. This has been our favorite place in Sri Lanka.

Lovely place but we had to move out due to poor admin communication - would have liked to be there for two days

Everything although such a shock to see massive ugly development on the beautiful beach

Quiet place, amazing staff and very clean

Aesthetics and the view from the pool. Never too crowded as they host limited guests. Staff around for any help at all times. Free drinks in the evening. Staff was extremely cooperative and went beyond the usual to accommodate our needs. Almost everything you’ll eat is freshly cooked, including the chips, bread, jams.
