Happy & Green

The staff was very courteous, helpful and cheerful. The room was quite spacious. They were very generous with the towels and drinking water. The breakfast spread was really elaborate. We got to try different Sri Lankan delicacies. I'm glad that we chose to go at the end of March because there were hardly any mosquitoes around.

What a fantastic place. Such good value for money.

I’m so pleased that we came to stay at Happy Man. The rooms are huge with a lovely outdoor bathroom. We so enjoyed showering and listening to the birds at the same time. The swimming pool is beautifully kept with comfortable sunbeds and shade available. Excellent choice of dishes on the menu. Eastern and Western food. We went to visit the beach one day and the fantastic Turtle Conservation Centre. The accommodation organised the transport for this local trip and provided it for free. I asked whether wine was available and they kindly sent someone out to buy us some. Just an amazing set up and service for such a reasonable price.

Happy staff at Happy Man Village

Amazing service from happy staff. Although we stayed for only one day, we enjoyed the hotel and a perfect massage at the premises. The portions at the restaurant were huge. The hotel also arranged for us a nice river safari.

Happy Man Village is an absolute dream stay. The breakfasts are incredibly delicious and thoughtfully prepared, the spaces are wonderfully open and spacious, and the rooms feel truly authentic, full of character and comfort. What makes this place unforgettable, though, is the people. The staff are genuinely the best you could ever ask for: kind, attentive, and always smiling. A very special thank you to Sulalitha, whose warmth, care, and attention made our stay feel personal and heartfelt. Happy Man Village isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a place that stays with you.

The villas were comfortable and the food was quite nice. There was aircon and a fan in each villa and an outside loo and toilet making the most of the natural surrounds

Absolutely Fantastic! ♡

Great location! We loved that it was quiet and you hear the animals♡ the outdoor bathroom was fantastic! Staff was very helpful when we needed a doctor for our son because of an ear infection and cared for us. Arranged his favorite yoghurt♡ arranged a tuktuk driver so i could go shopping with my daughter. They are absolutely amazing. Good size swimming pool and not crowdy at all. Big breakfast. I would definitely come back to this place♡

Happy as.

This small resort gave our family the pleasant stay I expected and was our base to explore the Bentota river. We went with Bentota river Safari's STT and it was easily one of the highlights of our families 13 day tour. Away from the main road it provides a tranquil place to relax & take a dip in the pool. Our hostess was very welcoming and the breakfast was generous and delicious.
