“The perfect beach stay”
Very kind owners. We had the standard room and it was perfect! Airconditioning works really well so is the hot water. The entrance to the beach is amazing! There are several sunbeds available and we were never without one. Would definitely come back!

“A Hidden Gem Exceptional Value and Unbeatable Location”
We had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic property, and we couldn't recommend it more highly. Its ease of access from Colombo immediately makes it a stress-free start to any getaway. The location is truly amazing. Situated just a quick five-minute walk from the back of the property, you are instantly on a gorgeous, pristine beach. This proximity alone makes the stay worthwhile for any beach lover. What truly sets this place apart is the incredible hospitality and value. The entire team, particularly the host, was welcoming, accommodating, and extremely attentive to all our needs. The staff were consistently helpful and polite, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere throughout our visit. For everything offered, this property represents genuinely great value for money. Finally, the food was a delightful surprise, offering a good variety of dishes that satisfied everyone in our group. If you're looking for an accessible, beautiful, and deeply welcoming place near the beach, look no further!

“Excellent value, and Great Location”
The hosts were very good and extremely attentive. Sajee, who served us breakfast , went out of his way to ensure we had everything we wanted. He suggested a typical Sri Lankan breakfast , which was delicious. Thanks, Sajee.. We had a room that was much bigger than expected with good air conditioning and plenty of cupboard space . Excellent value for money, and a wonderful beach just a few meters away. Everyone was so helpful. We would return if only to see the two delightful gardeners, who smile and .8ensure you are comfy, each time you visit the beach ⛱️

“Very bad”
I recently stayed at Sea Shells Cabana, and I am very disappointed with my experience. The room provided was completely different from the photos shown online, which is extremely misleading. The quality of the room was poor, and it did not meet basic expectations for cleanliness and comfort. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Extremely dissatisfied.

“We will never book this property again”
Upon our deep displeasure on rooms provided the staff arranged one deluxe triple room with an extra bed for all 4 of us. That room was ok.
