“Great place to stay”
Location on the beachfront was magical. Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and comfy. Onsite restaurant fantastic. Boutique hotel meaning pool was quiet. Deck chairs on the beach. Owners lovely and caring for their business, staff and customers.

Booking made a mistake, but the staff of Smeralda kindly and patiently came up with a solution. We ended up stayinga at the sister property Casa Smeralda, which is more suitable for families in my opinion. The rooms were spacious and well thought out. Good location on a quiet beach and if you'd like to visit Hikkaduwa as well.

We booked Smeralda resorts at the last minute after Dickwella resorts and spa canceled our stay due to renovation works. It ended up being a blessing. We truly enjoyed our stay at the Smeralda annex. The staff is very nice. Pizzas are delicious, and we tried several types of breakfast, which were all amazing. They include capuccino or other coffee. The beach is great for kids. It is also a short walk to Turtle Beach. It was not busy in August. Wifi was good. Room was cleaned on a daily basis.

We stayed at Casa Smeralda for two nights and it was a wonderful experience. The place is amazing—right on the beach, everything was clean and well-kept, and above all, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. We also had the chance to meet the owner and his wife, a lovely Italian couple who were always around making sure everything was just right. Breakfast was delicious, especially the pancakes and scrambled egg toast. The pizzas were also amazing. We’ll definitely come back. We were really sad to leave.

“Great location, AMAZING staff”
Smeralda Beach Hotel is situated on a quiet stretch of Dikwella beach, a short tuktuk ride away from the popular surf town Hiriketiya. It’s easily accessible and has great facilities, the property is well kept and the pool is great. The thing that really makes this property however, is the staff. Never have I met a friendlier bunch of people, always greeting you with huge smiles and waves and genuinely happy to see you and converse. I would like to give a special shoutout especially to Nethmina, his attentiveness, kindness and overall determination to provide amazing service went above and beyond anything we expected. This combined with the properties location, food and amenities made this stay brilliant. Thank you Smeralda and thank you Nethmina! We will definitely return!

“Really lovely small hotel with great food and team.”
A lovely hotel which is enhanced by the fabulous staff. Felt very safe and relaxed here. All rooms have lovely sea view. Great breakfast (especially the Sri Lankan). Hotel team all on hand to help organise anything you needed from a vehicle to laundry and currency.
