“Exceptional Chef ..Nice Location..Dirty Pool”

The property is on a wild beach walking distance to village which we enjoyed walking through paddy fields chatting to local people it is off the beaten track and we loved the location. It is about 35 mins drive to yala main gate which is fine for safaris .The property has a lot of potential but needs attention .. being unable to swim in the pool is not good it was green and cloudy and got worse as the days went on . We stayed 3 nights .. didn’t use pool which was a shame .. big shout out to the chef . He went above and beyond he is kind and helpful and his food is excellent .. he really was exceptional

We had an amazing stay at Nikara. It’s in a beautiful setting - right on the beach and there is a lovely garden that surrounds the hotel grounds. It is secluded, but so nice and quiet because of that. Our highlight was the staff. They are all so friendly and hospitable, especially Kan Chan. The food was also the best we have had in Sri Lanka on our three week trip so far. The rooms have are lovely. We changed rooms to the bottom floor on our last night but probably preferred the balcony top level rooms. The bathroom was fine, and with a touch more ventilation it would match the high standard of the rest of the hotel. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and truly loved it!!

“Great location, clean good sized rooms and lovely people!”

Great location.. right on beach… really lovely helpful staff!

“Our stay was highly disappointing.”

The location was the only upside to the whole property.

“Amazing staff, super peaceful.”

The staff are wonderful , it is super relaxed and a pretty location. They have everything you need. Massage, pool and peace! Really close to the safari as well.

Simply amazing place to stay not only for 2 nights as we did as our goal was to go on Safari but I’d definitely stayed for another few days, miracle beach, service, so calm, authentic and truly re-charging.

“Highly recommend”

The amazing location and friendly staff who were always on hand and willing to help

Great stay! The place has a very good location—close to ocean. The staff were wonderful: friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. Overall, a very pleasant experience!

Quiet environment in a closed area with a swimming pool and access to the sea.

“Lovely property but disappointed about the private pool”

Lovely property. We especially liked the outdoor bathroom. Good location to walk to the beach. Host was really helpful

“Tranquil , peaceful and beach front .”

We loved this place .. the beach is at the back so beautiful for walks .. ocean is a bit wild here so it was better to swim in the pool.. we would definitely stay again ..

“Remote but comfy stay”

Incredible location - feels really remote and off The beaten track. The property’s a beautiful villa style hotel with gorgeous pool set just off the beach. Given its location, it’s extremely well maintained and looks the part. The food was delicious and the serenity was just what we needed.

Wow, what a beauty place, absolute paradise. The staff were amazing, the food delicious and the atmosphere so chilled. A perfect place to unwind.

“Bliss by the Beach”

LOVED the proximity to the beach. The food is OUTSTANDING! Especially the coconut chilli samba, but EVERY dish was fantastic! Very big comfy beds. Lovely pool. Very peaceful, well-kept gardens too.

“Nice”

Our stay at Nikara was wonderful! We had the Villa and it was so peaceful. The staff is great, everyone is so kind and tries to fulfill all wishes. The experience was special due to the personalized attention on site – every evening featured Sri Lankan seafood dishes and every Morning traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. The accomodation offers some activities like Safari or visiting nearby Temples via TukTuk. Our Highlight was the Massage on the Beach during Rain under a roof- we can highly recommend! There Are some negative recensions here we can‘t really understand („sadly“ no parrot :) ). We would definetly come again, thanks for having us!
