The room was really big so it was not so hot like when you rent smaller rooms. There’s also an A/C and a fan. I was working remotely and it was super comfortable, as you get a table and lots of stave around. Though it’s near the main road, it is quite. Clean, friendly stuff and nice kitchen that you can use. Near the hostel you get a big supermarket and also cafes near the beach.

It was a fantastic experience staying in Sunset Cabana! You feel welcome from the first moment on. The whole family is very nice and helpful but especially the lady of the house is truly a sunshine. Not only the real sri lankan food she prepares is delicious but also the travel information she gives you, her helping hand in whatever you need, personal advice and talks. The rooms are very clean, the bed comfortable and the view from the terrace is amazing. If there was a rank of 20, we would definetely give it!! Petra & Xavi

Beautiful, large room right next to the beach. With a balcony overlooking the sea. We kept our doors a little open so the seabreeze and soothing sound of the waves crashing comforted us to sleep. The owner is a very chill and nice person, willing to help you with planning trips etc. The food in the restaurant is amazing! We had a very wonderful stay 🫶🏻

Wow. I don’t even know where to start! The rooms were very comfortable, with a mosquito net and a powerful fan to keep us cool at night. It was right on the ocean so we were able to sit on our balcony or on one of the lounges and enjoy the gorgeous views of the ocean and the amazing sunsets every day. The best past was the hospitality. Shehan was such an incredible host, he was super accommodating, organising airport transfer from Colombo, taking us to a local temple, teaching us so much of his culture and customs, playing a local game called Carum with us and going out of his way at every opportunity to make it the most amazing experience. He even showed us to two baby turtles that had hatched below the property and we had the magical experience of releasing them that night. The food was top notch, local Sri Lankan breakfasts and two delicious dinners overlooking the beautiful ocean. Truly one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. I highly recommend.

This is a place for a great experience of being literally in front of the sea, chilling out with a drink while lingering on a confortable bean bag , watching amaizing sunset , having nice meals freshly prepared. If I 'll come back to Sri Lanka again I'll definetly come back to this place but having a private room this time, the dorm could be a bit uncomfortable since have not windows which make it quite hot and hummid.
