We loved our stay here so much! The pool was fantastic and rooms were clean, comfy and had everything we needed. The food was also amazing. The highlight for us was the staff, they were all so beautiful. The owners were the friendliest hotel owners we have met. And the elder man who served us dinner/ Brekky was the sweetest, taking so much care into our meals, our stay, etc. We couldn’t recommend this place enough, and will be staying again for our next trip to Madiha 🥰🥰

I spent three wonderful nights here and decided to extend my stay by two more nights because this place is simply perfect. The family who owns the property is extremely friendly and always willing to assist with anything you need. The location is ideal, as it is right on the beach, which is probably the best one I visited during my month in Sri Lanka. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and everyone around is friendly, making my stay even better. I hope to return in the future because it was a truly wonderful experience!

We had a great stay at the Ocean breeze hotel! everything was very authentic, clean and the staff is very friendly. It’s possible to have breakfast and dine here and everything is freshly made by the Amma of the house and tastes wonderful. They were very kind to our little daughter and the owner gave us a lift to our next destination. We can only recommend this place :-)

Fantastic time on superb location with most kind host family. It is situated just at the iconic Dondra Light house, next to the pleasant beach and has its own beach bar with hanging net over the water. Place is not hard to acces. The room is fresh and tasty, bed is comfy. Bathroom is clean, mine (upper apartment) had direct lighthouse view with amazing morning and evening parrot chirps. Room has beach and garden view. Hosts are heartwarmingly nice and will help you with every wish. They have cooked me delicious authentic Srilankan cuisine, breakfasts at the beach bar were unforgettable. Absolutely recommended and I wish I will come again.

It's a a beautiful place! We were looking for a well maitained, modern and clean space and this was all of the above. The room was designed with modern features and with love, as shown in little details like plants. I was allowed and aided with hanging my still wet laundry outside on the hosts' clothes line, they even gave me pins without asking. The aircon was great and as was the bathroom, leaving nothing to be desired. Everything was exceptionally clean. The beach is just across the street, a 1 minute walk. Breakfast was great. While we were waiting for transportation, they even gave us a coconut to pass time with. Very very lovely. Even though less known and traveled, Bathigama had the nicest beaches we came across in Sri Lanka and Crystal Villa is a lovely place to explore Bathigama and Dickwella. Would stay here again and recommend for everyone to do so.

Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
