Parasol Dole is a little slice of heaven. We had the ultimate relaxation time where we were able to switch off from everything. The accommodation is beautiful. We loved the room, which had bi-folding doors directly out to the pool area and beach. The pool was clean and refreshing. We spent the majority of our time on the beach, which felt private as we were usually the only ones on it. There are body boards to use at your leisure and we had so much fun body boarding in the waves for hours on end. There is an area further up the beach that frequently has turtles, so we had the opportunity to snorkel and saw several turtles close to shore. The staff were so generous and hospitable. They kindly organised us tuk tuks into town whenever we needed, which always arrived within 10 minutes of booking. Roshan particularly went out of his way to recommend things to do in the area and offered to drive us round the town for some sightseeing. We couldn’t fault the service. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The pancakes, omelettes and fruit platter were exceptionally good! Highly recommend this serene and stunning boutique hotel and we will definitely return on our next visit to Sri Linka!

We stayed here for 3 nights off-season and we really happy that we booked this hotel. Because it’s one of the few places that we really enjoyed in Weligam in May. Nice location , clean rooms and polite staff. Special thanks to owners Mr. and Mrs. Dias, they were very nice to us.

The family who owns the place is so nice- they have arranged everything from whale watching tour to tuktuk drive. The location of the hotel is great, rooms are comfortable and clean and have nice jungle view, you can watch monkeys playing on the trees from the balcony. We liked the hotel so much we reserved it also for our second stay in Mirissa.

The family are delightful. So helpful and kind. The bed is comfortable, the room a little small for us but with plenty of storage. Very close to the beach. As it is off season, many of the restaurants were not operating, however, it was very easy and cheap to get a tuk tuk to restaurants. During peak season. There are many beach front restaurants to choose from. We had a beautiful Sri lankan breakfast cooked by our host, and good coffee.

Very charming with all the nature around. The host was very friendly and catered to my gluten free needs for breakfast. Not far to walk to the beach. It is up a hill but very manageable to walk and felt safe at night. There are 2 yoga shalas on either side of the guest house. Monkeys and squirrels playing in the trees just outside.

Lovely small hotel with great hosts and staff. Stylish rooms, with best view towards the pool and beach. We even got to see some baby turtles being released to the ocean. The breakfast is really nice with all sorts of fruits, fresh pancakes and eggs however you like them. Located in quiet Batheegama, only a quick 10 min tuktuk ride to Hiriketiya.
