We had an excellent three-night stay at Riff Hikkaduwa. The staff were very attentive and always greeted us with a smile. The food was exceptional, with a wide variety of options to suit all culinary tastes. The rooftop bar and, in particular, the Japanese restaurant are a feather in the hotel’s cap.

Excellent hotel, we have been to many places and have something to compare with. Breakfasts are great, you choose from the menu and it was included in our stay. Rooms with a beautiful view of the ocean, pool, spa with excellent massage (you need to book a day in advance). There is a Japanese restaurant on the roof with a gorgeous view. Live music from Wednesday to Sunday! We highly recommend this hotel. Friendly and attentive staff. Internet WiFi worked great. The beach is private, sun loungers and towels are provided by the hotel for free, there are waves like almost everywhere in Sri Lanka with small children it may not be very comfortable to swim.

We stayed at Riff for five nights in February after a week of touring Srilanka. It was a great stay! All the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Hotel is really beautiful and the views from the rooms are stunning. Food was great, really diverse choice for breakfast. Not a buffet stile but I loved it even more. I tried different things every day, and everything was yummy. We had lunch by the pool every day. Also had dinner at Japanese restaurant on the top floor twice and it was delicious. Best thing was a beautiful infinity pool, chairs on the beach ( you can always find a spot ) and a gorgeous white sand beach. Waves in front of the hotel were too big for swimming in the sea but I could have watched them whole day :) you can swim just few minutes walk down the beach. And it is a great place for surfing so we tried that also. There are lots of restaurants on the beach also great food. And great beach for morning run/walk. We even had a turtle come one night and laid eggs in front of the hotel. Thank you everyone at Riff for making this a memorable stay for our family. We loved it!

Hikkaduwa Riffs Hotel is a truly special place. Watching the sunset through the window or from the rooftop with live music, surrounded by warm smiles from friends and staff, creates a sense of peace and gratitude. I started with just wanting a cup of Basilur Tea, but the experience became so much more. Each morning here brings new hope for a happy day ahead. Grateful for such a wonderful place—highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and enjoy life to the fullest

We had a fantastic four-night stay in a double deluxe room with a sea view. The view of the ocean was amazing, and the room itself was spacious, spotlessly clean, and equipped with comfortable beds. They also provided an extra bed for my 8-year-old son at no additional charge. The minibar had a small fridge, and they offered free water in glass bottles, which were refilled in the morning and evening. There was a tea kettle with a selection of delicious teas from the Basilur brand, which was also complimentary. The friendly owner of the hotel also owns the tea company, which made it even more special. I was particularly impressed by the hotel's plastic-free policy. Even the trash bags were made of paper, which made me feel good about my consumption choices. We opted for full-board, and the food was delicious and varied, served à la carte. I would like to give a big compliment to the chef for consistently meeting all of our special requests. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our stay. The hotel also features a rooftop bar, which is particularly stunning during sunset hours. The view from up there is breathtaking, making it a perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Additionally, at the same location, there’s a Japanese restaurant that serves delicious sushi. We had the chance to try it, and it was a great dining experience—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A wonderful addition to our stay! The hotel has direct access to the beach, and the loungers by the pool and on the beach were comfortable. There were also plenty of umbrellas for shade. I especially enjoyed sitting by the pool with a natural shade refreshing King Coconut, gazing out at the sea. Trees provided shade, and the cool breeze made it a pleasant place to relax during the hot midday hours. The beach was clean, and compared to the rest of the southern coastline, the water was also quite clear. However, I believe this may change depending on the season. The sea directly in front of the hotel wasn't ideal for swimming due to strong currents, but we had fun jumping in the waves. About 2 km south, there’s a place called Dodanduwa Beach where you can safely enter the water, even with children. It's a great spot for beginner surfers to try standing on the board for the first time. If you're into snorkeling, you should definitely check out Hikkaduwa Beach, about 2 km north of the hotel. You can easily get there with a tuk-tuk for only 500 LKR. The water is crystal clear, and plenty of colorful fish can be admired. The only downside was the occasional boat traffic and the smell of kerosene, which could be a bit bothersome. The beach does offer natural shade, but since it’s public, there didn’t seem to be any regulations on the boats. The only thing that could have made this stay even more perfect would have been a makeup mirror with light in the bathroom, which would have been the cherry on top of an unforgettab

Just the best place to share sunset cocktails with friends. The roof top bar and sushi restaurant are fabulous . The tempura vegetables were great to share with drinks. Had dinner in the main restaurant twice but a little disappointing so will stick to cocktails upstairs

This hotel is one of the best we have stayed in and certainly the best we have stayed in during our 3 weeks in sri lanka. The service has been incredible throughout. The facilities are great and the hotel offers immediate access to the most beautiful golden beach with great waves to play in. The food is stunning. Would fully recommend this hotel.
