The Beach House by Reveal

Great ! We simply loved it. Its a private beach house with just 6 rooms. They have a caretaker whos there till night and will attend to anything that you need. There's a cook who's there from morning til dinner and will cook anything personalised. I specially loved the fact that my wife being vegetarian had no issues with the meals there. Its not for people wanting to get a hotel like experience, its more of a secluded personalised feel. You will get everything basic that you get in a hotel like toiletries etc etc but dont expect lots of staff/room service/spa that you get in a big hotel.

Nicely designed and great location, our two nights ended up being quite comfortable and wonderful given that we had the beach to ourselves--had the price reflected the actual condition and quality. Clean, friendly but not well trained or empowered staff, great breakfast but Sri Lankan option was not available without special request. Bed was very comfortable, room was nice, hard finding outlets, very slow internet, the whole place needed attention and repair. For instance, the view out to the water was hampered by a sand barrier, understandable given the seas, but it was littered with the remnants of plastic bags. Certainly not luxury standard. Massage at the spa in the sister hotel next door was expertly performed but massage room was unpleasant, no towels, no ambience. Plus, drinks and add-ons were priced at luxury hotel standards, not what this was. Too bad, it was a special location, just needs someone to care about the quality.

We had one of the best weekends at the Beach House being spoilt and pampered with some amazing culinary delights by Chef Dilruk and his team. The food was amazing! The service standards are also exceptional. The pool, beach, and comfort within the BH made it just perfect. Well done!

We had the last 3 nights of our Sri Lanka adventure here including our 25th wedding anniversary - what a location and how well looked after we were. With just 6 rooms this place is fantastic. the room was beautiful and overlooked the pool and beach, the staff were friendly and so attentive. Each night there was a baby turtle release on the beach which everyone in residence was encouraged to join and take part in. Our dinner on the beach for our anniversary was superb - a stay and a night we will never forget.

This place is so comfortable. All clean,all food was delicious and all the staff so gentle and patient with us and all of our requests. Always with the smile and even so kind with our baby. Can’t wait to return here🫶🏽 Thank you thank you thank you.

We were the latest victims to have stayed at this nightmare of a Villa escaping the place yesterday with nothing but the worst memories. Our nightmare began on day one as we entered a baking hot living area with poor ventilation and a greenhouse like enclosure, with no fans running and staff not prepared to accept us at the door. We were introduced to the staff on duty much later who were not able to communicate a word of English who just kept smiling and grinning - possibly to welcome us to the horrors within. When we inquired on the Chef - we were told he would come by later during meal times to prepare our meals. Like any guest, our first attention drew to the pool - which we wanted to get in - soon as possible; however, the less than usual sized and debris collected from several days were floating on the surface. The Buffalos on the way had better mud pools than the ‘Reveal’ villa pool. We were also informed the sea in front is too rough for any swimming, Mirrissa beach proper was 3.5 km away, and not a walk along the beach. There was also neighboring illegal construction on the beach with x2 excavators digging deep into the sand - which affected the Lantern more than this beach house. Pool attended turned up 1 hour later and blamed all the debris has collected after he cleaned the damn thing before lunch - Hell of a story! We were given the option to go across to Lantern hotel pool. Even with the emerging horror, we continued to check-in and choose the rooms for our group of 9 guests. After climatizing ourselves to a Sahara Desert like living area, our friends turned up and checked into their room - to realize Wi-Fi does not reach their room. I double checked to see we were in a similar situation…. We had to beg ‘the butler’ several times to keep the fans running and sliding doors to the beach open to cool down the living area as they kept shutting the doors and turning the fans off. Which may be returning the villa to its regular state. At other villas along the coast - we would have been offered tea at tea time, but not at Reveal! Our butler offered us the set dinner menu which had a ‘Or’ missing for desert options; we were told everyone got everything for desert described x2 lines (see image) so there was no real option - we took x9 of those. 2 hours later, after everyone had dispersed, we were informed by the ‘butler’ that someone had omitted the ‘Or’ and combined the two lines. We noticed an odd ‘Or’ at the end of the mains on the menu - as if a dinner item has been omitted from the previous guests… The rooms were well decorated; however, the previous guests have run down the fittings - possibly drunk. Around 7pm the one and only ‘butler’ had to leave for dinner leaving us to take care of ourselves at this ‘lovely’ villa.
