We were guests at Sumi and Mal’s home and we enjoyed it. They offer delicious breakfast, dinner and tea. I liked the garden with birds right in front of the balcony. Check out the craftwork Sumi makes herself. Location is great - close to the beach, close to a pharmacy, shop and some restaurants.

Offering a year-round outdoor pool and barbecue, Culture Resort is located in Matara. The hotel has a sun terrace and views of the sea, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. Free WiFi is featured and free private parking is available on site.

The hotel is close to ocean, Polhena beach is ver near. The view from the room is wonderful. We really enjoyed the balcony with an ocean view. The room is cosy, has air conditioner and mosquito net. The bed is comfortable. The staff was super friendly! As we didn't asked till what time is the breakfast, they provided it when we woke up. Even if it was after 11 o'clock. The breakfast is quite good. As for the surrounding, the area is quite, there are many cheap sea food restaurants ver near. I strongly recommend to visit the bar and live house The Doctors House, which is about 15 minutes walk from our hotel.

    This was an incredibly lovely and cozy resort right by the beach. The hotel's restaurant had excellent cold drinks, which we enjoyed a lot. Additionally, the resort is incredibly close to some charming restaurants and cafes such as The Doctors House, Swell Cafe, and more.

    I really enjoyed my time at Beach Inns Holiday Resort. The guesthouse is located beside a beautiful beach in a peaceful area away from the busy main road. The large seaside terrace is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery, with the palm trees offering welcome shade during the heat of the day. My room was clean and spacious and the management and staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

    We were really happy with our stay in Culture Resort. Initially we didn’t like the room given to us at first so the staff immediately offered us a different option which satisfied us. The host was helpful. The waiters at the restaurant were really attentive. The rooms were clean. The pool was refreshing. The view and sound of the ocean made our stay even more comforting. We would recommend this place!

    Very nice and simple house right at the end of Polhena Beach, with great sea view from the room. Although quite simply furnished, everything is very carefully maintained and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. And: you can watch Green Seaturtles from the garden in the afternoon and even swim with them in the morning! A very nice place, no luxury but a great nature experience!

    We ended up having the entire resort to ourselves as they are just beginning to reopen - the view of the water is beautiful. The pool was well maintained. Food was delicious and staff was exceptional at anything we needed.

    We only stayed here for one night during our tour of Sri Lanka but we wished we could have stayed for longer. The rooms are lovely, very tranquil and with pool view. The food was excellent and there was lots to do from and around the hotel. Specially The Madiha Surfing point. The only resort that is closest to Madiha surfing point is Nildiya beach resort. We want to thankful to the hotel staff, that they have made our stay very well.
