"Beautiful property and the staff here is fantastic. It's a short walk to the beach and some small shops where you can buy snacks and drinks etc if needed. There are many restaurants on the beach to get lunch and dinner as well. They provide a nice breakfast and everyone is very kind and attentive especially Gayathri and Nazeem. Definitely had a good experience here and would recommend."

"We had such an amazing time staying at CBeyond Nilaveli. The hotel has the most beautiful location on a virgin, pristine beach, and the food was excellent, especially breakfast and dinner. The Sri Lankan fish for two was the best fish we’ve ever tried. The service was always so kind and helpful. Such a paradise."

"The room was clean, but the bathroom was not. The room was not cleaned during the week except once on request. Hence, the bathroom had an unpleasant odor. The shower door could not be closed. The whole building needs an uplift. Looks old, and not as attractive as the other hotels. Pool was good and clean. Staff were very obliging and helpful. Nothing was too hard for them."
