Rooms are very nice and quiet location. Friendly staff
The rooftop is nice but the transparent roof made it practically into a greenhouse, super hot, completely nonsense because the view is amazing and it looks nice. Also not a single fan was working and the coffee machine too (probably they did not want to turn it on and clean it, we were the only hosts in low season). Without telling us the staff prepared us an English breakfast, which we (Italians) do not like at all. But staff was very friendly and ask what we wanted for the next breakfast.
We had a pleasant stay at Scenic Bay in Weligama. The hotel is in a great location, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. One thing we really appreciated was their help with our electric tuk tuk. They kindly assisted us in charging it and made sure we had everything we needed, which was especially helpful after a long day of driving. Their willingness to help made our stay much more convenient. The breakfast was enjoyable, and overall we had a comfortable experience. Thank you to the team for their kindness and hospitality.
We came to stay here with our friends, and it was actually my friend who recommended this hotel saying it was good. Honestly, it turned out even better than I expected. The cleanliness is excellent, everything was very well maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more comfortable. It is truly great value for money. Because of how much we enjoyed our stay, we decided to extend and stay here for two days. Highly recommended
My stay at Scenic Bay was very enjoyable. The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and always ready to help. The rooftop restaurant is a highlight with amazing views and tasty food. It’s just a short walk to the beach, We came with a group of friends, and upon our request, the hotel kindly arranged rooms close to each other. The staff were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We truly appreciated their kindness and had a great stay.
Good and tasty breakfast. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff. Good welcome drink.
Long waiting time for breakfast.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good and also the food at the restaurant.
The room had a partial sea view, as nearby buildings now obscure part of the water.
Amazing place. Clean and neat. Food was delicious and staff was very friendly and helpful
There is no lift (
Wir waren 6 Nächte dort. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen!! Das Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich! Es gab eine Rooftop Bar/Cafè (mit guter Musik) in dem wir jeden Morgen gefrühstückt haben. Es gab eine sehr gute Auswahl an a la carte Frühstück und sehr guten Kaffee. Man konnte auch Mittag- bzw Abendessen dort. Auch das war sehr lecker (von Burger bis Bowls). Die Köche haben sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben! Der Ausblick von dort war Wahnsinn, weil man so hoch oben war. Es wurde jeden Tag das Zimmer sauber gemacht und wir haben jeder eine neue Flasche Wasser erhalten. Sehr gute Klimaanlage und sehr geräumiges Zimmer und großes, sehr sauberes Bad mit Regendusche. Bequemes Bett, TV und Safe vorhanden. Das Hotel ist insgesamt ein wenig versteckt, dadurch aber in ruhiger Lage. Zwar fanden wir Weligama an sich weniger spannend,aber man ist dort gut gelegen um viele Orte und Strände zu besuchen. Wir würden wieder kommen! :)
Das Zimmer hat hohe Decken und große Fenster zum Balkon die so sauber waren dass man dachte die Fenster seien offen. Insgesamt war alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Von der Oberen Etage kann man auch das Meer durch Häuser/Bäume erkennen. Das Roof Top Restaurant serviert sehr kreativ gestaltete Speisen und die junge Crew ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Der Cappuccino ist der beste den wir in Sri Lanka bekommen haben.
Ein Aufzug wäre nicht schlecht und wenn im Café die Stühle bewegt werden hört man es in den Zimmern darunter sehr deutlich
The staff were very friendly and cooperative. The location is prime. The room was clean and well maintained.
The staff was bit short handed as they worked at the restaurant and the reception so sometimes empty and head to go to the rooftop restaurant for requests. Besides that everything is worth recommending.
Das Personal war sehr nett, es gab frische Handtücher und mein Zimmer wurde jeden Tag gereinigt. Wasser, Tee und Kaffee wurde kostenlos bereitgestellt.
Das Essen auf der Terrasse sah sehr gut aus, es hat aber nicht so gut geschmeckt. Das Brot war öfter weich und wabbelig. Die Ausstattung in meinem Zimmer war sehr heruntergekommen und abgenutzt . Die Lage ist nicht ganz so optimal, man geht schon 20 Minuten bis zum Strand/Einkaufsladen.
We loved this place! The rooms were clean and modern, the staff was great and the rooftop with breakfast is really good. Had some vegan options as well.
The wifi didn’t work great on some floors
Very nice hotel, amazing food, facilites, everything.
Location is 20min walk to the beach.
Sehr nettes Personal, tolles Rooftoprestaurant, schöne Zimmer, sehr sauber, ruhige Lage, allerdings 10 Minuten vom Zentrum entfernt.
Great stay - great location, spacious, amenities and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast and views were amazing!
The roof top bar/ restaurant was very good and the staff too
Location of property was not as stated. No one on reception on arrival lots of stairs . To be fair the bathroom was really good Beds were Very Hard. Kettle had no plug socket no explanation regarding meal times lots of young persons work but the chef was very very good
Очень чистый и комфортный отель. Персонал вежливый, уборка качественная. Есть все необходимое. Завтраки очень красивые, разнообразные и вкусные. Терраса с видом на океан, обдувается вентиляторами, поэтому комфортно в любое время дня. Отель стоит в отдалении от шумных дорог, поэтому комфортно и тихо.
Очень долгое ожидание завтраков. В среднем нужно закладывать час от момента прихода в кафе.
I was looking forward to staying here because the reviews were good.. unfortunately I was with a group and they refused to stay, so we cancelled. The rooms looked nice and comfy.
There is an extremely strong, horrible air freshener smell pervading the whole building. I wouldn't be able to sleep unless I was able to get rid of it. The area is less than salubrious, down a narrow back street, and there's not much of a view even from the roof.
Very nice breakfast. One of the best what we got in Sri Lanka. Restaurant is also good for a dinner. Friendly staff.
Proper clean rooms, with soft pillows and normal duvet, what is very rare in Srilanka according to our experience. As well as towels were in good condition. Very nice menu for breakfast, but if you would like to have proper coffee, this is for additional payment.
Everything
No lift
Lovely breakfast but you do have to wait at least 30 mins for it. They cook for each individual. Lovely roof top terrace.
The area around the building is a bit run down.
Very beautiful rooftop bar/restaurant and clean nice rooms. Staff was very friendly and quickly helped, when our safe wasn't working.
The hotel isn't in the nicest area of town.
Location and parking for Tuk Tuk
Cockroach in bathroom
המקום מהמם נוח נקי חדר גדול ומרווח מים חמים במקלחת המסעדה למעלה ממש טעים
רחוק
Очень тихо и комфортно. Спать приятно! Изначально ожидали, что номер будет побольше (как на фото). В моменте разочаровались когда увидели номер. Меньше ожидаемого, темная ванная комната (света мало для такого цвета стен), кровать собрана из досок. Просто ужас! Но после стадии отрицания и первой ночевки начали рассматривать номер детальнее и сменили вое мнение. Хороший отель, отзывчивы персонал, уборка практически ежедневно, очень вкусные и красивые завтраки, тишина (чего нет в центре береговой линии на Велигаме). Оказалось на жесткой кровати нам спится комфортнее. Также есть крытый гараж для авто и байков, на входе можно обмыть ноги от песка. Отель стоит в удалении от центра пляжа, но Тук-тук или байк решает этот вопрос. При раннем выезде нам с вечера приготовили завтрак (сэндвичи и вареные яйца). Это было очень приятно. Приятный и комфортный балкончик с видом на соседний отель (лучше чем с видом на школу, которая шумит с утра). В общем от отеля впечатления положительные.
Мало света в ванной комнате. Не хватало розеток у кровати. Завтраки только с 8:30. Было бы отлично если бы завтраки начинались с 7:30. Нет лифта.
Breakfast and kind staff
Rooms were not cleaned till 4pm
The breakfast is really good - rooftop bar looks nice and you can select the food of a given breakfast menu. It‘s always fresh and hot, tasty and looking great. The area in weligama is nice - though you need to at least walk for 15 minutes to get to the „center“ and nice beach.
Although tea and some coffee is included, americano and cappuccino needs to be ordered and payed for 1100 lkr each including service charge. And although the breakfast tastes amazing and is fresh, waiting 45 minutes to an hour is really too long. The room was clean but a bit old. The bathroom was super dark and didn‘t smell too fresh. We exchanged the towels as they were not smelling fresh and the new set didn‘t either. We got rid of the floor towel which freshened up the smell a bit. Also when cleaning the room, they folded the used and damp towels so they weren‘t fully dry in the evening which worsened the smell and we didn‘t know whose towel was whose anymore. We had the room directly next to the reception which was at some times a bit noisy - but not any problem during night time. The balcony was looking directly at a little construction site where people were working all day, so we had our curtains closed during most of our stay … All in all it didn‘t meet the expectations we had after reading all the amazing reviews but with minor improvements the stay would have been much better.
Likte takcafeen veldig godt! God mat, hyggelig personale og ikke noe problem å være der som solo-reisende. Fint å kunne velge en rett fra frokostmenyen.
Rommene er noe slitt, men generelt er standarden grei til å være på Sri Lanka.
Rustig en schoon
Niet alles op de kaart was beschikbaar in het restaurant
Расположение хорошее, рядом рыбный рынок, где при готовят вкусную еду, из того что понравилось. Пляж не совсем чистый. Завтраки вкусные, но кофе не включён, за одтельную плату 1000 рупий сначала, со второго дня прибывания уже по 1100
Номер маленький, ванная тёмная, к раковине и зеркалу не поступиться, дверь хлипкая, слышимость из соседних номер отличная) батарейки в пульте от кондиционера сели, сдачи в кафе никогда нет, на Ресепшен тоже несколько раз напоминали что бы отдали сдачу.
Sauberkeit, Aussicht, Ausstattung der Zimmer, freundliches Personal, Rollerverleih vor Ort
Toilette nicht fest verschraubt, Frühstücksportionen hübsch aber viel zu klein. Frühstück dauerte sehr lange (ca.45min) bis es gebracht wurde.
Breakfast was nice, room was clean and comfortable
They said they offered a lot of activities but there was no information on it. We also asked 3 times for information on snorkeling (before we got there) but never received it
Staff was really nice ! Breakfast was very good as well.
The hotel is conveniently located (like 200m from the beach and 1KM from the main surf spots). The hotel staff were very kind and we found that the food served at the rooftop restaurant was delicious. The room was decently sized and clean.
The room had some weird defects, like doors that do not close properly and the toilet that randomly keeps flushing. Nothing major, but it was unexpected as this hotel is in the higher price segment compared to other Sri Lankan hotels.
Расположен в тихом месте, но до всего без проблем можно добраться пешком или дешево доехать на туктуке. Ближайший пляж из-за волн в первую очередь для серфинга. Неплохие и чистые номера. Удобная кровать. Вкусные и красивые завтраки. Хороший напор воды.
Брали специально номер с видом на море и он был на последнем этаже, но море видно почти не было. Двери в номер и ванну не закрывались плотно. Сейф крошечный.
Все было замечательно! Номер уютный, персонал приветливый, завтрак на крыше очень вкусный! Мой день рождения выпал на проживание в этом отеле, сотрудники поздравили за завтраком и украсили номер. Остались только положительные впечатления об этом прекрасном месте!
Excellent breakfast (best I’ve ever tried when free on hotel), big and nice room and very friendly staff. Nice bathroom as well.
Some of the facilities seemed a bit old and outdated, like doors, locks, tv and so on, but it was not something serious.
Breakfast is the best one of our trip 100%. The stuff at the hotel were super friendly and kind with us.
The breakfast is worth the stay alone!
Scenic Bay is the most amazing place I have stayed in sri lanka. Wonderful view from the room.Fast wi-Fi .Super Friendly Staff. Great location to the beach. I will definitely be going back an would highly recommended the stay.
Great location to be quite close to everything. Nice staff, lovely clean room with great airconditioning.Excellent breakfast. The hotel is exactly as shown in the photos.our stay was very pleasant. 😁😁😁
Spacious room with good size bathroom and clean room breakfast also Rich comfort and customer care when arrived they welcomed us with fresh juice speed internet connection. 10
By far the best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka! The shower had warm water, was very pleasant and clean, with comfortable and even a bar. The breakfast was excellent, and in the room we had tea, coffee, and water that was replenished daily. The finishing touches throughout the hotel were beautiful, What made our stay truly outstanding was the personal service: snorkeling, surfing, Laundry,and even a taxi were all arranged for us at very good prices. We couldn’t have wished for a better experience!Room view best
This was the most beautiful place I stayed at in Sri Lanka; the amenities and staff were excellent and very accommodating. I even extended my stay for an extra night. The proximity to the beach, breakfast, spaciousness, and exactness to the pictures made it exactly what I wanted. Really nice stay for an excellent price. Wi-fi is good
The rooms were big and clean. The pool was great. The staff were really helpful. We had laundry done while we were there, which was great. Location is good. Near the beach and only a short walk up to the main road. and I would recommend this hotel to any traveler looking for a quiet place with excellent facilities and a convenient location
Very nice hotel in a great location, just a few steps from the beach. The place is clean and comfortable, and the staff are incredibly nice and helpful. The breakfast is so good! A must try
Nothing
Lovely room and the cafe/restaurant absolutely makes it! Had some lovely meals especially the breakfast. The staff are also very nice.
Good rooms and a great cafe area.
Schöne Zimmer und Badezimmer, sauber, gute Lage (nahe zum Meer) und coole Rooftopbar
The hotel offers delicious breakfasts and dinners, served on the rooftop with an amazing view.
הצוות היה מאוד שירותי ונעים
If you are looking for good food, a quiet place to stay, nice people and a view this is the spot. Since the moment you arrive the kind staff will take care of you. The room is big, clean and the bed is comfortable. Staff is always available and super helpful. I enjoyed their breakfast in the rooftop, you can choose a different dish every morning and is freshly made. The dinner experience or a drink at sunset in the rooftop were amazing as well. Loved the French toast, the chocolate pancake, the chicken burger, the iced chocolate and the chicken wrap. Thank you for the lovely stay!
Nice to have: I would improve the lighting in the toilet.
Sehr leckeres Frühstück und das Hotel hat eine gute Lage. Zimmer etwas klein aber ausreichend.
We love this place! Was our best stay in whole Sri Lanka, breakfast is sooo delicious!! Rooms are clean, staff is nice, they help with everything. Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely everything about this place is fantastic. Great staff the best breakfasts and very comfortable rooms. I would like to say thank you so much to the team for making my partner's Birthday so special. They really went above and beyond and I am so grateful. If you are in Weligama you must stay at Scenic Bay Weligama.
Frühstück und Essen wird frisch zubereitet
Ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen
Rooftop cafe was brilliant, served a great breakfast with lots of options. Could walk to most places in Weligama. Clean room with good storage.
We arrived at midday but the room wasn’t ready until 14:15 (15 mins after check in). Very hard mattress.
Room, Location, Quietness, Staff,
Such a great location within walking distance of the beach, the staff were lovely and the roof terrace is so nice, as is the food and drinks!
Das Essen
Zimmer teilweise heruntergekommen. Beim Frühstück nur ein Kaffee aus der Maschine inkludiert, ansonsten müssen alle Getränke extra gezahlt werden!
I give 10 points to this property because of it's amazing staff and the rooftop bar. Everyone was so nice and helpful, the receiption girl (Warumi if I remember correctly) was just so welcoming. The same is all guys from the rooftop bar. They always smile and ready to make your stay nice. The rooftop cafe/bar is one of the most stylish ones in Weligama and try their passion cheesecake:)
The main minus is that coffee is not included in the breakfast (only instant coffee). The breakfast was amazing, always tasty, always designed like in high level restaurants. The only issue that you can't have a quick breakfast, it's a-la-carte, so you have some waiting time.
Breakfast
Heavy blankets
We had such a lovely stay, the rooms were clean and nice looking. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, we had to wait quite a long time around 40 minutes before breakfast was served. I received my meal first, but my partner then had to wait much longer before his breakfast arrived. This was a bit disappointing, especially in the morning.
The rooftop is very nice and the food is excellent, the only problem is that they take a very long time to make meals (e.g. we were the first at breakfast because we had an early surf lesson and they took 45 minutes to prepare our food).
Food at the rooftop bar was amazing!
Clean, good location
Ambiente pulito, di recente costruzione 10 minuti a piedi dalla spiaggia Colazione deliziosa ( non buffet ma alla carta) Personale disponibile
Manca l’ascensore ( giusto per scrivere qualcosa) La strada d’ingresso dovrebbe esseee un po’ rinnovata ( ma ricordo che meno di un mese c’è stato un tifone in Sri Lanka)🇱🇰
Good value for money, good location and very nice rooftop restaurant
Our room was very close to reception so a little loud but did not effect our sleep
Sehr schöne Aussicht von der tollen Dachterrasse, leckeres und ausgefallenes Frühstück Gemütliche Zimmer mit tollem Blick in den Djungel
Scenic Bay ist absolut empfehlenswert. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt hier sehr genossen. Das Hotel ist modern, stilvoll eingerichtet und bietet ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Die Zimmer sind großzügig, sauber und komfortabel – man fühlt sich direkt wohl. Das Frühstück sollte man auf jeden Fall dazubuchen, denn es ist für ein inkludiertes Frühstück wirklich sehr gut. Ein kleiner Hinweis: Die Zubereitung dauert länger, besonders wenn man früh unterwegs sein möchte. Wir waren immer direkt um 08:30 Uhr da und mussten länger warten. Vielleicht wäre ein etwas früherer Start fürs Frühstück ideal – die Qualität war jedoch sehr gut. Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb, ist aber mit dem Tuk-Tuk oder Scooter schnell und unkompliziert erreichbar. Das WLAN war während unseres Aufenthalts nicht immer stabil, was für uns jedoch kein großes Problem war, da wir ausreichend mobiles Datenvolumen hatten. Insgesamt hatten wir einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt und können das Scenic Bay für einen entspannten Aufenthalt definitiv weiterempfehlen. Sie Bilder vom Zimmer entsprechen den Fotos auf booking. :-)
Best Breakfast Ever
Nice, clean, nice staff helps, showers very good
The bed is not so comfortable
Das Hotel hat eine schöne Lage, mit einigen familiären Restaurants in der Umgebung, gutes westliches Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse
Very clean and beautiful! The staff is extremely friendly Awesome breakfast!
Really enjoyed our stay here and was excellent value - the room was exactly as pictured and was clean. The staff were also very attentive too (especially Waruni) and looked to go that extra step to make you enjoy your stay. The breakfast on the rooftop restaurat was also fantastic, although catered more for western breakfast options rather than local food options. As the hotel is set back from the main road it is also very quiet.
Whilst the hotel is only a couple minutes walk away from the beach, the closest part of the beach was not suitable as a beach (i.e. no beach bank) - and had no nearby facilities - the area of the beach that has more food and drink options, as well as surf rental is located approximately a 15 minute walk away. Additionally, the wifi was a bit hit or miss in the room.
