Sea Port Hiriketiya

Amazing location and friendly staff!

Perfect to walk straight from our room to the beach

Tout était parfait ! La vue depuis la chambre est juste exceptionnelle et magnifique, le balcon est grand et super agréable, la chambre également avec ses deux salles de bains. La famille est super gentille, et l'emplacement de la propriété est idéale, juste en face de la plage et à coté de plusieurs restaurants. Nous avons tout fait à pieds durant notre séjour à Hiriketiya ! Nous y retournerons sans hésitation.

The Sea Port Hiriketiya Hotel is an excellent place to stay, offering a perfect combination of comfort, cleanliness, and a great location. The hotel is just an opposite the beautiful Hiriketiya Beach, making it ideal for relaxing and enjoying the ocean. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The peaceful atmosphere and convenient location make it a wonderful choice for travelers looking to explore the area. Highly recommended for a relaxing beach getaway.

The stay was comfortable, the hotel was clean, and the location was excellent. Everything was well managed, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again.

Un très bon accueil pour ce logement qui était idéalement situé face à la mer avec une magnifique vue depuis la grande terrasse. C'est l'étage complet de la maison que nous avions pour nous seuls (chambre double deluxe) donc très agréable, tranquille et calme.

Il faudrait idéalement moderniser les 2 salles d'eau :)

Lage könnte nicht besser sein.Direkt am Meer.

Das die Sonne ☀️ so früh untergeht..grins....

It was amazing so close to the water literally open the gate and the beach was there. The couple at reception were lovely and helpful always attentive and present. The value for money was great. Would definitely recommend telling my friends to stay at sea port if going to the area. Wifi was great worked well. And the hot water worked well.

The room didn’t get cleaned daily or at all when we were there only downside, however I never asked so I’m sure they would have.

literally right across the road from the beach, close to all the shops & restaurants & the owners are super lovely:)

the street dogs can be pretty loud at night but pop some ear plugs in & you’ll be right hah

Unterkunft läuft über Sea Port Hiriketiya heißt aber WAVES Hiri! Alles TOP:Strand vor der Tür, Restaurants und Shops alles um die Ecke. Das Zimmer und Bad schlicht, sehr sauber, mit allem was man braucht: Bett, Tisch, Stuhl, Kühlschrank. Sehr großer Balkon mit Blick über die gesamte Bucht, einfach sensationell. Affenhorde zieht abends und morgens vorbei :-) Personal super freundlich.

Nichts zu bemängeln.

L'endroit (en face de la mer, restau autour) Le personnel très gentil Douche propre Lit confortable Clim et ventilateur P'tit frigo Bouteille d'eau a notre arrivée

Amazing!

Everything

Had a nice big room with huge bathroom and entrance to a great terrace and direct entrance to the beach. The outside shower was great after a dive in the sea. Very friendly owners.

Konumu direk okyanusa bakıyor ve her yere yakın

Beğenmediğim yanı yok gayet güzeldi ilgilenen hanfendi de çok tatlıydı

Aan het strand, mooie locatie. Schone kamer en erg vriendelijk personeel.

La posizione,di fronte alla spiaggia

-the hosts were very welcoming and warm -some issues were present but the host did everything to solve them successfully -internet is one of the fastest in the area -nice shared balcony space

-there is room for improvement as in all places but the host knows them and do her best to make it flawless

The location of this property is great. It’s right across from the beach 20 meters if that. Spacious room. Big bathroom. Facilities were clean. Comfortable bed. The hosts were so lovely and kind.

It got quite warm in the room, the fan wasn’t enough to keep cool at night whilst sleeping. Being so close to beach there is some noise from the road outside the room.

I had to change accommodation in Hirikiteya very late at night due to an issue with my previous place and the owner came from her home at midnight just to let me in. She was truly so kind and generous, not to mention the room and view on my balcony was stunning. You’re literally 10 seconds walk from the water and nearby cafes and restaurants. Can’t wait to come back already!

The location was great. Right across from the beach and the lady that welcomed us was lovely and helpful and she was so kind to the local dogs Two decent sized doubles worked well.

No one’s problem but it would’ve been great to have an upstairs room with a balcony. The room was soo hot and fans noisy but it is a hot time of year.

Excellent location and clean rooms

Perfect beach front location! Clean room with fridge. Asked for extra towels and bedding and was given them. Very accommodating host - allowed us until the evening to get cash to pay (thank you).

No air con or water in fridge. Bit noisy at night due to being in amongst restaurants and cafes. Also loud in the morning due to motorbikes.

The location is amazing, it’s right on the beach with surfboard hire out the front and close to all the bars and restaurants. I would definitely go back!!

Being beachfront is terrific. Try to get upstairs with view or downstairs with seaview. It is basic but good value.

No Aircon and can be noisy with street traffic

Location was amazing. The host was very friendly and helpful & room was very clean.

It would’ve been great for the holes above the windows & doors to have nets so mosquitoes can’t get in. The nets over the bed don’t touch the floor so the mozzys can still get in. But we really enjoyed our stay & would recommend:)

Imalka was a wonderful host

Beste Lage, extrem freundliche Besitzerin, sauberes Zimmer, gemütliche Betten

Die Zimmer sind zur Straße hin durch „Lüftungsschlitze“ nicht komplett abgeschlossen. Es war nachts so extrem laut durch Motorräder oder das Meeresrauschen, dass ich leider keine einzige Nacht durchschlafen konnte

Huge sea view bedroom with very large balcony, two double beds and two bathrooms. You can’t get closer to the beach. Lovely host who can organise anything and is always available :)

Vanaf de kamer loop je zo het strand op, de locatie is top!

Een airco was wel prettig geweest met het warme weer. Een van de ventilatoren was in de kamer ook kapot, maar nadat we dit hebben aangegeven is deze direct gemaakt!

Een fantastisch uitzicht op de baai, zo van de kamer het strand op.

Helaas zonder airco. Dat had het nog beter gemaakt!

The view was amazing right on the beach, with a perfect spot to watch people surf

First they didn’t mention about only cash policy until few hours prior to check-in. Our room was on the first floor and the management didn’t bother helping with our luggage at check-in or check-out (they literally dragged my suitcase down the stairs when asked for help during check-out). We booked for 2 nights and received absolutely no service, no water bottles on the second day, no toiletries, and no basic amenities despite the price charged. The Wi-Fi didn’t work, and there was a power cut for nearly 8 hours with no generator backup. When we asked to store our luggage at reception, they lied about not being available, left our bags outside, and even refused us the use of a washroom before leaving. This is basic hospitality, and for the amount we paid, the standards were unacceptable.

Amazing location - just 15 seconds to the beach. Comfy beds and good ceiling fans.

The room was quite noisy (we heard everyone talking around) and the facilities were basic.

die Lage ist grossartig! ansonsten einfach aber alles was man braucht. sehr liebes Personal, früherer Checkin war ohne Problem möglich, vielen Dank.

Echt de mooiste plek die je kunt hebben in Hiriketiya. Prachtig uitzicht , direct aan het strand wij hadden de kamer boven, echt perfect . Pas alleen op voor de spen haha. Grote schone kamers , 2 badkamers, fijne bedden. Dichtbij alle restaurants

Niets

Ubicación perfecta, los empleados amables y cercanos, dispuestos a ayudar y proporcionar las mejores recomendaciones de sitios que visitar y comer.

The view from Upstairs room a perfect 10 Best spot on the beach

The view

- Clean - Nice staff (really friendly owners) - Good view (of the beach) - Direct access to beach & surfboards across the road - NO mosquitoes!!

Nothing, we felt it was perfect value for money

Locatie is fantastisch, de accommodatie zit praktisch aan het strand met het terras, enkel gescheiden door een smalle weg. Fijne restaurantjes in de directe omgeving.

Location, location, location across the road from the beach. We had ground floor and could sit on the patio and watch the beach. Very convenient to everything!

No aircon but did have fans

No breakfast. Upstairs has a great view of the beach. We would have preferred that room had it been available.

Courtyard could do with smartening up.

The place was really good in front of the beach and immerse into the small town. The owner were very nice and accomodating. I would recommend this place.

The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond with all our requests during the stay. They were particularly flexible when we needed to check in late. We also asked for extra towels when going to the beach which was supplied quickly. The location is brilliant and a quick crossing of the road takes you to the cove. The air con worked well. Overall it seemed clean. They also supplied two bottles of bottled water which was appreciated. We also enjoyed having the balcony area to enjoy the views and relax.

It is a guest house so was basic. The bed was creaky but fairly comfortable. No tea/coffee making facilities although it seemed there was a communal kettle outside which we didn't use, and couldn't see any mugs. The main issues were the locks. The main door locked on the inside with two very stiff bolted locks and we really struggled to lock and unlock these. From the outside it was just a padlock to secure the room. The bathroom had a bar of soap and a single generic bottle of something - would have been nice to have some separate shampoo/body wash. Also there was a towel each, would've appreciated a smaller hand/face towel as well.

Amazing location, lovely staff and clean and nice rooms. Will definitely be back.

Location and good value for money

None

Right on the beach

A bigger sheet for sleeping in.

Everything. Location, cleanliness, beds and space, the view, all is stunning.

The only thing missing would be things like a bedside table next to the beds, or a tv, but these aren't big deals at all. There's plenty of surfers to watch!!

Amazing location, right on the beach. Spacious, clean room with fabulous balcony. The couple who run this place are so lovely! Definitely recommend a stay here.

Nothing.

This is the perfect location - the beach is right on your doorstep. We loved being able to duck to and from the beach to our accommodation. Very close to an atm and to plenty of restaurants. The hosts were really accommodating with our rental tuktuk as well which we really appreciated. The hosts also text me to let me know that I’d left a few items behind which was very considerate!

Mosquito nets didn’t touch the ground meaning they could fly in. Location on the main road was a bit noisy but this is expected given the great location. Everything else was perfect!

Fantastic big room right on the quiet end of the beach with views over the sea - perfect

Second time staying at Sea Port and once again we were not disappointed. Hiriketiya has gone through some changes in the past couple of years but Sea Port still remains the best place to stay. Right opposite the beach - perfect for sunrise swims and surfs before the waves get too busy. Run by the sweetest Sri Lankan couple who are on hand in person or via WhatsApp for anything you might need during your stay. We loved getting to know our hosts better this time and learning more about the history of the area. Value for money is amazing for the location, size of the rooms and hospitality. Sea Port will always be our first choice of accommodation in Hiriketiya and we hope to return again in the future.

The location was exactly what I was looking for—step out the gate, cross a small road, and you’re on the beach. I could grab my surfboard and hit the waves in seconds! My wife and I loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean each night—it was the perfect place to unwind. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The laundry service was quick, efficient, and reasonably priced. One small detail I missed in the terms was that payment is cash-only, which would have been more convenient with a card, but it wasn’t a big issue at all. The room was clean, the bathroom was good, and for the price, it’s great value for money. With restaurants, bars, and entertainment just next door, you won’t find a better location in Hiriketiya. Highly recommend—just go!

Good WiFi Large room

Animal poop in front of my room Stain on bedsheet Noisy due to lack of insulation

Great location on the beachfront. Great view of the sea. Beds were big and comfy.

The WiFi didn’t work very well

- very good wifi, by far our best in Sri Lanka - excellent location, a few steps from the beach - friendly and flexible staff - comfortable bed - nice shower - good price / value ratio

- noisy, given not fully isolated

Right on the beach, minutes away from local restaurants, bars and cafes. Very friendly and welcoming hosts and we were able to check in as soon as we arrived. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The bathroom was also very hygienic and clean with different shower options. There was a courtyard outside to enjoy the beach views even when it was raining. Our hosts were accomodating and helped us book a taxi to our next location.

Could hear people talking outside the room on the street and music, however this stopped around 9.30pm and it was quiet after this.

Spacious, clean room right over the road from the beach. The hosts are a friendly and helpful couple.

A beautiful bay which has definitely been discovered by the tourists

Everything was good except for the noise level at night , barking dogs all night. So take ear plugs and all will be well, Hiriketiya is beautiful but busy.

The room was big, 2 comfortable bads, 2 bathrooms, clean AC Amazing view and location

Location!! It’s literally beachfront.

Very close to the beach, nice staff.

Bit noisy in the evening and dark room.

Really good room with hot water, fridge, space, soap, comfy bed. But no windows to the outside...down a corridor. An added touch would be some tea and coffee to go with the jug and nice kitchen area.

Location

Awesome location, just off the beach!

Very clean, friendly staff, central location

Lots of traffic, dogs barking, pretty noisy as it’s on the main strip. I didn’t know it was in such a central location. So that’s my fault.

Amazing location, just across the road from the beach. Staff were very friendly and i was able to store my bag after check out so I could go exploring before puckef up for my neck destination. Loved having a fridge and kettle, although no cups or tea/coffee. Check into and check out was so easy and smooth.

No cups or tea/coffee to go with the kettle. I did find a grocery store just around the corner which sold tea bags. I already had my own cup I had travelled with.

Very nice couple running this place, super helpful and kind. The room was for 4 people but we were 2 so it was very comfortable but the highlight was the balcony, this place is 10 steps from the sea. We watched all day the surfers and knew when there are good waves. Lots of restaurants and bars all around. This place is all about the location!

Can be a bit noisy in the mornings, relatively to other places there but that’s the price for being so close to the beach.

The apartment is located directly in front of Hiriketiya Beach. The Hosts are both amazing and were very helpful throughout the stal. I even extended my stay and would book it again for sure. Just for info - it can get a little bit busy/noisey at night because of parties in the neighborhood. I didn't mind at all, especially because they never went on for too long and the location of the accommodation really is incredible.

Very nice place, right on the surfing spot.

It is clean, amazing location, comfy… however, our room had holes in the walls :D literally, above the front door and above the toilet seat. And I mean big rectangle holes where a smaller window should be. Anything could get in and out of the room. That was scary, it’s Sri Lanka, there’s a lot of weird creatures. I have no idea what that is about, it’s bizarre. Ask for a room without holes, trust me.

The holes in the walls :/

The location was absolutely incredible. You literally walk out of your door on to the beach. However was quiet in the evening we could only hear the waves. The hosts were great, they did some very fairly priced laundry for us and recommended a great restaurant. They were also very kind in letting us park our tuk tuk on their drive.

We had a fan room. It was too hot in April with just fans but this was totally our fault for not booking somewhere with AC! Could do with some toiletries in the bathroom!

This was a pleasure to stay at this place! Perfect location in the heart of Hiriketiya bay, right in front of the ocean, next to great cafes and restaraunts. You can hear the ocean from the room! The hosts are very very friendly and helpful! Besides, the rooms are big and incredibly clean! Thank you for great experience!

Great experience!!
