Location, right there on the beach with their own restaurant and bar. We loved Blacky the dog. 🐕 Bed was firm yet comfortable. The staff were all so lovely!!!
No bar fridge or tv. I was happy just watching the surf and reading though. Would have liked a duvet and extra pillows on the bed.
Je recommande fortement cet établissement. C’est un sans fautes pour nous ! Les chambres sont très confortables et le cadre est agréable. La nourriture est délicieuse et le personnel aux petits soins. A seulement 10 minutes à pieds de turtle beach, nous avons pu y voir des tortues et des requins !
Die Lage am Strand. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Essen ist der Hammer, Daumen Hoch.
Die Sicht vom Balkon aufs Meer. Die Bedienung war genial. Das Frühstück sehr abwechslungsreich. Der Manager sehr gut. Der gute Preis.

Best place to stay in hikkaduwa, beautiful and fabulous staff, beach front, fabulous food, comfy bed
Nothing
The location is incredibly amazing, staff were very friendly.. I requested any kind gesture for my birthday and they decorated the bed in a very beautiful way.. I will always choose this villa and recommend it to everyone
Just the halal food options are little bit limited
What a beautiful little place right on the beach, staff were super friendly and helpful. Food was superb. The views were amazing from the room.
A mini fridge would have been good, just to keep water cold but nothing you can’t live without for a few days.
- the staff is the loveliest ever! They helped us in the restaurant to feed our sick baby and gave us everything to try. This is what I call service oriented - the location is so beautiful- nice walk possible, the beach is in front of your door and the food is outstanding. - the rooms are neat and nice and comfortable - we came with a toddler and they even provided sand toys. This was so lovely, we didn’t even ask for it and they provided it every time we came - I mentioned the food already but wow the food is really amazing! The kitchen staff deserves all the kudos. We booked breakfast included but we ate all 3 meals in Amaroo because the portions were generous and so extremely tasty. Very expat friendly spiced - but also authentic available upon request. Everything is available: vegetarian, halal, non-spicy, spicy- they made it all possible. - The vibe in this place is amazing - really I would come again and again. Great music, great people, socialising possible, but also peaceful and calm. - I know I’m repeating myself when I mention the staff again. But I’d book this place because the staff made us feel so comfortable and I would come for this feeling again. There are plenty beach places - but this one is really outstanding.
- nothing to mention, everything was amazing and anything we wanted they helped us with. - maybe the lights inside the rooms could be better- but not really affecting our stay
Die Unterkunft ist ein Traum. Sie ist direkt am Meer. Es gibt ein Restaurant - das Essen ist super lecker. Das Frühstück ist abwechslungsreich. Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Alle Mitarbeiter waren super freundlich und herzlich. Wir kommen wieder!
The most amazing people who work there, who are always so friendly, welcoming and helpful while excelling at their job. The rooms are beautifully designed and let you completely feel at home. The food at Amaroo’s restaurant is divine, you can see how much work got into every little detail on the menu. The Tuna Cevice is to die for and also the rest of the breakfast options are a great mix of local and international cuisine. Further, the cocktails are very well chosen and delicious. Also, the opportunity of being able to use the pool at the sister hotel is a fantastic option.
The only minor little thing I would change is to put more hooks in the bathroom for towels etc. and more cloak hangers. :)
Ubicación fantástica frente al mar. Habitaciones amplias con una decoración preciosa. Voy a echar mucho de menos esos desayunos a pie de playa con el sonido de las olas. Personal muy amable y siempre con una sonrisa.
Tener que irme😊
Mega locatie aan het strand, echte surfer vibes. Jonge en super behulpzame crew. We kregen een upgrade en waren sprakeloos van het uitzicht op het strand en de zee! De kamer heef alles wat je maar kan wensen, hadden er liever langer gebleven! Ook buiten het hotel heel veel te zien en doen met allerlei winkeltjes en restaurants. Topper!!!
I loved how accommodating and flexible Mel & Supun were. Great Hosts and I will definitely recommend this place to everyone who goes to Sri Lanka.
The location at Amaroo resort was great. The view from the room was amazing for the price we paid. Mel, Sapun and the staff were really lovely and helpful.
No bar fridge in the room and the water in the water cooler wasn’t very cold.
Die Lage direkt am Strand war einfach herrlich. Das Essen und das Personal war ebenso sehr freundlich und das Zimmer war sauber.
Die Lage ist unglaublich schön, man sitzt direkt am Meer. Am Strand entlang kommt man zum Turtle bay, wo wir baden konnten und Schildkröten sahen. Ein Stück weiter standen wir zwischen Rriffhaien. Frühstück ist reichlich und abwechslungsreich. Das Personal sehr nett. Absolut empfehlenswert
Zum Frühstück könnte es noch einen zweiten Kaffee geben... Aber es war OK so.
struttura fantastica, staff meraviglioso, ottima cucina, hotel letteralmente sulla spiaggia
Minden nagyon szuper volt.
Low key, friendly vibe. Attentive staff. The best cocktail list that delivers. Excellent food.
Nothing. An extra blanket and pillows be great.,
Location right on the beach with stunning views. Lovely, helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Beautiful room with great shower.
Beautiful place at a right place with nice cafe right on the beach. The view is amazing when you have sea view room.
The staff were fabulous. Great location right on the beach
My room was very basic. Half refurbished. Very few amenities.
The property was right by the beach so it was pretty convenient. The staff was also super friendly and helpful. The Sri Lankan breakfast which we had in the morning was just the perfect start to our day!
We really liked amaroo. It thinks it’s one of the best place you can stay in Hikkaduwa. It’s beachfront, amazing free breakfast and the other food at their restaurant is consistently very good too! Staff are also very nice.
The location was perfect right on the beach. The staff were really lovely! The food was really good! The deco was spot on!
Could of done with a fridge in the room.
Si trova direttamente sulla spiaggia, tutti i pasti dalla colazione alla cena si fanno praticamente in riva al all’oceano e in compagnia di un simpatico cagnolone nero! Abbiamo soggiornato solo due notti ma ci siamo trovati benissimo, personale gentile, accogliente e molto disponibile! Cibo eccellente, materia prima fresca e ben trattata! Consigliatissimo per chi passa da Hikkaduwa e vuole un pò di tranquillità e relax sulla spiaggia!
Lovely room- perfect for what I needed, the dining/beach area was fantastic! - amazing view and great vibes!
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like - the only thing that may have improved is something to prevent the bugs getting in on the ground floor rooms ( maybe a mosquito net)
Perfect location right on the beach. Great food, drinks, and staff. Very nice property.
Our room had an amazing sea view and it was spacious. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. The food & drinks were amazing. The best coffee we had in Sri Lanka & excellent poke bowl.
A small fridge in the room would be nice.
Super Hotel in toller Lage direkt am Meer. Besonders gut geeignet für digitales Arbeiten – ruhige Atmosphäre, angenehme Umgebung und gutes WLAN. Der direkte Zugang zum Meer macht den Aufenthalt zusätzlich besonders. Die Unterkunft war sauber, modern und insgesamt sehr entspannt.
Es gab nichts zu bemängeln.
Location is perfect. People are really friendly. Nice breakfast.
Beds were really hard. Lots of insects in the room. Food&Drinks at the beach bar are quiet pricey. Be aware that they charge a 10% service tax on top of everything. Very loud since we got the room nearest to the street.
Mega stylisches Hotel mit tollem Essen, leckeren Cocktails und einem traumhaften Zimmer mit unglaublicher Aussicht! Cooles Personal. Hatten dort eine schöne Zeit. Abends kann man im Ort gut feiern gehen - wenn man sich nicht an den ganzen schlecht gelaunten russischen Gästen stört. Wir haben unser Ding gemacht und hatten viel Spaß! Team Amaroo ist einfach super!
Nichts!
Direkte Strandlage mit Liegen und leckeres Frühstück
Leider keinen Kühlschrank im Zimmer
Everything! Super friendly staff, delicious complimentary breakfast (with different items everyday so you don't get sick of the same thing), great variety of food on the restaurant menu for lunch and dinner, spacious and clean room with a private balcony giving you amazing sunset views and last but not least the location being right on the beach was perfect for relaxing and enjoying Hikkaduwa beach all day.
Nothing.
Die Lage. Sehr zentral und direkt am Meer. Gutes Frühstück.
Die Zimmer sind teilweise etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Roomservice nur alle 3 Tage oder auf Nachfrage. Kein Kühlschrank und Teekocher auf dem Zimmer. Kein Handtuch für die Hände, gab es nur auf Nachfrage und auch nur eins😅 Das Bett war leider auch nicht das bequemste.
Cozy place in a perfect location and very friendly staff. Food is amazing too!
Very kind and helpful staff. The food was amazing, especially the breakfast. Very clean and beautiful setup. Very calm and relaxing place. We absolutely loved our stay here and highly recommend.
Loved everything about Amaroo. Stunning location with beautiful beach a few steps away… great restaurant, live music, wonderful staff and relaxing vibe.
O hotel tem uma atmosfera muito agradável. Uma numerosa equipe sempre pronta para atendimento. Quarto amplo com climatização adequada. O restaurante com muitas opções de pratos é bastante concorrido, e recebe muitas pessoas de outras hospedagens. Localização central com facilidade de máquina ATM, casa de câmbio, lojas e restaurantes.
Da orientação reduzida em relação às possibilidades de surf na região.
Proximity to food and beach were sensational
Location and staff
Rooms a/c was old and didn't work

Location at the beach was truly amazing! Very friendly staff and good food & drinks.
Wish they gave more than 1 option for breakfast
Det var så mysigt att vakna på morgonen och kunna kliva ut på terrassen för att äta frukost med en fantastisk utsikt. Stämningen var väldigt avkopplande på hotellet och de hade verkligen fått till ett snyggt genomgående tema på hotellet. En av dagarna åkte vi iväg mitt i natten på Safari och missade ordinarie frukost, för att lösa detta ordnade köket två stora fruktfat till oss som vi kunde hämta från kylen - det var väldigt fint att de gick ur sin väg och gjorde det lilla extra.
Det var ganska överflödigt med personal och när man ville kommunicera något eller ställa en enkel fråga så skulle hela styrkan engagera sig och höra/besvara det man sa. Detta var inget som påverkade vistelsen negativt, men det hade framstått mer proffsigt om kommunikationen var lättare.
Sehr gute Lage direkt am Strand und freundliches Personal.
Kein Kühlschrank und trockene Insekten im Bett.
This was our second time staying here and honestly we just love it. Such a good vibe every time, especially when the live music nights are on. We stayed this time while I was pregnant and celebrating our baby shower, and the team were so lovely and accommodating, they really made us feel comfortable the whole stay. It’s in such a great spot too, right near the surf break which my partner loves. We always recommend this place to friends and will definitely be back again.
Location near the surf spot, very nice personal and very good food.
At first, there was only one towel, but after we asked, we received more without any issues.
We had a really nice stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely beautiful, right on the beach. The Cocktails were excellent and the food was great as well. The staff was also very friendly. A special mention goes to the staff member who greeted us every morning at breakfast, always so warm, welcoming, and happy to chat. That really made our days start on a positive note. The rooms are simple but stylish. We stayed for two nights in a side view room, which unfortunately got quite warm and the air conditioning didn’t cool very well. Afterwards, we spent three nights in a garden room, where the temperature was perfect. The only small suggestion would be to add a couple of chairs, a small table, and maybe a full-length mirror like the one in the side view room. Overall, we were very happy with our stay. The atmosphere, both in the restaurant and on the beach loungers, was by far the nicest compared to other places nearby. We would definitely come back!
Об этом отеле мы узнали, посещая ресторан при нем. Кухня очень понравилась: чисто, вкусно, стильно, красиво. И, поездив по острову несколько дней, приняли решение остановиться здесь. Номер у нас был на первом этаже. Кондиционер работал хорошо, кровать удобная, душ без крыши) Самое классное - это расположение. Очень хороший пляж.
Лично нам не хватило одеяла) без кондиционера спать очень душно и жарко, с ним холодно. Я укрывалась еще сверху полотенцем. В ванной не хватило шампуня. Также нет фена (но нам и не нужен был).
Läget, personalen, inredningsstilen. Frukosten var typiskt Sri lakanskt med olika rätter som bjöds olika dagar. Bra och fräsch mat för övrigt. Rent och snyggt. Otroligt trevlig positiv personal, alltid ett leende. Tog en timmes surf lektion vi fick två jättebra instruktörer. Tog massage 2 ggr, var mycket bra. Trevligt med livemusik 2 kvällar/v. Det var detta stället på stranden som det var folk på på kvällarna:) vi återkommer!
Inget allt var toppen!
Everything was perfect
Personal ist sehr freundlich und man fühlt sich sofort willkommen. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist großartig. Und das Essen ist sehr gut. Man kann auch Massagen buchen. Diese sind sehr gut. Es gibt auch eine kleine Boutique mit Klamotten und Souvenirs. Die Zimmer sind sauber und großzügig. Wir hatten eins in der ersten Etage mit Meerblick. WiFi funktioniert gut und unten gibt es viele Tische an denen man auch gut arbeiten kann. WiFi ist hier noch besser mit Blick auf das Meer. Der Vibe ist sehr entspannt. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Ein Wasserkocher, Kühlschrank und Händehandtuch auf dem Zimmer wären noch schön gewesen.
Perfekte Lage, extrem entspannter Vibe, top Surflehrer, gutes Essen. Von einer Familie geführt.
Ansprechende Unterkunft mit einem besonderen Flair. Das gesamte Personal ist super herzlich, hilfsbereit und versprüht einen familiären Vibe. Klimaanlage im Zimmer ist ausreichend. Bad ist durch Frischluft klimatisiert. Die Beachbar ist top. Das Essen ist hervorragend. Der davorliegende Strandabschnitt ist herrlich.

Location, hotel is located on a very nice beach. Free sunbeds for hotel guests. Great food (breakfast, restaurant). Beautiful view from king rooms. Amazing staff!
No fridge and kettle (cups, glasses) in the room.
Incredible breakfast with lovely service
AC noisy
Tolles Hotel in super Lage, guter Service und Frühstück mit Meerblick
Большой просторный номер с балконом. С балкона открывается вид на ресторан и океан. Шум океана прекрасно слышно в номере и на меня действует как "белый шум". Еда вресторане - выше всяких похвал, каждый найдет себе что-то по душе, и точно не останется равнодушным. Мои топ - это боул с тунцом - просто бомба. Отдельное спасибо персоналу, который во всем помогает, также помогли устроить сюрприз подруге на день рождение. Такое отношение очень ценно и хочется вернуться вновь и вновь.
Место, в которое хочется вернуться. В этом отеле уже не первый раз. Номер с кроватью кинг-сайз очень уютный, особенно впечатляет душ с видом на океан. Балкончик с видом на океан - просто сказка. Ребята, которые работают в отеле и рестораны очень дружелюбные и готовы всем помочь при необходимости. Отель прям на океане, вышел босиком и ты уже счастлив. Ротрясающий ресторан. Аутентичные шриланкийские завтраки , которые могут не все оценить, но кокосовые лепешки и их домашний джем восхитительны.
Поставить в номер сушилку для одежды как в номерах с видом на море.
The location was good, right on the beach and they had quite a few sunbeds/chairs available. The food & drinks were very nice. Staff friendly Nice size balcony to watch the sunset Decent size rooms
The room we had did feel a little rundown, needs some TLC on the paint work, Flaking off. The beds are a little on the hard side and only one pillow each. Would have preferred a thin duvet over a Thin sheet Didnt have a mini fridge Didn’t have a full length mirror
Es war eine lockere, angenehme Atmosphäre. Immer gute Musik. Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr gutes Essen
Loved the location, staff, food & the beautiful hotel
Die Lage ist einfach klasse, direkt am Strand. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich, immer flott unterwegs. Speisekarte übersichtlich, aber sehr lecker, Cocktails klasse und die Getränke kalt. Die Betten sind bequem und die Dusche heiß und es kommt genug Wasser raus. Also alles gut.
Ein paar kleinere Reparaturarbeiten in den Zimmern könnten durchgeführt werden, das sind aber Kleinigkeiten.
Was das Hotel hauptsächlich ausmacht: - das super freundliche Personal!! - das tolle Mittag- und Abendessen (bestes Restaurant mit den besten Cocktails auf unserer Reise) auch wenn man hier mehr zahlt als woanders, die Qualität der Speisen und Getränke ist super. - Zimmer war für den Preis absolut ok - Lage direkt am Strand
Wir hatten das Zimmer mit Gartenblick. - an der Tür zum offenen Bad waren überall Lücken. - Bett hat bei jeder Bewegung laut geknarrt - Klimaanlage war sehr laut obwohl sie ganz neu war - die Terrasse war bei Regen komplett nass weil das Dach nicht dicht ist. - offenes Bad muss man mögen - Frühstücksauswahl - ständig laufende Musik, leider zu laut. Man kann aber in das Schwesterhotel gehen, dort ist es schön ruhig - kein Kühlschrank und Wasserkocher für Tee im Zimmer Ich würde trotzdem wieder kommen
