Silver Shine Beach Resort

Because the sea was rough unable to swim, the staff kindly offered us to transfer to the sister property RUVEESHA BEACH RESORT with a pool The staff are generous congenial and hospitable Even though the property is older, it has Sri Lankan beachside charm The beds were comfortable with white sheets and the room was clean Breakfast was extensive and plentiful We were well looked after

We slept well despite the wind turbine

petit déheuner

attention tous les emplacements ne sont pas en bord de mer lais à un autre endroit ou î y a ka piscine draps trouées et servettes aussi aucun réseau pas du tout de wifi sauf sur la plage très compliqué vu l’emplacement de trouver oour se déplacer restaurant de l hôtel coté piscine : salle pas conviviale du tout et peu de saveurs

La gentillesse du personnel.au petit soin. Et nous avons très bien mangé du petit déjeuner au dîner. Les douches en extérieur, très agréables !

Tout était parfait

La habitación estaba muy limpia, era amplia y el baño muy chulo estando al aire libre. Cenamos allí y estuvo muy rico y económico enfrente del mar. El desayuno muy rico y variado era buffet. En la playa no hay prácticamente nadie.

Nada, todo perfecto

Staff very friendly and attentive. Located on the beach had a very chilled vibe. It was relatively cheap. The breakfast was included and very generous. The onsite restaurant also provided a good choice of menu for evening meal.o

Wij hebben hier 4 dagen gezeten in de Cabana Rose, dicht bij het strand. Ook hier waren wij in eerste instantie een beetje teleurgesteld in wat wij hadden voorgesteld maar ook hier moet je even indenken wat deze mensen hebben meegemaakt. Ramen konden niet open of dicht, douche glijstang blijft amper hangen en de badkamer is buiten. Pas ook op dat je niet je hoofd stoot. Toch hebben de eigenaren andere prioriteiten als je ziet wat er is weg- en stukgewaaid door de cylone, inclusief hun eigen woning. Restaurant is niet de goedkoopste maar wel met een uitzicht en kwalitatief goed. Wordt geadverteerd met een zwembad echter dat ligt 350m verderop. Er is hier geen ligbedje te vinden en de pomp van het zwembad staat niet aan, toch prima voor een koele duik. In de omgeving is verder niets en ook het plaatsje en de lagune zijn geen aanraders. Wat wel zeer aan te raden is, de dolfijnen safari. Gewoon vanaf het strand met een half uur zit je tussen de honderden dolfijnen. Kortom voor rust en strand zit je hier prima.

Douche stang

L’emplacement, le logement, le calme, le personnel en général et la gentillesse de la gérante et les repas

Rien, tout était parfait, pour moi

le logement avec douche extérieur. l’accueil, serviette fraîche et petit verre. Bon ptit déjeuner copieux.

Les éoliennes, les plastiques au abords de la plage

L'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel, tres attentif et agréable. Super emplacement, beaucoup d'espace, sur la plage et piscine. Restaurant qui domine la plage. Cadre tres agréable. Balade en bateau pour voir les dauphins, mer agitée ce jour, mais super encadrement des 2 personnes en charge du bateau, beaucoup de dauphins, top. Super p'tit dej, tres copieux et délicieux ainsi que les repas pris sur place

Peu être une amelioration du confort de la salle de bain

booked as a stop over but loved it so much we stayed ten nights. We had a room near the pool and had this (pool!) to ourselves. A short walk to the beach resort and we had a deserted beach, apart from fishermen, and a restaurant that overlooked the beach serving the most delicious food. A great menu or a Sri Lankan buffet. Fresh fruit juices at excellent prices. The turtle hatching next door, the warm sea and the staff who smiled all the time and were so welcoming. The dolphin trip. well-worth the money.

having to leave. Not keen on the number of stray dogs but they were harmless.

Stunning location. Fantastic welcome Great swimming pool Nothing was missing a great place to stay

We had a very nice stay at the hotel. There are 2 parts, one on the beach and one a bit futher away (where we stayed) which has a beautiful garden and nice pool. The bathroom with open shower is really nice Would recommend staying at this hotel!

Vraiment très bien , grand confort

Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereit Gastgeber. Die Lage ist direkt am Strand.

Am Strand zu wenig Schattenplätze zum chillen.

Het personeel is super vriendelijk en ze doen er alles aan om het naar je zin te maken. Lekker groot zwembad en dichtbij het strand.

Er is weinig te doen in de omgeving/ er zijn veel honden

La situation géographique de l’hôtel était exceptionnelle .

Locatie

sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite gastgeber, sehr gutes frühstück, tolle lage direkt am meer

Fantastische plek, gerund door lieve familie die alles doen om het je naar de zin te maken. Geweldig uitgebreid en heerlijk ontbijt

Koffie/thee faciliteiten (o.a waterkoker) op de kamer zou een welkome aanvulling zijn, die misten wij

La gentillesse du personnel La plage

Rien

Superbe site sur front de mer. Belle plage, pas de roches. Possible de marcher longtemps sur la plage. Nous avons déjeuner et souper sur place à 50 mètres de la plage 🏝️ Délicieux et bon rapport qualité/prix.

Éolienne tout près mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé.

Nightly visits from a couple of bats in the partly open air bathroom. Few mosquitoes, which was good because the mosquito net was full of holes. Breakfast. The beach below the restaurant, if you don't mind the murky water (can't see the bottom - February), or the view down the cost to the coal terminal and the coal power plant. We booked 4 nights, 2 nights at a time. Manager arranged so we got the same room for 4 nights (and the best of them).

3 out of four nights with loud music, not surprising when they advertise on their homepage "Omeesha Beach Hotel Kalpitiya is an ideal place for Private Parties, Cocktail Parties, Wedding Receptions, BBQ Night......." I picked a medium size garbage bag with plastic waste from the beach below (and partly on) the property. Along the beach away from the property, there is quite a lot of plastic waste. The walk to St. Anne's National Shrine along the beach could have been really nice, but on long stretches of the beach there is a huge amount of plastic waste. Be aware that the rooms they advertise with "pool view" are in Ruveesha Resort, which is down the road and away from the beach (Omeesha does not have a pool).

Un superbe endroit pour relaxer. Les propriétaires de l’établissement sont extrêmement sympathiques et accueillant, faisant tout pour rendre votre séjour des plus agréables. Le site est très bien entretenu, et les repas exceptionnels. Je le recommande très fortement.

Alles hat super gepasst. Das Personal war sehr rreundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir konnten jederzeit etwas zu Essen im Restaurant bestelle und es war lecker. Wir hatte Sonnenliegen zum benutzen. Wir konnten Masssage und Treatments übers Hotel buchen und hatten eine Delphinetour. Bezüglich des Frühstückes- Das war ein absoluter Traum! Ein Buffet aus verschiedenen Sri Lankischen Frühstücksgerichten. Wir haben das mega genossen!

Rust

Was heel rustig8

Very delicious breakfast, wonderful location at the beach. Resort is run by a super friendly couple.

Wifi was a little weak.

Ein am Meer gelegenes, ruhiges und schönes Resort. Sehr freundliches Personal und ein hervorragendes Frühstück. Wer Entspannung sucht ist hier gut aufgehoben. Empfehlenswert.ö

------

Empfang war sehr freundlich. Essen war sehr gut.

Die Anlage ist zweigeteilt, ein Teil am Strand die André mit Pool ca 350 m weg. Alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen. In der Anlage am Strand steht eine Windturbinen. Macht ein sehr unangenehmes Geräusch. Die Bewertungen kann ich nicht nachvollziehen.

If you need relax and a bit out of civilization this is the place

In case of wind the aerogenerator is a bit noisy

Fantastische Lage,sauberer Strand, sehr gutes Essen. Alle waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Drei Tage Entspannung pur. Danke

Das Hotel hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Der Strand ist wunderschön und man kann super schwimmen. Die Räume sind auch super, sauber und die Außenduschen top!

Leider kann man online die "Zimmer mit Poolblick" buchen, wobei nicht geschrieben steht, dass diese nicht in dem abgebildeten Resort sind, sondern 200m entfernt in einem anderen. Also falls ihr in dem abgebildeten Resort mit Strandzugang nächtigen möchtet, bucht nicht "Poolblick" sondern die etwas teureren Zimmer! Da bei uns die anderen Zimmer noch frei waren, konnten wir einfach dorthin wechseln. Der Pool ist somit auch in dem vom Strand entfernten Resort.

Très bien placé au bord de la plage

Le personnel et le coté simple

Staff, location

un petit paradis devant une plage magnifique de sable fin ou il fait bon se baigner, se promener sur des kms, lire sur les transats...le personnel souriant est aux petits soins pour nous ... les breakfast sont copieux et tres variés, comme tous les plats proposés par le chef cuistot, surtout le poisson frais! à des prix tres corrects pour cette qualité.... et n'oublions pas le centre de santé massages exceptionnels ayurvédics! un must! que du bonheur !

rien même le bruit régulier des éoliennes à proximité ne nous a pas gêné !

The location was amazing, right on the beach. Swimming in the sea was safe and enjoyable. The room was very clean and the bed was comfy. We liked the place so much we stayed an extra night.

Karaoke on the first night kept us awake but after that everything was fine.

Beach side location, very friendly and attentive staff. Most amazing breakfast - more food than we could eat! Evening meal also good. Quirky room with open air shower. Opportunity to do dolphin trip or massages but we didn’t take these up. Pool available in sister accommodation, but we swam in the sea. Owner helped with tuk tuk ride back to Puttalam to get onward bus

Location quiet but this was due to effects post cyclone.

Schitterende locatie aan een prive strand met lekkere ligbedjes. Heerlijk (lokaal) gegeten, de crab curry was voortreffelijk! Je kunt er heerlijk relaxen of mooie activiteiten ondernemen zoals dolfijnen spotten, wij hebben er een heleboel gezien! Het personeel was super aardig en behulpzaam. Mocht je willen ontspannen kan je ook een massage nemen. Al met al een fantastische plek, zeker de moeite waard om te verblijven!

A simple but wonderful place right next to a quiet, beautiful beach. Located in a calm, less touristy area. Exceptional breakfast and dinner, excellent value for money, and a very friendly, attentive owner.

Sehr ruhig gelegen, nette Zimmer mit einem Aussenbadezimmer, sehr cool ! Besitzerehepaar sehr sehr freundlich. Frühstück und Abendessen auf jeden Fall auch empfehlenswert.

Aufgrund von hohen Wellen konnten wir nicht ins Meer, das war sehr schade, dafür kann aber das Hotel nichts. Die vielen Windräder wurden bereits mehrfach in den Bewertungen erwähnt. Uns persönlich haben sie nicht gestört, aber ja…… sie sind da!

Dans un cadre joli comme tout, nous avons passé 2 jours très paisibles. Vu des dauphins, manger sur la plage, nager dans la mer , lire sur les chaises longues . Restaurant excellent. Personnel souriants et aux petits soins. massage ayurvedique super !

The owners and staff were all delightful and the food was excellent, with generous portions. Option of using the pool in their sister hotel just round the corner.

El personal muy amable, acceso directo a la playa de facto cuando salgas de la habitación, baño abierto, habitación amplia, bebida de bienvenida, todo los detalles

El trato y las instalaciones eran increíbles si volviera repetía 100%100 lo rexomiwndo.

Nada que ojeyar.

Das Zimmer war super, alles war sehr sauber und das Highlight waren die Duschen im Freien. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Essen war mit viel Liebe zubereitet und das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und geht auf alle Wünsche ein. Wir haben uns beim lokalen ayurveda Arzt massieren lassen. Er hatte ein großes Wissen und hat uns gut beraten. Das Team bietet einige Aktivitäten zu einem fairen Preis. Zur Abkühlung kann man 5min zu fuß zum zweiten Resort spazieren, dort gibt es einen Pool. Wir würden wieder kommen!

La cama era súper cómoda y grande.

Empfangen wurden wir mit einem frischen Früchtecocktail und kühlenden refreshing towels. Was gibt es Schöneres, als so willkommen zu sein. Unser Bungalow ist riesig, luftig, mit einer schönen Veranda inkl. Sitzbank und Tisch davor. Speziell gefallen hat uns auch das Outdoor Badezimmer (having a shower with the moon)! Das Wasser fliesst ìmmer aus einer edlen Muschel und gibt so ein Meeres Feeling. Mali und Nixon sind sehr sympathische und hervorragende Gastgeber. Sie führen diesen Familienbetrieb eigenständig und haben zwei herzige Kinder im Primarschulalter. Ihre Mitarbeiter gehören zur Familie. Das Essen ist mega lecker und wird immer frisch zubereitet. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist outstanding. Wir sind schon zum vierten Mal in Sri Lanka unterwegs, doch so etwas Reichhaltiges haben wir noch nie erlebt! Die Lage direkt an der Beach mit dem Rauschen des Meeres und dem weiten Strand ist wunderschön. Liegen und Beachtowels werden kostenlos abgegeben. Nixon ist auch ein guter Tuck Tuck Fahrer und stellt seine Dienste gerne und zu einem fairen Preis zur Verfügung. Bei uns hatte das Meer eher hohe Wellen. Wir durften dann in ihrem zweiten Resort Ruveesha den Pool benutzen, was wir sehr schätzten. In diesem Resort ist auch ihr ayurvedischer Arzt tätig. Bei ihm durfte ich eine wohltuende und wirkungsvolle Massage geniessen. Auch er eine sehr vertrauenswürdige Person. Wir kommen wieder und werden diese familiäre Unterkunft gerne unseren Freunden weiterempfehlen.

A very charming place to stay. You enter the beach through the pine trees. The gentleman and lady who own the place are very friendly. They chatted with us well and looked after our needs. The staff are also very helpful. The food is very tasty.

Nice Beach and beach restaurant

Room ac need improve

Nice price-performance ratio! Super friendly hosts and a nice room with outdoor shower/bathroom.

The Omeesha Beach Resort is beautiful: the bungalows are spacious, the area relaxing with beautiful sea view.

On the beach there is unfortunately a lot of trash - a beach cleaning would be needed! First they put us in Ruveesha, the cheaper version of Omeesha, 10 Min. walking distance away from the beach, breakfast area.. When we reclaimed, they first wanted an extra fee for the Omeesha bungalow but then gave it at the value we had booked originally. After that confusion, they tried to make up for it which was nice but then we got added service charges for the room. So all in all: Beautiful resort but management could be better.

We love staying in the individual Cabana, but they only have one left and I'm glad we got it. We also love being able to walk down to the beach in 1 minute and eat at the restaurant which is on the beach as well. His neighbouring property Ruveesha has a pool but is a longer walk to the beach..The food was excellent and their service staff manager with very good English was excellent and so friendly. The Omeesha Cabana had an attached outdoor bathroom with a cold water shower out of a conch shell as well as a separate hot water shower. All staff were very polite and helpful and the food was very tasty. The pan fried crab was excellent and I also loved the Sri Lankan breakfasts.

I would have liked some seating in the room. We had to ask for a couple of outdoor chairs. And the back wall of the shower could have had a bit more scrubbing in parts to remove the discolouration.

Great beach. Fantastic host.

Lack of toilet paper.

The staff was lovely and very helpful. We really enjoyed our two nights stay at the hotel.

Well maintained property with an excellent restaurant and very helpful staff. Swimming in the sea was ideal because the waves were not rough. We had the beach almost entirely to ourselves. We especially enjoyed the boat trip to view hundreds of dolphins that surrounded us.

Some mosquitoes and flies.

Beautiful beach front resort with a great restaurant and super friendly staff. They arranged a dolphin tour and we went from their beach, we've never seen so many dolphins it was amazing. We booked a poolside room but decided to upgrade as it was a distance away from the beach and restaurant. However the upgraded room had an outdoor washroom and toilet and even though it was a novelty it wasn't very practical.

Food, close to beach,

Pool and outdoor bath not clean. (Not hotel fault) but.. pick me and uber, will not make pickup from this hotel (they arranged tuc tuc to bigger city

The staff were very helpful. There was a wide range of food available at all meals. The sea was lovely and calm for swimming. There were no currents. There was a nice view over the beach next to the property. It was virtually deserted and it was nice to walk along.

Very relaxed, friendly and helpful manager and staff. The standout feature of our stay was the breakfast, which is freshly cooked and will keep you going till dinner. I have a gluten allergy and the manager made a special.point of cooking food which I could eat.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. Everything was perfect, from the clean and comfortable rooms to the excellent service. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The amenities were well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable stay!”

If you like to have a nice and relaxing stay close to the beach, this is the place. The owners and the staff was always helpful and friendly. Great food! Thanks for the New Year barbecue party!

Helpful friendly staff and great food particularly the exceptional Sri Lankan chicken curry.

Nothing really

Staff was really nice, the hosts were very attentive and took very good care of us. We were even allowed to do a (very) late check-out! The local breakfast was incredibly tasty and varied (and unlimited)! The location was great, right on top of the beach (we had a room with pool view, which was in a different location but only a 10min walk away). Rooms are quite humble but the experience and kindness made it more than worth it!

Excellent property with private beach

No hot water

The stag were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble

Was very expensive for what it was

An exceptional place! Great staff, great owners, great food, great outdoor shower. Loved every minute here.

Lovely location by the beach, the breakfast was phenomenal every morning, and very easy for vegetarians. The menu for dinner and lunch was very good and affordable. Staff are lovely and welcoming, they will always help you out.

If you go in off season you won't be able to swim in the sea (around September) as it is too rough and sandy. But still a lovely relaxing place with a free pool close by!

Clam and very beautiful place. Perfect for relaxing . Very beautiful clean beach. Breakfast is very tasty . Lunch and dinner is very tasty and have better selection . Specialy sea food plate is very amazing and unlimited supplying in reasonable prize. Friendly staff and attentive owners.We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed our stay very much.will come back again .

It was off season and our group of 10 were practically the only ones there. The cabanas were approx 20 km before Kalpatha. The rooms were very quaint with outside bathrooms. The beds were fitted with very snug mosquito nets and extremely comfortable. Location directly on the beach. The most outstanding part of our overnight stay were the staff. Charlo and his staff were exceptional and delivered the most wonderful Sri Lankan dinner buffet followed the next morning by an equally scrumptious breakfast. This is by no means a 5 star resort, it’s clean , comfortable and charming, and was perfect for an overnight stay.

Beach outside the cabanas had rubbish. Staff should be more attentive to daily rubbish removal

Location and concept is relaxing and amazing. Especially Cabanas among casuarina forest and the view of wind mills. There is no other place to have such experience in Sri Lanka. The rice and curry was made from local vegies picked the closer farmlands. And seafoods are also amazing too. The maneger and the all staff is so friendly supportive.

Lovely outdoor bathroom, comfortable bed. Staff could not do enough for us, lovely full breakfast. We enjoyed the beachfront and outdoor dining area. Basic but comfortable. Value for money.

See below

Having stayed at quite a few places in Sri Lanka, At this price point, We were expecting better, I Know its by the Beach , But we were not expecting the whooshing of the wind turbines overhead !, Plus rubbish Internet, Or the OUTSIDE BATHROOM, Which could be seen as a novelty, But bringing wet sand etc into the bedroom is a hassle, Along with the worst bit, Thousands of ANTS. Mosquitoes would have been peferred, As under a net, your safe, But ants got everywhere The Restaurant, Is crazy expensive for what it serves up, We have stayed at a few places where the whole meal was cheaper than ANY of the starters here, And better. Problem is, theres nothing else around so tough. Staff are nice, A good bunch

One of the best placed I amstaying is then perfect front of the beach roo. It is a very comfortable air conditioning, running well service staff, and outstanding great service especially breakfast, a lot of variety provide very nice breakfast, highly recommended

Non

The beach is nice but the waves have a strong pull. The dining areas and shaded areas are nice. The rooms are adequate but like many hotel rooms in Sri Lanka lack clothes storage.

The staff stand and watch you eating and became too familiar. The bathrooms are dirty and have poor quality fittings. The door lock broke so we were moved to a superior room, which had a similarly grubby bathroom,
