Incredible location, beautiful place to swim. Very relaxed place with local village feel.

Super mooie omgeving en leuke sfeer van het hotel
Prachtige ligging aan zee met uitzicht op Pigeon island. Comfortabele kamers, mooi balkon, mooi zwembad en privestrandje. Vanuit privestrand konden we opstappen voor een boottocht naar pigeon island.
Het hotel ligt wat afgelegen.
Lage direkt am Meer; sehr gutes Essen in der Unterkunft, sehr freundliches Personal. Die Familien Suite mit eigenem Pool war sehr komfortabel.
Keine Geschäfte oder Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe.
It was well located, close to the beach, secluded and polite staff
Really surprised by all the positive reviews as it was not very clean, towels and bedding had stains, old wrappers in the beside table drawers. Breakfast food was clearly saved from unfinished food from other guests which was highly unhygienic. Breakfast was always cold.
A lovely intimate spot with friendly staff and good food
both the place and the food are very expensive for what you get. And I love animals, but having stray dogs and cats staring and waiting for food during lunch, dinner is a no for me. Also I wonder why the prices are displayed in dollars.
Extrem gelungene Hotelanlage mit einem Haupthaus, das architektonisch Natur und ökologisches Wohnen verbindet. Es werden sehr viele lokale Materialien verwendet, gleichzeitig ist die Anlage sehr modern und zeitgemäß gestaltet. Das einzige Hotel auf unserer Reise, das wirklich internationale Standards erfüllt. Sehr zu empfehlen, allerdings auch das teuerste Hotel auf unserer gesamten Tour. Wie in Sri Lanka üblich, sind die Menschen sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Besonders schön ist der kleine, private Strand, der direkt vor der Anlage liegt und zum Hotel gehört.
Zum regulären Preis zu teuer für SriLanka. Mit der Lage an Nilaveli Beach etwas abseits, dafür allerdings sehr ruhig gelegen. Wer etwas mehr Backpacker-Flair haben möchte, sollte zum Uppaveli Beach fahren Bei Buchung keine Stornierungsmöglichkeit (sonst Standart auf booking
Tranquil location for a relaxing stay.
C Beyond Nilaveli is a beautiful hotel in a stunning setting, and our room was honestly dreamy. We stayed in one of the rooms away from the main building, with direct beach access and our own plunge pool. It was chic, spacious and spotlessly clean, and the children had so much fun in the pool. Having the beach almost entirely to ourselves was also incredible. The staff were attentive and friendly, and one evening we had dinner with the tables set up on the beach, which was such a beautiful experience. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing, which was particularly frustrating given the setting. As someone with coeliac disease, I had emailed ahead and had several conversations with staff about my dietary requirements. Sadly, I never felt that my requirements were fully understood or that I could eat with confidence. At breakfast, there was a huge selection and the children absolutely loved the French toast, but there seemed to be very little thought about what was genuinely safe for me. I often had to explain things again, and it felt as though what I had discussed the previous day wasn't remembered. This was very different from the level of care and understanding we experienced at other hotels during our two weeks in Sri Lanka, where staff went above and beyond to make sure I could eat safely. We also had a couple of small issues with hot water and shower pressure during our stay, although these didn't detract too much from the room itself. Overall, C Beyond is a gorgeous place with a wonderful beach, beautiful rooms and a very relaxed atmosphere. For us, the location and accommodation were fantastic and the children loved it. However, the food and lack of confidence around managing coeliac requirements meant that it didn't quite live up to the experience we had hoped for.
Le C Beyond Nilaveli est, sans aucun doute, le meilleur hôtel dans lequel nous ayons séjourné de toute notre vie… et pourtant, nous avons énormément voyagé ! Nous avons eu la chance de séjourner dans une chambre avec vue sur la mer et piscine privée : un véritable rêve. Se réveiller face à l'océan est une expérience inoubliable. Le personnel est tout simplement exceptionnel, d'une gentillesse, d'une disponibilité et d'une attention de chaque instant. Nous nous sommes sentis accueillis comme des invités privilégiés. Le bâtiment principal offre une vue spectaculaire sur la lagune d'un côté et sur la mer de l'autre. Le dîner, servi les pieds dans le sable à la lueur des flambeaux, est un moment magique. La plage est magnifique, presque déserte, avec de nombreux transats toujours disponibles, ce qui permet de profiter pleinement du calme et de la beauté des lieux. Le service directement sur la plage est irréprochable. Les petits-déjeuners sont copieux, variés et mettent à l'honneur de délicieuses spécialités sri-lankaises. Tout était absolument parfait. Un immense merci à toute l'équipe pour ce séjour inoubliable. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter et recommandons cet établissement les yeux fermés !
L'hôtel est situé dans un site incroyable. Il y a un petit sentier joliment amènagé qui mène à une belle piscine et à la plage où nous attendent quelques transats. C'est calme et très nature. Le petit déjeuner est incroyable et la chambre est jolie et agréable
En comparaison de nos autres hotel Sri Lankais, celui ci m'a paru un peu cher. Cependant, pas assez que pour nous faire regretter d'avoir mis ce prix.
Sehr freundliches Personal, direkte Strandlage, sauberer Pool, sehr schönes Zimmer
Preis-Leistung Verhältnis für Sri Lanka etwas teurer wie üblich
Stunning location by the beach. Very quiet and chilled. Special mention to Deva, who was very friendly and helpful during our stay!
I thought the evening meals were slightly overpriced. Need to take tuktuk to find other places to eat, as only one relatively local one to walk to!
El personal fue excepcionalmente amable y atento durante toda nuestra estancia. La habitación con piscina privada era amplia y cómoda, y la ubicación frente al mar es ideal para descansar.
Por el precio que pagamos esperábamos un nivel mucho más alto. Las instalaciones necesitan más mantenimiento, la playa frente al hotel estaba bastante sucia y, aunque nos alojamos en la que se supone es la mejor habitación del hotel, la piscina privada apenas ofrece intimidad, ya que es muy visible desde las zonas comunes y otras habitaciones.
Friendliness and quality of food The breakfasts are huge
I wanted to take one of the doggies home with me So many dragon flies I don’t mind them as who friendly accommodation but so so many
Wonderful staff, Eric the manager was fantastic and so friendly, he accommodated everything we asked. Our air con broke and someone came straight away to look. All transport could be arranged by the manager. A lovely place right on the beach. Excellent breakfast!
The place is not near anything (like a different restaurant or place to shop or buy souvenir etc) if you want to take a walk. You have to drive or tuk tuk to go to nearby town or anywhere.
Location & hospitality
Nothing as such but keep in mind pros and cons of living in tropical area.
Beautiful rooms in an idyllic location right on Nilaveli beach. Property is wonderfully decorated, comfortable common areas for dinner, lounging and swimming in the pool. The staff are fabulous, very nice and nothing is ever too much trouble - we already miss them! The food served onsite is delicious and very generous portions!
L’esthétique, la vue, la nourriture, le service, la taille de l’établissement, l’accès à la place, le cadre nature, le confort, l’espace salon, le massage
Pourquoi pas ajouter une salle de sport
We loved our stay at C Beyond. We searched many reviews and decided to stay here. We were very happy. The staff could not do more for you. The food was delicious and as vegan guests, Eric the manager arranged soya chunks for our dinner. The hotel is in a great location and our trip to Pidgeon island was from the beach just infront. Eric is kind to the local animals and tried to neuter the strays if he can. Two dogs on the beach front are so friendly and love a cuddle. We enjoyed our stay, the rooms were large, comfortable and great views. The breakfast was large and tasty! We got washing done here and was only £12 for two washes. Great value and smelt lovely.
All good.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour, la chambre était super belle et confortable. La vue est magnifique. Le personnel est top. Ils nous ont aidé à réserver nos activités, réserver un scooter et bénéficier d’un service de laundry avec retour des vêtements le jour même. L’hôtel est propre, bien entretenu. Je recommande vivement
Upper level room, tastefully decorated with superb balcony view. Lovely relaxed charm to overall place. Friendly staff and delicious food.
Pond out the front of the restaurant could do with a little love - the views are generally stunning and this just needs a little clean up as it is large and the first thing you look out over.
מלון במיקום מצוין, על חוף יפה. חדרים גדולים ומרווחים. ארוחת בוקר מעולה!
ניקיון ותחזוקה במלון ובחדרים דורשים שיפור משמעותי!!
C Beyond Nilaveli was simply perfect. My partner and I had a wonderful stay there. It is the ideal place to relax, unwind, and enjoy a comfortable holiday. The property is charming, beautifully maintained, and exceptionally clean. It feels like a little paradise filled with dragonflies, colorful butterflies, tiny turtles, frogs, and, most importantly, a lovely family of dogs, including an absolutely adorable puppy. The staff are kind, welcoming, and always willing to help. The beach is just a few steps from the rooms, creating a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere where you instantly feel at ease. The only small point worth mentioning is that the photos do not perfectly reflect the layout of the property. We expected to have a direct ocean view from our room, which was not the case. However, this was not a major issue, as the hotel is wonderful just as it is. If there is one area that could be improved, it would be the food and service, which were not quite at the same level as the rest of the experience. Thank you so much for this unforgettable stay. We would happily return and highly recommend C Beyond Nilaveli to anyone looking for a peaceful and charming getaway.
The room is amazing! The beach is deserted and perfect to relax undisturbed.
Absolute Perfection! We had an absolutely flawless stay and cannot recommend this place enough! Everything was simply perfect from start to finish. The room featuring the private pool was an absolute highlight—luxurious, clean, and offering the perfect space to relax in complete privacy. Another major standout was the food. Every meal was delicious, but the breakfast deserves a special mention—it was exceptional, fresh, and offered a fantastic variety to start the day. What truly made our stay unforgettable, however, was the team. The staff were incredibly nice, genuinely warm, and went above and beyond to be helpful with every single request.
The place is a hidden gem: calm and peaceful. Perfect to relax and enjoy the surrounding nature, especially the stunning beach with amazing sunrise. The room was really nice and comfortable overall and the decoration done with taste. Our villa had a pool which was enjoyable. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were amazing , we recommend trying Sri Lankan dishes ! The staff is very friendly and helpful, always making sure we are enjoying our stay. They partner with a company proposing boat tours and snorkeling, they come to pick you up by boat just on the hotel’s beach: no transportation needed. They also have in house Ayurvedic massage that was really good.
Het hotel ligt heel mooi aan zee. De kamer is ruim en de badkamer ook. De bedden slapen heerlijk. Op het strand lopen af toe koeien en je kan er heerlijk zwemmen.
De locatie is wat afgelegen. Het locale restaurantje in de buurt is prima maar zoek je wat meer vertier dan is dit wel een half uurtje rijden met de tuktuk.
An absolute gem! We loved staying here - family of four. The staff were highly attentive, the decor was beautiful and the kids were very happy with the pool (especially the private one). On the beach, with stunning views, and the staff ensured our every needs were met. Great food, comfortable beds - just wonderful!
Nothing
Beautiful views, gorgeous rooms, friendly staff.
Tolle Lage direkt am Meer, wer seine Ruhe haben will, ist hier richtig. Der Strand ist nur ca. 50 m vom Haupthaus entfernt, den hat man praktisch alleine, ab und zu mal ein paar Einheimische und - kein Scherz - ein paar Kühe sowie ein paar netten und zutraulichen Hunden. Das Restaurant Sara ist in direkter Nähe auch zu empfehlen.
Die Badezimmertüre hat geknarrt.
Absolutely loved the character and natural beauty of the place. If you want peace, quiet and a bit of nature this is definitely the place to go. We booked to stay over our 25th wedding anniversary. Located in a much quieter and less developed area, it was the perfect area to stop and relax for a few days. The beach and lagoon are stunning and great to swim in. The pool is clean with nice shaded areas to sit and read. The staff are fantastic and so helpful. Eric looked after us for our stay and a special mention to Shaamil who was very attentive. Our room was very spacious and clean. Due to the location of the resort, there is wildlife about, but this is what we loved about the place. The food is fantastic and fresh. Fish dishes highly recommended. We ate there and also at a restaurant nearby. You can catch a tuk tuk to visit local sites in Nilaveli including the Hindu Temple. There was a lot to see. We also went snorkeling at the nearby Pigeon island which was fantastic. Snorkelled with turtles and black tip reef sharks. Will definitely stay again!!!!!
Wir hatten das Familienzimmer mit einem großen Balkon im ersten Stock. Toller Blick aufs Meer, der Strand ist sauber und nur für die Gäste. Sehr schön ist auch der Pool. Essen kann man besser und günstiger in Restaurants, die zu Fuß zu erreichen sind.
Nichts
The place is incredible and so well looked after. It's a beautiful, relaxing place. The staff was wonderful, warm and welcoming and the food the best we've had so far.
Gorgeous little hotel with amazing staff! Could never tire of the amazing views. They helped us book snorkelling at pigeon island and went above and beyond for us during our stay. The food was also great.
Super séjour de 4 jours au C Beyond ! Je recommande vivement cet hotel : la nourriture est excellente (la meilleure que j’ai pu avoir au sri Lanka), le service est top, l’ambiance y est familiale, la vue est belle, les chambres sont très bien
Hôtel au charme absolu. Prendre la chambre face à la mer qui offre une vue exceptionnelle sur la lagune depuis le balcon. Le restaurant offre des mets à un bon rapport qualité prix. Petit déjeuner copieux.
Tout ! Le personnel était aux petits soins, la plage était à 2 min à pieds, la vue est à couper le souffle, merci encore Cbeyond ☀️
Tout ! Hôtel exceptionnel dans un environnement exceptionnel. Hôtel face a la mer avec chemin privé pour y accéder, la plage est calme est belle, le tout entouré d’animaux ! Mention spéciale aux chats et chiens que nous avons adoré câliné 🥰 De plus, la nourriture était excellente. Expérience inoubliable
Rien. Le personnel est aux petit soins
C Beyond is a wonderful hotel just north of the main Nilaveli beach area. It’s isolated but serene. Great facilities including a big pool and multiple outdoor dining spaces. Best of all they have a strip of beach that is essentially empty so it becomes your private beach. Staff is friendly and attentive, focused on services. The food is excellent and the vibe is great for a quiet relaxed getaway.
Super Personal, direkte Lage am Strand mit kleinem Privatpool
Teilweise streunende Hunde
Tout : c’est splendide, la vue est à couper le souffle, la nourriture est très bonne et le staff adorable (mention spéciale pour le serveur qui s’est occupé de nous à tous les repas, un grand jeune, qui a été absolument parfait et bienveillant). Dans les autres avis, on peut voir des critiques sur le bruit des oiseaux ou les chiens errants. OUI, on est au Sri Lanka! Les standards européens sont évidemment différents, la nature est différente, on ne vient pas au Sri Lanka pour être choqué par des libellules ou des chiens errants sinon on a choisi le mauvais pays !
Tout était parfait
We absolutely loved our stay - really comfortable room looking right out over the sea, delicious food in the restaurant and immediate access to the beach. The staff were lovely and incredibly helpful, including arranging for us to go snorkelling, setting off from right in front of the hotel, and they advised us on going to Angel Rock over Pigeon Island. We stayed for 4 nights and loved every second of it.
Wifi wasn't great. We preordered our dinner before 5pm on the days when we ate at the restaurant having read the advice of previous reviews, this wasn't a problem at all but wasn't something that the hotel made obvious we should do.
The view from this hotel is amazing. We really appreciated the hospitality of the hotel staff, they literally do everything to bring convenience and comfort. We liked the snorkeling tour.
Sunbeds near the beach were being destroyed/ by street dogs. It's a problem in whole Sri Lanka, but compared to the beautiness of the hotel, this is something that should be taken care of... Restaurant prices are a little high, but the view and food quality is worth it. Also consider the Sara restaurant close by, less view but good food.
Es war alles traumhaft. Wir waren als Familie 5 Nächte hier und haben alles (Zimmer mit eigenem Pool, grosser Pool, Essen, Strand, das Haus) sehr genossen. Danke für alles.
L’accueil du personnel, le petit déjeuner et le service des jeunes serveurs qui font au mieux.
La propreté laisse fortement à désirer, avec des chiens et chats errants jusque sur les terrasses des logements. L’état général de l’hôtel est déplorable, notamment pour les chambres familiales. Les photos ne reflètent absolument pas la réalité actuelle de l’établissement, qui est aujourd’hui très défraîchi. Nous ne sommes restés qu’une seule nuit sur les cinq prévues. Le personnel nous avait assuré, lors de nos échanges WhatsApp, qu’un remboursement serait effectué. Cependant, l’établissement a finalement refusé de procéder à ce remboursement. De son côté, Booking nous a accordé un geste commercial de 100 € sur une réservation de 900 €. Pour tenter de se faire pardonner, l’établissement nous a offert le repas pris le premier soir. Certes, nous avons fait le choix de partir et nous l’assumons, mais cela était motivé par un réel sentiment d’insécurité pour nos deux enfants. Pour couronner le tout, nous avons trouvé une grenouille dans la salle de bain à notre arrivée.
This hotel is tucked away in a really quiet area, just about 200 meters from Coral Island, which made it perfect for a relaxing stay. The room was spotless and nicely designed—it felt both cozy and stylish at the same time. Breakfast was one of my favorite parts. Everything tasted fresh, especially the fruits and juices, and there was a nice variety of local dishes to try. The whole area has a very peaceful vibe, and the ocean nearby is incredibly clean and almost empty. I genuinely enjoyed my time here. A big thank you to the staff—they were so warm and welcoming and really made us feel at home.

Le personnel, la vue, l’accès à la plage
Location was perfect.
Looked a bit tired in places.
Die Unterkunft ist wunderschön und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Zimmer (wir waren im 1. Stock) sind sehr groß und geräumig, ebenso das Bad. Der Ausblick vom Balkon mit Blick aufs Meer war traumhaft. Hervorzuheben ist die Freundlichkeit der Angestellten. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Eric und Devan haben uns bei allen Fragen unterstützt und Ausflüge/Fahrer organisiert. Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig, abwechslungsreich und überaus lecker. Für unsere Verhältnisse gab es viel zu viel zum Frühstücken und wir hoffen, dass die Reste nicht weggeworfen werden müssen. Auch die Meeresfrüchte-Platte am Abend können wir sehr empfehlen.
Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche ist bei warmen Wasser viel zu niedrig gewesen und es war uns nicht möglich die Temperatur richtig einzustellen. Der Betreiber wollte das prüfen und reparieren lassen. Wer Angst vor Insekten hat, ist hier vielleicht nicht gut aufgehoben. Wir hatten regelmäßig Käfer und andere Insekten im Zimmer.
Beautiful laid back small resort on a remote beach. My room was large and comfortable and had a huge balcony overlooking the beach toward Pigeon Island. The staff and owner were helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was copious...save room for the delicious Sri Lankan options which come as a "fourth" course. Sunrise is dream like. You will share the beach mainly with local fishermen and friendly dogs.
Dining options around the resort are limited, but Sara's up the road is a nice place for a light local meal. Internet was a bit slow.
Amazing location right on the beach with stunning sunrises and sunsets from a gorgeous room with a balcony overlooking the sea. Helpful friendly staff and beautifully appointed shared lounge space it really felt like you were staying in someone’s home. Delicious food and excellent hospitality we will definitely return.

Das allerschönste Hotel, das wir in Sri Lanka besucht haben! Tolle Architektur im Stil vonGeoffrey Bawa, mit vielen Bildern von Laki Senanayake. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, Eric ist ein sehr hilfsbereiter und herzlicher Host. Seine Mitarbeiter ebenso. Das Frühstück ist unglaublich reichhaltig mir europäischen und srilankischen Gerichten. Der Blick aufs Meer ist ein Traum und das Schwimmen im so klaren Wasser unübertroffen. Das Hotel ist sehr abgelegen und ruhig. Es hat jedoch ein paar kleine Restaurants in der Nähe und Eric organisiert jederzeit ein Tuktuk für Ausflüge. danke!
Da noch nicht Saison ist, sieht man bei Strandspaziergängen viel durch vergangene Sturmfluten angeschwemmten Plastikmüll, der noch nicht fertig weggeräumt ist. rund ums Hotel ist der Strand sehr gepflegt.
Beautifully decorated intimate hotel in an outstanding location. The staff are warm and friendly
Nothing!
L'emplacement face à la plage et à Pigeon Island. Le personnel attentif et attentionné. La pisicine. La vue de la chambre.
C'était clairement le logement le plus cher de notre road trip père-fille et vraiment pas le meilleur...rapport qualité prix très décevant. Beaucoup de travaux en cours (pots de peinture dans les parties communes, balustrade cassée, bassin au pied des chambres à deux tiers vides. Bref un standing pas à la hauteur du prix demandé.
Nice building and very friendly staff. Food and location are very good.
The beach is clean in front of the property, but full of plastic waste only little further.
Très beau logement sur une magnifique plage privative. Joli lieu pour finir des vacances sous mode farniente
RAS
Une véritable pépite en bord de mer et avec des installations très agréables. Le personnel est très professionnel et accueillant. La cuisine est également très fine. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.
Tout a été parfait!
The hotel is in a quiet area right on the beach. Our room had a plunge pool and ocean view, amazing size and facilities, very private and comfortable! The breakfast is just amazing and every single staff member is kind and hard working to ensure a pleasant stay for the guests. I would absolutely be back. The aspect that makes this place world class and won my heart is the amazing care that is taken of the local community and animal welfare by providing a safe space and for many strays without them being trouble for the guests whatsoever. This is what kindness and corporate social responsibility epitomises and it only brings me joy to know I have chosen to spend my money in a place that takes this amazing care. I can hope that the hotel owner keeps improving this aspect as it speaks volumes for how it's run. And I can only praise Eric for how he manages the hotel and every daily activity, as well as providing information to guests when needed. I didn't learn everyone else's name from the staff, but between the chef, the restaurant staff and the cleaners, everyone was amazing and exceeded expectations with their way of working. Keep up the great work!
The location is very isolated, you need transport to get anywhere outside the hotel. Not that I didn't like it as this seclusion is what we chose the place for, but it may not be for everyone! However, there is no better place to stay if you want beach and quiet.
Personeel was heel erg begaan en vriendelijk. Zeer proactief. Heerlijke ruime kamer met plunge pool met uitzicht op zee. Ook hier weer veel (wilde) dieren en vogels
For Booking .com review Despite the cloudy day on arrival & rough seas, the view from the property straight out to Pigeon Island was breathtaking. This small hotel is a little gem and represents laid back island beach life perfectly. Every room made the most of the view with vibrant soft furnishings & interesting art work . The beach in front of the property was well maintained. The staff, always had a smile for us, and happy to help with our random requests. Despite its remote location they organised our washing to be taken & collected by Tuk Tuk which was such a relief after 2 weeks of being on the road. Rooms Spacious immaculate room with a huge comfy bed, direct view out to the ocean & reassuring mosquito nets Powerful rain shower in the huge bathroom. We woke up early to take advantage of the ocean view & watching the wildlife. One morning woken early by Monkeys on our roof and saw so many birds. Food The breakfasts were huge ( 5 courses) and super tasty, we also ate dinner there and on our last night had the whole fish for 2. Dining on the terrace looking up at the stars & hearing the lapping ocean was a tonic for the soul. This place helps you to slow down …after dinner sitting in comfort flicking through the coffee table books on Sri Lanka wildlife was how we finished our evenings. We also loved The pool to cool down in The shy cats & friendly dogs We were touched by this place & felt sad on leaving such a hidden gem
Not a lot!
Sehr gepflegte kleine Ressort-Anlage mit Zimmern im Hauptgebäude und mehreren einzelnen Bungalows. Die Bungalows (wir waren in einem) sind großzügig geschnitten, teilweise mit einem separaten, kleinen Außen-Pool ausgestattet, die Einrichtung entspricht gehobenem Landhausstil. Die Anlage hat einen direkten Zugang zum (nicht immer sauberen) Strand! Das Frühstück wird serviert und ist sehr vielfältig, die Küche ist hervorragend (Dinner). Der Service zuvorkommend.
Die Anlage liegt etwas abseits und sehr ruhig, aber auch etwas einsam, da es im näheren Umfeld fast nichts gibt. Für ein paar sehr ruhige und abgeschottete Urlaubstage sicher perfekt, ansonsten wäre ein (Miet-)Wagen sehr zu empfehlen.
Un hôtel à taille humaine où on ne se marche pas dessus, isolé du monde extérieur. Une chambre tout confort face à la mer (litterie super confortable, linge de maison et de bain moelleux), en prime la douche extérieure hyper agréable. La plage à 20 mètres et la piscine ! Un petit déjeuner délicieux mélangeant les plats Sri Lankais et continentaux. Mention spéciale pour le plateau de fruits de mer sur la terrasse face à la mer! Merci au personnel aimable et réactif. On ne peut que recommander
Rien, on aurait aimé rester plus longtemps ...
Friendly staff, large room with super view great breakfasts
Le style et le personnel l’environnement naturel.
Un petit Netoyage quotidien de la plage serait un vrai plus .
Quiet and peaceful.
Nothing was too much trouble for the hotel staff; we loved the place.
Absolutely nothing at all
What a serene location. Out of the way and away from the hustle but with direct access to a beautiful deserted beach. Very friendly staff who went above and beyond for me on my birthday, organising a birthday cake and seafood platter on the house! Eric and Deva make you feel like family.
A wonderful oasis of calm after a very busy 10 days. Exceptional service from Eric and all the staff, super friendly and helpful. We stayed 13-17 jan 26 considered off season for the east coast, we were warmly welcomed to the hotel which is tastefully decorated in a beach chic style. Our room ( no 4) on the first floor had a breathtaking view of the ocean. The food was fabulous and the breakfasts outstanding! ( the dogs, cats and birds got the leftovers). Although some of the excursions/ activities were not available but what we did get ws a personal service second to none even when we were the only guests! A wonderful calm and chilled out experience.
Nothing, I would have preferred not to have heard the villa next door doing Kareoke (badly) but it did not detract from the wondrful experience we had.
Extremely tasteful small hotel with a bobo chic feel, located on the beach to the north of Nilaveli. Our room was very spacious, with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The hotel has a nice pool and the breakfast was superb.
Nothing, everything was just perfect!
We had a wonderful stay at C Beyond Nilaveli. During our five-week journey through Sri Lanka, this was the most beautiful place we stayed at. As it was the low season, we received an upgrade to a suite with a private pool, only about 20 meters from the beach – absolutely amazing! We truly felt spoiled and very lucky. One of the most fun experiences was the local wildlife. The crows played a little “stealing game” with us 😄 They only managed to take one French fry and three glitter stones our children had collected. Later, we found the stones scattered around the property, which turned into a fun treasure hunt for both the kids and us. We were also visited by a family of monkeys, who joined us in the nearby trees for their lunch. The loud chewing sounds suggested that the leaves must have been very delicious – a lovely and memorable nature experience. The property is very clean, and the service could not be better. The food was excellent, especially the seafood platter, which we highly recommend. The breakfast was delicious, very generous, and offered a great variety. C Beyond Nilaveli is the perfect place to relax, live in the moment, and let your soul unwind. It is absolutely worth staying here even outside the main season. Highly recommended!
Wunderschöne Anlage, super freundliches und hilfsbereites Restaurant. Tolles Frühstück, tolles Restaurant, sehr schöner Strand.
Lakiさんの作品がたっぷりで大変満足。 食事もスタッフも大変良かった。 部屋専用のプールもよかった。

Charming team at the beautiful c beyond villa, built by Laki, the vision of the villa on the point is perfection- surrounded by estuary and sea, great shell collecting on the beach, lovely swimming
Noisy rain on the roof of the bungalow
We had an incredible stay at C Beyond! The staff were all attentive, polite and very helpful. The food was wonderful and the seafood was lovely and fresh! The hotel is in a stunning setting and our room was beautiful with great views of the beach which was on our doorstep. Would definitely stay again!

De mooie plek, de gastvrijheid en heerlijk eten. Wat een heerlijk uizicht en rustige piek om te relaxen! Het personeel doet er alles aan om het je naar je zin te maken.
We hadden pech met het weer. Pigion Island zo dichtbij maar toen helaas ver weg.
This was a nice hotel. It had pretty rooms and was very close to the beach. The beach is absolutely beautiful and so calm and relaxing.
For the money they charge, they could upgrade their service. We had freezing cold water for two nights. We also booked our stay with dinner included for $40 per night and then we were only allowed to choose from the menu with a maximum of $30 per night. After I brought this to their attention, this was resolved properly, however it is just not something you want to think about when you book a luxury hotel like this. For the money they charge, there are better options
The location is a secluded corner of Sri Lanka and with the beach on your doorstep the kids were fully entertained.
Πολύ ωραίο δωμάτιο δίπλα στην θάλασσα για ξέγνοιαστες διακοπές για πολύ ησυχία, ηρεμίακαι χαλάρωση.. Πολύ καλό φαγητό. Υπέροχη επιλογή!
Υπάρχουν μερικά στοιχεία μη καλής συντήρησης. Όπως στα φώτα, στους διακόπτες του ρεύματος, στο air condition κ.τ.λ. Με λίγη προσοχή από τους ιδιοκτήτες μπορεί να γίνει τέλειο. Υπερβολικά ακριβό για αυτό που προσφέρει.
Das Hotel liegt direkt am Meer und am Kanal. Super Strand und toller Pool. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und das Essen der Hammer; die Seafoodplatte ein Traum! Die sehr verspielte Einrichtung lädt zum Bleiben ein.
Es gab nichts zu bemängeln!
Perfect for what we wanted and a really good value room, decided to extend our stay. The location is amazing if you want a peaceful time near the beach. We were upgraded to one of the rooms with a private pool and would highly recommend, super private and has an unspoiled view of the beach, amazing for sunrise! Awesome breakfast and evening meals we ate at the hotel were fresh and great quality, a little expensive but service and location made it worth it.
Een prachtig kleinschalig designhotel gelegen aan een heerlijk rustig zandstrand met goede ligbedden. Ook de tuin en het zwembad lagen er keurig verzorgd bij. Ruime kamers, sfeervol ingericht met ruim balkon. Op 5 min afstand met tuktuk naar het dorp Nilaveli.

When we arrived, we were immediately served a welcome drink, which was just what we needed after the long journey. Then we were pleasantly surprised to hear that we would be getting rooms with a private pool. The beers after our dives tasted even better while relaxing there. Breakfast was excellent and came with some delicious Sri Lankan specialties. They also made sure there were vegetarian options for us for dinner. The rooms themselves were very spacious and well equipped. The property and direct access to the private beach were fantastic. There were hardly any other people around, so we practically had the beach to ourselves. We can only say a big thank you, it was absolutely wonderful, and we would definitely come back. Highly recommended!
That we had to leave
Der Strand
Das Personal konnte kaum Englisch, daher war die Kommunikation sehr schwer. Das Essen war sehr überteuert, für die Qualität. Teilweise war das Fleisch nicht durch. Das BBQ war sehr schlecht, mehrheitlich war alles verbrannt. Die Unverträglichkeiten wurde mehrmals vergessen, sodass man lange aufs zweite Essen warten musste. Wir waren tauchen und haben explizit gesagt, das Frühstück muss in 8:15 Ready sein - das wurde 2 mal vergessen, sodass wir sehr im Stress waren.
The hotel setup is simply amazing. The style of tropical modernism and the illustrations by a famous architect make you feel at home in your own luxurious villa. We had ocean view from our bed and couldn’t get enough of it. We also had the beach almost to ourselves and the tranquil water with the shallow shore is perfect to chill in the water. The team is amazing and organized snorkeling trips for us. The food (Tuna and other fish as well as Sri Lankan food) was equally great and we really would love to come back.
