Lion's Rest

Perfekte Lage am Strand und phänomenale Sonnenuntergänge garantiert. Das surfen mit Lucky war eins der Highlights des Urlaubs. Der Service und das Essen (besonders der Curry-Abend) konnten vollends überzeugen. Ein klein wenig mehr Bepflanzung rings um den Pool und die Balkone würden das Hotel noch schöner machen.

I liked the location next to Coconut beach. Breakfasts are nice. Managers were super nice and caring. We liked the pool and play area.

Room was dark and smelled funny. Our room was next to kitchen, so that was a bit grumbling, lots of noises that I do not expect in a room with a little kid and with that kind of price. In two situations, the servers gave the impression that their lunch and well-being were more important than the guests'. In one situation, the floor of the room was not cleaned of broken glass within 1.5 hours. In another, the buffet platters were not refilled during breakfast, even though it was only 10:00. Overall, facility seemed worn and needs refreshment.

Our second stay at Lion’s rest, just love the location and chilled vibe Great pool and delicious food, varied menu and great breakfast options Staff are just lovely and so accommodating

Nothing that’s why we went back!

Familienfreundlich Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal Lage

From the first moment, Ayesh and his entire team made us feel incredibly welcome – almost like part of the family. Whenever we needed help, whether with airline issues, organizing transport, booking activities or getting tips about the area, they were always there and happy to assist. A real highlight was the Fish BBQ evening. The food was sensationally good, very fresh and at around 4,000 LKR per person absolutely fair. The atmosphere was relaxed and social, with surfers, backpackers and families from all over the world sharing a great evening together. We also took surf lessons with Lucky – thank you Lucky and hang loose! 🤙 Right in front of the accommodation there is a great reef break for experienced surfers, and nearby you’ll find several beautiful small bays that are surprisingly uncrowded. Only around sunset do a few people gather there – and it’s definitely worth it. Getting around was super easy thanks to the tuk-tuks waiting right outside (special thanks to Kalana 🙏) who took us comfortably and safely to places like whale watching tours, Weligama or local restaurants. For us as a family of five this stay was simply wonderful. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend Lions Rest to anyone visiting this area.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Lion’s Rest et nous recommandons vivement cet établissement. L’équipe est vraiment aux petits soins et toujours disponible. Nous nous sommes sentis très bien accueillis dès notre arrivée et tout au long du séjour. Les petits déjeuners inclus sont copieux et très bons, avec des produits frais. Il est également possible de dîner sur place le soir, ce qui est très pratique et agréable après une journée de visite ou de plage. La chambre familiale était spacieuse, très propre et parfaitement adaptée à un séjour avec enfants. L’hôtel est clairement kid-friendly, ce qui est un vrai plus pour les familles. L’emplacement est idéal, à deux pas de Coconut Beach, parfaite pour profiter du coucher de soleil, de la plage et du calme. On peut facilement se déplacer en tuk-tuk pour explorer les alentours. Nous avons aussi organisé un cours de surf pour toute la famille avec Lucky, via l’hôtel — une superbe expérience ! Un excellent choix pour séjourner dans la région

Parfait - RAS

Very friendly relaxed vibe, close proximity to everything we wanted to do. Very kid and family friendly. Safe, clean. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The food and 50 smoothies my kids ordered were delicious! 10/10

Nothing

Très bel emplacement proche d’un bon spot de reef (rock bottom) pour intermédiaires +

Très bon accueil de l’équipe !

Great location right on the beach and away from the road so it was quiet (apart from occasional dogs). Staff were lovely and great service. Brought drinks and snacks up to our balcony when we ordered at the bar. Room lovely. Private balcony was large with a great view. Bed comfortable and good shower. Breakfast was great. Water filter machine available free at all times. We hope to return!

Would have been nice to have fridge and tea making facilities in the room but the room was a bit small for that and there was access to a big communal fridge downstairs. Coffee wasn’t up to the standard of the rest of the breakfast.
