Ocean Gateway Dickwella

Surfing and snorkelling and the beach bars.

Nothing

Location

Room is very basic

The hotel is directly located on a beautiful quiet beach and has a beautiful environment. Mahesh, the manager and his team are trying to support whenever they can. Mahesh booked me very nice treatments and gave me a transfer with his scooter whenever possible. Very good and friendly guy. You can trust him and never need to have a feeling it is about money. It is about guest relations. I will come back☺️

Coffee and WiFi could be better but no problem, many spots around

Excellent location, just on the ocean shore You can hear the waves sitting in the room The room was a bit of outdated There was a big spiderweb under the table But the rest was ok, comfortable bed, AC, big bathroom with a good water pressure WiFi worked well when it was turned on 😅 The only thing was that my shoe disappeared, we always left shoes outside the room so not to bring sand inside. So one of them disappeared, the staff couldn’t help

Ocean Gateway Dickwella was our second destination in Sri-Lanka after Kosgoda in the west. Located not far from the main Dickwella beach (which we didn’t like, by the way) in Bathigama Bay, it is a real gem of Sri-Lankan shore. A stunning property right on the beach with a hypnotizing view on the Mighty Ocean. A really nice and quiet place for introverts and those who don’t like crowds and loud music. We stayed in a room for 4 persons without direct view to the ocean, but it’s not really needed. You can walk out of the room and sit in a comfortable chair watching the beauty. The room is nice, the beds are comfortable, the bathroom is big and there was always hot (with strong pressure!) water in the shower. It would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room, though, but not critical. A kettle, hair dryer and socket adaptors were provided by the owner upon the arrival. The host, Mahesh, is the most wonderful person! He is Mr. Cook, Mr. Manager and Mr. Pleasant Companion in one face! Although I ended up not liking Sri-Lankan cuisine too much, the Devilled chicken and fried bananas were wonderful! 150 meters from the hotel is the Turtle Beach where we spent a lot of time snorkeling. There are also a couple of café’s on the beach near-by and a small food store just across the street from the hotel. Thank you for the wonderful time we spent at Ocean Gateway Dickwella!
