SURF N SPICE - HIRIKETiYA

Super nice room, noice was not a problem. Staff was amazing, my girlfriend was sick and they sent a guy who spent an hour finding a thermometer. Value for money 10/10 - staff 10/10

One of the noisiest hotels we have ever stayed at. Music playing till well past midnight, dogs barking all night, the staff was sitting outside our room talking and playing videos on their phone very late. Construction of a new hotel just next to us which started work at 07:00, the staff was also brushing and cleaning outside from very early hours, and the room has no soundproofing, it was getting comical just how much noice could come from one place at one point. Have never slept so bad in a hotel before as we did these two nights. Room looks nothing like the pictures and is much more worn and torn. Super friendly staff and good food! Also great location! AC worked great.

I must be honest at first I was a bit sceptical about staying in this place. The pictures just didn’t make me feel like it would be a place I want to stay at. So I booked just a few days and then I ended up extending my stay and I stayed here for two weeks I absolutely loved it. The guys that work here were always so attentive and anything I needed or wanted just to make my stay more comfortable. They would always try to get for me. I am so grateful for everyone who works here. I felt safe. I felt taken care of. I will definitely be back. I miss it here every day.

Clean room, great food, amazing friendly and helpful staff!

I had an absolutely wonderful three-night stay at Surf n Spice in Hiriketiya. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was top notch—every member of the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. One of the things I loved most is that the hotel is locally owned and run by a group of friends. Supporting local businesses is important to me, and you can truly feel the care and passion they put into the place. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and had all the basic necessities you need for a relaxing stay, including a comfy bed, air conditioning, and warm water in the shower. Simple, clean, and exactly what you need after a day at the beach. The food was excellent throughout my stay, with the grilled butter fish being a standout—absolutely delicious and highly recommended! Breakfast was also a highlight: each morning you can choose an item from the brunch menu, and the options were fantastic. I tried three different dishes over my stay, and every single one was great. A special mention goes to the hotel’s two adopted dogs, Surf and Spice—they were incredibly adorable, friendly, and added so much charm to the stay. The location is perfect—peaceful and calm, yet ideally situated between Dikwella Beach and Hiriketiya Beach, making it easy to enjoy both. Overall, I’m very happy I chose Surf n Spice and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others.
