There was nothing we did not like about the Asian Jewell, and if you needed any help or advice the owner Dale Mahon and all of the staff were brilliant.

The Asian Jewell is the perfect place for a chilled holiday ..Lovely staff who couldn't do more to make us welcome, Fantastic food, right near everything including an amazing beach, shops and bars. They can organise drivers for airport pick ups and tailor made trips. We can't wait to go back there.

Limited hot water in the bathroom. The rooms are dated but nothing to put you off. Loads of strays on the path to the main road. I’d have loved to have seen more authentic Sri Lankan cuisine available but at the same time, you can get that down the road.

The pool was lovely for the kids. It was set back from the hustle and bustle. The service was fantastic. They were able to sort out our laundry and the food was delicious.

The fact that my time to leave came around to quick...

The Owner Del, and his staff, went above and beyond my expectations in making sure my stay was exceptional. Nothing was a chore but a pleasure to help and welcome me into the Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel. Thanks go to all, for making me feel part of the Sri Lankan experience. I will most definitely stay here in the future.

Nothing, our stay far exceeded our expectations.

This is a 3 star hotel with a 5 star for location, friendliness of staff, food and hospitality. The menu had a large range in choice from Asian and Indian curries to pastas and even English pub specials plenty to suit everyone. Our room was very spacious with a large wet room and bath, a large balcony with an uninterrupted view of the lagoon. A well looked after pool with comfortable sun beds enables you to enjoy the peace and tranquility this hotel offers. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to ensure your stay was enjoyable. The owner was more than helpful with suggestions on the best excursions and will happily arrange and book for you. The beach is less than a 10 minute Tuk Tuk ride away and cost 500 SLR . The abundance of wildlife observed from your balcony and surrounding area is amazing. It's totally worth the stay if you don't fancy the hustle and bustle at the beach front 24/7.

A fantastic hotel, really a hidden gem. From arriving to the hotel, meeting the owner Dale and the whole stay was amazing. Its a small, very pesonal hotel with a very nice atmosphere. The staff did an amazing job, bringng, drinks, coffee etc to our room and helping us with all kinds of things. Its not at the beach, but so close, a quick tuktuk ride away. The foos was fantastic, with a mix of European and Asian food. We highly recommend this hotel!

Nothing

We have just finished our stay at this fabulous hotel, I cannot recommend this place enough, we had a fantastic time, the best stay of our vacation. The property location is around 3km from the beach, small Tuk Tuk ride or a pleasant 30 mins walk, the place is picturesque, and the rooms are spacious and lovely, the pool was brilliant for an early morning swim, we ended up eating there every evening as the food was so good, try the house special prawn curry , you will not be disappointed, breakfast was also excellent with proper bread / toast! the best of the holiday. What also makes this place so special are the staff, from the attentive waiters Cyril and Anura, the wonderful chefs , hotel manager, and friendly cleaner, a real credit! Also thanks to the owner Dale who was so welcoming, we would love to return some day.

We genuinely have nothing to complain about. You have to visit this place!

If you are looking for a calm escape with the nature as your neighbour, this is the place to be! The restaurant at the hotel is the best one according to us. This applies to any meal. The hospitality of the staff and service is impeccable.

Dated decor and bathrooms, sticky chairs, needs a refurbishment.

Siri was a kind and good host, with a lovely smile
