    The neighbourhood was not nice, if you’re planning to visit the city center or move to other places, it’s not recommended.

    Literally in front of the sea. The bedroom was ok. The best thing was that it had a mini refrigerator in the room. The host nice and good breakfast!

    I have no negative thoughts on this property.

    I live that it is beachfront. You literally step out into paradise every morning. The staff is a wonderful family that truly ho above and beyond for you. The breakfast is top tier and changes everyday. The activities are much cheaper than the surrounding venues. It is a little further from the action and nightlife but it is a simple drive that’s affordable to the cities active center. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. I am so glad I found this property and the value is unmatched.

    Amazing location with the porch overlooking a quiet beach that is home to a cute dog family and some fishermen but almost no other tourists. The staff is super friendly and helpful. And it’s even in walking (or rather swimming) distance to a snorkeling spot. 10/10

    If you travel by a large SUV / Car, the last 100 meters to the hotel is bit of challenge as the access road is extremely narrow for a full-size vehicle. But, still you can drive, but be extra-cautious in that last 100 meter stretch.

    Location is a GEM. You are at the beach. Ideal point for safe sea bath and snorkeling.

    Nothing to add, we totally enjoyed our stay. If we should suggest something for an upgrade - 2 comfy sun beds for each of the 2 apartments would be a good improvement.

    Such a lovely family and host, perfect food. We have been taken care of so much, met the whole family, enjoyed great food and even a scooter to explore the area was provided for a very reasonable price. Also pick up at the airport went very well. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definately come back here. Also the beach is very nice - yes, there is some plastic from time to time but still the beach overall is clean and only very soft sand, no stones. Snorkeling is also possible directly from the beach and you can see big puffer fish, corals and many others.

    A Hidden Gem by the Sea – Peace, Dolphins, and Fresh Fish

    We had three fantastic nights at Jana’s Blue Water Corner — a truly special place run by a warm and welcoming family. The two guest rooms offer everything you need and are located directly on the beach in a picturesque fishing bay. The setting is peaceful and natural, perfect for relaxation. One of the highlights was the opportunity to join a private morning boat tour to see dolphins in the bay — a magical experience. The bay itself is perfect for swimming and snorkeling, with warm waters (30–32°C in April/May) and a rich variety of marine life. We spotted countless colorful fish among the rocks, and with a bit of luck, even sea turtles! The food and drinks offered at the guesthouse were absolutely delicious — always freshly prepared and full of variety. On our last evening, we were treated to freshly caught fish, caught the traditional way right in the bay earlier that day — a memorable and authentic experience. A heartfelt thank you to the entire family for their wonderful hospitality. We wish you all continued happiness and success — and hope to return one day!

    Everything about this accommodation is 10/10. The family are the most helpful and kind hosts. We arrived early and the hosts did a thorough cleaning of the room making sure everything was perfect before they gave it over to us. They also helped us rent a bike super quickly. The breakfast every morning is also delicious and plentiful. We were stuck inside due to rain one evening and on super short notice we were whipped up a wonderful 3 course meal. The hosts generosity truly knows no bounds. The location is incredible and looks out onto the most stunning little beach with an amazing sunrise. We would stay here again with no hesitation!

    Travelling here using a car was a bit tricky. Very narrow road and some times chairs and motorcycles are just left outside. Have to toot the horn and wait. Only downside for this place.

    Located at the end of the bay and just a few metres from the shore, middle of the bay are fishing boats and navy at the other side of the bay Beautiful sunrise and moonlight on the beach.

    Watch out for the crows. Don’t leave any food outside or they will take it within seconds of you leaving it if you’re not there.

    The beach was not very clean because the storm hit a couple of days back. The owner informed us this in advance

    The place is in front of the beach. The view is spectacular, especially in the morning. If you wake up around 5.30 am, you can see the sun rise from the horizon from the terrace. The breakfast was amazing and homemade, It was prepared by three lovely ladies .The owner is very friendly and he will help you with everything

    Even though you arrive in a very narrow street and probably think “where are we going?”, this was an incredible place to stay. You feel like living on your own private beach. The host was very friendly and wanted to make your stay as nice as possible. The breakfast was local and really good. They also offer a lot of things to do like dolphin watching, snorkeling… this was really an idyllic place and one of our favorite stays in Sri Lanka! Don’t let the location outside the city centre matter too much, a tuk tuk only costs 1000 rupees, like $3.

    Though we really liked it, you have to be aware that the surrounding area is not a tourist area. No issue for us, we walked or took a tuktuk. there is a restricted area, hence we could not use the entire beach but as the beach is still big enough, that is no issue. We did a dolphin tour, saw a lot of dolphins and it is beautiful in the morning. But in the end one has to be aware that the boats are quite fast and loud coming really close to the dolphins - we care about protecting animals and had mixed feelings that day. :)

    Great location for snorkelling and swimming, great, really warm and helpful staff, delicious local food for decent price and flexible to order. Air-conditioning, a modern bathroom, we took a boat organised by our host at the place for snorkelling, which was worth it! When we were there it was not crowded at all at the beach, only the sound of waves, fishermen and loud birds.

    Everything was good

    A clean room right in front of the beach. All day access to the small beach makes it feel like having a private beach. The beach is so tidy and with blue waters. The property is perfect for beach babies. The staff is very kind and helpful. They can arrange dolphin watching and snorkeling at affordable rates. Food is also available on request, hence, need not go far looking for a restaurant.
