Bad smell in bathroom - came back a few hours after housekeeping cleaned drain. No sea views. Price point way out compared to other properties for facilities, accomodation, food and service. Reliant on high season and availability to justify prices. Had it been 1/2 to 3/4 of paid that would be appropriate for quality and my review would have been very different. At this price much more expected.

Beachfront breakfast in restaurant. Very spacious family room. Staff friendly and kind. Property close to beach.

Breakfast

Location was great, right on the beach. Room was fine, except the sheets were very sandy and the room was not refreshed each day. The purchased food and drink was ideal, but the breakfast was poor, limited selection and not readily replenished, basic and cold.

Stayed in August 2024

Overpriced for facilities and service provided. No hot water from electric shower. Decor aged and in poor state of repair. Breakfast was a limited choice compared to other hotels in the area.

Great location to the beach restaurants and water-sports providers.

The breakfast at the beach restaurant is very basic and was unfortunately one of the worst we had during our 3 weeks traveling Sri Lanka.

The hotel is located right on the beach and offers sunbeds, umbrellas and beach towels for the guests. The staff is really friendly and especially the housekeeping staff is super nice. The room was very clean and was also cleaned daily during our stay.

So many service staff but slow service no heat in the shower

Direct access to the beach - morning restaurant staff were fantastic the service to get anything on the beach was somewhat frustrating

Greeting at reception upon arrival . Someone who didn't speak English, who when I told him my name, repeated it and stared at me as if I was an alien. Then the Manager arrived and sorted everything out. Room description on booking.com did not Match actual room, which led to Initial misunderstanding . While the food was great, Staff have to learn to bring Coffee or tea at breakfast right away instead of bringing it only when serving the food.

We had two move several times as the a/c kept breaking down. The staff dealt with the situation immediately, but considering we had 2 nights without a/c and had to move twice eventually to a room without a window, a acknowledgment in the form of a discount, bottle of wine or basket of fruit would have been nice. In saying this it would not stop me from staying at this hotel again. Things break down in this climate and the staff did the best they could.

The two best things about the hotel is the proximity to the beach (it’s directly in front of the hotel) and the staff. The beach is spotless and clean and the staff were all so friendly. All the staff from our room staff which always made the room spotlessly clean after servicing the room, the gardeners who maintained a oasis of green, reception staff who greeted us everyday and the amazing team in the restaurant. We only stayed 5 days but the staff became friends who were only concerned that we enjoyed our time in Sri Lanka.

Breakfast is a waiter-led meal and portions are more than ample, even for enthusiastic diners. There's the option of either a "western" or Sri Lankan menu; we chose western and enjoyed plates of fresh fruit, glasses of freshly squeezed fruit juice, eggs (omelette and fried), toast, pancakes and tea. We frequently had a light lunch on the beach served from the restaurant; these, too, were tasty and always served with a warm smile.

The room was described as DeLuxe when at best it was standard. Poor air conditioning very noisy and very cold couldn’t set it at a decent temperature. Facilities in the room as described did not exist. Breakfast was poor.

The location was excellent. The housekeeper was lovely and couldn’t do anymore for us whereas reception was poor and unwelcoming with a scruffy whiteboard behind it.

Breakfast was a bit basic

The staff was extremely nice and supportive, and the possibility to get free seafront sunbeds on the beach was great!

Exceptional in all ways! We adored this oasis on the beach. The sun chairs and carousals added an amazing touch of class and comfort to the incredible beach infront. The staff could not do any more for us.. always there to ensure we were having the best time. There were other hotels/restaurants along the beach front but we ate in our hotel every night. The grill was amazing and such fresh food. One of the older staff members( can’t remember his name) was exceptional and made us feel just at home. We didn’t want to leave!! Paradise!

It was a very nice stay. The staff of the hotel and restaurant made sure we felt at home. They were very helpful, kind and friendly. A huge thanks to the receptionists, the manager and all other guys for such warm welcome. The hotel and the restaurant are located right on the beach, just a few meters to walk. In the evening you could have dinner right on the beach. They had western breakfast and traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. It was good breakfast with local fruits and freshly squeezed juice. Special thanks to the Chief for vary tasty dishes for dinner.

It seems that the resort as such is showing its age and could have some maintenance (paint, …). Also, the restaurant could be better. The breakfast is okay but nothing very special. We decided to mostly eat somewhere else - but those places are around the corner and should definitely not prevent from going there.

What we liked most about the resort is the direct connection to the beach. The restaurant also serves food and drinks when laying at the beach. The rooms are clean and very well prepared. Nishanthan is an artist who folds the towels in a very special way - which we really liked. Also, the whole staff is very welcoming and super friendly! :)

The room was quite basic - we stayed 4 nights and it only got cleaned once. Had to keep asking for fresh towels in the room etc.

Location was incredible - right on the beach!! Fresh beach towels everyday. The staff were so helpful, and went above and beyond. The restaurant was fab - lots to eat and always happy to see you. Sunloungers right outside the hotel and staff always coming over to take drink and food orders.

Travel a lot and there are always some things good and some things less good about a place. Blue Sand had got all the important stuff right - comfy large bed, great air con, good pressure and hot water shower, comfortable sun loungers with various other seating options too, helpful and friendly staff, beachfront location and clean environment. Perfect for the last few days of our trip and a small enough resort to not feel like another tourist in a big resort. We had the best time and hope this gorgeous spot stays this way.
