    We had AC that while switched on was dropping the water and made noise while dropping on the floor. We called a reception to fix it and the guy promised that they will fix it day after and no one came. The service offer is good on other hand the staff is not proactive at all and when we wanted something we needed to look for someone.

    The hotel is very nice, right at the beach with great swimming pool. We got very spacious room with honeymoon decoration which was very much appreciated. The hotel offers also massage treatments. We had full body massage and it was great.

    Everything was top notch!

    We liked everything about this stay, from the moment we arrived until we left. We got a free upgrade to the best room on the property, was allowed to check in early and check out late, even a birthday gesture. There were dogs around the pool area and they were so sweet. Food and drinks were amazing and reasonably priced. Great views and slightly away but not too far from the busy main strip. Would definitely come back!! 🌴🍹🐢🐾🧡

    The room wasn’t clean enough, few bugs going around there. The A.C shutting down all the time. We have requested a private room for honeymoon vacation and to prepare the room for that and unfortunately didn’t get any of this.

    Medium size hotel, very good managed by Head manager Jeanette, who helps in any questions by the best way. Good food and service in hotel restaurant. Our impression, one of the best hotels in Hiccaduva. Maybe the best.

    First of all, the stay was great. We unfortunately got covid-19 positive and our trip got extenced due so. During this, Jeanette was the most helpfull and sweetest person you could imagine! Also, they have a very sweet jeweller, Ashker, who has the most beautiful sapphires, which they trade from the mines. He even took us out to see, how they made the different kind if jewellery.

    What a treasure this hotel is. Wonderful owner, amazing staff and the location is just perfect... Away from the main Hikkaduwa beach which is quite dirty this hotel is situated right on the beach of a beautiful sandy stretch of beach which is great for swimming and experiencing the waves.... Surf schools are a 10 minute walk away on the beach. The food is great and the restaurant staff courteous and helpful. The cleaning is staff is just amazing, they service the room every day and the hotel is spotlessly clean and modern. Run by a Canadian owner this hotel is a little paradise to stay in...

    The best hotel I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. We were in 4-5 hotels and that’s our best experience! great, friendly and helpful stuff. they really understand good English and we can understand each other easily. swimming pool was the best! clean pool and clean rooms! Wonderful location and view on the ocean, in less than one minutes from the pool! I love this sooo much! Thank you!

    It was a wonderful stay at Sapphire, i would recommend it 100%. Warm and welcoming staff, from the owner, sevice staff, housekeeping to security. All of them always try to fullfill the wishes of the guests. The food and the fresh juices were excellent, espacially enjoying them on the terrasse with ocean view and the noise of the waves. The beach in front of the hotel is clean and the sea clearblue.

    Upon payment, we were charged a significantly higher exchange rate (USD / LKR) than was valid that day - the hotel did not accept the complaint, only an excuse for the bank (the price difference was refunded only after the complaint with the Booking.com). Our feeling is that the hotel is trying to transfer to the customer the commission that pays to Booking. Breakfast - the biggest disappointment of the whole stay. Breakfast did not match the price (quality both at the hostel with a price of 15USD per night). In all breakfast variants, you usually get toast and eggs (overcooked), but you hardly get butter, but you have to talk about it. If you don't order breakfast includink the stay, you will find many places in the area where you can get a much better and better breakfast for a given price. Plus - you are in Sri Lanka and the hotel doesn't have green tea? The hotel does not comply with any Covid measures - it may suit someone, but we were unpleasantly surprised.

    Bohužel jediné co mohu hodnotit kladně, je umístění hotelu a klidná pláž (v době naší návštěvy způsobeno Covidem a minimem turistů).

    Bed was a little hard. But hotel beds always are!

    Loved this little hotel. Great location just a short walk or fast tuk tuk ride into Hikkaduwa. The staff here are simply amazing. Rooms very clean. Dining options very good. Extremely well managed and super friendly and efficient team. Janette and your fabulous team you really made my stay in SL so great. Super personal service.
