Breakfast and dinners were fantastic 🥳 Can highly recommend both the devilled fish and fish curry. The design of the bedroom, bathroom and balcony was really tasteful and very well done as bungalow style. The fantastic garden making you feel in a different world was a treat. Not to mention the beach which was less than 500 meter away 🌊. A perfect beach if you like a bit of space, and not overcrowded by tourists and hotels and restaurants sitting on the beach front. The staff were really attentive and nice and Mr Nelson’s helpfulness and care made my stay fantastic. Last thing, I want to emphasize was the cleanliness of the garden and especially my bungalow. Having travelled in Sri Lanka for 3 weeks, living at more than 12 different hotels, La Perla stood out on all parameters.

The location is perfect, just few meters to the beach and very close to many restaurants. The room was very nice, very clean and with AC and hot water, which was perfect. The guy and the woman were very nice and friendly people, helping in everything we could need and more. And then the breakfast was very good, the best one we had in all the travel around Sri Lanka.

This family-run compound, set off the main road and nestled in the forest, is an absolute delight. The staff, including all family members, are friendly, warm, and happy to help with whatever you need. The food is fantastic; it is all homecooked, and they will facilitate whatever you want. We are both vegetarian and the food that was provided was the best we had eaten in Sri Lanka. The nearby beach, accessible by free tuk-tuk ride, is simply the most magnificent, untrammelled beach I have ever seen. Spotless, golden sands, warm blue water and stunning scenery. The rooms are enormous with comfortable beds, clean (outdoor!) bathroom and a lovely porch. The entire resort was spotless. We spent 11 days in Sri Lanka in total, across a range of different style accommodations, 5* to 2* hotels and this was easily the best place we stayed.

This place is an absolute gem! I arrived here with no expectations and was stunned to find a beautiful, upmarket , immaculately clean villa, 5 minutes walk from the beach . The owner cannot do enough to make your stay memorable which included driving us to a spectacular fish restaurant in his tuk tuk. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had since being here in Sri Lanka in the most fabulous,most enormous four poster bed I’ve ever been in ! Value for money is simply outstanding!

We loved the Red Coconut Villa, everything was perfect. The garden is amazing, like an oasis. Everything is so tastefully done, it couldn’t be better. The beach is across the road, so quiet. We enjoyed our last 2 days before we went home to England and it was the best place to finish. Thank you for everything! Paul + Monika

I couldn't speak high enough about this hotel. Everything was perfect. The property is new and super clean, comfy beds and very modern building. In addition to your room and balcony area, you will have entrance to a large and very well equipped kitchen, with large refrigerator and everything you need to feel like at home. If you are a family with multiple rooms, as we were, then the breakfast will also be served there. Talking about breakfast- the hotel manager arranged a very delicious breakfast each morning and there were always papaya, watermelon, but every morning we could taste some new fruit and some new local dish, so this was beyond any expectation that I could have. I have not seen such a breakfast anywhere before, and this was all prepared just for our group of 4 people! There are 6 rooms at the hotel, and it is situated a bit outside the center, but we actually walked there from the city center some evenings, and it was a 15-20 minutes walk, also to the beach area. It was absolutely quiet place, surrounded mostly by local homes, so in the morning time you wake up to birds song. Pool is super clean, and as we were staying on ground floor, it really felt as if we had a private pool most of the time. The hotel manager was always there to help us with any question, he was always ready to take us to restaurant, beach, shopping, ayurveda treatments etc with the tuktuk and all this for a very reasonable price, almost for free I would say. He arranged river safari for a very good price, and was willing to help us with any other question. We stayed at 8 different hotels during our stay in Sri Lanka, but this hotel is the best, and it is probably the best place that I have ever stayed at. Looking forward to come back there one day!

    This property was a real oasis on the other side of the railway track. It was luxurious, had lovely decor, had a good pool, had great hosts and was excellent value. The breakfasts were fantastic and our host Nelson cooked us 2 delicious meals on our 2 nights there - the food was so good that we just didn’t want to eat anywhere else. Right up there with all the places we stayed in during our Sri Lankan holiday. A great find!

    Lovely room hosted by a lovely family. The room is spacious and comfotable with a quiet a/c. When I first arrived, the wifi wasn't working that well, I mentioned it to the host, and he called Digitel and fixed it in 5 minutes! Then there was a huge storm and the electricity went out, and they were in my room in no time turning on the fuses. No problem was too big for this family! I also loved my breakfasts here-- I have all kinds of food issues-- low carb, no gluten, and the dad happily created healthy and delicious breakfasts for me!

    What a wonderful place. We felt so welcome. The room was lovely and clean, and we had a quite large outdoor private area. The host is very friendly and serviceminded. She recommend the best restaurants and made good deals for us for tours and transport. The guesthouse is in a quiet area not far from the most wonderful beach you could imagine. You just have to go down the road, cross the railway at the station and go through the park....We highly recommend a stay and would gladly return of we came to the area again
