+I had a really peaceful stay at Da Grea. The room is simple and humble, but it has everything I needed, including towels and all the essentials to feel comfortable. What I loved the most was the outdoor space. It’s calm, beautiful, and perfect if you need a quiet place to work online or just slow down. The beach is only a 3-minute walk away and feels almost private, very peaceful, not crowded, and perfect to disconnect. The hotel t's quite far from the town but it's not a problem you can rent a bike or scooter. But what truly made this place special was the host, Roshinton. He is one of the kindest people I met in Sri Lanka, always caring, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. This felt like the perfect place to pause while working remotely and enjoy a slower rhythm of life. I will definitely come back one day 🤍

+Close to the beach and it’s nice to walk along the beach to Nilaveli beach (ca. 1 h). The owner serves nice local breakfast and dinner after request.
−The property is quite remote, but therefore quiet; no problem to commute with TukTuk.

“Very good”
+Quiet location close to a quiet beach. Good place to rest. Dinner 1500. Can recommend.
−Due to the fact that it is not a very touristic place, the beach is not super clean but still better than most of the places in Sri Lanka.

+We really enjoyed our stay with Tina's family at the guesthouse. First of all everyone was extremely friendly. The property is large with lots of shade and friendly animals, 3 cute little dogs who enjoyed walking us to the beach. The location is a bit remote and rural, it is very quiet and we made the most of our stay there by taking long walks on the beach every day. You can easily walk to Nilavelli beach which is lovely, it takes about 1 hour and you can go for a dip on the way to cool off. You can also rent a motorbike if you want to discover the area, the hosts helped us arrange a scooter for a day but in the end we had so much more fun walking. Most importantly the food was INCREDIBLE. Tina's mom is a great chef and we got to taste lots of delicious currys, dals, chutneys and they even got hoppers for us when we asked for it. We are very very grateful for this experience. The room was comfortable enough, the bed a little small for my partner who is very tall but it was okay. If you prefer you can also book the aircon room. We had a room with a fan and when we slept with windows open it was doable with the heat. This week that we stayed here will stay forever in our hearts. Tha
−It was a great experience overall and thank you!

“Incredible value for money, delicious food and 15mins from the main town”
+Incredible hotel! Great value for money! Super comfortable rooms with AC and the food was delicious! String hoppers topped with the usual + eggplant! We loved it! And constantly had fruit provided to us! Lovely people (and puppies) to stay with! Also had a really nice outdoor space to relax in, under the coconut trees so you are well hidden from the sun. A short 15 minute ride into town, was perfect for us who like to enjoy the peace and quiet of rural Sri Lanka! Couldn’t recommend this stay more!

“Good”
+Pretty secluded and quiet, 5 minutes walk to the beach! Staff was very nice and there is a mosquito net over the bed. Easy parking
−Restaurant was closed but it didn't say on the page so I had to go out to get food and the road is not super nice ( tuk tuk ). No hot water in the shower... there was a heater and everything but it wasn't making a difference.

+Cerca de la playa y el hombre es amable !
−Está sucio, había sapos y cucarachas en la habitación y mucho de hormigas. No estaba tan limpia la habitación. Además para llegar si tenéis tuk tuk tenderlo cuenta que no está bien estado del suelo. Había tierras.
