“Very Relaxing and peaceful.”
+The location was excellent, right on the beach, so you heard the ocean all the time, which drowned out the noise from all the traffic beeping. All the staff were excellent. It was a very relaxing location and very private as there are only a handful of rooms so we had the place to ourselves most of the time.
−The place is a little bit tired. It needs a paint job and our shower head leaked from the roof. The games room air conditioner needs to be re-gased or replaced. Our room was the one with the weird glass window into the bathroom which let light into the room all the time. All the TV's are installed too low on the wall to watch. Booking.com had also been hacked so we received scam messages on whatapp.

+Absolutely stunning stay , everything from the service to the atmosphere was beyond expectations. The villa was spotless, beautifully designed, and felt so peaceful and private. The staff were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help with a smile. Every detail was perfect, and you can truly feel the luxury and care throughout the property. One of the best stays I’ve had, highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, relaxation, and a memorable experience.

“Amazing property with great viewss”
+Sielen diva is a nice boutique hotel with just 7 rooms, practically a private beach(not swimmable), with great great views from the room. Protip: take room on the first floor, preferably to the left most. The property is 2 min tuktuk to turtle beach which has amazing turtle gracing it. Ahangama is 10 mons away from tuktuk. The staff is good though not everyone is not well versed in English but sometimes you would be hard pressed to find someone around and the whatsapp number takes time to respond. There were times when we were eating and no one was around to attend to us. The food was really really good and all credits to Tushar. Like the best Sri Lankan food we had was here. Special shoutout to their housekeeping staff, they are really good, proactive and willing to clean the room multiples times a day. The property, room(spacious) and bathroom are extremely tastefully done.
−The staff goes out after 9:30PM-10PM and last order is around the same time. So nothing to do in property after that. The breakfast is one dish per person and portion controlled. Most of the days this was not issue and staff added some more portion basis our request but in limited quantity.

“Heavenly”
+Ultra-luxury on the Sri Lankan south coast. I cannot overstate how fantastic every aspect of this hotel was. It was so nice that it was actually rather difficult to justify going anywhere else! The staff were phenomenal and I do want to specifically call out the chef who made exquisite food to order. Genuinely better than anything I’ve had in a restaurant.
−The beach, while gorgeous and private, wasn’t safe to swim from because of currents. It isn’t something the property can control but I’m including in the review for awareness!

+We loved the place - it's in a quiet location not far from Unawatuna by Tuktuk with a lovely beach at the end of the garden. The staff, room, food and cocktails were all spectacular. It's a real statement design but that doesn't stop it feeling comfy and homely. We explored Turtle Beach, Unawatunam and Galle - all beautiful
−The pool was too hot but Im guessing that's hard to avoid!

“True luxury boutique stay.”
+The absolutely wow factor view on arrival, stunning minimalist architecture. Wonderful staff - professional and caring. Beautiful warm pool and very comfortable sun loungers. Spacious chic bedroom, high quality bed linen. Very good in house catering - really no need to leave the property. More like staying at a very wealthy friend’s staffed home than a hotel! All supremely relaxing.
−Lacked a fridge or kettle in the room. Limited availability from the wine list. Sea too rough to swim in.

“Top quality, intimate and peaceful hotel, in a stunning ocean location”
+The location is wonderful: spectacular view but private and utterly tranquil. Extremely comfortable room, super shower, and excellent breakfast. Good restaurant too. Most of all, the staff are unfailingly charming, attentive, efficient, friendly and helpful. This is a boutique hotel with only seven rooms, very quiet and private, and everything is top quality.
−A fridge/minibar in the room should be standard in a hotel of this quality. We could have done with one. And it was disappointing that the cove in front of the hotel is not much good for swimming because of the rocks. That said, the hotel's pool, though narrow, is long enough for a good swim.
