Really nice staff and a beautiful place to stay. Had a great time here☺️
Such a lovely hotel located right on the beach, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be slightly outside of Hiriketiya. Due to its location it is very quiet and peaceful. There are sun loungers on the beach as well as by the pool. It is super easy to get into the main town by tuktuk or a 30 minute walk. The staff are lovely and so attentive if you need a bite to eat I would recommend their pizza which are delicious. We loved our stay here and would 100% come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Smeralda. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and beautifully appointed – ideal for families. The property has plenty of space to relax, including a great pool and garden area making it perfect for both kids and adults.
The location is unbeatable – right on stunning Dikwella Beach, with ocean just steps away. It’s also an easy walk into the town of Dikwella and other great local bars, cafes, and restaurants.
The food at Casa Smeralda was another highlight – the breakfast was delicious, and the lunch/dinner menu offered plenty of tasty options. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, making us feel right at home.
We truly didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return. Highly recommended!
Vi hadde forventa mykje meir for prisen på overnattinga og bilda som er lagt ut. Veldig dyrt og resturanten som tilhører er dobbel så dyr som andre i meir populære områder også.
Veldig mange gatehunder som går rundt og går også inn på rommet ditt. Vi hadde valgt ein anna plass
Vi ankom sent pga trafikk. Hotellet sendte oss underveis en WhatsApp melding og lurte på når vi ankom. Flott gest. Fine rom, veldig god og personlig service. God beliggenhet på flott strand, rolig område. God restaurant med hyggelig betjening. Veldig trivelig at eier (Andrea) kom over for å hilse på oss. Vi hadde behov for transport til Unawatuna etter vårt opphold, det ordnet hotellet på kort varsel. Tusen takk og mange anbefalinger fra oss👍
