Villa 46

The first day that we checked in, the sheets and towels were all dirty. There was a bloodstain on the sheets and multiple stains on the towels. The hotel only has two breakfast options, western or Sri Lankan, and if you choose Sri Lankan you get served the exact same breakfast every morning. I asked one of the staff who served us breakfast about a good place to grab seafood and he only recommended the hotel. Its frustrating because it makes the whole thing seem like a money grab. Lastly, the service seems disorganized. We had told multiple people what we wanted for breakfast, and what time we wanted to have breakfast. But each time we showed up to have breakfast, they werent ready or had forgotten what we said the night before. The problem I have most with all these things is the price point Im paying. For $150 USD/night, I am expecting better service/cleanliness.

We booked a room in this villa to finish of our Sri Lanka trip and we were rewarded an amazing stay here The staff is very kind and helpful. We loved having chats with Thilina and he took great care of us. The rooms were very clean and spacious including hairdryer, minibar, safe etc. Being first row at the beach, you can enjoy a swim in the sea and listen to the ocean sounds while relaxing at the pool. You can opt for either English or Sri Lankan breakfast. We choose the latter and loved it (especially the coconut rotties). In the evening, you can enjoy dinner at the villa prepared by the villa chef or take a tuktuk for about 400 LKR to Hikkaduwa beach where youll find plenty restaurants at the beach as well. We can definitely recommend both.

Travel date: early June 2023 After several days spent in the stuffy Colombo, we finally got to Hikkaduwa. Here we chose the place where we will spend the main part of our vacation - Villa 46. How do you imagine paradise? If you are like me, then you will definitely like this place. Imagine a 2-storey villa with 4 spacious rooms and two common living rooms on each floor, decorated in a colonial style with a modern twist - no frills, but everything, as is customary in Asia, is made from natural, good-quality materials. When you open the heavy sliding doors from your room, you get a breathtaking view - a raging ocean expanse (this is the time of the rainy season, so the ocean is restless, although showers at most once a day do not spoil the rest at all), a rich yellow shoreline of sand and no one in sight . In the mornings, people sometimes walk or run along the coast. Sometimes the thought arises that here is a chance to finally go in for sports, start leading a healthy lifestyle and set off after them. But then these thoughts are carried away, just like all the others, somewhere far away, and you are immersed in contemplative calmness. Access from the ground floor of the villa to a small veranda and a bright blue pool. Breakfasts are served here, prepared by the hotel manager - freshly squeezed papaya juice, fruits and something hot: traditional cuisine or whatever you prefer. A couple of times we bought huge shrimp, raba and clams from the market nearby and asked them to cook it for us. Everything is very tasty and fresh. In the small kitchen of the villa, by the way, perfect order reigns. All dishes are served on good porcelain. In general, from time to time there is a feeling that you are in a different era, and this villa belongs to you. All the time of our stay (8 days, 9 nights) we were alone in the villa. Except for one day when a company of 5 girls arrived. Maybe that's why it felt that way too.
