Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa - with 43 Metre Saltwater Infinity Pool

After a busy trip around sri lanka, Sri Sharavi was just what we needed. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and looked after. The rooms are absolutely beautiful overlooking the ocean that has waves flowing day and night. The pool was fantastic as were the happy hour coctails. The food reminded me of early fine dining days in Australia, the fresh fish was magnificent. We liked the location , being away from the busy part of Mirrisa, but still close enough to jump in a tuk tuk to explore. Special mention to Suranga and Mudu, we loved your service and chats. Keep up the great work, Lynne-Michelle and Ian Hancock

HOTEL IS A SCAM! IT IS A GUESTHOUSE NOT 5* HOTEL. IT HAS NO STAR RATING! HOMEYMOON RUINED!!!! We booked online from the UK for our honeymoon as all booking websites stated this was a 5* hotel. We picked it due to this and it was the most expensive hotel in the area (even more than the Marriott Weligama/ we had just arrived from Anatara resort) and our longest stay. On arrival we were so underwhelmed. The property grounds were not tidy with leaves everywhere, the bathroom was run down with no amenities like a vanity or dental kit, the towels were not hotel and poor quality. The bar staff hassled us to buy drinks as we walked around. No 5* service. Breakfast was poor. We raised our concerns with the manager in the first instance and enquired about checking out early as we were on our honeymoon and had paid a lot for 5* and this was clearly not the case. The manager agreed to upgrade the room but we decided to sleep on it and decide in the morning. I then woke up with dead mosquitos on my pillow (first time in all of our Sri lanka 3 week stay) despite the mosquito net. Breakfast was poor quality with no fresh fruit and options of cappuccino at an extra charge! This is not 5*.. They had no complimentary activities like yoga, you also cannot surf on the beach! We immediately expressed checking out early due to disappointment and getting a refund for the remaining nights. The manager Kenny then stated we booked through a third party so we needed to contact them to check but had we booked directly with the hotel he would have refunded us. So we proceeded to do this. The third party agreed for a refund based on this ( we have it in writing) and said that they had made contact with the hotel and that they had agreed for a refund for us. We then proceeded to book an alternative hotel (as we had confirmation we booked the Marriot). We proceeded to get our bags and tell Kenny this, however he disputed the refund saying he had not stated this to us or third party and that he will not refund us. He called the higher manager who suggested our experience was due to booking an inferior room and 5* is subjective so we would not be refunded. It was sad and upsetting and has ruined our honeymoon. Upon checking into the Marriot, they advised us the property had no star rating we then emailed the official Sri Lankan tourism board who said the same (photos attached). Please note my other reviews I rarely leave bad reviews!

We stayed 7 nights in this “paradise” What a great hotel this is. Upon arrival we were taken to our room. We had booked the Ocean Signature suite. In one word, great. We have already visited many hotels. But never experienced this before. It felt like you had your own villa. Everyone can use a luxurious living room downstairs, where you can relax. The sound of the big waves all day long, wonderful!! The staff also does everything for you. All so friendly. The hotel also exudes a certain tranquility. We completely recovered from a 13-day tour in Sri Lanka. It's just a shame that the food in the restaurant is so expensive. And especially because there is also an additional 30.5% in taxes, fees, etc. on top. Partly because of this, we hardly ate at the hotel. It was a holiday and hotel we will never forget.
