Handagedara Stay
Lovely hotel with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Located a few minutes from the beach and lots of lovely restaurants.
Rooms are a great size. Only negative was a very noisy peacock living close by, but we had ear plugs so it didn't disrupt our stay.
Great breakfast with lots to choose from.

Bästa hotellet!
Otroligt bra service, god frukost och bra mat på deras meny, bra pool! Vi spenderade 3 nätter här i början av vår vistelse och valde att åka tillbaka sista dagarna för att bo här igen! Bästa stället vi bott på i hela Sri Lanka!

Ingenting å utsette på, fantastisk!
Fantastisk opphold. Personalet er svært behjelpelig og vennlige. Grunnet en misforståelse trodde hotellet at meg og min venninne at vi var tre, og vi fikk derfor familierom. Rommet var helt fantastisk med to senger, derav en stor king size med dobbeltdyne. Frokosten er enkel, men veldig god. De steker egg om du ønsker. God beliggenhet, med kort vei til stranden. Grunnet sent fly på dagen for utsjekk, fikk vi et eget rom der vi kunne ha bagasjen og kunne dusje etter å ha vært på stranden. Alt i alt et fantastisk overnattingssted på Sri Lanka.

Staff were very friendly. Pool is beautiful with lounge chairs. A/C was very good. Room was very clean with private balcony. Wifi spotty at times. Breakfast is good with a lovely location. Beach day is an easy walk (5 min.). Many good restaurants nearby.

Good hotel that would deserve some refurbishment
The room was not in the best shape and would certainly deserve some refurbishment. WiFi was ok and swimming pool as well. The breakfast was very good.

Great stay!
We had a great stay at Handagedara! The service was great and the owners were extremely helpful. They helped us arrange safari as well as transport to our next destination, and they also gave us a little snackpack for the safari. Room was clean and cute. The breakfast was served on a nice balcony with a view over the pool and green garden. However, breakfast was a bit disappointing. We expected more options from the buffet, both because it is called a buffet and also because the accommodation was more expansive than other hotels. This buffet was very similar to the things we got at other accommodations were a breakfast platter was served instead. The coffee could also have been much stronger. But overall, it was a great stay at Handagedara!

Lovely hotel only about 5mins walk to the beach. Breakfast was very good and the room a good size with a comfy bed. The staff were great and happy to help organise whale watching trips and taxi transfers.
