We arrived at Whisky point not knowing what to expect. All I can say is that it exceeded our expectations in every way! We ended up extending our stay and became great friends with the owner, Nicola and his entire team! The rooms are tastefully decorated and very comfortable! Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were exceptional! It could be the best Pizza I have ever eaten in my life. The fact that you are living on the beachfront, which is super clean with no crowds and a few minutes walk away from Pottuvil Point where you can catch good surf when the swell is good or swim off the main rock when its flat, makes this place the perfect location, away from the madness of Arugam Bay which can get super crowded. You can catch a tuk tuk to A Bay and be there in 10 minutes if you want to go into the A Bay. I am going to miss this place and my friends and will be back for sure! 10/10 all the way!

This property was located close to town and all the restaurants as well as the most wonderful little swim beach! Kevin was an incredible host and the rooms were large and clean! As we traveled out of season breakfast wasn’t provided, but we were able to use the kitchen to make ourselves meals. Highly recommend this property!

It was great stay at star rest beach hotel .the hos (Owner) Abdullah was a superb guy .he is professional surfing trainer. He took me to peanut parm and crocodile rock. When I lost my way he quickly came and pick me up from the beach. The hotel location was great because very quiet place and helpful staff. The hotel itself had a place to eat and make your own food. The room was very clean and WiFi was excellent.

The female dorm was spacious and very clean. The beds were comfy. Location was great! And the pool and garden is very beautiful. It is very calm at night which was prefect for me. If you look for a more communicative hostel where you can meet other travellers I would advise another one though.

Quiet location just off the main road so could get a peaceful nights sleep, but a 2 minute walk to the bars shops and restaurants and beach. Super friendly helpful staff! Room extremely comfortable and spotless.

We had a wonderful stay at Hakuna Matata. Billy and his family were so welcoming, and the Sri Lankan breakfasts cooked by Billy’s mother were delicious. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, with a lovely front patio/balcony area too, and lots of hammocks and sitting spots throughout the property. Location is ideal - one minute from the beach, and one minute to the main road in town. Thank you!
