Matara, was a good place for me.I stayed at La Polena,for 12 nights.The breakfast was excellent and the lady that made it changed the sheets and cleaned my room twice.I do think that they could give visitors a bottle of water daily.Also a jug to make a cup of tea in each room.Very little money is spend on maintaining the place.Also a sign with numbers for hiring Tuk-Tuk drivers would help.The manager is nice ,but a little slow in offering advice. Island rsetuarant past the Doctors had teh best food.I also needed more veg.So bought carrots,tomatoes and cucumber for myself.Also egg,roll in town. Restaurants at the beach are a rip off.10% added for tax.This is nonsense.Tuk driver from the Railway station to hotel.600 rup The one Hotel to Trainstation 800 the train from Matara.4 -5 hours 600rph.?Guest review byMalcolmNew Zealand - 10

Matara is a beautiful coastal town in southern Sri Lanka, full of charm and local culture. The beaches are clean and peaceful—perfect for swimming, surfing, or just relaxing. I enjoyed exploring the historic Matara Fort and visiting nearby places like Polhena Beach and Parey Dewa Temple. The local food is delicious, and the people are warm and welcoming. It's a great place to experience authentic southern Sri Lankan life with a mix of nature, history, and the sea.Guest review bySuneth LiyangeSri Lanka - 8.0
Polhena
Polhena If you are looking for a tourist only beach, this isn't it. Mostly locals and that's why it was so lovely. Very small beach with no waves. A dead reef but some fish and turtles. Local people there were really kind. Which is what made this place special. The area itself was a bit of a tourist trap but the beach was actually was a small and cute meeting point.Guest review byonomato - 10

Matare is part of a chain of cities along the southernmost coast of Sri Lanka. It has beaches for expert surfers as well as beginners and those who just want to be by the beach. The beaches along the coast are all sparkling translucent and enticing. Find hotels along the shore because the traffic on the roads is dense and sometimes unpleasant to westerners the beaches and the kindness of the population more than make up for it.Guest review byvictorLithuania - 8.0

Nice place, but you have to make an effort to explore, which is nice. Not the commercial fully packaged commercial tourist deal. Good quirky options. Has quite a lot of Sri Lanka's history, forts, but courts, and old paved streets, as I said, a great if you make a little effort to explore. The Duchman's Street is a great beachside restaurant!Guest review byEmilSri Lanka - 10
Nature. Natural food.
Nature. Natural food. Luckily, not too many tourists yet, and it is not too crowded like in other parts of the island (e.g., in Merissa.)Avoid Matara city itself - it's crowded. Look for places nearby, where Google View shows more green color.Guest review byDmitryUnited States

- From US$71.50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 161 reviewsShamii, Erangia and the team were wonderful! Super helpful and friendly with a cheery good morning. We booked for three days and ended up staying for eighteen! The location is along a lovely residential lane with the hotel tucked in at the end on the beach. It has a beautiful outside bar serving great food and there is also a rooftop restaurant (which we didn't try). Also, the rooms have air conditioning and fridge and there is a private terrace seating looking out to sea. We'll definitely be coming back!!Guest review byLisaUnited Kingdom
- From US$33 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 131 reviewsThe room is big, clean and newly made, at least it looks like it. The hotel stuff is amazing friendly and extremely helpful with anything. In particular the Manager Gobi is the best person which we made in Sri Lanka, helpful with any kind of question, very fair and friendly. We cannot say enough thank you to him. Besides the tuktuk drivers for the hotel are also amazing the first time in Sri Lanka since 2 weeks we had trustworthy driver. Full recommendation for the place.Guest review byMarc DanielGermany
