This hotel is accessed by the hotel boat and literally takes a few minutes. The boat service is very frequent and 24 hours. The beach is private and is not accessed by the public which is great. The beach is very clean and stretches for a couple of miles. There are no beach boys and sellers of goods so you... More

If all you need is a roof above your head and some food and maybe a dip in the pool then this is the hotel is for you. If you can close an eye before some small flaws and enjoy the great location of this hotel, then this is the hotel for you. If you expect western standards or fear... More

You can immediately tell a hotel in the process of decay. Rickety beds, peeling walls and a sense tht you've cone 10 years too late. The staff as almost everywhere in Sri lanka were really warm and helpful, but there's not much they can do. There were cockroaches in the room contesting with a swarm of mosquitoes for our attention.... More

Being closer to beach, guests carry a lot of sand and foul smell in the rooms. The rooms need to be cleaned and sprayed before the next guests check in. Staff needs to co-operate with genuine customer requirements or at least say no with regret! Structure is such that some rooms tend to be away from the main restaurant facilities.... More

Great location - water sports center over the fence, railway station across the road, pharmacy, grocery store, decent restaurants and bank in vicinity, far from the noise of the busy town. The hotel itself is derelict, that is true, but cheap and very cosy. Everything is organized in a perfect holiday way - there is no room without a view,... More

The hotel have now been sold, and a renovation is soon under work. The staff is wonderful and helpful and give very good service. The staff made us forgive that the hotel was rather "tired". We spent our Christmas Eve and 7 days at Ceysands. The hotel has a very good location placed on a half-island. The river is from... More

$150 USD a night? Are you kidding me? My sister and I stayed here for one night and spent the next two nights trying to forget the dingy pool area, the moldy rooms, rusty bathroom and overall listlessness of this craphole that markets itself as an 'upscale escape.' The worst affront was the price tag. Ceysands was the most expensive... More
