We have recently returned from a two week stay at The Asiain Jewel - two weeks were not long enough.
The hotel is everything it's website says it is. You get luxury with a very personal service. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left nothing was too much trouble - Dale and Tanya are a wonderful couple and are keen for you to get what you want from their hotel and Sri Lanka.
The staff are very personable, the rooms luxurious and the food devine. We stayed in the luxury room and could not have wished for anything more. The view is both breathtaking and calming.
Dale is very keen to pass on his local knowledge and is happy spending time with you, giving honest information and advice and will arrange any trip or activity that is available. If you are planning to tour any part of the island I would definitely recommend contacting Dale to arrange your tour whether it be at the beginning of your stay, in the middle or even on your way home. He will certainly be able to help.
Tanya's attention to detail is second to none and this helps make the hotel stand out. We stayed at two other hotels while we were in Sri Lanke but neither could compete.
The hotel is away from the beach (only a shourt tuk tuk ride though) but this means you get to learn a little more about life in Sri Lanka.
Tanya and Dale know what we though of them, their hotel and our wonderful holiday - we will definintely be seeing them again. I would recomend this hotel in a second - a supurb location, high standards of cleanliness and food but most of all the hospitality of the real jewels in Hikkaduwa Tanya and Dale.
