    Excellent Customer Service, Delicious Food, Perfect View
    Stayed during Dec 2019.Overall it was a very pleasant and relaxing stay with superb food. Ms. Poornima handled our booking very smoothly and made some additional arrangements to make us more comfortable too. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and manager Mr. Nalaka Perera was a very humble , pleasant person who showed exceptional customer service skills. 😊 Overall, all the staff was well trained and present individual. We stayed in a balcony room with a spectacular sea view. Go for one of the balcony rooms. They have few set menu options but it was well designed so you won't get bored. Food was delicious and perfectly cooked from fresh vegetables / meat. Do not miss their fish and chips - one of the best i had in Sri Lanka 😉 Overall it was a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Thank you Mr. Nalaka and the Era Beach crew. Keep it up !

    Had a chill time!
    Visited this place for the first time on Apr 1st and stayed for 3 nights with my wife and kiddo. It is a lovely place. It seems a big house which has been converted to a boutique hotel many years back. We stayed in a suite located upstairs. Very spacious and comfortable room. The room did lack a few amenities none were issues and could be things that the hotel can think of ensuring to have in the future. While the set menu options were limited, the portions were quite filling and most importantly - tasty. Their ala-carte menu offers quite a few options. However, I must say that they were ready to customize their menu if required. Like to specially mention Nalaka (the hotel manager) who responded to our requests promptly and also Lakindu who the majority of our stay attended to our needs. Truly a great place to visit as a family or with even friends for a relaxing time. The place is also not very far from Galle Fort and popular beach bathing spots. Thank you Era beach!

    Enjoy the private luxury in southern coast
    Small boutique hotel, few kms towards Unawatuna from Galle side - adjoining to Galle road. Nice and clam property, great privacy when you get inside. We requested and given the suite with plunge pool and small outdoor passage with dining area. My kids loved the plunge pool and was easy for us to relax and enjoy without going far. Room is spacious with large bathroom which opened to adjoining garden (passage with dining area).Comfortable setup with sofas and divan apart from the bed. Better to get meals arranged on their main dining space with stunning views to sea and pool, also the garden and bar provides sufficient outdoor seating and beautiful views. Such areas are super cool, clam and quite - ideal for chat, snack & drinks. Loved to mention the hospitality of Roshan who assisted us throughout with our room service, serving meals to preparing us wonderful cocktail. He was able to prepare an exotic cocktail for me which came out very tempting from the ingredients (liquor, other juices etc.,) I have provided. Overall staff is very friendly and supportive, they love what they are doing and try their best to ensure the business in running smoothly during this pandemic and difficult time. Food served set menus, however the options are limited to select from. Taste was good. Highly recommended place, specially for groups who want to enjoy privacy in luxury boutique hotel and anyone loves calmness and tranquility.

The villa was really nice and the pool was pretty big. It overlooked the beach which created a wonderful atmosphere. The beach area is a bit small and rocky but fairly clean. The staff were great and very hospitable. The only slight disappointment was the food. The menu was a bit sparse in that respect and it was just about average. There was also no BBQ which would have been ideal. Overall, great stay but the menu can use an improvement.

We went with friends,altogether we were 5 families with 11 children. The villa has 5 rooms and all are different categories but nicely arranged spacious rooms. The staff were very polite and fulfilled all our needs whether it’s a change of menu or the time of serving.They made all the possibilities to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

We booked our Era beach for the Avurudu vacation with my family. We took 6 rooms for the 3 nights. The property is beautiful but there were a lot of shortcomings. First of all we was travelling with my new born. When we went into one of the sea view rooms, it looked like they hadn’t swept the floors, the couch looked like it needed a good sofa cleaning and the toilet had cob webs. When I informed them that they needed to clean the room properly only then they cleaned it. Second their food, we ordered the Sri Lankan breakfast on the first day. The food was good. On the second day we ordered the western breakfast, according to their FB pictures they have nice hash browns, eggs, bacon, lots of mushrooms. But we only got a few potato wedges, chicken ham piece, and 2 mushrooms. When I requested for bacon, they said they don’t have any. We also wanted to get pizza for dinner, they said their oven is broken and we should go to wijaya beach. It was quite annoying because I couldn’t travel much with my little one. Their dinner service got really late - 1.5 hours. When we made a complaint to them, their excuse was we usually don’t give this out to locals. We were like why did you even give this property to us then. Their excuse for everything was this. It’s such a shame because we usually aren’t too fussy. But I wouldn’t visit this villa again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I only gave 2 stars because I loved the view and the property is nice provided it’s given a proper deep clean.

The newly built villa should leave an impression of an old, venerable villa. The parking lot is too narrow, the whole area is very limited and wedged between other accommodations. Everything is much too tight and without a private atmosphere. I really don't love leaving a negative review. I had a single room with a pool view, which means that everyone could look into your room. The TV did not work, the air conditioning was very noisy, the bathroom had no ventilation, this room is definitely not recommended. The staff is friendly but not very knowledgeable. But worst of all is the kitchen. I have never eaten so bad at a hotel in this price range. I had to leave my inedible dinner untouched. The disappointment the next morning at breakfast was accordingly. Perhaps traditional tourists like this, but as a resident of Sri Lanka for almost 16 years, I was just very disappointed. Many local street food outlets offer much better food and at a fraction of this very overpriced boutique villa.
