This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and have to say I enjoyed it again. The hotel was much quieter than last time (my last stay was in January) which was better as it was easier to get sun beds and the restaurants and bars were quieter.

We stayed in a cabana which was very clean and there was clean bed linen and towels daily. The food in the restaurant continued to impress with an excellent selection of curries or pasta and European style dishes if that was your preference.

The gardens and pool areas continue to be maintained to a high standard and the pool team are always happy to help with anything. The animation team also helped to provide some excellent activities both day and night. Don’t forget to visit the spa which was excellent value for money and the therapists work to extremely high standards. My favourite is the facial massage which for 1500 rupees is an absolute bargain and really makes a difference to your skin. They gym well equipped to keep you going whilst on your holidays my only disappointment this time was there was no yoga, the staff member who took the classes has left and another member of the team is currently being trained.

There are a number of beach stalls selling t shirts, scarves, dresses etc. Both have extremely reasonable prices I managed to get beautifully coloured silk scarves for 600 rupees each an absolute bargain. My good friend Dayani also sold me a beautiful maxi dress with a floral print ideal for the summer and she also gets lovely elephant embroidered table cloths of all sizes for an excellent price if you ask. Another of my friends Indy is also worth considering if you want to go on any excursions cheaper than the travel reps.

Now we come to the negative point the dogs and cats. I must say things have improved a lot compared to my last visits when the behaviour of some of the staff towards the animals was appalling. Every dog I saw last time plus a few more were still at the hotel which amazed me as I have seen some terrible sights in my past visits to Sri Lanka and you wonder how they survive. The comment left about the potential of someone getting bitten made me chuckle, I know you can never say never but these animals are so friendly considering how hard their life is its unbelievable so please do not let that put you off. As for the cats scratching if you put your hands towards them they swipe at you thinking you have food for them so the potential of getting a scratch is high (its not like a cat at home who gets fed every day!!!!!!!!!!)

While we were at the hotel one of the females gave birth to a pup which is nearly 3 weeks old now. She was living under a sun lounger so I am asking new visitors to please make sure she gets some food and water and perhaps you could send me a private message to update her progress and any puppy pictures would be really appreciated. If you are an animal lover like me please feed and water the animals and they really love a bit of fuss and attention.

Overall is very good, the staff are excellent and a lick of paint in the rooms wouldn’t go amiss. It a lovely hotel and an amazing country which I have fallen in love with. Hope to see you all next year.

We stayed at this hotel for a few nights and it was really nice and relaxing. We liked the peaceful and quiet atmosphere a lot - which was exactly what we needed at the end of our trip through Sri Lanka. The beach is nice and it should be safe to swim. There is also a pool and some animation program (which we didn't use).

The hotel is actually a club hotel which caters mainly for tourists with AI packages. Be aware that there are not many facilities such as restaurants, shops etc. around the hotel. If you want to have some more local atmosphere, you are required to take a tuk-tuk, bus or train.

Food was fantastic!!! We had breakfast (which was included) and dinner (which is 2300 per person for the buffet but we didnt have much choice as there is not much around) at the hotel and we liked that there were local and international options - which were all extremely good. The chef is doing a great job and he certainly understands a lot about local and international cuisine. I usually don't eat European food in coutries outside Europe because its mostly a rather disappointing experience but here I have to say that the Ratatuille was really good with a very authentic taste. Needless to say that the Srilankan food was just fantastic.

The hotel area is just huge! Unfortunately, some of the bungalows are a bit run down, as are the toilet facilities. It's a pity the owners are not taking better care of it. The new wing looked nice and new though.

WiFi only works in the lobby and does not work in the rooms (as stated on the website), which was a bit annoying.

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They speak so many languages, especially Russian and German, which is amazing.

We have just returned from a two week stay at the Villa Ocean View, althogh we went out of season we were given an excellent time. All the hotel staff were more than polite and attentive and always refered to my wife as 'Madame' until told to use first names. The food was very good but had to decipher their English e.g. one night there was 'English Tripple' meaning English Trifle..but this was all very amusing!
The hotel room was clean and comfortable...our airconditioning was left on all day which made it a pleasant retreatfrom the heat outside!
There was a lack of parasols but the shade of a tree was sufficient..the pool attendants were more than helpful preparing our sun loungers wth double mattresses and ample towels. The security guards always stood up ans saluted when approached!
Overall the hotel was clean and comfortable but could do with a lick of paint and maybe new sunbeds and chairs etc....lack of tourism recentley has had an affect.
Would book again out of season as all guests got to know each other as well as all the staff....a very personal time had by all!

I arrived at the hotel only to be told by the front desk my booking wasn't on the system. I asked for the manager, only duty manager (Suresh Fernando) was present as the manager to deal with my query. He asked me to pay £200 extra to be eligible for a room, as my booking wasn't on system and as I made my booking from UK. FERNANDO said my travel agency didn't pay them the money therefore they refuse to let me stay unless I pay them more cash in hand. I rang my t.agency straight away. Only to find out Fernando was lying to my face! T.Agency was willing to pay but Fernando wanted cash to be put throughout to his account before a certain time. He didn't want to receive agency's money in the correct way. Instead he refused to confirm the booking until someone from the agency puts cash into Fernando's account. He instead lied to me saying my booking was not on their system.
Piece of advice to all, please don't be gullible and trust the employees at this hotel despite however much they seem honest, because they are lying to your face after your money! My concern is if someone had No where else to go... they would have paid the £200 difference. And they would have taken anyone they can for a ride!
Don't give them your money. Please be careful and stay somewhere else. Mount Lavinia or Tangerine is great. They don't try to steal your hard earned savings!

Hello to everyone! We are family travelers from Kazakhstan that like to explore new destinations every year, like to meet new people and make new friendships all around the world. This was our first time in Sri Lanka and the Villa Ocean View Hotel was chosen as a seaside place for our January holidays. The hotel territory is well-maintained, personnel is friendly and responsive. It has clean rooms and overall room service is excellent. Food likes to be more variate but generally gives all you need at the sea resort: vitamins, energy and satisfaction. Among the hotel staff we'd like to note especially Mr. Sandun who is very smiley, open and ready to help. The whole staff is very responsive, helpful and trying to do their best to make your stay in the hotel pleasant and remembered. Animation is not too persistent and helps to spend time with pleasure and fun. The ability of whole staff to learn and try to communicate with russian-speaking guests in Russian - is simply amazing! I wish our kids are so eager to learn foreign languages too. :)
In general we are very satisfied with our smooth and sunny stay with Villa Ocean View Hotel and wish to be back next time! Can recommend this hotel to those families and individuals who are seeking for sunny, quiet and deep-in-nature vacations.

I had my wedding reception and I payed before the reception for the amount of guests. After the reception they charged me another £150 pounds saying some guests had two plates of food instead of using the same plate instead(it was a buffet). It's normal for people to use a new plate when serving the second time. For that they charged as another guest. Pathetic place. I called them after and complained and they refused to pay back my money.
The staff were rude as can be. One of them told a friend of mine that this toilet is for foreigners only and that locals cannot use it. He was racially abused in his own country. Please avoid. There are hundreds of better hotels in that area.

Hi! just back from our holiday in Sri Lanka. Myself, husband and 26 year old daughter.
It has to have been the most relaxing holiday ever. The journey from the Airport was an adventure in its self, that said we were behind the bus carrying the team that Didnt Win!so it took longer than the normal transfer time, traffic and people in abundance...it was great to see.
When we arrived at the Hotel the greeting was so warm and genuine it made you feel like you were wanted. The Villa Ocean View Hotel is everything it says.. forget about upgrading as the brochures say to the Hotel side stay in a Cabana. Before we went we asked for adjoining rooms as we didnt want to be too far away from our daughter, OMG when they showed us to our Cabana's we could not have asked for anything better ! it was just as it said Ocean View, and what a view we had (room no's 66/68) .right on the beach front. The hotel was fantastic. As we had never been all inclusive before we didnt know what to expect (you hear a lot of stories of how the food is recycled shall we say) not in this hotel. everybodys needs were met ( make sure you try the Sri Lankan omelette for breakfast) delicious! the staff were fantastic from the people that sweep the grounds to the manager himself we could not fault them and the guy who every day made our day, that was our room (boy) Dilum. the rooms were cleaned, beds and towels changed daily and he arranged fresh flowers each day oh and sprayed each night so no problems with any bugs although we did see an Elephant walking in the grounds her name was Monica. as you can tell this was a place we will talk about for a long time as we havent even started on the trip to Kandy or the jewellry we had made...
The brochures dont advertise this hotel as much as they should the Hotel should be listed higher than it is. Food, service, cleanliness and entertainment all given with a gracious heart and a smile for all.We could go on for a long time...thanks for taking the time to read this. Hope this helps anyone thinking of staying in this Hotel. From the Hart Family Liverpool

They steal your cash. Fraud basically! You have been warned not recommended!
Stay at your own cost.

In the end they'll force you for more money.
Staff are not highly trained. They have no idea how to interact with customers. Worst hotel in Sri Lanka.

You can't even leave your room without your money going missing.

Staff just pretend that You misplaced it they are taking your money. I've read many reviews on here. Over 20 customers s as y the same story.

Very bad.

Yeah, I found a one inside. But it wasn't clean at all. So I had to go outside and a buy a new one, as I cannot use the one in the hotel for my kid.
