    Liked every detail about our really nice 2-night stay. the location in the reception nor in the restaurant was absolutely perfect and convenient for us. We were so close to local shops and restaurants, the center of Narigama beach, and a beautiful, long beach.

    The hotel was a perfect place for enjoying an excellent area, right by a rain forest and the restaurant. Triple room with fridge was the best. Best possible location - an easy walk to everywhere we needed. We stayed for 2 nights here, loved Hikkaduwa Beach district.

    The hotel is located right on the beach, so we had easy access to all the nearby beachside attractions in Hikkaduwa. The rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a secure compound for us to relax after a day of adventure. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making our vacation even more enjoyable.

    The only thing we wished for was a more vibrant nightlife scene near the hotel. It would have been great to have a lively party atmosphere for young people like us to have even more fun during our stay.

    The villa is spacious and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen. As a family with children, we loved having the extra space and the convenience of cooking our own meals. The rooms have private balconies overlooking the beach, which gave us breathtaking views every morning. It was a perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of Hikkaduwa. The air-conditioning and ceiling fans kept the rooms cool and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The quality mattresses were an added bonus for a restful stay. We appreciated the hot-water ensuite bathrooms, especially after a long day of exploring. It felt luxurious to have the choice between a shower or a relaxing soak in the large corner bathtub. The hand-crafted timber furniture added a touch of elegance to the rooms. We also felt secure knowing that there was a room safe and lockable closet to keep our belongings. The large roofed veranda in front of the villa provided a lovely shaded space to unwind and enjoy the sea breeze. The double room had a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a hairdryer, making it convenient for our family's needs. Some units offered views of the pool or garden, adding to the overall tranquility of the surroundings. All rooms had a comfortable seating area where we could relax and spend quality time together as a family.

    Personally, we found one feature of the villa less appealing. The mini-fridge in the room was a bit noisy at times.

    The villa at Drifters is like a secret hideaway in the jungle, with a large roofed veranda that makes you feel like Tarzan swinging through the trees. One day, while enjoying the facilities at Serenade Beach Hotel, I felt like James Bond as I sipped on a cocktail by the pool, knowing I had access to all the beach, pool, and restaurant privileges. Drifters Villa is the perfect spot for families and small groups who want a peaceful vacation, away from the hustle and bustle. It's like finding an oasis in the middle of a desert. With Drifters Tours, exploring Sri Lanka was like going on an epic adventure, discovering hidden treasures and uncovering the history of this beautiful island. It felt like being on a real-life treasure hunt. The secure compound at Drifters Villa was a sanctuary, offering the perfect place to relax after enjoying all the nearby beachside attractions and the vibrant nightlife of Hikkaduwa.

    The value for money at Drifters was great, with a comfortable bed and direct beachfront access. The location was perfect, just a minute's walk from highly recommended restaurants and shops. The staff were lovely, offering helpful advice and making our stay enjoyable.
