The hotel sits right on the beach in a perfect spot, our room was amazing and looked freshly renovated. The staff were super friendly and happy to help with any requests throughout our stay. The hotel doesn’t serve breakfast because the kitchen doesn’t open until later in the day, but that wasn’t an issue since there are many cafes nearby for breakfast.

Sea Salt Society is honestly one of my favorite hotels ever. The rooms are stunning, with huge windows that face the ocean, so I wake up each day to the sound of waves. They’re spacious, the bathrooms are modern, and the air conditioning plus ceiling fan keep it super comfortable even when it’s hot. With only two rooms on the whole property, it feels calm and personal instead of chaotic and anonymous like a big hotel. The staff were lovely and very helpful, and the sun loungers were incredibly comfy. It’s also right next to a surf school, which is great if you want lessons. The cocktails were amazing, though a bit pricey.

We have mixed feelings about our stay. The room was lovely, tastefully decorated, comfortable, and had the best hairdryer. But the daily housekeeping never happened, no fresh water was provided, and the promised “every two day” room service didn’t happen either; we had to ask. This was the most expensive of our two‑month stays in Sri Lanka and the one that didn’t offer breakfast, but the photos made us think it would be amazing. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. The restaurant/sun‑bed area was dirty, with bits of rubbish and plastic bottles left around and not cleared by the staff, who spent most of their time sitting around doing nothing. It just felt grubby and uninviting. We mentioned our concerns to Manoj, the manager, who seemed grateful for the feedback and said he took it on board. The lack of cleanliness around the seating and sun‑bed area and the staff just sitting around doing nothing were annoying, and it was a bit intimidating having to walk past men playing cards to reach the outdoor fresh‑water shower.

The room was nice and comfortable, with a large shared terrace that the two rooms shared overlooking the beach. The downstairs restaurant was also very nice, and the music stopped around 10 pm so it wasn’t noisy. The air‑con fan worked well to keep the room cool. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only drawback was no pool; the surf was very rough while we were there, so it wasn’t noisy and it was difficult to swim.
