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.

Great beachfront location, helpful staff, clean pool, and affordable restaurant. Easy access to other restaurants and attractions.

Drifters is my go-to place to stay in Hikkaduwa. The staff helped me find great restaurants. It has everything I need - Wi-Fi, free parking, 24-hour security, bar, restaurant, welcome drink. No pets. A/C, non-smoking rooms. Coming back for Christmas!

The hotel was a perfect place to relax after enjoying Hikkaduwa's nearby beachside attractions and Hikkaduwa's nightlife. They even had a tour desk where we could plan all our adventurous activities. The staff was super cool and always ready to help us have a great time.

We just wish they had a dedicated dance floor or party area for young party-going people like us. It would have taken the fun to the next level!

Our stay at Drifters Hotel & Beach Restaurant was wonderfully relaxing. The staff was amazing, keeping everything clean and providing excellent service. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely return!

Limited dinner options at the restaurant.

The location is perfect, right on a beautiful beach south of Hikkaduwa. The hotel facilities were great, with clean and simple but beautiful rooms. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our stay very enjoyable. The hotel also has a clean pool, perfect for a relaxing swim. We also loved the fact that the hotel is affordable and has a restaurant right between the beach and the pool, serving delicious food. Additionally, transportation was convenient with tuk tuks always available outside the hotel.

Nothing, it is perfect.

Drifters Villa is a great option if you want a quiet holiday away from crowds. The beachfront location is splendid, and the food at the Beachfront Restaurant is scrumptious. The balcony offers jungle views, for those craving a touch of adventure.

Binoculars not included for spying on the jungle creatures from the balcony. Bummer.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Hikkaduwa. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Upon arrival, I was initially booked in a single room on the land side, but the owner kindly changed my accommodation to a room in the main building on the sea side. The staff was attentive and always willing to help. The location of the hotel is great, right on the beach with easy access to many other good restaurants in the area. The pool was clean and well-maintained, and the restaurant in the hotel offered affordable and delicious meals. There were also tuk tuks available outside the hotel for easy transportation. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Cannot find any fault.
