R Degrees Ambalangoda

The staff here are absolutely amazing! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help — nothing is ever too much trouble. The location is perfect, with direct access to one of the most gorgeous beaches — ideal for watching the sunset.The hotel is very family-friendly and maintained to a high standard. Everything, from the rooms to the common areas, is spotless and well cared for. The food is delicious, especially if you enjoy Asian cuisine (particularly Sri Lankan dishes). Both the food and cleanliness deserve a full 10/10!

Small, beaufully located hotel next to small lovely beach. Super cozy, quiet and solitary. Outstanding view from balcony, loved everything about it. Amazing value - cost vs. Facility.

Wifi was poor.

The place was very clean and beautifully organized It was quite and all the staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay very special We were lucky to have them offer dinner & breakfast buffet when we were there and it was more than amazing quality and variety and taste

Great view room in the deluxe room and very spacious with a lovely couch to sit on.

The property is beautiful, very well maintained with a lush garden right by the ocean and a big, clean pool with ocean view. The layout is great and even if all rooms are occupied, it doesn’t feel crowded. The beach is clean and empty with a swimmable corner and lovely to dip or watch the sunset. A supermarket and cafe is within walking distance. The service was friendly and welcoming.

The kitchen / bar closes early, you can’t get a drink at 11pm eg - it feels there’s mostly 60+ year old couples staying who aren’t leaving the hotel and eat early (and give you a little side eye whenever they can - nothing that the hotel can change but that’s the crowd here), there is not much around, you will def need a TukTuk to get to the local restaurants, except for some beach restaurants (which also close around 10pm)Also sea view in the room description is a big word: we had a corner room and few centimeters of “view” next to various ac maschines.

Fast WiFi

Construction just beside the hotel spoiling view, and relaxing vibe No shadow around the pool, need to put tents Overpriced food and room

Very nice boutique hotel. Got a very spacious ground floor room with big bathroom and own terrace in front of the room. I think a room upgrade. Good restaurant on site. Weather was not supportive much to use swimming pool but it looked nice and must be a plus on sunny day. Direct beach access, but no walking on the beach really as it is short ending with rocks on both sides.

room, facility, pool, wonderful beach, good restaurant, bar, parking, huge rooms with balcony

all perfect

I like the staff and the Manager Mr Thilak, very professional and courteous. The rooms are clean and nice. Very well maintained.Would definitely visit again!

Nothing in particular

Huge room with balcony, beach view, beautiful garden. The pool was also great. The bed was comfortable. The staff is very nice and supportive, they speak English. The mask museum just 10 mins walk.

Limited choice for breakfast, but more than enough. There is a menu with few options. For two days it was okay but for longer holiday it can be an issue.

Our room was incredibly large with a huge balcony overlooking the beach which was amazing.The bed was comfortable and everything was kept clean by the housekeeping staff. The staff overall were very friendly and tried their very best to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They brought in wine for us to have with dinner and every day asked what we would like to have to eat. The garden leading down to the beach was beautifully maintained and we enjoyed seeing the kingfishers in the grounds every day, the waves crashing on the rocks in the sea and the absolute beauty of the outlook. We enjoyed dinner on our balcony three times and once in the garden and we loved walking along the beach to the only beach bar for lunch. The massages from the in-house masseuse were also a highlight of our stay here. Thoroughly recommend a stay at R Degrees and would go back in a heartbeat.

We suggested to the Drinks and Beverages Manager that it would be a great improvement to have a means of ordering drinks and snacks from the garden/pool area. At the time we stayed, the only way to order a drink or snack was to get up and go back into the reception area (not ideal). Hopefully they will find a way to make this happen which would not only help guests to relax but also offer an opportunity to create more revenue for the hotel.We also suggested the hotel provided a bin by the beach so guests could dispose of their own litter as well as anything they could collect from the beach to keep the beach area clean and safe - this they did immediately.

This is a wonderful boutique hotel, literally on the most stunning stretch of beach, a long golden stretch of sand and super quiet. All the staff were so hospitable and friendly. The rooms were large, bight and well appointed, the pool is gorgeous and there is lots of space to sit and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.

This was a surprisingly good stay! As a small boutique hotel the staff were warm, attentive and welcoming. Check in was super easy and we were in our room within minutes. The room was newly furnishes with modern décor, large with good facilities. The large sliding doors opened onto a patio with a table and chairs and then walk out with access to the pool and beach areas. The pool was pleasant, the access to the beach is great with a private grassed area which you can relax on and then wonder on the public beach at your leisure. The beach was not at all busy and actually quite nice, although the sea was a little rough for leisurely swimming. The kitchen staff were accommodating, the food was excellent.

As much as the food was excellent my advice would be to stick with the local cuisine options as these were far superior to international dishes.

The room was fantastic with a beautiful garden and ocean view. The location is great, with a quiet beach, far from all the turisty places. The pool is great and well maintained, so is the garden. As there are only 12 rooms the athmosphere is relaxing. In contrary to previous reviews, WiFi worked very well.

There is much more to ask for when it comes to the kitchen. We stayed for many days, and the dinner options was almost the same every evening, with only slight variation. It is a pity that only ”western” food of average quality is offered, it would have been great with Sri Lankan food among the dinner alternatives. The breakfast could also have been better… The staff varied, some were attentive, while others were not.

The hotel is clean, fresh and inviting, it has amazing views onto the beach, comfortable rooms and the staff are very attentive. Laksiri was a wonderful member of staff, who kept the balance perfect, of being helpful but not too over keen to please.

For us it was a bit too off the beaten track, although the food was good, it would have been nice to be able to have something different and there was nowhere else to go. Staff are lovely but can be a bit too attentive.

Location is excellent. Staff is Friendly. Feel like stay at home.

Some insects are present.

Nice location with a beautiful beach, the beach can be seen from the room balcony the rooms were big and cleaning was superb. welcoming fruits presented in the room on the check in day, powerful Wifi

Restaurant staff were very slow and took too long to prepare the food

I‘ve been travelling for more than a decade and this is one of the most beautiful places I have been to.Stunning view, great rooms and very nice staff.In the restaurant please try the „southern coast special“ which gives you a great variety of local dishes!

Location is good , staff is well, breakfast is also tasty

In the room bed sets are un clean, rooms wall is like cartoon every loud are listening from the room there are have some religious music every early morning like 05:00 o clock till 10:00 (it's actually takes 20 minutes but they put it on repeat for 5 hours couldn't sleep well for that reasons)

Beautiful small place with family atmosphere. It is right on very long beach where you can spend time walking or relaxing. Also 2 min ealk is supermarket and 10 min walk is a city (and wine shops :-)). Employees including cook are friendly and nothing is a problem.
