The restaurant is good – breakfast is very good. Staff are friendly and polite. I was disappointed by the lack of a tourist activity program, and very ad hoc approach to this. Some of the prices I was quoted for boat, rides, or other accompanied activities were ridiculous. I think part of this that probably not many international guests stay there. The other annoyance was the noise levels at night. On the Saturday night, there was a big party at the hotel and music went on until 3 am. Not acceptable. ##### Lynette Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### EDWARD Jun 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities it's beautiful water front. ##### EDWARD Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### grace Jul 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms were very clean .

The bed very soft. The sliding door to balcony was very stiff and hard to open and close. There was only one room key per room as they did not have enough key cards. But despite those minor inconveniences, it was a beautiful hotel. ##### Lynne Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesse Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jesse Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna May 14, 2025 ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Eunike Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service ##### Eunike Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Innocent Aug 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### Innocent Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Apr 4, 2024 ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Marko Mar 25, 2024 ##### Marko Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Diana Sep 18, 2023 ##### Diana Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha Dec 23, 2022 ##### Martha Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Edward Dec 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Edward Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### CHRISTOPHER Oct 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### CHRISTOPHER Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shalika Aug 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Shalika Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Blue Waters by Serendib](https://www.expedia.com/Salima-Hotels-Blue-Waters-By-Serendib.h16207454.Hotel-Information) - [Blue Zebra Island Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Salima-Hotels-Blue-Zebra-Island-Lodge.h8355191.Hotel-Information) - [Safari Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Senga-Hotels-Safari-Beach-Lodge.h30034488.Hotel-Information) - [Main Stream Beach Villa](https://www.expedia.com/Senga-Hotels-Main-Stream-Beach-Villa.h94937002.Hotel-Information) - [Lakeside Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Senga-Hotels-Lakeside-Hotel.h30054628.Hotel-Information) - [Joma Adventure Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Senga-Hotels-Joma-Adventure-Lodge.h92916293.Hotel-Information) - [Sunbird Livingstonia Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Senga-Hotels-Sunbird-Livingstonia-Beach-Hotel.h46074.Hotel-Information) - [Kambiri Beach By Serendib](https://www.expedia.com/Senga-Hotels-Kambiri-Beach-By-Serendib.h35367823.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Central Region](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Central-Region.d553248635975177348.Flight-Destinations) - [Central Region Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Central-Region.d553248635975177348.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Central Region](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Central-Region.d553248635975177348.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Central Region Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Central-Region.d553248635975177348.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Central Region](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Central-Region.d553248635975177348.Travel-Guide-Activities)
