International Beach Hotel & Restaurant

Hotel

🫀 Went here to relax on the beach. Great location, sunbeds are comfortable. Unfortunately, the waiters made our a bit unpleasant - one was friendly but asked boldly for more tips after paying (although we already gave generousely), the second was totally unfriendly. People often mention beach, good, staff, friendly, rooms,

    bad living condition, kitchen is also in bad condition.. WiFi doesn't work unless you are next to the reception. Need to pay extra for air conditioned rooms... beach is the only good part... i will definitely do a day trip to the beach, but will NEVER stay at this hotel! If you stay, just don't expect too much!

    We stayed one week period at this beautiful vibrant place. It is a wonderful place with a truly friendly staff and clean spacey rooms having modern AC system, a ceiling fan and a spacey well equipped bathroom. A great place for vacation, as the place is at the edge of a beautiful sandy beach and a restaurant called Drunken Monkey that serves delicious and gorgeous food.

    The staff was very rude! I was having a lunch there when someone came in between my conversation. The guy, which is a often client there, tatoo man, start to be very agressive and call me names..( probably because he was listen and sneaking my conversation) Completely crazy situation!! The owner did not do anything about, after this guy offend me for nothing, probably because was his friend. (So sad...) I was spending my money there and try to relax in my holiday. Unbelievable situacion! Very rude people, will never go back there! Dont go there with you are a woman and alone!!Bad vibes! Best is to everybody to be way!! Agressive people and no any respect for the womans and clients!

    Terrible accomodation. Hotel was good, but personell horrible. Every day, they Are pesimistich and with bad mood. First day we can use sunbad on beach if we buy drinks The day after, we must order lunch if we could use sunbed. I do not recommend.

    A super spot on the beach, a local favorite for sure. The owner is a good guy and they take care of their guests. Breakfast on the beach is a nice experience. Rooms are basic and clean. Get the Air conditioned room if it's available.

    Nice restaurant right on the beach. Food is good (curry, fish and chips, salads - huge menu), service is friendly and there are plenty of sunbeds.

  • 2/5 Kevin P. 2 years ago on Google
    Comfortable, well located sunbeds and somehow reasonable prices. BUT: Very unfriendly staff. We were not allowed to use the sunbeds we wanted, we had to lie on different ones. Begging for more tip, although we already tipped generously. A simple "thank you" or goodbye could also help... Would definetely not come back.

    We have visited this hotel in February 2020.It's very nice place and special Thanks to Owner of this hotel as we booked wrong month with same dates but he gives us accommodation first and than request me to correct dates from website. Also staff is very kindly,no idea about food as we booked only room without food. Surely recommended for staying.

    My only holidays are to the beach and Ive been to a fair few across Asia, Africa, The Med. Sri-Lanka wins hands down for best value and amazing beaches and the most friendly people. This was my 3rd stay at IBH and definitely the best one so far. The team have kept the place well maintained and the rooms are neat and clean. The hotel is literally on the beach. I challenge anyone to find better value. I will continue to go back to IBH for as long as I live. If you want to disconnect and spend the most chilled out time of your life. Go visit. The team were super accommodating and made us a special curry night which was worth it’s own 5* review. They treated us like family so thank you everyone and see you as soon as possible again.

    Have been coming to IBH for the last 10 years with friends and family. 1st time back after covid ruined travel but the place is still as good as always. Comfortable rooms, good food and great hospitality.

    Affordable beach stay in Narigama, Hikkaduwa. Perfect location for surfing and relaxing on the beach with your loved ones. They also have a nice beach restaurant with very reasonable prices and delicious food.

    I stayed 3 nights and was extremely satisfied with the service, cleanliness and value for money. The staff are very helpful and the place has a family friendly vibe. I recommend the Drunken Monkey bar as a good venue to relax and make friends.
