    Excellent little place right on the beach. We were walking past happy bay and pulled inside by the Irish cohort running the place who treated us like we were at home. Bernie can't do enough for you and the food is great. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable. Also a great help with sorting our surfing etc. Will definitely be back again.

I recommend the top floor, though it can be noisy sometimes. Rooms were clean and the staff was delightful, helped with any issues at the time in Sri as there was a terrible crisis

    It was clean and comfortable. The soundproofing didn't sound good, but it wasn't enough to disturb the sleep. The coffee was delicious and the food was fine. Best of all, the beach is in front of me! I've been well. May I see you again!

    Very friendly workers, will help you with anything you need. The food is delicious (especially huge Submarine sandwiches!!) Happy Bay is located 5 min (walking distance) away from the coolest surfing spots, 3 min away from the fish market and just near the beach! (Across the road)

  • 5/5 Fridge 2. 7 months ago on Google
    Such an incredible place. The location is perfect (right across the road from the middle of Weligama Beach), and the service is fantastic. But what really makes it special is the staff. Theyโ€™re incredibly friendly and helpful and will bend over backwards to make sure youโ€™re happy and comfortable. Special mention to Nimesh, the hotel manager. He arranged everything for us, from amazing fresh, seafood dinners to safaris and tours of all the highlights in the region, including some of the local industries that are doing amazing things (tea plantation/factory, textile factory, turtle hatchery and more). Nimesh knows everyone and can put together tailored trips for you. Everything is incredibly reasonable in price and he was kind enough to drive us around himself several days, including for the safari at Udawalawa which was amazing. We stayed on the top floor room, which has a loft (itโ€™s exactly as in the photos). It has perfect a/c and the view from the verandah is great. You look over the whole bay. Itโ€™s ideal for a family of 4. The rooms are simple, but clean and inviting. There can be some minor road noise but it didnโ€™t bother us (might be different with the windows open in the cooler months). Iโ€™m sure the rooms toward the back would be very quiet if thatโ€™s a concern, but you wonโ€™t have the view. Itโ€™s really central too. 10min walk to Kurumba Bay and 2 min into the town centre. Lots of great. Cafes and restaurants within a few minutes walk, as are the surf schools. If you do want surfing lessons, ask Nimesh. He will hook you up with the best school on the beach. Overall, probably the best beach vacation weโ€™ve had (family of 4 with 2 young teens).

    Great staff where nothing is too much to ask or too hard. They can organise transfers too. Good location across from the beach. Can be a tad noisy at times with birds and things.

    Quite good breakfast, although relatively small portion. Great coffee though!

    Nice place to be. Directly on the main road. Near to the beach and everything. Owner really friendly. Clean rooms. AC and terasse. Downstairs also a restaurant. Laundry service. Thanks for staying. See you . โœŒ๏ธ

  • 5/5 Merel B. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely hotel with a relaxed vibe. Perfect place to stay and very tasty breakfast! Big balconies with ocean view. Two Irish couples running the hotel and love to have a chat over a whiskey. Live football matches on a projector screen. Will definitely return!

  • 1/5 Soggy W. 2 years ago on Google
    Not sure what has happened to the food here but it was the worst meal weโ€™ve had in Sri Lanka in 2 weeks. Ordered a veggie burger and it was lettuce, tomato, onion on a bun. The chocolate banana roti was a store bought roti, and the chicken submarine was mostly batter, and the sauce was on the top of the bread roll so couldnโ€™t be eaten with hands. The mojito was the strangest tasting mojito weโ€™ve ever had. Would not recommend.

  • 5/5 Ekaterina S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very comfortable rooms, amazing friendly workers, tasty food (especially huge Submarina sandwiches!) This place is 5 min away (walking distance) from great surfing spots and 30 sec away from the beach ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ While traveling Sri Lanka, I spent one week at Layback in Weligama for a surf and yoga camp. Iโ€™m only one week, I made so much progress in my surfing! They work with small groups with multiple instructors, so it almost felt like a private class sometimes. What also really helped improving my surfing...
