    Unfortunately very bad experience with this place. The hotel accepted telephone reservation after long negotiations. The employee tried to use an absurdly high dollar exchange rate, about 20% higher than the price on the street, or to force us to pay in USD while we wanted to pay in the local currency. We set a price below the one presented on booking.com and we agreed to the reservation. Then, on the day of arrival, 2 hours before check-in, the employee informed us that the pipe was broken in the exact room where we were supposed to be and there is no other room to accommodate us. A story like from a thriller movie ;-) I asked for a photo of the damaged room, of course any communication with the hotel was already dead at this time. I am pretty sure someone has booked our room for better price and the pipe for him was already operationalā€¦ Therefore, I do not recommend this place. That's not how business is done.

    Such a hidden gem! Great location, with basically a private beach out front. Deck chairs overlook the ocean and has direct access to the beach. The bay was filled with schools of sardines when we were there! Incredible for snorkeling. Rooms were big and comfortable with AC and sea views

    The staff are so lovely, the views are epic (especially from our room), the food is yummy and a good price. This is the second time we have stayed here and totally recommend this amazing hotel. The staff accommodated for all of our needs yet again. The owner is extremely helpful and considerate. We enjoyed surfing, snorkelling and swimming in the crystal clear waters. The rooms are large with very high ceilings. There is everything you need in the rooms including a fridge, air con, wardrobe and outdoor chairs and table. It is worth the extra money to get the second level sea view rooms. Itā€™s quite a secluded spot that is a surfers paradise. We will be back again for sure. Thank you New Bay View Villa for another amazing stay. We live Sri Lankan and everything it represents.

    The staff is very friendly and helps you out with anything. We enjoyed our stay here a lot and will definitely come back. We had a spacious and comfortable room with AC and warm water. The best was the amazing view over the ocean, which we could perfectly enjoy from our private balcony and which delivered us some stunning sunsets.

    I Visited Srilanka for the first time with my friends. Had a amazing opportunity to meet this lovely people in the stay. Kasoor one of the staff went above and beyond in his service and was absolutely top notch! The chef Shane was brilliant and was mind-blowing in his exclusive cuisine The entire staff were absolutely friendly, accomodative and friendly. Last but not the least the owner Suresh was really a great man ensuring we got the best of service. If your thinking of visiting Srilanka don't think twice to stay in this place. I bet you will not regret it.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible establishment for a two-day getaway, and I can't say enough about the exceptional experience I had. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and an ambiance that exuded elegance. Let's start with the culinary delight that is Chef Shane's creations. Every meal was a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. Shane's culinary expertise is unmatched, and his attention to detail in every dish was truly remarkable. The dining experience alone is worth the visit! The impeccable service was not limited to the dining room. Kasur, one of the dedicated employees, was a shining star in ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfection. His attentiveness, professionalism, and warm demeanor made us feel like valued guests from the very beginning. And last but certainly not least, Owner Suresh is a testament to what it means to run a top-tier establishment. His passion for creating a memorable experience for guests is evident in every aspect of the stay. Suresh's personal touch and commitment to excellence truly set this place apart. In conclusion, I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a two-day retreat that combines exquisite cuisine, outstanding service from employees like Kasur, and the personal touch of an owner like Suresh, look no further. This was an unforgettable experience that left me eagerly anticipating my next visit. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay truly remarkable!

    The most amazing experience Iā€™ve had staying in Sri Lanka. To start off, the rooms are gorgeous and I got an amazing room with a sea view that was awesome waking up to every morning. The cleaning staff made sure the room was extremely clean and welcoming, and even helped me do my laundry as well while staying here! Secondly, the food was the best Iā€™ve had in Sri lanaka. It was absolutely incredible and the chefs are magicians - they have some of the most delicious sea food (lobster šŸ˜‹), Shakshuka, and breakfast one could ask for! I tried a couple other places in the area but none compared to what the chefs made here and I ended up eating here for all my meals!! Lastly, the people are all so welcoming and nice and really treat you like family. They take pride in their work and made my experience amazing. Could not recommend this place more for anyone considering staying down south! The surfing and scuba diving in the area are also top notch!! ā¤ļøā¤ļø

The bay was filled with schools of sardines when we were there! Incredible for snorkeling. Rooms were big and comfortable with AC and sea views. Breakfast was extensive and be sure to have lunch/dinner there too, the food was brilliant! From the fresh fish to prawns to Kotu, you cant go wrong!

    Amazing hotel located in a calm bay directly by the water. The staff is very friendly and helps you out with anything. We enjoyed our stay here a lot and will definitely come back. We had a spacious and comfortable room with AC and warm water. The best was the amazing view over the ocean, which we could perfectly enjoy from our private balcony and which delivered us some stunning sunsets.

    This was THE BEST Spa I have ever been to. The staff is friendly and attentive. There were 5 of us in our group and the bride to be wanted a spa day with massage, sauna, steam room, relaxation room, showers, pool and lunch. We were all completely relaxed, rejuvenated and recharged. I absolutely love this place and will be back 100%

    Wonderful location and friendly staff. This place has so much potential unfortunately the features it offers have been rather a letdown. The New Bay View Villa runs at $50 per night. The most disappointing part are the rooms. They are worn out, old-fashioned and most of all slightly smelly. After waking up we discovered a huge bunch of ants running across the furniture and some impressive big cockroach in our room. Thats something that just shouldn't happen. We would not recommend this place to friends.

  • 5/5 Madu 4 years ago on Google
    Breathtaking sea view at your doorstep itself. Youā€™ll find tiny hermit crabs randomly walking here and there.. You get a private beach space and can snorkel too.. Staff is very friendly. Not too far from the main city. Donā€™t forget to take a mosquito repellent if you are planning to spend a little time at night outdoors enjoying sea breeze.

  • 5/5 Alexis Tƶnnies Gonzalez (Tenerife Apartments A. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing place with great view, location and friendly staff. 1 Meter away you can enjoy your almost Private beach. Some guests complain about ants. But you are in the Nature and its really fantastic. Really recommend this place.

    Warm hospitality and good staffs. Best sea food I have ever had in my entire life. Trust me you will never find any such place else where.

  • 2/5 Lasantha W. 2 years ago on Google
    Decided to stay in Weligama after a business visit instead of driving back to Colombo. The hotel is right at the end of a narrow path, so if itā€™s a wide vehicle you will have some difficulties getting in and reversing out of the property (neighbors are generally helpful and will remove tuk tuks from the road) Rooms are small and so is the washrooms but I guess thatā€™s the case for most hotels in this area. Lock of access door to open area in the rear was broken so had to keep is tied up using some clothes. No TV / tea coffee facilities. Meals are off the menu and is pricier than average ! Also got to make sure that you get what you order ! - ordered fish & chips, whereas the menu mentioned a salad along with it, the waiter flatly stated itā€™s not. Once I asked him to bring the menu, he went off with the salad and declared he had not seen it ! Overall, stay was ok. Not really VFM. Property is on the beach and almost on the sea ! Not sure whether the reservation for sea had been eroded as thereā€™s very little beach. I had forgotten my I phone charger and called a day later - both calls on day 1 were answered with extreme uninterest and was asked to call back ! On the second day, someone with better customer skills answered and later called back to say that the charger is not there !

    first of all the location is perfect. it's directly on the sea, you hear the waves and it's a super quiet area, away from roads. the food is also very good, it was one of the best fish I ever had. they have good cocktails and the staff is super friendly. they have a restaurant area and a nice chill out area to have drinks. you can take a dip in the sea, they have a beach directly in front. totally recommend!
