Outstanding hotel and very helpful staff. We recently visited the hotel and stayed there for some 5 nights. Everything was perfect, and despite minor issues (steam room was not working, sometimes food is taking very long) I can say it is really amazing to see how this hotel manages to deliver excellent services despite the national Sri Lanka crisis. Big kudos to the whole hotel team. Highly recommended.

One of the few hotels that truly carries its 5-star rating with pride. Amazing rooms with great amenities and a beautiful minimalist architecture throughout the hotel. The staff goes above and beyond their duties to make your stay comfortable, food was delectable with perfectly matched menu's. Overall 5/5 stars for this place. Highly recommended

We recently had dinner with some friends at the rooftop Japanese restaurant. It was a fantastic experience. The ambience in both the covered and uncovered sections were great. Food was excellent and service was efficient. Highly recommend the Riff to all Hikka fans!

All the staff were really helpful and provided a great service. The food was excellent! Overall experience was amazing and can recommend this hotel to any local or tourist!

It's a 7 stars hotel, amazing interior , very big room, bed and pillows were comfortable, big bathroom with shower box and a nice bath . Great view from the balcony you can see the garden and the ocean . At morning you can walk along the beach or set and relax , very quiet side beach not crowded at all. Staff were very kind and helpful. They have a Japanese restaurant on the roof, best #sushi I've ever had, prices are reasonable. The breakfast was also delicious , but it took them 40 minutes to prepare it. At checkout they gave us a lovely present a very good quality tea . We were lucky to stay at this hotel. Highly recommend .

For us the stay@Riff Hikkaduwa was very enjoyable! Yes it’s a bit more expensive but it’s clear when you read the menu properly. Food was extremely good, at the japanese restaurant as well as downstairs. We had breakfast lunch and dinner in the hotel and all was GREAT! Staff can be a bit slow sometimes but you’ll have a comfortable wait with an amazing view! We would absolutely go back!

Excellent service, excellent food. Definitely worth the price. Food is amazing, presentation is absolutely beautiful. Had amazing sushi at the rooftop restaurant, and the food that is included in the package is amazing as well. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing vacation and amazing food.

We recently visited the hotel to one of our corporate outings and everyone had a great time in this amazing hotel. One great thing about this hotel is it’s architecture where it’s built beautiful and compact with beautiful sea view and beach. It’s surely one of the few hotels that truly carries its 5-star rating with pride. The staff goes above and beyond their duties to make your stay comfortable, food was delectable with perfectly matched menu's. It’s a must to try out from there Japanese roof top restaurant with amazing views at any time. Overall 5/5 stars for this place. Highly recommended.

Beautiful boutique hotel with lovely staff and great atmosphere. We came for lunch and the food was really nice. Beautiful views by the pool and rooftop. They also have a Japanese restaurant open for dinner. Highly recommend this place.

I have stayed here more than 5 times now and every time I visit this place doesn’t fail to deliver. An amazing design type hotel with absolutely amazing food and friendliest staff you could ever come across. General Manager Angelo who was such a wonderful guy made my stay memorable every time I visited. Kudos to all staff members the chefs etc etc. keep up the good work

I really enjoyed my recent stay. The hotel has an amazing view and the rooms are nice and cozy. The beach is very nice. The food is just fabulous. Really looking forward to visiting again.

Amazing stay. Enjoyed every moment. The owner, Mr. Gamini and his wife treated us like their own kids. We did feel like home. Highly recommended.

Absolutely astonishing place to spend holiday. Suit for romantic stay over for couples or families with kids. Staff is super friendly. Hotel restaurant is Michelin quality. Simplistic quality design and decoration. Rooms are spotless and luxury. Pool between the hotel and ocean makes is amazing from morning to late evenings. Beach is quiet, but harsh. Not recommended to swim far from the coast. Snorkeling and sea turtles are just 1-2 km away from the hotel. In a day you can have Safari in Yala national park to see Peacocks, elephants, crocodiles, leopards, water bisons, deers, monkeys and endless amounts of birds. This is option for Maledives, but more activities around it. People really make you feel welcome and will take extra mile to make you feel even better. Our family will come here again - Absolutely.

Exceptional place. I went there with my wife as honeymooners last week. Everything was fantastic. We've given the presidential suite as an free upgrade which we were surprised very much and in the room there was a cake, fruit basket and a Chardonnay waiting for us as complements. The suite was well equipped with almost everything with, two big screen TVs, AC, Living area, Ironing facilities, safe box, bath tub, private swimming pool, mini bar, kitchen, tea making facilities etc. They have an excellent roof top restaurant (tru blue) which we enjoyed a candle light dinner there, and we can see the sundown in the evening while enjoying a large variety of international cuisine. Also they have a ground floor restaurant. They offer room service also. They are maintaining a great beach culture, their dining areas, plates, tiles and bottles etc are looking like sea creatures and corals. The food is magical. For the stay of two days, we enjoyed various kinds of international foods and desserts here and they are very very delicious. We had to check out early in the morning and they had a manager working at 3.00am even. Also they have prepared a pack of snacks and sandwiches for us to take which is very kind of them. We enjoyed our two days very well with outstanding hospitality and not even a single complain or a negative comment. Well done. ❤️

Excellent for catering for large groups. We booked and ordered in advance a few weeks in a row and they got the order correct and out very quickly. Amazing waiters happy to help out and the cocktails and food are fantastic

Great service, beautiful beach hotel. Not too many children and it never felt too busy at the pool. We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were amazing and the hotel management outstanding. Exceptional service. Definitely recommend and would happily go back. Rooftop Japanease restaurant just amazing.

A fantastic and modern design hotel! Pro: - The overall atmosphere is incredible good - Great design and modern rooms - Very friendly and helpful staff - Delicous food! - Calm hotel, not too big - Nice pool and beach access Contra: - Nothing to add here

Went in last weekend for a tiny vacation. The service and all utilities were of top quality. Had a beautiful double bedroom with a ensuite. Had a beautiful view of the ocean from the bed room. Also enjoyed the salt water infity pool 🏝 and the food was of great quality and presented well. The staff was friendly, overall would recommend the place to anyone looking for a quiet vacation. The best Iv visited so far 🖤🏖

Dined here yesterday with friends and family. Truly a design hotel. The lobby itself sets the tone. Classy ambience in the restaurant too. Menu was good and food is possibly the best. Great portion size and price. Service could’ve been a bit quicker but the taste and quality of the food trumped the wait for me. Would go here again for sure. Staff is pretty nice too. A great find in Hikka.

Best steak in Sri Lanka beautiful room decorated with taste staff go above and beyond the call of duty. Great location. Thank you for making our stay unforgettable. Hope to see you in the very near future Anita and Les Posted on Google. Because trip advisor kept losing the plot

Stayed here in June and had the most amazing stay. Everything was a 5/5 and Angelo the hotel manager went above and beyond. Could not recommend this place enough. Tried the sushi restaurant at the hotel and it was also great quality and service. Thanks for an exceptional stay!

Excellent for catering for large groups. We booked and ordered in advance a few weeks in a row and they got the order correct and out very quickly. Amazing waiters happy to help out and the cocktails and food are fantastic

We had a wonderful experience at the Riff Hikkaduwa. Every staff member I encountered were delightful and was eager to help us with everything. Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms. The event which we had was coordinated and organized well. All food served for us was very delicious. As our whole company employees joined us during this trip all the staff members of Riff made sure to give us a good experience. Last but not least Ms. Rockshi helped us a lot in everything with a delightful service. Thank you so much for the service

A very luxurious hotel with a great location and our stay was made so comfortable by the friendly and helpful staff that went above and beyond. We are able to recommend the hotel to anyone who is looking for a 5 star stay with a homely atmosphere. The hotel's facilities include a lovely infinity pool, amazing beach front and also a spa service all within the complex for a full package service. Ranil and Sherine from Melbourne.

A roof top with a large area with a sea wive. Delicious food with two restaurants and roof top dining area. Frindly staff, and good place to spend your holidays. And I'm happy to make my solo guitar music in this place in every time.

Wow! we absolutely loved our 3 night stay at Riff. The hotel location is great, right on the beautiful beach in Hikkaduwa. The rooms are so nicely designed with elegant beach vibes, spacious, really comfy beds and very clean. We had the Presidential suite which is probably one of the nicest hotel rooms I've stayed in, but all the rooms look great. Book it if you can! The food is great, really good Japanese rooftop restaurant and delicious breakfast with lots of options, and all homemade breads and pastries. The staff were really friendly, especially to our two young kids. We met the owner, Dr. Gamini Abeywickrama, who was so lovely and helped us plan our onward journey and gave our son a little present when we left, which he adored. He really made our stay very memorable.

A gorgeous hotel with everything you could need, staff made it an unforgetable stay :) Breakfast was amazing and lots of choice. The room was already made up and cleaned by the time we returned after breakfast :) Staff were incredibly kind, caring and helpful. Food in the rooftop Japanese restaurant was the best I've ever tasted. The rooftop was beautiful, comfortable and a perfect spot to watch the magical sunsets. TukTuk journey to famous Turtle beach was fast.

A good hotel in Hikkaduwa, I think he has no competitors there. A rooftop restaurant with a wonderful view and delicious sushi. Only laundry spoiled some of the light clothes by washing them with something red and brought them as if nothing had happened. And also it was impossible to swim in the ocean during the whole vacation due to strong waves, but this is certainly not the fault of the hotel.

The best welcome that I've in my life. Me and my wife been there 2 nights and was all incredible. Great staff, incredible food (also has a japanese restaurant on the roof) and extraordinary facilities. We've the pleasure to know the owner and he was a very kind person. I hope to come back again!
