I like this hotel very much. It is located on a very quiet beach. It is very suitable for families who like a quiet vacation. The hotel staff are very nice. The three meals a day are also very delicious. The room is comfortable and the seaside scenery is unbeatable.

The room was very good, the service was very good, and when they learned that we were Chinese, they specially asked the chef to make a Chinese-style braised dish! Every staff member was very enthusiastic

A very quiet private villa star hotel, with exclusive beach, very clean, and very enjoyable to walk around every day. But there is nothing around, only suitable for staying in the hotel! You can go to the beach at night to see many hermit crabs, and we also saw fireflies

This place will forever hold a special place in my heart as my fiancé chose Kumu Beach Hotel to surprise me with a proposal during our stay here! We stayed for 3 nights and honestly didn't want to leave. Of course the engagement made the hotel extra sentimental for us but I have to say the hospitality and hotel itself were outstanding! The staff were incredible - super warm and attentive. (I later found out just how helpful they had been with accommodating and organizing the proposal with my partner too). Kumu Beach did not disappoint with their Menu either, personally felt it was the best food we had across our tour of Sri Lanka, I'm still dreaming about the prawn tikka wrap I ate for lunch! The breakfast and dinner were incredible too throughly enjoyed being able to try different dishes during our stay, which served a selection of local Sri Lankan food and western cuisine which were all exquisite. They were also very understanding of my partners coeliac disease and were able to easily make changes to the menu for him. To top all of this, let's talk about its location and landscape: JUST WOW! it was a blessing to be surrounded by its diversity, the sound of waves crashing every morning/throughout the night and birds singing. We stayed in room 5 with an incredible view over the private beach, which felt very remote, there was often only my finance and I on the beach which made it feel extremely private indeed. Everything about the Hotel, from its location, food and interior design were picture worthy! Thank you to the staff who made the stay just PERFECT!

Stunning views, pool, food, service. This is a very very special hotel. You are pampered by the incredible team. The rooms are beautiful and overall design very thoughtful. We came with our teenage daughters and all loved it. Wonderful touches such as tea and cake served at 3:30 and complimentary happy hour at 6pm. A very well run hotel. Thank you!

This hotel truly is exceptional. It is intimate and stylish in a beautiful beach setting. All the staff are gracious and friendly, going out of their way to make every guest feel special. They even trawled the swimming pool early in the morning before we were up to retrieve my husband’s lost wedding ring. We were delighted when it was found as we never expected to se it again. Rooms are light and airy, with wonderful views across the garden and beach. The bathrooms are huge with every amenity one could possibly need. What could possibly be nicer than to lie in our supremely comfortable bed at night listening to the waves crashing on the shore? The food is excellent, with plenty of choice and always presented with utmost care. If are considering staying at Kumu beach do-not hesitate. You will love it.
