OMG - we expected a nice resort, with good food and nice rooms. When we got there we found the food absolutely dire! The buffets were a joke in terms of the price one paid for them. The beach is stunning and the staff helpful. The spa was a joke - run by 1 person. We requested aromatherapy massages and... more

I felt safe here on my own. Bored staff - looking for fat tips. Internet access is a rip off at nearly $9 for half hour. Mainly caters for Italians (and Russians) This hotel just isn't worth the premium room prices it charges. It trades on it's fabulous location but very little else. more

My friends and me have returned from Dickwella a week ago. The location of the hotel is absolutely magnificent. It is too far from noisy and dusty road, very cozy and comfortable location, windy and bathed by the waters of the Indian Ocean from three sides. Our stay there was fantastic in spite of a low season.The weather was marvelous... more

Previous review is so complet, that there's nothing to add, I completely agree to every word. I liked this hotel a lot! Very cosy atmosfere, nice clean territory with coconut trees and nice rooms! Dont confuse it with luxuary, it's NOT luxuary at all!! .. if you are looking for a luxuary this hotel is not your choice, but if... more

I've been in Sri Lanka for 3 weeks with my girlfriend. My general impression on this island - it is not about the beaches, but about the mountains and nature. Having travelled by car for a couple of times from Colombo down to Dickella (which is a good 5 hrs ride) I was pretty much shocked with places like Bentota... more

My wife and I and 2 friends stayed here for 8 days in February. We had been touring kerala and came here for a rest. It was our second visit to Sri Lanka and we have stayed in several top class hotels. We were met at reception with the customary smiles and then shown to our rooms. We were lucky... more

I agree entirely with the previous review! We stayed here for 2 nights recently towards the end of an 18 night tour which took us to 8 other hotels/guest houses in Sri Lanka. We had no complaints with any of these locations, where we encountered hospitable Sri Lankan service throughout. Dickwella Resort is run by Italians for Italians, Russians and... more

My partner and I booked five nights at the Dickwella Resort at the end of our recent three-week stay in Sri Lanka. The idea was to relax on the beach and top-up our tans after travelling around Colombo, Kandy, The Hill Country, Galle and so forth. Until our arrival at the Dickwella we had not had one bad hotel experience,... more
