My stay at the Nilaveli Beach Resort was quite the mixed bag. The location right on the beach provided stunning views and a serene setting, but unfortunately, the beach was littered with plastic waste, which was disappointing. The rooms were comfortable, and I appreciated the overall ambiance, but the crow issue made my relaxation underwhelming. The staff were friendly and did their best, but the dining experience fell short in comparison to other places I've visited in Sri Lanka.

The Nilaveli Beach Resort has a beautiful beachside location, comfortable rooms, and a great selection of food at the restaurant. However, my stay was significantly affected by the excessive presence of crows, which made the environment less peaceful. The service was satisfactory, but I encountered a few maintenance issues with my room. Overall, while the atmosphere was relaxing, the incessant crow noise detracted from the experience.

My stay at this resort was largely wonderful, with an idyllic beach just steps away and an incredibly helpful staff that made the experience memorable. The rooms are beautifully comfortable with stunning views, but the dining options could be improved as they leaned heavily towards Western cuisine. Despite this, the overall ambiance of the place is perfect for relaxation, though I wish the crows had been kept at bay for a quieter experience.

Our stay was an absolute delight! The hotel is situated on a beautiful, quiet beach that feels like a hidden gem. The room was spacious with a stunning view, and the bed was incredibly comfortable; truly one of the best I've experienced. While we enjoyed our time immensely, the dining experience had room for improvement in terms of spice levels. Overall, it offered great value for money, especially considering the peaceful surroundings and attentive service.
