Bella Nilaveli Beach

Very relaxed resort. High quality staff, especially Dusan and Amgie. The chef Shan made every day delicious dishes with fresh ingredients they mostly grow themselves by gardener Nadan. Fine room; bathroom could use some renovation. Close to the beach and the pool is fabulous!

Schöne, ruhige Anlage mit Pool und angelegtem Garten Zum Hotel gehört auch eine Bar/Restaurant, welches sehr gutes Essen anbietet. Das Personal war jederzeit hilfsbereit und hat uns mit Tipps zu alternativen Essensmöglichkeiten geholfen. Unser Zimmer war sehr groß, waren zu zweit in einem Familienzimmer mit zwei separaten Räumen. Kleiner Abstrich beim Badezimmer, da dieses leider schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist.

Een paradijselijk plekje. We hadden 2 bungalows aan elkaar. Op ons terras hadden we regelmatig gezelschap van hun katje en hond (Bella). Er is een prachtig zwembad. Dit alles op loopafstand van het strand. Het personeel helpt je overal mee. Het eten is heerlijk! Een dikke 10 voor alles!!

We spent a wonderful week in pineapple house at Bella nilaveli with our 6 year old son. It was ideal as it had a separate room for him and it was literally steps to the swimming pool so we could sit on the patio and watch him (he would happily stay in the pool all day). Staff were so welcoming and friendly from the start. The swimming pool is nice and clean and a perfect temperature. We spent a lot of time in it during our stay. The beautiful nilaveli beach is two minutes walk away. We enjoyed our walks along the beach, playing in the waves and trying out some of the beach restaurants. The food at Bella nilaveli is also delicious and we very much enjoyed the breakfast spreads. We also went to pigeon island (trip organised by Bella). It was wonderful. We were allowed plenty of time to snorkel as much as we wanted. I would highly recommend bella to anyone and it was perfect for our family.

Mille mercis pour tout. Nous avons passé 3 jours de rêve au Bella beach hotel près de la plus belle plage de Nilaveli, dans de confortables bungalows. Merci aux employés pour leur grand professionnalisme, leur disponibilité et toujours avec le sourire avec une mention spéciale pour le duo Dasun et le super chef cuisinier Shahaan. Piscine bien agréable dans un jardin luxuriant. Notre fils gardera un souvenir inoubliable de sa sortie en mer et de ses poissons pêchés que Shahaan nous a merveilleusement préparés. Encore bravo et merci !!

We were really excited to stay here however we were slightly disappointed with the lack of attention to detail. Overall the bed was comfortable and the location was excellent. The breakfast was delicious, made fresh for each table and available at a time that suited us. The shower was good and had hot water, and we really enjoyed the bathroom being outside. The staff were attentive to our needs and dealt with any request we had without a hitch. We really liked having the pool too and being a small complex meant that it was always calm and quiet around the pool. We really loved that the 5 cats and a dog were really well cared for and clearly enjoyed being around the guests. The room left us feeling a little disheartened. The bed nets had holes in them and one was patched up with a plaster - that's right, a band aid. The sheets were old and worn, I could clearly see two worn patches from the couples who had stayed here before us. The fridge was dirty, smelled and had dead ants inside. The room was incredibly dark and the only mirror was above the sink outside. This didn't have a light above it and so getting ready to go out was really hard. The number of mosquitos in the room was astounding. We killed as many as we could, luckily had our own plug-in repellent and a bed net (with holes) and were bitten more here than our entire trip in Sri Lanka, including when we were in the jungle. I tried to open the curtain on our first day and the whole pole came tumbling down on top of me. The original wooden pole had been replaced with a light weight plastic pipe which fell EVERY time you tried to open or close the curtains. There was no wifi in the room, this was only available at the restaurant and around the pool. On 3/6 of the days we were here, the wifi data had run out and we were not able to use the wifi for most of the day. On one of the days there was a powercut and so we were unable to use it on this day either. It's important to note that we're not huge users of data and simply wanted to go on social media or message family but were unable to do so because other guests were using it do stream. It would probably be wise to just get a better plan that reaches all of the rooms with more data. One morning we were awoken at 6:30am because someone was sweeping our veranda. Overall we really enjoyed our stay in Nilaveli and the location couldn't have been better. We thought that Bella Nilaveli was going to be luxury without the luxury price tag and we've come away feeling like the owners need to spend a few nights in the room to identify what's missing.
