Nico Beach

This hotel is truly underrated! The location is perfect on the beach but secluded from the city, private and luxurious. Large rooms in good condition and large pool. The view is magical and the atmosphere is calming. The owners are Swedish and the staff are kind and helpful.

Great location right by the beach with beautiful views. Edgar was wonderfully helpful and informative.

Very Overpriced, the rooms are basic (no tv, kettle, water and seating area. Also the hotel do not accept card payments. There are lots of nicer hotels that are in a better location and are cheaper.

Lovely family run hotel. Very helpful with a newly built hotel and pool. Beda comfortable and bathrooms very big. We had a non sea facing room but with large balcony and places to get away from the couple of thunder storms that came whilsr we were here

Location was nice but the owner was very bad. They charged us exchange rate for dollar higher than it is which was quite extra. Would not recommend this hotel. Didn’t feel the hotel welcoming. Why would we give 230 ruppes for 1 dollar when the exchange rate actually less than 200 rupees? Very unprofessional.

I was staying in the hotel for over two weeks. Because we wanted to see most of the tourist attractions (all of them are far from the hotel but we knew that beforehand) we only treated the hotel as an accommodation. Hotel was ok, staff was very friendly although we were leaving a large tips. What we have noticed it's a lot of very poorly, infected cats around the dining area and pool. And we are aware that due to the religion they can not be look after but so many of them being sick and in the hotel premises is appealing. I have few photos of them but they are heartbreaking. Second thing is I left the winter coat in the hotel. I was in a hurry. It;s not a big deal- I've paid for that coat about 120 Euroes a week before that holiday and because I travel often (I've been in Sri Lanka twice since my visit) I could easly pick it up. I've realised that I left coat in the hotel during the transfer jurney from the hotel to the airport and the person- as my understanding is representative of the hotel promised it will get deliver to me as it's hotels fault that the person who came at the same time we were leaving haven't realised the missing item was left behind. Hotel response was that they found it but they have no car to arrange that 10 min.transport (as that far we were at the time from the hotel). I exchanged several messages with that person- hotel representative responsible to get us safe to the airport who was assuring me I'll receive coat back. I never did, instead I received several inappropriate messages from the same person which had nothing to do with the coat. As I mentioned before I could pick up coat easly after as I was in Sri Lanka twice since but noone responded to any of the email I've sent. I thought maybe I have the wrong email address but Tui confirmed its correct. It's a shame as I travel very often- visited over 40 countries; stayed in over 1000 hotels and I've never experienced such an ignorance and incompetence.

Rooms were great, and the beach and pool were pretty good too. Not too far from the main town. One of the biggest problems was the owner and the way the place is run. There is definitely a difference in the way she talks to locals and foreigners. Shouting from one side of the pool to close the tap is absurd. Overall fantastic place, could do with an attitude adjustment.

Nice beach is a gem. If you have found this place you should consider yourself lucky. The staff is super friendly, the place is clean, it is your little piece of paradise on the beach. You sleep to the sound of the waves.
