My wife and I are from Texas, US. We were in the Mirisa beach area and wanted a break from the busy tourist scene. Were informed of some hotels in the Tangalle area and choose the Sooriya resort in Rekawa based on feedback from a German couple we met. The hotel was peaceful and quiet, it was exactly what we were looking for. Away from the hustle and bustle. The room had a nice sea view and we stayed for 4 nights. The food was very good with many local dishes as well. Staff were very friendly and the reception arranged an excursion day trip for us. There is a swimmable beach within walking distance and we were lucky to see turtles on shore. The hotel is in a secluded location with nice gardens. The access road to the hotel was not yet developed fully and the ride was a bit bumpy but not a big problem. Pool was clean with nice view. Next time I visit Sri Lanka it will be to explore the northern parts such as Sigiriya, Trincomalee , Jaffna, and the ruins in the Anuradhapura, Mihintale area. However, will try and unwind at Sooriya resort at least for a few days at the end of the sight seeing. Overall , good value for money if you are looking for relaxing away from the busy beach hotels 20 minutes away.
