The most beautiful, professional and well located hotel. We stayed with our 18 month old baby and the staff were always so accommodating. The menu and food from breakfast to dinner is a dream… I could eat there all day! We cannot wait to return to this place! Highly recommend- don’t think twice, book for a beautiful experience by the sea in SriLanka.

Beautiful design hotel with 7 rooms, stunning sea view and excellent staff. We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful time, mainly enjoying the sea view from the nice pool. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly and proactive, especially in the first 2 days of our stay. The room was spacious, modern and super clean.The breakfast was delicious, the dinner (we only had dinner in the hotel on one evening) was ok. There are plenty very good dinner alternatives around.If you’re staying here, you will most likely need to pay higher prices for the transportation via Tuk Tuk if needed. The local Tuk Tuk drivers in front of the hotel gate built a monopoly and ask for prices that are 200-400% above market prices. They defend their monopoly by threatening other drivers, e.g. Uber drivers that want to enter the gate to pick up a customer. This is the only small downside of the otherwise super nice hotel. Since the hotel can’t do anything against this situation (several attempts failed according to hotel management), it still deserves a 5-star rating.

ok hotel, chef was amazing. I would recommend trying dinner at least once, especially the prawn kottu! And the coconut dessert was amazing- see pictureIt’s definitely not 5 star worthy though. Rooms are fine but do not ooze luxury and are not well stocked. Restaurant also charges in dollars which is quite pricey.Our main complaint is our driver and friend who came in with us for check-in was told to leave the site as he was told this is only for guests. He was not offered welcome drink and ignored. In contrast to all the other hotels we have stayed this is a first. Others even offered a drink and snack for him with no complaints.You have to do better guys this isn’t the olden century. I hope the owners fix up the management style.

My husband and I stayed here for four nights; it was the most beautiful, serene stay. The property's sea view was breathtaking. The service of the staff was incredible; the staff were very polite, and kind and gave us an amazing service. Their hospitality is stunning. We visited many countries and stayed at different beach resorts but nothing could do the magic this resort did for us. We could spend hours just sitting in the resort with this amazing view. Would like to thank Tanuja and Shafila, for making this trip most memorable. The property had amazing security and food; the chef gave us a lip-smacking Sri Lankan Breakfast. A must-visit place for a peaceful stay from the everyday hustle of work life to rejuvenate and recoup mental and physical energy.

Our week-long stay at Sielen Diva was an absolute pleasure. Nestled on a serene beach, the tranquil atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing holiday. The cleanliness of our room was impeccable, ensuring our comfort throughout our stay.One of the highlights was undoubtedly the delectable cuisine served at the hotel. Each meal was a culinary delight, leaving us thoroughly satisfied after every bite.While our experience was overwhelmingly positive, there were a couple of minor areas that could be improved upon. We found the pricing of the food to be slightly on the higher side, though the quality certainly justified it. Additionally, there was a small incident with our laundry service resulting in a hole in my favorite shirt. Despite this, we were still asked to pay for the service.However, these slight setbacks did not overshadow the wonderful experience we had at Sielen Diva. The quality service and serene surroundings more than made up for any minor inconveniences. We would gladly return for another stay and highly recommend to fellow travelers seeking a peaceful retreat.
Location
The villa is located in the quiet village of Talpe, a fifteen minute drive to Galle Fort. Sielen Diva is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Bandaranaike International Airport and about the same time from central Colombo. The villa can arrange airport transfers (at additional cost). The fastest way to reach Sielen Diva is by Air Taxi, which takes just 25 minutes from Colombo to Koggala Lake which is then a mere 25 minutes from the villa.
