This is a brilliant hotel for kids

Great transit point where to stop between Mirissa/Weligama/Hikkaduwa and national park/Ella. It is quiet area. Room, especially bathroom (with outdoor shower) is spacious. There are nice little details in the room which will give cozy atmosphere. Owners are very friendly and helpful. We had a great breakfast and dinner. We felt very welcomed here.

Very polite and friendly staff, clean and peaceful place. Food was really tasty. I warmly recommend this hotel!

Breakfast was very nice. Staff was friendly, and we got a full Sri Lankan meal. They also accommodated our requests and were very attentive.

We had the suite, with the large terrace, directly on the beachfront. It was simple amazing! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room service can be arranged by whatsapp. The menu and drinks have enough variety for 5-6 days. The beach is very quite and beautiful. Highlight was diner at the beachfront. Also, the spa menu gives your some good options for relaxation.

The family room is comfortable and large, great cabana with beautiful greens, it’s only 2 minutes walking to the beach, the local breakfast was delicious and generous portion. Staff is very kind and helpful we loved everything.

Having travelled around Sri Lanka for eleven days and experienced various accommodation, Shine Wave was by far the cleanest. The room was equipped to a very high standard with a very comfortable bed and bedding. There were even umbrellas and sunshades to take to the beach! The breakfast was served on a little table on our very private balcony surrounded by tropical trees. The food was also the very best Sri Lankan breakfast we’d been offered, with delicious pancakes as well as all the other things, all beautifully presented. The proprietor bent over backwards to ensure that we had a good beach experience, which we were able to walk to in about a minute down a sandy track, and what a beach! The proprietor told us what to do at eight o’clock that evening in order to see the turtles at night ( i.e. go to the small turtle conservation centre, pay the guides 2000SR each which we believe is used for the conservation project.) That evening, the hotel owner was at the hotel gate where he loaned us his torch to go to the beach. The torch shone a red light, which is the only colour allowed on the beach and is less likely to affect the turtles. We went with a small group of other travellers from the conservation centre, and on the beach we were utterly and totally amazed by what we saw! To begin with, we saw a tiny turtle that had just hatched out of it’s egg, scurrying down the beach and heading for the sea. Then we followed the guide down the beach a little way, where the guide shone his red torchlight on to an enormous green turtle at the back of the beach. She was down in a dip having laid her eggs and was laboriously digging up the sand and burying what was likely to have been about a hundred and twenty eggs. The final thrill was to watch her move slowly back down the beach, leaving her glorious patterns in the sand. When she reached the sea, our last sight of her was when the waves lapped over her …. and then she was gone.

Very friendly management. Can advise you on activities in the area. Provided lovely fresh made meals. Air con good and nice new swimming pool. No traffic noise at night. A good spot for bird sighting and easy walk to a large lagoon area and the beautiful local beach.

Aruni and the Blue Ocean resort team were amazing from start to finish. We booked the ocean view room and it was so stunning that we decided to stay for a month. During that month, we got help from Aruni with booking lagoon tours, setting up a trip to both the safari parks that were nearby and a lot of other things. Whenever we needed tuktuks she would go out of her way to arrange it for us. One time I had to take a sick stray dog to the vet and she arranged everything with the vet and tuktuk to take me there, she even fed him and now he is there often and it was very sweet and she really did not have to do that. I cannot recommend Blue Ocean enough to anyone thinking about staying here. The beach is quiet and huge, there is so much wildlife nearby and there are a couple of restaurants nearby. Whenever we wanted to eat at the resort we would ask her in advance for some fish, lobsters and shrimp. On our last day they even had bbq which was very tasty. Thank you Blue Ocean team. We will definitely be back! And we already miss the two (now three haha) dogs Brownie, Emma and Cheese ball :D
