The bathrooms were clean, odorless, and good sized with a strong shower. The AC worked really well without being noisy. Meal options were great, high quality dishes made to order - so take care to order at least one hour before you want to eat. The property was so spacious with lots of shady spots to sit by the water. All the staff were incredibly helpful, like they ordered tuktuks for my aunt and I, and the tuktuks came very promptly. We were picked up to go to the railway station at 5:30 AM sharp. From an American perspective the prices of room and meals were all a fantastic deal. I also appreciated the universal charger in the room, which worked for my US plugs. The hotel is nice in that it doesn't feel overly touristy or ostentatious. It's a bit low key but immaculately clean and well-managed. Was interesting to also see the manager's model train set for a nominal fee, check it out on a rainy day esp. if you have kids. I would add, lastly, that the restaurant went to great lengths to accommodate my family member's request for low salt versions of all meals. ##### Indran Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Markkandu Apr 17, 2025 #### Overall experience ##### Markkandu Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Feb 25, 2025 ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Balarajan Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Staff & service It’s my household staple.

If you are looking for a place to relax and hang by the pool or walk down laneways for 10 minutes to a great swimming beach, this place is just great to wind down from the usual tourist trails. The grounds surrounding our accommodation had lots of wildlife, squirrels, geese and even some resident eagles in the coconut palms.. For western travellers, it's handy to know that they have reasonable bar with cold beer and glasses too..A tuk tuk into town is only 5 minutes when you want to see some of the sights such as the Dutch fort. ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable.

It's listed on 'top ten things to do in Batti' as a place to have gin and tonic under the canopy sitting over the lagoon, and I can see why. The property was beautiful and well maintained, the pool was immaculate. I only ate the Sri Lankan food but it was delicious. My only complaint is the bed was extremely uncomfortable, and I left with a sore back, but if you're made of stern stuff it's completely the right place to stay in Batticaloa! ##### Stephanie ### 8/10 Good #### Martin Apr 19, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### Martin ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 30, 2018 ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Flemming Max Mar 11, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Udfra billederne får man fornemmelsen af at være tæt på stranden. Det var en lagoon med krokodiller. Værelset var mørkt og dystert. Maden var god og hjælpsom personale ##### Flemming Max Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Feb 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Riviera Resort Very pleasant extensive grounds with good swimming pool albeit a bit of a hike from our room (300m). Beautiful views of the lagoon and the hotel has lots of information about the area. The food pricing is tedious. Instead of including the price of a curry with 3 or 4 side vegetable curries each dish is separately priced which bumps the cost up. We had the good inclusive breakfast but if you don't, each item down to per slice of toast is separately priced! However, the room was excellent value for money and we wished we'd stayed here longer. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1930-p8272a570-16ea-11e8-9cbc-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s209-p711bb640-16ea-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s378-p888e0fd0-16ea-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s64-p76f1da40-16ea-11e8-9b80-6a03179474b2-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel June West L.A., a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-June-West-LA.h1683637.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Las Vegas – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Harrahs-Hotel-And-Casino-Las-Vegas.h41307.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Montreal Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Montreal-Airport.h1501074.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hotel-Lulu.h20965.Hotel-Information) > > [3 Star Hotels in Wandering River](https://www.expedia.ca/3Star-Wandering-River-Hotels.s30-0-d3000385492.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180032-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn London-Bloomsbury Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Bloomsbury-Hotel.h22262.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.ca/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Melia Cozumel All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cozumel-Hotels-Melia-Cozumel-All-Inclusive.h525790.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandpearl Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-Sandpearl-Resort.h1460.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Petersburg - Clearwater](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels.d178310.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [4 Star Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/4Star-Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.s40-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Montego Bay (MBJ) to Punta Cana (PUJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mbj/puj/montego-bay-to-punta-cana) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/mia/edmonton-to-miami) > > [Porter Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Porter-Airlines-Flights.cPD.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to London (YXU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yxu/winnipeg-to-london) > > [Flights from Jeddah (JED) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jed/ist/jeddah-to-istanbul) ### Cars > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Ottawa.d178296-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Cruise > [Cruises from Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-from-Boston.d178239.Cruise-Departure-Port) ### Packages > [Portugal Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Portugal.d147.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/117/Mexico) > > [Halifax Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax.d602873.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Rossio Square](https://www.expedia.ca/Rossio-Square-Baixa.d507719.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Noosa Heads](https://www.expedia.ca/Sunshine-Coast-Noosa-Heads.dx181632)
