Absolutely love this place ! The hotel is right on beach , its in the main surfing point of Hikkaduwa. Everything you need is right around the hotel . And the hotel itself is really beautiful, even better than I thought it would be! The service and the food at the restaurant is also amazing, you get to sit and eat watching the sunset.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location, next to the beach and in a walking distance from the city centre. Super cute terrace/restaurant by the sea, breakfast is served there. Nice pool. Not a busy place. In seaside rooms you can hear the ocean to your bed, lovely! Our room had a lovely balcony. Very cozy place, can recommend!
Breakfast is quite simple. Water pressure in the shower could be better.

This was my second time in this hotel , i was here last year and WOW the difference is really incredible, they have renovated the entire hotel , rooms are not expensive either but it has all facilities you need like fridge, TV , heater , hair dryers and the bathrooms are really nice 👌Has a nice garden with a beautiful pool , and the beach is also right infront of the hotel.

Hotel is Well situated and the staff are so friendly and helpful , make you feel at home, nothing is too much trouble. Food is delicious. This was my first trip to Sri Lanka and my first destination. I booked the hotel car to pick me up from the airport which was excellent . Highly recommend the Drifters hotel for your Hikkaduwa stay.

The location is excellent, with a nice wide part of the beach in front (To the North, nearer Hikkaduwa it is much narrower. . Great for surfing and just hanging out watching the waves and beautiful sunsets. Lalith the manager and the rest of the staff were all very friendly and very helpful when advice was asked for. Excellent clean pool for when you tire of the beach really elevates the good value of this place. Good transport links to other areas by bus, train etc.All facilities close by.Would visit again!
Maybe more could be made of the beach side outdoor area and cabanas which were okay.
