Top Hikkaduwa Hotels

Great beach and very relaxed ambience. One has to be aware that credit cards are generally not used in Sri lanka...so you will need sufficient cash to get around (however, things are quite cheap).

We travelled indepently, with a Sri Lankan friend and a driver. We went on a trip in a glass-bottomed boat to see the coral reef. We also saw various fish and a giant turtle. Most other guests at the hotel were part of larger groups, but we were treated very well as independent travellers.
