I stayed at Coco Mount for 4 days, and it was a wonderful experience. The host is incredibly nice and kind. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. They welcomed me with coffee and cookies, which was a lovely touch. Breakfast was also very good, and when I requested local food, they happily prepared it for me. It was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back again.

The best stay we had in whole Sri Lanka. The location is superb. You are 10 meters from the beach. Great for surfers. Room is clean, quiet and with amazing sea view. The main part of the experience is the stuff. These guys were absolutely amazing. Honestly I don’t get such service even from my grandma. We felt really welcomed. Tashan and Chamil were the best stuff I have ever experienced in any place I have been yet, always smiling, always helpful. In the kitchen mister Sujee will take care of you and believe me - you have never had better sea food. Absolutely recommending this place. I don’t event want to leave.

Great location on the beach with a nice restaurant / bar by the Ocean. The pool was large and quiet. The family room we booked was spacious with two single beds and a double. The surrounding area felt safe and it was nice to stroll around to the other restaurants in the evenings. The manager was friendly and helped up with whatever we needed. Food was great and the banana pancakes for breakfast were perfect! We’d stay here again and could have stayed longer.

It is so peaceful and beautiful there! The outdoor swinging bed is heaven! The grounds are lovely and the pool is a perfect place to relax. When the tide is out, there's also a small beach. They offered to prepare fish for us on our first night- it was delicious!

Perfect location, right on the beach! In another review, it says 50 meters to the beach - that's not accurate! It's 5 steps. The owners are super nice, and we felt very, very comfortable! The bed is very large (180x200), king-size, and super cozy.
