We had a very pleasant lunch here. The place was a bit deserted when we arrived, but we were given a table by the pool, and enjoyed our lunches, and the attentive service. They have a kids' menu, which is unusual for this kind of place and keeps the costs down. Best of all, they invited us to use their... More

This is a truly lovely hotel, located right on the beach. It appears to be run by a small, closely knit team. The General Manager is charming. The chef is very accommodating. The junior members of the team, although willing, are in need of more training though. Having had a negative experience at a nearby property, we stopped by to... More

We enjoyed a good weekend at Era beach, staff was very friendly & helpful. Nice, small relaxed place. The beach is not that great with the reef, but it was clean & good to walk. Food was good and they prepared certain meals according to our requests, so the fact that there were few options in the menu was not... More

After getting off to a bad start with our 5 night booking, we ended up having 4 very enjoyable days. Having booked 8 months in advance and having our Sri Lankan travel agent go to the property and pick the 2 middle upstairs rooms for us, we were terribly disappointed to be told they had double booked our rooms (we...

Dear Guest, Thank you for posting a review on Trip Advisor. Let me begin by apologizing for the slight mix up at the start of your stay. Though we would like to think that our reservation system has been streamlined to ensure that such errors do not occur, due to the involvement of multiple parties, complications do occasionally arise.

We had high expectations of this hotel. Anyone would, seeing the photos. And you can't take away from it the fact that the location is stunning. Set on an archetypal tropical beach, with palm trees and waves pounding and with real working stilt fishermen just down the bay, it is a dream setting. However, we were upset by the standard... More

I had to call 3 different numbers to make a reservation! When I called the number listed on the website, I was told to call the Colombo office, they in turn directed me back to ERA. The person who answered the phone this time around told me the manager would call back in an hour. A day passed with no... More

in this house you really feel at home: there are a few rooms and they are never all occupied, so the staff, always friendly and smiling, is always at your disposal.

Can highly recommend this boutique hotel- a welcome retreat after ten days touring. Sea view rooms 1 and 2 provided spacious luxury, comfortable beds and large shower rooms.

We like to think that this is due the laid back, relaxing atmosphere Galle is famous for. Throw in the uniquely personalized brand of hospitality Era Beach offers and you’re certainly in for a magical experience. We... More
