J7 Villaj Resort

The Sri Lankan breakfasts were delicious and freshly made. The pool and surrounding area were well kept, and the service was attentive and lovely. It was generally clean too. We’d happily come back in the future.

We were happy with our eight-night stay, breakfast included. The room was spacious and clean, and staff cleaned it when we asked. Everyone was friendly, and we often got freshly squeezed juice with breakfast.

We’re glad we chose this hotel, it felt like good value for money. Vivian welcomed us, talked us through the place and our options, and adjusted things for our vegetarian food needs. The dinner staff were helpful as well, and the team supported us with most of what we needed.

The staff are the part I’ll miss most. They were always smiling, caring, and ready to help, whether I had a silly question or needed a ride arranged. The hotel is tucked away from the main street in a neat little spot, and it feels stylish and modern. The pool is inside the building, so it’s private and comfortable, though small. A few tiles are chipped and need replacing, but the grounds are otherwise immaculate. It’s a five-minute walk to the beach, with lots of good cafes nearby. The rooms are roomy and clean, with great air conditioning and what you need. There were a few minor bathroom issues, and if something’s missing, just ask the staff. Breakfast wasn’t lavish, but the dishes were tasty and fresh juice was a nice touch. I’m sold. A very nice place for a sweet price, especially for budget travellers or anyone after a chill environment. I’d definitely recommend staying.
