So this place was recommended to me by a Swiss couple on the platform in Ella. I turned up at 5.30am with little idea of what to expect but I found a great little place. Aqua Inns is beautifully set on the beach: if you're up early enough then you will be treated to a stunning sunrise. The bar is... More

We were planning to stay here 3 nights, but ended up spending 7 nights - AND even though we continued our journey to Habarana for few nights, we still decided to come back to spend the last days of our holiday in Aqua Inn. The location is perfect - right on beach, and Fernandos Bar has a great relaxed, easy-going... More

We arrived here in the afternoon and as such had time to walk along the bay and check out the other accommodation in the area. After checking out the competition,we decided to return to the ivy inn, mainly because of the friendly atmosphere provided by the excellent adjoining "fernandos bar." The hotel and bar was refurbished in December 2012 and... More

We hope your wife is feeling better and we were only too glad to help. After staying with us for 18 days we felt like you were more like part of the family. I am sure my inlaws looked after you well and having accommodation right behind the airport (Fernando's haven) let you have a bit of extra sleep. We... More

We haven't actually been to our room yet so can't comment on cleanliness however all seems ok. The reason we haven't been to our room is that we have been sat enjoying the fantastic beach, sunshine, diving and food. Everything Aqua Inn offers. The owners are great and we had a fab stay. Highly recommended and good value. They also... More

We read reviews on Trip Advisor after we came back from holiday and we are surprised reading so many negative opinions about this hotel. Maybe owners have changed? Anyway, we stayed in Aqua Inn some time. We found this place really good. Service is helpful and with friendly attitude, owners took care of us, especially when my wife was sick,... More

After having a horrible experience next door, I went for Aqua Inns. Great surrounding area, beach huts, close to the beach, friendly service. For a price of 2k LKR you get a clean room with shower. Do not expect Western Standards though. That's not a Hilton Hotel, but you get a neat, clean room and do not have to worry... More
