Solomon Beach Hotel

Marawila

We were spending 11 nice days in Solomon villa. Amazing holidays. Perfect place to enjoy sun, beach and feel local life around. 
About villa- small, clean, spacious rooms with great design, green garden with small pool. Btw, good water pressure in shower and WiFi was working. 
Breakfast - perfect for me - fresh juice , fruits, toasts, eggs - different  menu every morning. It s true that coffee in Srilanka is strange😃 but this is tea country 😊
Staff- friendly and smiling always. Owner Solomon , very kind and nice person, he was helping us to solve out  all our needs. 
When we got bored from lazy  beach life , we were taking Solomon tours by car to different places. Price was competitive and service good. 
I miss Srilanka already, it is green paradise with very nice and smiling people 😍thanks to Solomon hotel team. 

Am I in paradise?- Darling you are in Sri Lanka 😊

We stayed at this hotel for two weeks, accompanied by eight people, the master Solomon, a wonderful, friendly man who knew Russian. He met us personally at the Colombo airport and took us to the villa.

It's a great family hotel.

Hotel has good and convenient location, rooms, pool is Ok. Breakfast very limited and not for everyone from our group was acceptable. Coffee not drinkable. First time in Asia countries we met unfair host, who didn’t give us change. So we paid more than it was booked. He only checked in us , but later during the rest of days he was trying do not meet us.

Host 

We arrived in Marawila at the end of our trip, and at the end of the season so it was pretty quiet. The sea was getting quite rough so we the pool was a bonus.
Soloman was a gracious host and got up early to make our breakfast himself as we are vegan. Our flight wasn't until the evening and Soloman gave us full access to the rooms and facilities until we reluctantly had to leave.
The hotel is lovely with nicely decorated, spaceous rooms which were well equipped and the garden was very pretty and well tended.

Fantastic Host

We arrived to a warm welcome from a very helpful member of staff and were provided with fresh juice. We had booked direct to help the hotel avoid booking agent commission but despite numerous requests for written confirmation and policies none were sent. The room was beautiful in its layout but the smell from chemicals (like rotten eggs) used before we arrived to rid the bathroom of ants (as explained by the staff) was so bad we had the worst night on our entire trip. The pool was very small although of course it looks larger in the photos, and was green at the deep end with algae and some broken edging tiles. There was no onsite shop as listed in their facilities and the restaurant was across and down the road and we're still not sure where the private beach is.

We went out to eat and mistakenly left our TV on as well as a light. This lead to the owner assuming we were in and so the gate was locked. We got back around 10pm and luckily managed to ring for a while on the gate bell until he got up to let us in. It was then padlocked behind us so we couldn't have got out again if we had wanted to. As it was late and we had obviously got him up we did not like to complain at that point about the smell in our room and bathroom but shut the bathroom door and decided to speak to him after breakfast.

After such a bad night we asked about the smell and this was explained and we were offered another room which was accepted. However, the disappointment of the pool and other facilities, plus an early flight home, lead us to decide that 2 nights would be enough and as we would have had to move to a standard room for the 3rd night, we explained to the owner that we would only require 2 nights and would then move closer to the airport. At this point he became very angry and told us we would have to pay for the 3rd night anyway. I tried to explain that he did not send his policies or written confirmation to us at the email address we provided and that we were giving him reasonable notice. We were told that the cancellation policy only stood if we had booked through Booking.com! He eventually agreed to us paying for the 2 nights but said we would have to move our stuff back into the smelly room! He also argued that the room did not smell even though the cleaner had agreed with us and explained the terrible smell.  At this point we decided to cut our losses and leave even though we had already paid for the 2nd night. We asked if he could call us a tuk tuk and he refused, saying he had no numbers for any!!

The staff here are lovely but the owner was unhelpful, rude and behaved like a petulant child. At no time did he offer us an apology for using stinking ant killing chemicals in our accommodation prior to our arrival or even offer any understanding of how badly this affected our first night. Because we complained (in a calm and polite manner) we were treated like the enemy!  His list of facilities are deceptive as they are not in site and his customer service is lacking. We have been to Sri Lanka many times and stayed in many grades of accommodation but this was a memory best forgotten. 

However the staff were lovely and the deluxe room was as it looks in their photos. 

Deceptive!

The hotel is small and very cozy. You feel like you're at home. The staff is very friendly, polite and helpful. The hotel owner Solomon fulfills every wish when he can. The hotel is clean, very well cut, two minutes from the beach. It's in a very quiet corner where there's hardly any. You make the vacation not only physical but also mental. Breakfast is prepared very personally by most of the hotel owners. Every day there was fresh and always something new to eat. Within 14 days, the food doesn't repeat itself. Unless you ask afterwards whether he's preparing Solomon or that dish. We've been grateful to you for all the wonders you could have done.

A dream hotel

The second house! Excellent hotel, cozy rooms, delicious breakfasts, great owner Solomon who can organize everything you want: excursions, fishing and even SWADBU, which is not very expensive!!! The hotel is located 2 minutes from the ocean, shop, there is also a great seafood restaurant, always there lunch and dinner))) This hotel does not need advertising!!! This is the best hotel in Malawi!!! Solomon is the best, and now our witness at the wedding (on the 1st photo - Solomon!!!) Thank you))) Good luck in prosperity!!!

This is a 5* super hotel.

Stayed 2 nights in November 2018 with a couple of friends. Charming hotel with a very spacious room. Very quiet. Very nice lunch. Small but very nice pool. Nice staff. Restaurants nearby. We were in the car and we were able to leave her inside.

charming hotel

A very friendly attitude of the staff and especially of the owner of the hotel Solomon who speaks Russian well and four other languages. A clean swimming pool in which you can bathe around the clock. A well-kept area. There are no Russian channels on TV, you can't even look for it. Electricity and hot water are always there. The beach is practically uninhabited, there is a lifeguard. The problem of the hotel Solomon, who speaks Russian well and speaks four languages. A clean swimming pool in which you can bathe around the clock. A well-kept area. There are no Russian channels, you can't even look for it.

A quiet rest in a Sri Lankan resort is not suitable for amateurs)

Very beautiful setting in a lovely village by the beach. The host is wonderful friendly man and his staff are very nice. Beautiful room with hot water and all amenities. Breakfast each day was just wonderful. We relaxed in the pool surrounded by exceptionally well kept garden and trees. Walked along the beach and along village road and shirt tuk tuk ride to town and bus stop. Definitely recommended.
