"We had such an amazing time staying at CBeyond Nilaveli. The hotel has the most beautiful location on a virgin, pristine beach, and the food was excellent, especially breakfast and dinner. The Sri Lankan fish for two was the best fish we’ve ever tried. The service was always so kind and helpful. Such a paradise."
