Luxurious Ocean View Suite

I was fortunate to stay in an ocean view suite, which was incredibly spacious and well-appointed with modern furnishings. The large windows offered amazing views, and the en-suite bathroom was simply luxurious with all high-quality amenities. The complimentary mini bar was a good touch, making the experience feel even more special.

Delectable Culinary Options

The dining experience at Kumu Beach was excellent! I was blown away by the delicious food prepared by the executive chefs, with meal options that catered to my taste perfectly. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and I particularly enjoyed a fish curry that was the best I had during my trip to Sri Lanka.

Relaxing Infinity Pool

The infinity pool at Kumu Beach was a highlight of my stay. Nestled between lush gardens and the ocean, it provided a tranquil oasis. I thoroughly enjoyed lounging by the pool, sipping refreshing drinks, and soaking in the beautiful surroundings. It was the perfect spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploration.

Exquisite Bathroom Amenities

The bathroom in my ocean view suite was absolutely stunning. It was spacious with luxurious fittings, and always impeccably clean. I loved the attention to detail, as they provided high-quality toiletries and a lovely open shower that felt like a spa experience. It made every moment spent there feel indulgent.

My stay at Kumu Beach was nothing short of incredible! The hotel provides a serene atmosphere with only ten rooms, ensuring a tranquil experience. The staff delivered extraordinary service, really going above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Although I didn’t experience any significant issues, I felt that having more varied dining options could enhance the overall experience. However, everything else was just perfect, especially the view and cleanliness.

Kumu Beach Hotel is an absolute gem for a relaxing getaway, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful private beach. The hospitality here is top-notch, with attentive staff who genuinely care about making your stay special. The food is delicious but could use a few more options on the menu if you're staying longer. While the amenities are decent, it’s a shame that the spa is not operational, as it was something I was really looking forward to enjoying.
