DavidVerified There really needs to be an option for more than 5 stars because our stay at The Lookout was phenomenal! From the early interaction with Nicola through to the amazing service by Sam and the staff we had the most incredible stay. Such a beautiful house - large rooms, private bathrooms attached to each, amazing location right on the beach, attentive staff not just giving great service but making you feel at home, amazing food prepared expertly, lovely pool. A great stay for our family which added to our happy Sri Lankan memories 🇱🇰 HenryVerified Lookout is categorically the best place to stay in Dickwella or Hiriketiya - if you don’t believe me go on google maps satellite and look around - there is no where else with an amazing pool and beach access.If you are choosing between Dickwella and Hiriketiya - trust me, choose Dickwella. It’s the far more beautiful beach to wander and enjoy beautiful sunsets with or without a cocktail.With all its natural advantages, the actual villa is perfect - 4 massive rooms with aircon, big bathrooms, lots of storage space to unpack, big living space, great covered terrace downstairs to eat under and balcony upstairs that rooms along the 3 rooms up there.The pool is brilliant, with padded sun loungers for everyone and sun all day.Staff were the best bit - incredible chef, cooked anything well but the Sri Lankan meals were incredible, Sam, our butler, made everything a joy, and the rest of the team were great - super friendly.For kids - perfect - cribs, toys, food, nanny’s nearby. AngelaVerified A brilliant home for our family to celebrate a significant birthday. Nicola’s team helped make the holiday very special and memorable for us all. Nicola was an exceptional host and thought of everything to maximise our experience. Highly recommended! AmitVerified A short 5 night stay but one that me and the family will remember for a long, long time. Everything was perfect, the location spectacular (a few steps to a stunning beach) and the hospitality better than we could have imagined.The villa is in excellent condition, the rooms and bathrooms all modern and very clean. The open areas are perfect for a family. There’s no TV by design but it says a lot when even with 2 teenagers, this wasn’t missed nor brought up at all. Thank you to Nicola and the entire team for everything! AdamVerified Everything with The Lookout was FANTASTIC! Incredible villa, location and most importantly the staff. It’s like having your own five star hotel with full staff and amenities. Nicola was a wonderful and incredibly responsive host. She went way above and beyond to help us a few times during our stay. She’s the most considerate Airbnb host we have ever stayed with. The one thing which I don’t think the description does a good job explaining is how high the standard of service is. There’s a housekeeper, butler and chef at your disposal for the entirety of your stay. The chef prepares amazing food and Sam (the butler) is as good of a server I’ve seen outside of New York, London or Paris. Overall just a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. BobVerified Wij reizen veel, en ik schrijf niet altijd een recensie. Maar voor deze Villa maak ik graag een uitzending. Wat een goede service van het team. Alles was perfect geregeld, uitstekend eten en 24/7 worden de drankjes en hapjes geregeld die je maar wilt.Het huis is mooi en ruim, zeer nette kamers, goede ac’s en een heerlijk zwembad.Wij komen zeker terug hier.Bedankt allemaal voor de mooie dagen ❤️🥂 WarrenVerified Our stay at Lookout surpassed our expectations. From arrival to our departure, we were catered, looked after and seen to better than most 5 Star hotels. The property and beach were absolutely superb and even better in real life. We arrived to welcoming cocktails and started to ease in our holiday. We all - including the kids loved the facilities, the pool was right on the patio. We had direct access to our very own portion of the beach - which is awesome, long and expansive, with great waves for the kids. We ended up playing cricket almost every day, with morning and evening swims trying some body surfing. There location is also perfect. Quite - secluded, private beach access, but close enough to walk to some great restaurants (Smoke and Bitters is 300m walk), best Cocktail bar in Sri Lanka. Hiriketiya is a 3min TukTuk ride over the hill for some of the best Surfing waves and great local restaurants and bars right on the beach! We will definitely recommend this place! JoshuaVerified Who needs the Maldives? This space was perfect! The staff at the Lookout left no question as to their commitment to service. The space is exquisite and perfectly located. A dream holiday with great staff and hosts for sure. MatthewVerified Beautiful place right on Dikwella beach. Thr staff were great and went out of their way to look after us. The communication from Nicola was great, we all had a great time. XuxaVerified I couldn’t praise this home and everyone linked to it. Nicola was always responsive, always friendly and beyond accommodating. Ash and the rest is the staff were faultless. Everyone made our holiday memorable. The house is beautiful, is in the perfect location, it’s clean and had everything we needed. Can’t wait to go back there again!
