Grand Rockland Hotel, hotel in Matara

Located in Matara, 1.5 km from Matara Beach, Grand Rockland Hotel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. This 3-star hotel offers a bar.

I recently stayed at Grand Rockland in Matara, Sri Lanka, and it was great. The location is excellent, and the hotel is very well maintained. It’s perfect if you enjoy social and party vibes. Our room was wonderful, especially the private outdoor garden. The staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. I also liked the antiques displayed around the hotel. The restaurant offered a range of tasty options, including Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Indian dishes, as well as delicious pastries. The night atmosphere was calm and relaxing. One of the best parts was the boat ride arranged by the hotel. We saw crocodiles, birds, and beautiful islands in the river. Overall, I had a great stay at Grand Rockland and would definitely recommend it.

    Nice place, but you have to make an effort to explore, which is nice. Not the commercial fully packaged commercial tourist deal. Good quirky options. Has quite a lot of Sri Lanka's history, forts, but courts, and old paved streets, as I said, a great if you make a little effort to explore. The Duchman's Street is a great beachside restaurant!

    Nature. Natural food.

    Nature. Natural food. Luckily, not too many tourists yet, and it is not too crowded like in other parts of the island (e.g., in Merissa.)Avoid Matara city itself - it's crowded. Look for places nearby, where Google View shows more green color.

    Polhena beach is an excellent place to have a safe swim for a traveller and can see turtles in the sea if you are lucky enough. And can visit Matara light house and Kudawalla water air hole by travelling a bit from Matara which has another nice beach.

    Polhena is a nice village, Matara is a nice city with friendly people. There is lots to do in this area. For example guided snorkling at Polhena Beach where you can really swim with the turtles, a boattrip on the Nilwala Ganga where you can see crocodiles. Or visit the Starfort. A great restaurant in Matara city is Dutchmanstreet restaurant. In Polhena i recommend eating at Sunil Rest, Blue Corals or Reef Edge restaurant. Walking around at night in Polhena... take a stick and flash light with you, the street dogs just had puppys (cute) but their mother instinct gave me the creeps.

    Matara is great transport hub, has fast bus connection with Colombo (via expressway). Also most buses on south pass through Matara. Though it's not a good place to stay longer - crowds, no good beaches, high prices.

    Very spacious, our favorite spot was the terrace where we always had breakfast, Sri lankan breakfast was the best! The host and his mother were amazing, helped us out with everything! So kind with children. Very close walking distance to the surfers spot and also turtle watching. Also the supermarket was very close and the main road so very easy for us to visit nearby beaches like Mirissa and Coconut Hill. Also they helped us out for the transfer to our next destination! So altogether great!! Thank you for everything :)
