The Asian Jewel really is a gem of a hotel. In large measure, this is down to the proprietors, Dale and Tanya. It would be difficult to find a more hospitable couple. The welcome I received on arrival was the warmest I have ever received in any hotel and this set the tone for the whole of my stay. The... more

My wife and I booked the Asian Jewel rather than a traditional beach-front hotel purely on the strength of the reviews on this site - although we joked on the journey there that it all the comments sounded 'paid for' or written by the owners themselves - we were delighted with our choice: it really is that good! From the... more

This was our first week ever in Asia and having such gracious and friendly hosts Dale and Tanya was comforting and wonderful. The place was spotless, food excellent, staff genuinely interested in helping. They were loaded with very helpful information such as where to exchange currency, snorkle, dive, and how to negotiate with locals. We learned from Surath how to... more

We booked 5 nights at Asian Jewel after reading the TA reviews so we had high expectations and they were well and truly exceeded. What a beautiful hotel! The attention to detail in the rooms and around the property make it a really special, classy place. We stayed in the luxury room with a four poster bed and raised bathtub... more

Whilst staying further south on the Sri Lankan coast, we stumbled across the Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel, through recommendations of other Trip Advisors, whilst looking for our next stop on our 2.5 week trip in Sri Lanka. We originally planned to stay for only two nights, but enjoyed it so much we stayed for four nights and loved every minute... more

I went to this resort a couple of times as a treat to have lunch and a swim in their pool. The hosts are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about how to get things done, were to go, and what is best to do around Hikkaduwa. It is inland from the coast and sited in rolling country a 6 minute tuktuk... more

Five months has gone by and I still cannot stop thinking and dreaming of the breathtaking place my partner and myself stayed while we were in Sri Lanka this May. I was one of the lucky ones who were introduced to this little heaven on earth as my partner stayed the previous year. Its name is ‘Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel’... more

We have just spent 7 nights at Asian Jewel and have come away feeling very sad to leave and having been thoroughly spoilt. This was our fourth visit to Sri Lanka and we wanted to go to some places that weren't on the usual tours. We booked directly with the hotel, having read the reviews on this website and when... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 10 day long holiday in Sri Lanka. The country is beautiful with so much to see but what made our holiday just perfect was our stay at the Asian Jewel in Hikkaduwa. If you are looking for a place that offers the comforts of home, fantastic and personalised service, mouth watering... more
