Ocean Bliss, hotel in Pottuvil

Featuring garden views, Ocean Bliss in Pottuvil provides accommodations and a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

The location was excellent. Very close to the beach, the surfing point and the restaurants. We had our bags stored before our room was ready, and when we left we could keep the room for the entire day until our night bus arrived since the room had not been booked by others. New AC working very well. Room and bathroom was clean.

    Amazing location next to a beach. Loved resting in a hammock with an ocean view. Everything is clean and nice. Murali cooks really good. His food was very tasty. Uncle Sella and Murali were very helpful and great hosts. In two months we are coming back!

    The location is 10 min walking from the beach and 20 min from pottovil surfing. Location is quiet, yet close enough to the beach and surfing point. The garden of the property is beautiful with a nice seating area for breakfast and dinner.

    Property is in a great location close to the Main Street, the beach and main surf point. The hosts are so lovely, and offer to prepare breakfast/coffee/juice every morning - we were only supposed to be staying for 5 nights but ended up extending for another 5 as the room is such good value for money. It’s clean, spacious, has a fan and A/C which is all we needed out of a room. Thankyou for having us

    The property was amazing! It was very quiet and peaceful. The chalet was such a fun spot to stay a few nights, surrounded by a beautiful garden and art made by the owner. You can tell they have put a lot of love and thought into the details and it just feels a little bit magical staying there :) The food was delicious and the hosts were so kind and accomodating. It’s an easy walk to the beach.
