Asian Jewel Boutique Hotel

Although the rooms are a little dated, they are clean and spacious with a lovely large terrace in a lovely location overlooking a beautiful lake. We really enjoyed the view whilst having our morning coffee and saw various birds and parrots. The rooms are actually above a restaurant and just 7 minutes from town via tuk tuk. So if you are looking for character with a lovely chilled garden pool area look no further! All the staff are so friendly and the food is beyond delicious- as well as having a lovely breakfast here each morning, we enjoyed a fresh tuna salad and their amazing Sri Lankan curry. We enjoyed our stay here!

This was our second stay at Asian Jewel and it was every bit as enjoyable as the first. Our room (Jasmine) had a direct panoramic view of Bird Lake and we saw many different species of birds as well as small animals including chipmunks, water monitors, geckos (and a cobra one one day but soon banished by the staff...). The staff here are wonderful, friendly and welcoming and nothing too much trouble, and the food is excellent with both Sri Lankan and British options. We are vegetarians and they went out of their way to adapt meals pretty much to whatever suits, but the star of the show is the Sri Lankan rice and curry. It is in a peaceful location but only a short and cheap tuk tuk ride - around £1.75 - into the more hectic beach area.We would strongly recommend.

The rooms are a little tired and dated, but the whole experience of this hidden gem is fantastic. By far, the best food served in Hikkaduwa..... The only place to experience the Authentic Local Curry!!!! Amazing. Dale and his staff are absolutely great, Overlooks a lovely lake, while only a short tuk tuk away from the main beach area. This is a must visit, also welcomes guests for lunch or Dinner. you wont be disappointed!

We went to Asian Jewel last March and returned again today. Nothing has changed still the best in Hikkaduwa. We had a fab sunday lunch and spent the day in and around the pool. The food was top notch. The staff were great. Ended up staying until late evening. Definitely a recommendation too all. Dale and the team just make it work.

We ate at the restaurant on the last day of our 2 week trip. It wasn’t busy as it was the off season. However, they were really accommodating and stayed open to serve dinner later than they would usually have done. The food was fantastic - It was undoubtedly the best curry we had in our whole trip. Definitely recommend!

I can’t speak highly enough of my stay at this hotel… perfection from start to finish. The staff are truly amazing, they cannot do enough for you. I felt like a VIP! The rooms are lovely and cleaned daily, with various towel art waiting for me each day. I couldn’t wait to go check out my room each day and see which towel animals were waiting for me. The pool and the grounds are just beautiful, I loved the bell next to my sun bed for when I needed service… such a lovely touch. The food was also amazing here. It was so good that I hardly ate anywhere else on this latest trip to Sri Lanka! Not only do they serve some beautiful and tasty Sri Lankan dishes but if you fancy a Shepherds Pie, a Sunday roast or other British home comforts whilst there you’re in the right place. The hotel is owned by Dale, a lovely English guy that knows all you need to know about trips, transport and just general advice on the area… He checked in on me everyday to make sure I was ok. I’ve never felt so looked after and I will definitely be returning. I would highly recommend Asian Jewel Hotel. The attention to detail, the attentive staff, the stunning food and beautiful grounds/views were faultless. Thank you Dale, you and your amazing staff made my latest trip so special! I’m hooked and I’ll see you in a few months!
