Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon

I must admit that before booking Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon, I had some concerns after reading a few negative reviews about it being an old hotel in need of renovation. However, I chose to stay here because my daughter was on a school trip, and this was the hotel selected by her school. I had another option in Hikkaduwa and was unsure if I was making the right choice, but now, after my stay, I can confidently say that Hikka Tranz exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very moment I arrived, the warm welcome and exceptional hospitality of the staff made all the difference. Every team member went above and beyond to ensure a memorable and comfortable stay, and by the time I left, it truly felt like home. The staff’s kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism were outstanding, from the reception to the restaurant, housekeeping, and room service. The hotel was clean, secure, and extremely comfortable, making my stay very pleasant and they respond fast to your requests. The buffet was absolutely delicious, with a great selection of dishes at both breakfast and dinner. As a fan of Sri Lankan cuisine, I enjoyed every single meal over my five-day stay. A special thanks to Ruwan, Sampath, and Sanjeewa in the restaurant, along with all the other staff members who took such great care of us. On top of the wonderful hospitality, I was lucky to participate in releasing baby sea turtles into the ocean, a truly unforgettable experience (thanks to Bandara). I also had the chance to witness a traditional Sri Lankan wedding on my last day, and the bride and groom’s family were incredibly kind, allowing us to watch the ceremony and take some photos, a beautiful memory I will always cherish. P.S. Out of curiosity, I checked out the other hotel I was considering before booking Hikka Tranz, and while it was nice, it felt very ordinary. I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Hikka Tranz, it was the perfect decision, and I feel truly grateful for this experience.

Loved this hotel. Perfect place to spend a couple of days to get over the jetlag before travelling around the rest of Sri Lanka. Big pool that the kids loved. And right on the beach which was great for some sea swimming. The buffet was awesome, both breakfast and dinner.

First of all, the staff was really nice and helpful from the moment we stepped out of the car to the checking to the checkout next day, they were really wonderful and helpful at all. Everyone on the staff were very friendly and had nice smiles too. The location was great. The breakfast and dinner buffet foods were tasty. For the price point, I'd say this is a good getaway place with a nice sea view that someone might wanna have a take a look.

The location is just perfect not far from the surrounding area facilities. Very clean and well kept with plenty of staff around to help as and when needed all with a great willing to please attitude. Rooms were big enough with a very nice balcony overlooking the garden and the sea The choice of food was very good both for breakfast and dinner mainly a buffet style for both

Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon is an excellent choice for a dream getaway by the Indian Ocean. The New Year’s Eve party was exceptionally well-organized, from the stunning decorations and music to the lavish catering, with all praise going to the staff. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the food is excellent, and the beach and pools are clean and well-maintained, with plenty of sun loungers for relaxation. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. Highly recommended for those seeking a complete relaxation!
