The private beach
There is a private beach right below Niraamaya Surya Samudra, which many guests enjoyed. Although the private beach isn't large, it provides a great place to relax for an afternoon while staying at this property. There is also a public beach nearby that is much larger.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Too many stairs
There have been some complaints about the number of stairs at this property. You will have to walk up and down some stairs when accessing the beach, as the hotel is located on a cliff top. There is also quite a few stairs inside the resort because of where the buildings are located.
negative:
Not all rooms are the same
Some guests have mentioned that although the rooms all cost about the same, they are not equal. While most rooms enjoy sea views, others do not. Past guests have complained that a few of the rooms do not have glass windows, which makes them less desirable.
negative:
Lots of mosquitoes
There are plenty of mosquitoes in this area, so make sure that you have some spray with you before arriving at Niraamaya Surya Samudra. A few guests found the mosquitoes at this property to be quite annoying.
