Comments from Utopians:"Taru Villas is not really a gay resort! Actually it is a relatively overpriced hotel. Often there are families with children and the management is not very accommodating to guests having local visitors!" -- whitem8, Jan 10, 2006"There is a beautiful new gay friendly hotel in Benota called Taru Villas. It is situated on the beach and is fantastic!! Nine individually designed, supremely comfortable rooms; a beautiful, uncrowded beach; discreet service and exquisite fusion cuisine. Taru Villas, Robolgoda, Benota, Sri Lanka, 379-137, FAX 724-362, email." -- Sahran, April 4, 2003

Comments from Utopians:"The Ammangalla, a 16th Century hotel built by the Dutch, has unbeatable atmosphere and serves wonderful food. The staff are charming -- it is expensive. The Ramparts Hotel, (with dining room on 1/F) overlooking the ocean is just perfect for a cheap meal and a beer, for lunch or dinner. The Lady Hill Hotel ion Upper Dixon Rd has excellent food and accommodation at reasonable prices and a beautiful rooftop bar overlooking the town. There is a swimming pool at the hotel and the staff and management are very friendly and will assist you getting around the area. The town appears to be very gay friendly and you should feel very relaxed here. You'll have no trouble asking for a double room for 2 guys -- however, outsiders are not necessarily welcome to share your room (this is mostly for security reasons -- you don't want to loose your wallet)." -- Mike, Sep 5, 2006Negombo / Migamuwa -- area code (94-31)
"I just came back from my first trip to Sri Lanka. I found the Dickman Resort was not just an ordinary hotel, but a place to relax with a new 'family.' It is a small, but cosy place. Not only the huge pool and the really big rooms where surprising, but also the friendliness of the staff and Dick himself. You will feel safe and welcome when you enter the resort and I am sure you will make new friends like I did." -- Ron46, Jun 11, 2007
"I just spent 10 days at the Dickman Resort. This gay-managed and owned hotel rivals anything else you will find in Asia and certainly is the best in Sri Lanka. The resort is only 100m from fine dining establishments which include Swiss, German, English, Belgium, American and local eateries. The beach is a mere 20m further. Set behind high walls, the Resort is ultra private and has a huge swimming pool, sun deck and shaded areas. Rooms are huge and well appointed, secure with all amenities. I cannot speak highly enough of the care and attention to detail the management provides. And the staff? You think you are pampered at other resorts? The staff at Dickmans are the best. But there is more -- the beautiful countryside, the lovely, friendly people, tours to most parts of the country to take in the history. Make your next destination Dickman Resort and be pleasantly surprised." -- black, Dec 30, 2006
"I have just returned home after 5 days in Negombo at Dickman Resort and I can't wait to get back. I had a fantastic time, with the guys there looking after me endlessly. They organized trips to Colombo, the elephant orphanage and Kandy. I was taken around the town and shown the sights, food and sounds. I had dinner a couple of times at Lords which was great but for a taste of the local curry and rice, Windmill on the corner was excellent. I have fallen in love with Sri Lanka and will be back. I wish all the guys at the Dickman all the best and hope to see them soon, they really are very beautiful and great to be with (I promise to practice my snooker!!!) Dick was away so I did not have a chance to meet him, but he has created a wonderful place." -- byronski, Feb 9, 2006
"I have stayed at the Dickman Resort several times. Not only is it a beautiful setting, but the staff and Dick make the stay truly relaxing and stress free. The rooms are spacious and wonderfully decorated. Each room has air con, a DVD player, comfortable beds, and clean bathrooms. The pool is simply divine! I usually spend the entire day sunbathing, and relaxing. Dick is so helpful and knowledgeable about the local scene. I can't wait to return!" -- whitem8, Jan 10, 2006
"I've just spent five days at the Dickman Resort and can highly recommend it. Dick and the helpful (and very cute) Sri Lankan staff made my stay memorable. They were able to arrange tours, suggest restaurants, and even introduced me to the local life. If you're traveling to Sri Lanka, stay at the Dickman Resort!" -- white_sg, Dec 4, 2006
