Club Palm Bay
9.2 (58 reviews)

Club Palm Bay ★★★★★

📍 CRM6+CR4, Thalwila Wella, Thoduwawa, Beach Rd, Marawila

"The resort is located in a peaceful and quiet area. We stayed here in August, which is a very quiet time of year. If you are looking for peace and relaxation, this is a wonderful place to stay. The staff is absolutely phenomenal. They quickly understand who you are and what your wishes and needs are. They truly love children, and our 10-year-old son had an amazing time. Everyone is always willing to help wherever they can. The restaurant deserves a special thank you for the delicious food and excellent service. The service was very personal, and we always felt genuinely welcomed and looked after. A big thank you to the housekeeping team as well. Our room was cleaned perfectly every day, and we loved coming back to see the creative towel animals, beautifully decorated with flowers on our bed. It was such a lovely and thoughtful touch! Thank you to the reception team and the doorman for your kindness and warm welcome. You made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. And a special thank you to the gardeners, who work hard every day to keep everything so beautiful. The gardens and grounds are very well maintained and look absolutely lovely. Most excursions are between one and three hours away by car, but honestly, that is more than worth it. After a day of sightseeing, it feels wonderful to return to the peace and tranquillity of the resort. This was our first time in Sri Lanka, and we had a truly wonderful holiday. We would like to thank everyone at the resort for making our stay so special! One small tip: next to the hotel there is a little shop called S&S. It is a convenient shop, but keep an eye on the total when paying, as we noticed that the lady sometimes adds a few extra rupees to the bill. The shop on the other side of the hotel, just past the bend, is a little cheaper."

"We had a wonderful stay at Dinuda Lagoon Hotel. The lagoon-side location offers a stunning backdrop for a relaxing family holiday. Our rooms were spotless and very well-maintained, providing a cozy "home away from home" feel. The highlight was definitely the staff; their hospitality is world-class and they made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our December stay. Great value for money and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommended for families looking for quality and tranquility!"

Wind Blend Kite Resort
8.4 (9 reviews)

Wind Blend Kite Resort ★★★

📍 Kappalady, Puttalam

"Just spent an amazing week at Wind Blend! What a brilliant little find and I cannot recommend enough. There is a beautiful little community forming around this resort with the other local businesses like Lagoonies (local cafe/dinner spot with kite surfing rentals and lessons). So welcoming and open to new people! Thank you everyone! The resort it self is across two sites across the road from Each other with two beautiful bungalows on the lagoon/beach side, and then the main area with checkin and Reatutant set in a area full of trees, along with 6 other bungalows- these are all beautifully designed with outdoor showers, and beautiful patio to chill on. These are eco friendly rooms with Fans and cold water only but designed to be passive cooling so I didn’t even need the fan or hot water given the tanks warm up the water in the sun. There is also a yoga shala to do self practice or get a class if they have a teacher- luckily during my time there was- Yamini’s restorative practices were amazing after a day kite surfing- massages available also. Bikes available for rent, lots of hammocks, kids play equipment - everything has been thought of here- one of the best places of stayed in my two months in Sri Lanka! The wifi was also brilliant so if you’re a digital nomad or need to take a few work calls this place was reliable with fibre connection- a rare find in Sri Lanka let alone the northwest area. Thanks to all the staff who had this week amazing- the manager Sudath (who designed and built the whole resort!) can help you book onwards travel and give you locals tips, and thanks to the chef, who prepared beautiful bbqs and outdoor dinners under the stars. The whole team was attentive and willing to help. Honestly I can not recommend enough and thank you to the team! Kite surfer or not this place is great to just chill away from the world and enjoy nature! "

"Actually we had nice and remarkable experience at here... This is well established spacious hotel which is located at infront of Kalpitiya lagoon and very calm natural environment. There are friendly and kind staff working and treating us warmly. They arranged amazing Dolphin watching and served delicious food with all necessary amenities as well. And There rooms are spacious and maintain cleanliness too. Honestly they are providing great service and that is worth to the price. Thank you Dinuda Lagoon...You did best!"

Wellé Wadiya Beach Villa ★★★
"We stayed here for 4 fabulous nights in February, deciding to go straight to Kalpataya from the airport. It was a good 3 and a half hours and certainly not boring. The hotel is right beside the ocean and you can listen to the waves from your room and spacious covered balcony; we found it very relaxing. You can also see the ocean from your balcony during the day. The staff team here are fabulously, nothing is a trouble. Pradeep, the manager will do his very best to arrange excursions or transfers for you, we went to Willpatu National Park and on the Dolphin boat trip, both arranged by Pradeep and both excellent. The food at the hotel is exceptional, try the Sri Lankan breakfast, it is a fantastic experience. The area is quiet and very friendly, you can walk out of the hotel without any harassment but you may encounter friendly cows donkeys and dogs on your travels (all of which know the Highway Code). There were one or two minor inaccuracies in the description, there was no TV or safety deposit box in our room but we did not need or miss either. Doors were very secure and Brownie, the resident dog, let you know when any non guest entered the grounds ( she seemed to understand who were guests and who weren’t) All in all a fantastic experience and if I came back to Kalpitaya I would stay here without a second thought."

"We stayed at the hotel for two weeks and it was SO nice. The room was very clean and has a cosy atmosphere to it. The restaurant and bar at pool was so nice and the service was fantastic. We were often served by a waiter named Dileepa. He was so service minded and was a very warm person :-) The surroundings of the place was so beautiful. We do not really have anything bad to say about this place. Would defiantly recommend it :-)"

Wind Blend Kite Resort ★★★
"The area this resort is in slum area. Here there is nothing. The beach is walking 30 - 40 minutes if you are fast walking or slow. If the way is the lagoon there is not nice smell and algie to the waist then the land is broken and 15 minutes. The coconut man is real nice and clean his beach, the next parts both ways has many plastic parts and fish parts with smell. The boss is not nice with staff persons but they are nice and hard worker. We are not go again to here it is not a good place for holiday. Herr Schäfer"
