Club Hotel Dolphin ★★★★★
"Had a wonderful stay at Club Hotel Dolphin! Beautiful location, clean and comfortable rooms, great food, and very friendly staff. Excellent hospitality and a relaxing experience. Definitely recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
Taru Villas Villu - Wilpattu ★★★★★
"Fantastic hotel, the staff couldn’t have been more attentive and the attention to detail was amazing. As a new hotel, the service was smooth, rooms big and food delicious."
Club Palm Bay ★★★★★
"We'd like to share our impressions of our stay at this hotel. We spent 8 nights here with friends. The hotel is truly spacious, with well-maintained green grounds and a convenient location (across the road from the beach, surrounded by a river). We liked the all-inclusive meal plan: there was always a good selection of both Sri Lankan and European cuisine. The rooms are spacious, with a balcony and a bathroom. In our opinion, they could use some cosmetic updating. Unfortunately, two issues seriously marred our stay. 1. The situation with animals on the premises. There are cats and dogs on the hotel grounds. We were very sad to see that, in our opinion, some staff members' treatment of them is not humane. We personally witnessed them being chased away, and in some cases, doused with hot water and physically assaulted. This was very upsetting. 2. Insect control. During our stay, during the day, when many guests (including families with children) were around the pool and dining area, hotel staff began chemically treating the area. A thick, pungent odor spread, covering the pool, lounge, and dining areas. The fact that this treatment was carried out without warning and in the presence of people (especially children in the pool) was extremely surprising and concerning. My husband has asthma, and he had to urgently use his inhaler. As someone with an agricultural background, I understand the necessity of such treatments, but we believe that conducting them during peak guest activity hours is unsafe. We contacted the management to request information about the medication used for our doctor, but we were never provided with this information. Overall, the hotel infrastructure leaves a pleasant impression, but the reported incidents regarding animal welfare and guest safety significantly impacted our overall experience."
Suriya Resort ★★★★★
"We recently had our corporate team outing at Suriya Resort, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everything was well-organized, making it easy for our team to relax and enjoy the day. A special thanks to Shanuka for coordinating everything so smoothly, his effort really made a difference and ensured we had a hassle-free experience. The resort offered a great balance of fun and relaxation. The team games were engaging and brought everyone together, the food was delicious with a good variety, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The peaceful environment added to the overall experience, making it perfect for unwinding. We would highly recommend Suriya Resort for corporate outings or team-building getaways. Looking forward to visiting again!"
Wattura Resort & Spa ★★★★★
"Everything about our stay has been absolutely amazing. Stayed on full board basis, served by Yasas among others. Every meal was something to look forward to. The food was not just delicious, but well presented. It is a great place to go with kids for the water park, kids corner, etc. 10/10 had a great stay!"
Dinuda Lagoon Hotel ★★★
"Dinuda Lagoon Hotel is a lovely place for travellers who want peace and nature. We enjoyed the beautiful views, fresh atmosphere, and friendly service. The staff made our stay comfortable and memorable. Our time in Kalpitiya was made even better by the welcoming environment of this hotel."
Bar Reef Resort ★★★★
"We had a lovely 5-night stay here. The place is in a dreamy setting right on the beach, and the cabanas are comfortable with a gorgeous outdoor bathroom/shower. We felt particularly looked after during meal times by the team led by lovely Sathees. The food was delicious and fresh. They also were great in helping us organise a tuk tuk to the kite spot at Kappaladi lagoon."
Melheim Beach Kalpitiya ★★★★
"The rooms and the hotel were nice and clean. The staff were very helpful. We had a wonderful stay and hope to be back again 😊"
Anantaya Resort & Spa Chilaw ★★★★★
"I want to write this review as fairly as possible, because although my overall experience at the hotel was very disappointing, one person truly deserves to be acknowledged: Viraj. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the hotel in its current condition. The property has a beautiful setting and great potential, but the level of maintenance was far below what I expected from a hotel advertised as a 5-star property. My room showed significant signs of wear and poor maintenance: stained and damaged furniture, worn flooring, and a bathroom and shower area that clearly needed much more attention. I have included photos with this review so that travellers can see the condition for themselves. I was offered another room after raising my concerns, but after viewing it, I found its general condition quite similar. In my opinion, this is therefore not simply an issue with one particular room. The property needs substantial renovation and better maintenance before I could personally recommend it as a 5-star hotel. However, I want to make a very clear distinction between the condition of the hotel and the people working there. The staff I met were kind and did their best with what they had. I would particularly like to thank Viraj, who was incredibly helpful during my stay. As the hotel was extremely quiet and there were very few activities available, he genuinely tried to make my stay more enjoyable. He helped me organise outings, gave me advice and made a real effort to ensure that I could discover Sri Lanka rather than remain alone at the hotel. His kindness, availability and willingness to help made a real difference to my stay. Thank you, Viraj. Your hospitality was one of the positive memories I will keep from my time there. I would also like to give a special mention to Ayu from the spa, who was absolutely lovely. During a stay that had been quite disappointing for me, her kindness, warm words and positive energy genuinely lifted my spirits. Sometimes a few thoughtful words can make a real difference, and Ayu certainly did. Thank you for your kindness and for making me smile. My criticism is therefore directed at the condition and maintenance of the property, not at the people working there. I sincerely hope the hotel undergoes the renovation it needs, because the location and the people deserve much better. Until significant renovation and maintenance work is carried out, however, I personally would not recommend this hotel."

Ocean View Beach Resort - Kalpitiya
"Super nice stay at the hotel. Manager and staff are super kind and helpful. Excellent cabanas almost in the beach."
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"

De Silva Palm Resort
Kitelantis Hotel and Kite Resort
"We were very disappointed at our recent stay at this hotel and do not recommend this to anyone. Years back this was one of our favorite places of visit. Hotel situated at an lovely location and built in to a lovely concept however now the place is totally mismanaged. Staff is rude and unprofessional. No hygiene in rooms and restaurant. Service is horrible. Food is not value for money. We actually had to check out prior to scheduled date due to these. Roshini and Chamath"
Kite Paradise Resort-Kalpitiya
"Let's start with the fact that the male owner Malik is a very intrusive man. He will text you the whole day, not 1 text but many. Not letting you enjoy your time in the peninsula at all. Not arranging stuff like a scooter and giving us names who don't pick up and don't respond texts. The room (s) (2) we stayed in 2 because the one used as their profile (wooden outside) photo is actually a shed, the toilet/bathroom hasn't been cleaned in years with bugs and spiders hanging from the wall and ceiling. The walls look extremely dirty. The beds are too short even for my wife which is 1.65mtr. bugs every where and the wooden boards are gapping through. Pillows smelled dirty. The hotshower installation didn't work. No toilet paper and no bedsheets to cover your self and no curtains. At night without any form of communication they lock the gate around 9 / 10 o'clock . Because he (malik) is going to bed. Arranging a safari seemed like a good idea. But demanding us to pay upfront in the night for everything felt not right. The way he communicated was unpleasant. The safari he organised, started way too late. Later on we heard we should have started 2 hours earlier. Before sunrise. The tuktuk to the harbour wasn't incl which he told.... but overlooked in the storm of texts he send. Not overcommunicating but wanting to control everything. The next room was sleeping wise a bit better, but the bathroom , the toilet leaked feces as the pipe wasn't connected. The shower drain was pumping out, which ment more feces coming up in the showerfloor, disgusting. No toiletpaper no curtains walls dirty and bugs everywhere. He stormflood texted us during a day we left the fan on.... probably listening at our room or .... let's say you leave it on. Tell or confront your guest when they come back. But also why complain about this with multiple texts and leave every light on on the whole premises at every cabin when no-one is there. No guests. But complaining about this. He will respond to this review ofcourse as controlling as he is. We've been travelling for a long time. Always budget never expecting luxury or 3 stars or more. But all in all the 2 showers where the most disgusting we came across. His behaviour made everything worse. But rest assured there are many places to stay, skip this one. Also one day saying he doesn't put money on quotes from other later on he tells us he does. Which proves he is dishonest. And by the way providing a service should be charged. No problem with that but don't say one thing and after another thing. Also : no wifi didn't work It's strange to say the least that a week ago he had a similar review. Also pretty aggressive respons from him. But that is what he is. An unpleasant man. Also: check TripAdvisor very bad reviews which we saw later, accusing him from stealing, ripping of and that he is known as an dishonest person. The mother can really cook by the way And the boys and workers work hard."
Adiques's Resorts
"Modern styled hotel direct at the seaside. Lovely beach. Good for swimming, hard place for running 😂 Very talented cook with excellent Seafood and SriLankan food. Big rooms with balcony and seaview. 1:15 tuctuc drive to the airport. Extremely friendly staff. Very helpful. They gave us much support. Thank you."
Carolina Beach Resort & Spa
"The scenery is pretty cool around the hotel. They have a private beach area where you can enjoy the sea waves and even play. What I really enyoed is their food which includes various local and non - local dedelicacies as well as their excellent customer service."
Guesthouse Panorama
"We were travelling in 5 and booked 2 double and one single room. When we arrived, there was a discussion about breakfast. It seemed that a basic one should be included, but the owner said that he sent a message that we had to pay for it. As he became immediately aggressive, we decided to have lunch in another place and reflect a little bit. Walking around we saw a place that is not attractive. We returned to the guesthouse, the smell of smoke was still 3 hours later in the room. The owner was unfriendly so we decided to leave. The guesthouse asked one of us 7$ to the next 10$ for breakfast. Close to the place you get a complete breakfast in a beautiful location for 5$."
