Suriya Resort ★★★★★
"We stayed in a suite at the hotel for 10 days and couldn’t have asked for more from the holiday. The suites are large. Clean and well maintained, and we had an amazing view of the sea and sunset from the balcony. The staff were friendly, chatty and very accommodating. They did everything they could to make our stay memorable. The food was fantastic. The pool is clean, yes there are crows, dogs and a cat, but the pool and surrounding areas are kept very clean, they didn’t bother us at all. There is lovely birdsong throughout the day and the three dogs weren’t interested in people, they just sat in the shade and roamed around a bit, in fact they were quite sweet. The general manger was readily available and the spa was luxurious (Balinese massage…amazing!) too. Sri Lanka is beautiful and the people are exceptional. ❤️"
Dinuda Lagoon Hotel ★★★
"We had a very enjoyable stay at Dinuda Lagoon Hotel. The natural surroundings, quiet location, and warm hospitality made our visit special. The team took good care of us and helped us feel comfortable. We appreciated the authentic Sri Lankan experience and the relaxing moments near the lagoon."
Club Palm Bay ★★★★★
"I spent 4 nights for this trip and enjoyed our stay. The rooms are well maintained. Nothing to complain."
Dolphin Beach Resort - Dolphins, Kitesurfing & Wildlife ★★★★
"I visited Dolphin Beach Resort with my family. We had four very relaxing days in the most amazing surroundings. We ate all our meals at the resort’s restaurant, and the food itself is a great experience, offering both classic dishes and local Sri Lankan cuisine. Not least, our two waiters, Isuru and Rihas, were truly wonderful and very attentive. Overall, the service at the resort is excellent, and the staff are always available and helpful. A very calm and relaxing place right by the water’s edge."
Club Hotel Dolphin ★★★★★
"As a group guide, I had a wonderful experience at Club Hotel Dolphin with my group. The hotel offered excellent hospitality, friendly and professional staff, delicious food, and a pleasant atmosphere. The facilities were well maintained, and the team was supportive and attentive to our group's needs throughout our stay even it is short. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the hotel management and staff for their warm welcome, cooperation, and excellent service. Their dedication and teamwork helped make our group's stay comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. Thank you, Club Hotel Dolphin, for the great hospitality. I would highly recommend this hotel for group stays and look forward to visiting again!"
Wattura Resort & Spa ★★★★★
"All great!! Especially the massage conducted by Rohitha, very relaxing and professional."
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."
Taru Villas Villu - Wilpattu ★★★★★
"We celebrated my partner’s 30th birthday here, and it honestly felt magical from the moment we arrived. The whole team made us feel so cared for, both Gayathri and Praneed, our naturalists / hosts, were just incredible. During our safari, Gayathri helped us spot not one, but four leopards at Wilpattu National Park (two walked right towards us!), even though it was monsoon season. The food was amazing throughout our stay. From fresh seafood BBQ one night, a lovely picnic by the mangroves, and the bartender mixed some of the best cocktails we had in Sri Lanka. Everything felt relaxed but thoughtful, like they really wanted us to enjoy ourselves. What stood out most was how the team’s hospitality extended to the surroundings, including the natural elements and wildlife. Elephants sometimes visit the property, and everyone treats them gently. Even the local community dogs are cared for, which says a lot about the heart and soul behind this place. Our villa was stunning, everything we could ask for and more! Included as bedside reading was Bawa literature on the local architect and pioneer, amidst a private, peaceful, and lush surrounding. The plunge pool at the villa was a dream after long days of exploring. Because the property only has 7 villas, it never felt crowded or commercial. From a sunset picnic in the mangroves to the warm smiles of all members of the team — including our captain of our voyage who was a fisherman from the neighboring village — it all felt so personal. Taru Villas Wilpattu truly made this trip one we’ll never forget! P.S. thank you to Gayathri for the incredible photographs and spotting, we will treasure the memories you helped create and capture forever!"
Melheim Beach Kalpitiya ★★★★
"Small hotel set on its own private beach area. Rooms are all sea facing in beach villa style . Very quiet area only 8 villas at present. Pool small. Staff all very pleasant and helpful.

Calypso Sunset Beach Hotel
"The place was nice and homely…very good service by the staff! And the beach is very close by too…their food is good too and I would especially recommend their batter-fried cuttlefish/seafood dishes. One let down was that the wifi did not work and TV works with wifi so we had a terrible time with the connection"
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"
Amagi Beach – Secluded Slice of Paradise
"Overall, I liked the hotel, located 10 steps from the ocean, beautiful nature, silence, polite staff. The downside of the hotel is that the cleaning of the rooms is poor, we cleaned ourselves, the breakfasts are monotonous (omelet, sometimes pancakes, sausages, toast, butter, juice, tea, coffee, fruits - watermelon (tasteless) and papaya), always shouting during breakfast cats, brave crows. When the hotel is full, breakfast is served as a buffet. When entering the ocean, it is 5-7 meters deep, it is impossible to swim in the shallows; the wave turns around (you need to swim across the wave), there are beaches to the right and left with a gentler entrance. To the left is a beach with breakwaters, where locals swim, they are very friendly. We met Jamil, a local resident who speaks Russian, organizes excursions, helps with all issues (skin burnt, the child’s temperature has risen), very friendly, patient, and treats us to fruits. We ate mostly at the Jamila cafe, to the left of the hotel exit, it was delicious, the prices were no higher than in other cafes. We recommend Jamil, we went on a 2-day excursion with him, we really liked it!"
Palagama Beach
"We were lucky enough to stay at this seaside hotel all to ourselves, which made the experience even more magical. The pool is superb, the setting enchanting, and the staff incredibly attentive. A true paradise where you can recharge in complete tranquility. I will definitely return."
Villa Santé Kalpitiya & Kite Surfing by TSC
"We had a memorable, heartwarming and adventurous time at this charming villa, on our recent trip to Sri Lanka. The bedrooms were spacious, clean, air-conditioned, comfortable and cozy. The six staff members who attended to our needs from pool-side to dining hall, were warm, humble, respectful and went beyond the call of duty. The meals were Sri Lankan delights on our request (and teenagers ate in between meals also), including lagoon-side seafood specialties. Cooked with fresh ingredients, the meals were scrumptious. In this lovely remote villa, set in a coconut grove with Sri Lankan type hospitality, we made lasting memories playing many board games way into the night, engaging in pool volleyball competitions and indulging in long family type meals. The villa is right beside a kite surfing school, where my teenage kids and their cousins learned this fun sport, in a safe environment. Our trip was topped by an early morning safari to Wilpattu (Sri-lanka’s largest forest reserve), which was an hour’s drive from the villa. Highly recommended for large families with kids."
Adiques's Resorts
"We spent our first 2 nights in Sri Lanka at Adique’s resort and loved it! Everything was as good as the photos show. The sea was wonderful for swimming and there were always enough sun beds even though some people insisted on puttIn their towels on them and leaving them there all day. Our only slight disappointment was the quality of the lunch we had, but the breakfast was very good."
Cloud Nine Lanka Resort Wilpattu
"What a lovely place! The location is fantastic for getting to Wilpattu; there are two entrances into the park and the south entrance is a bit easier to get in. The hotel itself was lovely (lovely pool, the crow's nest is fun, food was great) and management stood out as responsive. Would absolutely stay again."
Kite Paradise Resort-Kalpitiya
"I liked very much! Exellent traditional food! Exellent massages! The owner is very nice, helpful and honest man. I felt care of him and his staff every time,everyone is very polite there. The owner arrainges different nice tours by boat, by Tuk Tuk, also Mangrove tour and Wilpattu National park safari, dolphine watch and sunset safari is available. I suggest! Also important, i noticed - the high standarts of clenness are in Kite Paradise Resort."
Villa Sethawadi Hotel & Kitesurf Centre
"This place is a little paradise. The remote location, in between salt mines and the lagoon, surrounded by hundreds of palm trees is absolutely amazing. The chalet rooms and their outdoor bathrooms are gorgeous and very clean. As we were visiting in the off-season, the hotel was far from full. But this turned out to be the best thing ever: we had the azure pool for ourselves and the highly attentive, professional and polite staff fulfilled all our wishes and even more than that. All food leaving the chef’s kitchen is of a very high quality and simply delicious - try the curry crusted seabass. Last but not least, they have a stunning little rooftop bar at their kitesurfing center with views on the salt mines, the lagoon and the sea at the same time where they serve good cocktails. I recommend this amazing place more than every other hotel we visited on our 3-week tour. Simply amazing."
Carolina Beach Resort & Spa
"Really nice place to spend with family. Very beautiful place with beach, swimming pool,spa & others, foods also really tasty,will come back again with the family , memorable place in life.. I hope you will continue this excellent service in future "
Guesthouse Panorama
"We stayed in the large rooftop-room with nice beach view. The room is super spacious and comes with a large and clean bathroom. The owner family gave us a warm welcome and cooked us a super fresh and delicious dinner. They offer both sri lanka and european breakfast. You can sit on the terrasse next to the room and overlook the sea. I fully recommend staying at this hotel! "
