"We had a lovely stay at Suriya Resort on 13th and 14th April. This was actually my first visit to the property, as I usually stay at Club Hotel Dolphin when travelling to Waikkala, so it was a nice change for me. I must say the overall experience was excellent. The resort has a very pleasant atmosphere, the staff were warm, attentive and welcoming throughout the stay, and the food was genuinely very good. We tried both the buffet and the in-room dining, and both were very enjoyable. The food was tasty, well prepared and the quality was consistently good. It was a short stay, but a very pleasant one, and honestly one night was not enough. I would be very happy to return again. Thank you to the team at Suriya Resort for making the stay such an enjoyable one."

Wattura Resort & Spa

Wattura Resort & Spa

📍 1271 Kammala South Road, Waikkal, Puttalam
★★★★★ 9.1 (45 reviews)

"This hotel is located in a prime spot between a beach and a river, making it an ideal destination for families. The atmosphere is incredibly kid-friendly, which was a huge plus for my family. The rooms are spacious and have ample room for kids to play and explore within the rooms themselves. While the value may be slightly higher compared to other hotels, we were able to get a discounted rate, which made it worth it. The hotel boasts a water park, which is the highlight for the kids, and they absolutely loved it. Even adults can enjoy the water park, making it a great place for all ages. There’s also a gaming area that’s still under construction, but there are some games that are already available. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, and they go above and beyond to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay. One thing that I should mention is that most hotels offer bulk food platters, but this hotel has a variety of platters that are not only delicious but also have enough food to satisfy everyone. I especially want to thank the chef for creating such delicious food. The overall staff is friendly and helpful, and I particularly enjoyed the service of Ms. Chathurika. There was also a flute player who played calming music during our meals, adding to the overall ambiance of the hotel. In conclusion, this hotel is a fantastic place to stay for families. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing vacation."

"Breakfast is a delicious buffet selection of both sweet and savoury items plus omelettes on request. There is a nice swimming pool here, plus table tennis and a snooker table. De Silva kite surfing school is on site, by the beach area. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well maintained. The restaurant for dinner is just by the beach, which is where my boyfriend proposed to me. The staff were friendly and very helpful in making the proposal special.

Suriya Resort ★★★★★
"The Suriya is a beautiful hotel, with friendly and attentive staff. The pool and grounds are beautiful, with direct view of the sea. On this occasion I made use of the spa facilities, Le Lily Spa where I was welcomed by Niranjan. Who gave me a relaxing Balinese massage. The professionalism and relaxation experienced had me returning for a second massage. The room is comfortable and the oils used help to create an ambience. Niranjan worked very hard to ensure I felt completely relaxed and that I was comfortable. Following the massage, I was invited to relax for a few more moments before being greeted with a cup of cinnamon and lime tea. The Suriya is a beautiful hotel, and the spa facilities and staff within it add to the luxury."

Melheim Beach Kalpitiya ★★★★
"The location is good, right next to the beach, very quiet, but a few kilometers from the town, requiring a taxi ride (around 20 yuan round trip). The hotel pool had small insects, and the restaurant food was just average. Hot water wasn't checked upon check-in, and there was no hot water when I showered in the middle of the night. I couldn't find any hotel staff anywhere... I only saw them the next morning! However, the staff were quite friendly, the hotel was relatively clean, and the owner seemed nice."

Wattura Resort & Spa ★★★★★
"My husband and I visited Wattura Resort & Spa last weekend, and I would like to say that it was a truly unique and wonderful experience. The ambiance and the way nature is seamlessly connected to every element of the hotel are exceptional. The luxurious rooms are beautifully designed, and the mattress was one of the most comfortable we have ever experienced. The overall vibe of the hotel is peaceful, relaxing, and deeply connected to nature. We especially enjoyed the breathtaking views, including the beautiful ocean and the Gin River. The natural surroundings created a perfect atmosphere for a relaxing getaway. The food was also outstanding. We had our meals at Pappli Restaurant, and every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The dining experience certainly added to our memorable stay. What impressed us most was the hospitality of the staff. From the General Manager to every team member, everyone greeted guests with genuine warmth and a welcoming smile. Their professionalism and kindness made us feel truly valued throughout our stay. Water is clearly the main concept of the resort, and the soothing sound of flowing water can be heard in many areas of the property, creating a calm and tranquil environment. The resort also features a large swimming pool, a wonderful spa, and a well-equipped gym, ensuring that guests have everything they need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Finally, I would like to thank the entire team for their incredible hospitality. We highly recommend this resort to any traveler who loves being surrounded by nature with luxury & comfort."

Bar Reef Resort ★★★★
"Beautiful and newly renovated resort! The beach is absolutely amazing! Rooms are updated. You will feel like you are in heaven! We stayed down the beach at their sister property - Dolphin Beach Resort, which was a wonderful "glamping" experience, and spent an afternoon at the Bar Reef. Both of the resorts are run by the same kind and professional management team."

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"
