"We booked 3 river suites here for our family. It was one of the best resorts we experienced. From the booking over the phone until the check out it’s was perfect with great hospitality. Piyumika( front office) was very responsive over the phone and during our check in and check out. Rooms were so spacious with all modern amenities and spotless clean. Separate balconies/ verandas and your own garden space to relax. The complimentary snacks were so yummy. Food served at the restaurant was delicious. Variety of options are available to select as its set menu. Tharaka who served us was very helpful and patient with all are requests. Garden and the pool was well maintained and provides you with space to relax. Best experience for kids was the amazing water park and the game station. It’s fully functional and very clean. Best experience in a hotel with this type of facilities for kids. Staff were very friendly and ready to help. Kids were so surprised with the soft toy offered at the check out .Well maintained property we will definitely visit again and recommend everyone with families to enjoy the resort."

★★★★ 9.6 (18 reviews)

"We had two wonderful nights at Bar Reef Resort. The beach cabanas were truly amazing, and the salt water infinity pool was lovely for a morning swim. Plus, it was long enough for some swimming exercises. The authentic Sri Lankan rice and curry was amazing. The whole team was incredibly kind and attentive. Sampath, in particular, made the experience truly splendid. He was funny, keen to approve his German, and we practiced a little :) He was also very friendly, kind and attentive. We are definitely planning to return for our next holiday in Sri Lanka."

Dinuda Lagoon Hotel Hotels in Puttalam

Dinuda Lagoon Hotel

"Dinuda Villa in Kalpitiya is a perfect getaway with a breathtaking location. The sunset over the lagoon is absolutely stunning, creating a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere. We had an amazing time with different activities, including a boat ride, pool fun, and a small boat ride that was really enjoyable. Watching the kite surfers in action was exciting too. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our stay even more special. The food was another highlight—every meal was delicious and well-prepared. From fresh seafood to flavorful local dishes, everything was cooked to perfection. We truly enjoyed every bite! At night, we sang together and admired the clear sky full of stars, which made the experience even more magical. If you’re looking for a relaxing yet adventurous stay in Kalpitiya with great food and hospitality, Dinuda Villa is definitely worth visiting!"

De Silva Wind Resort Kalpitiya - Kitesurfing School Sri Lanka Hotels in Puttalam

De Silva Wind Resort Kalpitiya - Kitesurfing School Sri Lanka

"I wanted to write to you following our recent two week stay at De Silva Wind Resort Kalpitiya. We arrived very early in the morning and received a warm welcome from your staff. They had put out a lovely breakfast for us and we immediately felt at home. We settled in to one of the lovely bungalows and were very quickly known by name by your team. Nothing was too much trouble. The “beach” team spent time with us making sure we had the correct Wingfoil and Kite surf equipment, and even though I was just renting the equipment they could not have helped me more. Halfway through our stay, my wife suffered a nasty accident causing severe bruising to her face and left side of her body. This required a doctors visit and a subsequent Xray at the hospital. This is one of the worries for many people travelling to other countries, especially when they stay away from cities. Well they need not worry if they are staying with you! The entire team at De Silva looked after us so well. We did not feel isolated at all. We were driven to the doctors, medication was ordered and collected, ice packs were constantly provided and care and compassion was abundant. When it was clear that there was no lasting damage to my wife, she insisted that I continued with my sport. On my return from the beach I found that your staff had regularly checked on her, sitting and talking with her for long periods of time. She felt not only looked after but had a lovely time. Based on our first week, I would have put very positive reviews online praising your resort and staff. Due to the accident I felt it needed more as the care was excellent. I cannot thank you and your team enough, if it wasn’t for you, the trauma would have been too much and our holiday would have been spoiled. My wife is now recovering well and we are looking forward to our next trip to Sri Lanka. I wish you and all of your team well and thank you, thank you, thank you. Iain"

Dolphin Beach Resort - Kalpitiya

"Spent a fabulous and memorable 2 nights. Everything about this resort is top notch…….. Super clean, friendly and obliging staff and really yummy food presented so beautifully. A lot of attention has been paid to aesthetic detail and comfort. I found myself go “wow” at each new discovery. Needless to say the dolphins were the icing on the cake. "

Kitelantis Hotel and Resort Hotels in Puttalam

Kitelantis Hotel and Resort

"We stayed three nights at this resort, ideally located along the lagoon (the beach where you can swim is accessible by boat). We really appreciated the kindness and attention of the entire team, the sea-facing villa with its large bedrooms and outdoor bathroom, the generous and delicious breakfast, the swimming pool by the lagoon and the beautiful and large well-maintained garden. We used the resort's canoes (equipment not perfect) to ride on the lagoon and rented bicycles. Everyone is very attentive to ensure that everything goes as well as possible for you."

Suriya Resort ★★★★★
"The Shi-En Ikebana and Floral Society of Sri Lanka organized its annual day trip to Suriya Resort on the 24th of January 2026. The outing was a memorable and well organized event, enjoyed thoroughly by all members. The serene ambiance of the hotel, complemented by breathtaking views of the mangroves, lagoon, and the sea, added to the charm of the experience. A scrumptious lunch and afternoon tea was served, further enhancing the enjoyment of the day. Overall, it was a delightful visit, and the Society looks forward to visiting the resort again in the future."

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."

Calypso Sunset Beach Hotel ★★★
"I really enjoyed this cozy, relaxing hotel. It's a wonderful place to unwind with nature, with a picturesque sea view from the room. The hotel is perfect for those seeking peace and quiet, breathing in the salty sea air, listening to birdsong, and watching spectacular sunsets over the coast. The room is luxurious, with everything you need. It features a double bed with a comfortable firm mattress, air conditioning, a spacious closet, a TV, a shower, and several types of towels. Each room features paintings by a local artist. A bathroom is available. The room is cleaned. The food is beyond praise. The chef prepared a variety of exquisite dishes: chicken, tuna, shrimp, tender rice, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. The director, manager, and service staff are friendly. Honeymoon suites are available."
