Wellé Wadiya Beach Villa
8.7 (9 reviews)

Wellé Wadiya Beach Villa ★★★

📍 Kandakuliya, Kudawa

"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."

Sanmali Beach Hotel Hotels in Puttalam

Sanmali Beach Hotel

"We recently had a unit excursion from Teaching Hospital Kurunegala to Sanmali beach hotel, and it was fantastic. The location right by the shore made for a relaxing atmosphere, and the staff were attentive and friendly. However, what stood out the most was the food! A wonderful spread with a variety of fresh, flavorful dishes. Overall, a satisfying stay, perfect for both work and leisure."

Villa Sethawadi Hotel and Kitesurf Centre Hotels in Puttalam

Villa Sethawadi Hotel and Kitesurf Centre

"Very pretty little resort nestled on the edge of a lagoon. The decoration of the rooms is very neat, simple and tasteful. The bathroom is semi-open and equally beautifully decorated. Pleasant terrace with a view of the lagoon where the sunsets are magnificent. The hotel provides canoes to cross the lagoon and reach a magnificent beach where there was literally no one. Popular place for kitesurfers. The swimming pool is also very beautiful and pleasant as well as the lounge. Good meals served in the restaurant or on the terrace. A feeling of the end of the world! Calm and serenity. Great Ayurvedic massage. A place where you want to come back."

Wind Blend Kite Resort Hotels in Puttalam

Wind Blend Kite Resort

"We spent 2 nights with our 3 children in the family bungalow. The full resort, as well as our rooms in particular, are very well integrated into the trees, we really felt part of the nature. For breakfasts and dinners we had a very good introduction to the sri lankan cuisine. Not being kitesurfers, we enjoyed visiting the village and the beach, we could have stayed much longer. Well done to Sudath and his team for making this place so welcoming !"

Club Palm Bay ★★★★★
"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."

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."

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."

Wellé Wadiya Beach Villa ★★★
"We decided to go here because they seemed to have a lot of positive reviews. But unfortunately in our opinion, the hotel failed to meet even the most basic of expectations. The food was terrible and extremely overpriced. There were no sunbeds or even chairs at the beach to sit at. Even the cut fruits we requested after lunch were unripe. Rooms were alright, although the bed sheet and the pillowcases had stains on them. The only place to hang out wet clothes or towels was a rusty wall mount rack in the toilet that ended up staining our clothes. We could've managed with the quality of service, cleanliness and facilities had there been decent food. Extremely disappointed at the quality and the exorbitant price for the food. Wouldn't really recommend this place to anyone."
