"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."

"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."

Kitelantis Hotel and Resort

"Hotel located far from everything, accessed by a bumpy path through the garbage. Catastrophic value for money. Avoid...that's what we did, leaving 5 minutes after our arrival. Which didn't stop them from charging us for the room."

Roshanne Beach Resort, Kalpitiya Hotels in Puttalam

Roshanne Beach Resort, Kalpitiya

"I spent the most lovely and restful vacation at Roshanne Beach Resort with my boyfriend. From our own balcony, we were able to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets every evening in this exquisite setting. With lots of private areas to unwind and enjoy each other's company, the resort's atmosphere is ideal for couples. A highlight was the lovely setting and delectable meal of the romantic dinner on the beach. The spa treatments offered were immensely soothing, and the service was flawless. It was the most ideal getaway that we could have hoped for. I heartily suggest this for couples!"

Villa Sunbird Negombo Hotels in Puttalam

Villa Sunbird Negombo

"I stayed here for 3 nights on our arrival to Colombo and just had the most wonderful time. Approx 30 mins from the airport, it allows for a relaxing start or end to your trip in Sri Lanka, away from the bustle of Colombo. The pool was lovely to use and the rooms were gorgeous and clean. There is a lovely entrance to the beach through palm and mangrove trees and the beach is nice although rough. The staff were helpful and kind and I had delicious Sri Lankan food prepared for me. I recommend the string hoppers with potato curry and pol sambol for breakfast. And for dinner a fish/prawn dish as it comes fresh from the ocean the same day. Overall great if you’re looking for a breather outside of Colombo in a beautiful, relaxing location."

Cloud Nine Lanka Resort Wilpattu Hotels in Puttalam

Cloud Nine Lanka Resort Wilpattu

"Beautifully serene. Huts in jungle like seeming setting. It is Down small dirt road and easy to get to. Rooms are good size and very clean. Excellent shower. In room the A/c is good despite being remote. Good WiFi all areas. Pretty room Balcony. Lovely staff . Everything you need in room including hairdryer , umbrellas, Mosi plug, torch and fridge. Has tv but did not try. Room had 1 double and 2 twins - so would be good for a family. Set menu for evening meal from which you Choose in advance. Food good. Drinks Higher price as captive There is a Viewing platform but Don’t even try and use with small kids or even older children without strict supervision . In terms of on site activities apart from pool and prebookable trips ( 1 1/2 hours from Wilpattu NP) we could not find anything to do. I note other comments about adjoining mangrove etc but there is absolutely no information and staff were very unforthcoming. Might have been language barrier . Lack of information earns 4 instead of 5 rating."

"Restaurant is so horrible. So dirty, so no WiFi, so bad waiter. The worse restaurant I’ve been on Sri Lanka. If you want wait for 40-60 minuets without WiFi for you food than go there. More salt in his food is a slogan of this place."

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 ★★★★★
"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."

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"
