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."

Kite Paradise Resort-Kalpitiya

"Tuk Tuk chaufføren tog mig derhen og svor, at det var Kite Brothers Resort...Jeg var Scammed Poor kvalitetsværelse med udendørs toiletter og brusere."

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."

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."

Roshanne Beach Resort, Kalpitiya

"Unfortunately we had a very bad experience here, due to extremely unprofessional management. I booked directly on the hotel's website. When we arrived, the manager first claimed we had cancelled our booking, when we had done no such thing. Our rooms were very basic (tiny windows, hardly any furniture) but ok, with a beautiful verandah. Our bathrooms were very disappointing: toilet broke down constantly, the water from the sink ran straight onto the floor instead of draining away through piping. On several mornings, there was no water supply. Roomkeeping is almost non-existent unless you repeatedly ask for it. Someone in our family got sick at night, we had to wait until noon before it was cleaned up. The grounds of the resort are quite beautiful and the pool is enjoyable. We took half board. Some dinners and breakfasts were good, others were disappointing (nothing but fried rice for dinner or last night's leftover potato curry for breakfast). Restaurant staff were very friendly and courteous. We tried to book a boating activity but were offered one at double the price of what we got when we booked directly with a boat guide, so that felt like an attempted rip-off. The beach near the hotel is quite polluted with lots of plastic litter, not a place you can let your children play carefree. All of this would have been somewhat acceptable if we had been charged the rate that we got offered when I made the booking and for which I got a booking confirmation. To my shock and disgust, when going to check out, I was charged triple the price of my booking! The management claimed the website had offered me an incorrect price. He threatened to call the police if I didn't pay the triple rate. They ended up charging me a little less than that but still more than double than the rate I was given when booking. A price which is out of proportion to the quality of the stay. But most of all an extremely unprofessional and unpleasant way treating your guests by the management. Avoid. (Nb: Many of their reviews also seem fake, with similar phrases reappearing throughout. )"

Hotel Pearl Gate

"The hotel is just a few minutes away from the large Avenue, the street is over and noisy. The night is a noisy sleeping. The boss's welcome is very sympathetic choice of room with or without Clim, free WiFi, boiler in the room. Iron to go back to the first floor, freezer accessible to the client with water in bottles."
