Bar Reef Resort
9.6 (20 reviews)

Bar Reef Resort ★★★★

📍 Norochcholoai, Alankuda, Off Kalpitiya Road, Puttalam

"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."

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."

Villa Santé Kalpitiya & Kite Surfing by TSC
9.6 (18 reviews)

Villa Santé Kalpitiya & Kite Surfing by TSC ★★★★

📍 Unnamed Road, Puttalam

"We had a memorable, heartwarming and adventurous time at this charming villa, on our recent trip to Sri Lanka. The bedrooms were spacious, clean, air-conditioned, comfortable and cozy. The six staff members who attended to our needs from pool-side to dining hall, were warm, humble, respectful and went beyond the call of duty. The meals were Sri Lankan delights on our request (and teenagers ate in between meals also), including lagoon-side seafood specialties. Cooked with fresh ingredients, the meals were scrumptious. In this lovely remote villa, set in a coconut grove with Sri Lankan type hospitality, we made lasting memories playing many board games way into the night, engaging in pool volleyball competitions and indulging in long family type meals. The villa is right beside a kite surfing school, where my teenage kids and their cousins learned this fun sport, in a safe environment. Our trip was topped by an early morning safari to Wilpattu (Sri-lanka’s largest forest reserve), which was an hour’s drive from the villa. Highly recommended for large families with kids."

Calypso Sunset Beach Hotel
8.9 (3 reviews)

Calypso Sunset Beach Hotel ★★★

📍 3rd Lane, Sarappuwatta, Ambakandawila Road, Puttalam

"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"

Club Palm Bay Hotels in Puttalam

"We'd like to share our impressions of our stay at this hotel. We spent 8 nights here with friends. The hotel is truly spacious, with well-maintained green grounds and a convenient location (across the road from the beach, surrounded by a river). We liked the all-inclusive meal plan: there was always a good selection of both Sri Lankan and European cuisine. The rooms are spacious, with a balcony and a bathroom. In our opinion, they could use some cosmetic updating. Unfortunately, two issues seriously marred our stay. 1. The situation with animals on the premises. There are cats and dogs on the hotel grounds. We were very sad to see that, in our opinion, some staff members' treatment of them is not humane. We personally witnessed them being chased away, and in some cases, doused with hot water and physically assaulted. This was very upsetting. 2. Insect control. During our stay, during the day, when many guests (including families with children) were around the pool and dining area, hotel staff began chemically treating the area. A thick, pungent odor spread, covering the pool, lounge, and dining areas. The fact that this treatment was carried out without warning and in the presence of people (especially children in the pool) was extremely surprising and concerning. My husband has asthma, and he had to urgently use his inhaler. As someone with an agricultural background, I understand the necessity of such treatments, but we believe that conducting them during peak guest activity hours is unsafe. We contacted the management to request information about the medication used for our doctor, but we were never provided with this information. Overall, the hotel infrastructure leaves a pleasant impression, but the reported incidents regarding animal welfare and guest safety significantly impacted our overall experience."

"Went for my parent's anniversary and the process and service was top notch from the reservation till the end of it all. Mr.Eranda set us up with a complementary cake for the parents with "Happy Anniversary on it". We ordered food from their Ala Carte menu and food was delicious, nothing to say much. Overall Dileepa was so helpful in providing everything we asked for. A huge 👏 thank you to him. Last but not least, this place is absolutely gorgeous for the evenings. Spectacular sunset view extending from the pool to the beach. Hopefully will be back here again. Manujaya singing out for now ❤️💪"

Bar Reef Resort ★★★★
"Bar Reef Resort is thoughtfully designed to make your experience extra special - the rooms and outdoor spaces are luxurious, spacious and super comfortable. The pool area offers total relaxation and the staff are always around and happy to help. We felt right at home with Sampath and the other staff members being extra friendly and accommodating. The sea view is breathtaking and every space is well kept -- daily house keepers clean the rooms which is an added luxury. There isn't much around the hotel but that didn't matter for a 4 day trip as we didn't need to leave!"

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!"

Villa Santé Kalpitiya & Kite Surfing by TSC ★★★★
"What an awesome place to get amongst one of the most renowned spots for kite surfing with a constant lagoon just off the surf break - or do nothing and just watch some true experts who recognise how good it is. The vila has a great feel and lots of places to watch and chill as well as a swimming pool - great for laps or just chilling right off the lagoon. The architect design is right up there with plenty of thought into every space. I asked the chef to get some crabs and she made one of the best crab curries I’ve had - and I’ve had a few."

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."
