We had a bungalow on the beach that was mostly deserted. The room was basic but adequate the bed was comfortable with a reasonable sized wetroom. The owner and staff on site were excellent and could not do enough for us including excursions. We had breakfast and evening meal every day and the food was amazing. It was cooked to order on site and although it was traditional Sri Lankan food we did not have the same thing twice. We will be returning for the peace and tranquillity

We loved everything about Kodev! The location is as private as you can get, the facility is definitely luxury camping (just don’t forget you’re still camping, i.e wild life in your tent, donkey and goats at your porch!). The staff were helpful, professional, and always greet us with sincere smile. Chanaka helped us arranged activities and even set us up a private lantern-lit dinner on the jetty on or last night. It was a perfect last two days of our Sri Lanka honeymoon!

I booked a dorm but they gave me a private hut. The food was really good and at a reasonable price. They even had a special Sri Lankan breakfast on Independence Day. The owner was friendly and helpful. You can book scuba diving, kite surfing, snorkeling, and a tuktuk back into town through them as well. The wifi was good and they had nice outdoor spaces like hammocks and picnic tables to relax on. I ended up extending an extra day to relax. I would definitely go back.

We had an amazing stay in this hostel. The rooms are cleaned every day, the pool is more than enough for all, the food is very good (and almost all the time vegetarian). Sri, the manager, does everything he is able to do to fulfill your wishes. They just cleaning the area in front of the resort to have a own beach in the future, and it looks already great. To sum up: if we come to sri lanka again, we'll definitely come back to the Horizon Beach Resort.

We loved this place right the beach! Even extended our stay for two extra days. Don't book anywhere else, you won't be happy. Gorgeous view, amazing kite instructors, incredible homemade food and overall chill vibe. Super clean, the staff is unbelievable - think 5 star luxury treatment. Finish your day in a hammock overlooking the sea drinking espresso. If we did not absolutely have to leave we'd still be there.

Fantastic location! The beach is 50 meters from the hostel and all the kitesurf schools are located just around, so everything is within walking distance. The Staff was really nice and the owner Douglas was really great and very helpful. The Hostel was clean and you got beds with mosquitoes net over them. Really great especially for that price. Will definitely stay there again if I come back to Kalpitiya.

The friendliness of the staff, great food and wonderful location right next to an unspoiled stretch of beach. The cabanas are quirky with ecological features such as the use of reclaimed or natural materials, no plastic bottles etc. There are lots of quiet places to relax as well as a chilled beach hut bar for cocktails. Ideal place to wind down at the end of a holiday touring round the island.

The staff goes out of their way to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We stayed there with our 1.5 year old boy and sometimes we had to look for him because he was playing with the staff. The hotel recently opened and everything is new and well thought out. Kite lanka is next door so also for kitesurfers that want some more luxury this is convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

This was probably the best end of my 4 week trip through Sri Lanka I could have imagined!!! The cabanas are comfortable and I love the outside shower (showering under the stars!!). But what made my stay absolutely perfect was Tushita! He is so sweet, funny and an amazing chef: my Lankan Dad! The location is also perfect as it's only a 2 minute walk until the beach.

Beautiful resort. Maduka was exceptional. AJ the manager was a wonderful host and very knowledgeable on the area and particularly with the day tour to the Wilpatta National Park. The accommodation was wonderful and very comfortable. We loved every minute and so did our children. Thank you for making our first trip to Sri Lanka so memorable.

The beach hut style rooms with outdoor shower provided something a bit different and were well set up with good mosquito nets and towels provided. Our host was very friendly, great English and very helpful. He has two bikes to use for free which we used to go to Kalpitiya. Dolphin trip was fantastic.

- good quality/price (the best in area) - super licstiin : among the closest hotels to the beach (40m) - dive center, kyte school and bar-resto at less then 100m - very weloming and helpfull staff - propose dinners and drinken - confortable, clean, and mosquito net

The kindest owners! Really very good people running the guest house! Comfortable bad! Good value for money. Although it’s far from the beach, and actually for this very reason, there are cheaper restaurants in the area (about 1km away) with local and western food.

Perfect location for winter kiting, just 2 min walk to the beach. Good and helpful stuff. Very tasty rice and chilly shrimps. We had an issue with the booking and the personal helped us to manage the issue.

Beach, staff

Amazing resort!!! The staff were very friendly and helpful! Always with a smile and always seeing if everything is okay. The food was fantastic with the amazing Sri Lankan breakfast with Omelette’s being made by the pool, fresh juices and fruits and lots of Sri Lankan local food!! The grilled shrimp for dinner was fantastic!! Our beach villa was beside the Pool/beach with a beautiful terrace. The outdoor shower was Incredible with the shower head coming out of the palm tree and with amazing strong pressure like a full body massage. We also did a trip to see the dolphins and lucked out with a pod of over 50!! Definitely a must stay!!! We headed there straight from the airport for 3 days which was an amazing choice!!! Highly recommended!

Loved this place! The best stay in Sri Lanka. Host is very welcoming and kind. Staff is friendly. I enjoyed chatting with them and playing cards. Everyone was doing their best to make our stay as good as possible. Special thanks to Divya who was super helpful. Enjoyed every minute and felt like home! Boat ride to the beach was amazing. Pool was very clean. And going with kayaks in the end of the day was refreshing. Can totally recommend. Would love to come back to this place and see everyone's smiles again.

You wake up and see kitesurfers in lagoon)) great view! Everybody were really helpfull with all of my needs, good food, clean room, nice place to stay in Kalpitiya. Was a pleasure to be there!
