Unser Aufenthalt war wunderschön! Die Zimmer sind modern und sauber, die Anlage sehr nett gestaltet und das Personal ausgesprochen bemüht und gut gelaunt. Die Lage ist top für Safaris, die auch von der Unterkunft organisiert werden. Außerdem war das Essen (sowohl Frühstück als auch Abendessen) ein Traum! Nur zu empfehlen!!

I stayed at this accommodation for two nights and really enjoyed my stay. The owner is very nice and gave me a lot of support in planning the journey to and from the hotel. He also planned the safari for me. This was a great experience as the guide had a lot of knowledge. Another highlight was the dinner. The room was perfectly fine for the two nights. The room was very clean. I can highly recommend this accommodation.

Everything! Roshan the owner and all the staff were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to ensure we had an amazing stay. Nicky and Ranil did the best safari, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and went out of their way for us. The food was great, such variety and as vegan travelers, Roshan ensured we had soya chunks and lots of variety. His wife even cooked banana bread without egg. Delicious. They are kind hearted and we would highly recommend staying here. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and have everything you need. We would recommend arranging taxi transport through Roshan as very reasonable and definitely do the safari with them. Value for money and so good. We hope to return ❤️

Family-run place with a very warm and attentive local touch. The family is lovely and the room is brand new. The outdoor shower under the coconut tree was my favorite part. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood located between the village and the beach area, making it easy to explore everything. We rented bikes and could get around quickly everywhere. Highly recommended.

This is quite simply an exceptional hotel, made so not only by our beautiful room and the surroundings, but by Mark and the team of people who made our stay so special. This is one we will always remember for being unique and idylic. Our kayak on the lake with Ravi was fantastic and Ravi's knowledge about the wildlife was exceptional. The whole team were there at 4.30am to ensure we had everything we could possibly ask for before our early morning safari. I can not praise our stay highly enough and we would have loved to have stayed for longer. Thank you Mark and everyone who made our stay so very perfect.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Suriya, and I must say it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that truly made me feel at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their friendliness and attentiveness were remarkable, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about the well-being of their guests. Whether it was providing recommendations for local attractions or simply offering a friendly smile, the staff consistently exceeded my expectations.

What an incredible stay! We loved the communal meals, and it was such a treat to have both Sri Lankan and Italian food (and drinks) — my favourite cuisines! We bonded with really interesting people from all over the world! Everything was super comfortable and relaxed, even though we didn’t kite surf we had a brilliant time and loved the morning yoga sessions. Sunsets at the jetty were super special. Grazie!

We had a wonderful stay almost the entire hotel to ourselves since it seemed to be low season. Our Vila was very big and clean and comfortable. The bathroom outside was really nice although I never went out by myself lol. Be careful squirrels that go in your room to look for food but are harmless!! The breakfast was good and the pool always clean. Beautiful walk to the beach.

Perfect stay at the Karanukarala Ayurveda resort, especially the Ayurveda treatment was wonderful. In the beginning, the crew told me it was fully booked, but in the end, they managed to schedule it for me. The room was big, and really clean and the beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay there, especially to relax (recommend the yoga and meditation classes).

We loved how beautifully designed the resort was, using natural local materials throughout. Our hut was lovely and the outdoor bathroom was very special. All the staff were extremely helpful and caring. The salt pool, sea view, and beach sunsets made our stay very special. Food was generally ok/good but the evening curry’s were delicious!

I did a solo trip to Wilpattu and stayed in one of the tents, and I absolutely loved the experience. The tent was very spacious, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The team arranged my safari, which made everything so easy, and I was able to order a delicious dinner as well as a packed breakfast to take with me on the early morning safari. Their hospitality was excellent throughout my stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Wilpattu. A perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and experience the wildlife.

The Manager of the hotel and his staff (including 3 dogs and a cat) are above any praise. If you seek for a well organized place to rest without problems do come to Puetz Travels Beach Resort. Mr. Marcus will make your trip a real holyday. Even wild crocodiles that live in the nearby river dream to move to the magic canals of Puetz Travels Beach Resort. I wish i were among the lucky ones.

Largest NP in SL. Think with the highest density of leopards in South Asia. But due to the roads inside the NP getting damaged due to a strong cyclone in Nov25, access to some parts of the park is restricted. But still its an interesting place to visit

Kalpitiya is a very nice place to enjoy Kitesurfing in Sri Lanka. The atmosphere is very agreeable. The people are very pleasant and peacefull. There are plenty of places where to eat in Kudawa. It may just be a bit challenging on the first days to get the hang of it. Once understood, we don't want to leave it.

You need a car or a Tuk Tuk to take you anywhere as it is away from any shops ect The hotel was very helpful and arranged a Tuk Tuk to take us to the market and religious site. Be mindful regarding the beaches as they are not fit to swim in due to the plastic rubbish and pollution in the water. We went for a walk on the beach but came back after a few hundred metres as it was too depressing to go any further due to the plastic rubbish all over the beach and the millions of microplastic balls that we thought were stones and then realised what it was. Very disturbing

Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination.

Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination. It's the only place in Sri Lanka where you can take kitesurfing lessons and safely practice kitesurfing with expert assistance from seasoned local kitesufers. Although it's generally considered an arid landscape, even in August, one of the driest months in Sri Lanka, it was largely green and without sweltering heat. Probably, the strong wind causes the heat to dissipate. There's a long stretch of fairly clean beach to explore. Many hotels to stay in and many restaurants to dine at. If you take the train from the Colombo fort railway station like me, you can get down at Palaviya station and walk about 100 metres to reach the road leading from Palaviya to Kalpitiya and take a bus from there and then get down at either Kurinjipitiya or Kalpitiya depending on where you plan to visit and/or stay in. Apart from Kitesurfing, you can go sightseeing, see dolphins, bask in the sunshine, take boat tours, cycle and more in Kalpitiya.
