Super hotel and good value for money! This tidy and clean. You have the option to have fan or AC. The bathroom is outside with a roof, but all hotels are like this in this city. The owner is very nice and answers all questions very quickly. The hotel is well located, close to other hotels/restaurant and to KSL camp if you want to kite. I’ll come back!

The perfect choice if you want to do a safari in Wilpattu! The resort is modern and clean, situated a few minutes from the national park, in a peaceful area, close to nature. The family that runs the resort and all the staff are amazing, very friendly and welcoming, they make sure that your stay is perfect. They can help organise transport to/from the resort, and of course organise a safari for you. The safari they organised for us - for a reasonable price - was the experience of a lifetime. Of course it is down to luck which animals you can see, but we had very experienced spotters who pointed out even the most hidden animals we would have never noticed and were also very attentive to our requests (when to take breaks, etc.). The resort also offered a great culinary experience: you are treated to a tasty sri lankan, home-cooked buffet breakfast each day and can opt for a buffet dinner too, which has an amazingly wide selection of home-cooked dishes as well.

We stayed for one night but next time we’ll manage to stay more. The property is very nice & Elizabeth and the staff are always available to make you feel cared. The room was cozy, spacious and well designed. Special mention for the kitchen: delicious dishes and authentic Ceylon’s experience. Well definitely come back. The garden is also beautiful and you can go to the beach, which is just in front of the house.

I really enjoyed my stay. The wooden bungalows are very rustic and cozy, with open roofing and an outdoor shower. The garden is well-maintained too. The school has a WhatsApp group where they share information about lesson planning, wind conditions, and activities, which I found really well-organized. Dinners are served with all the guests at the kite center, which was just 5 minutes away by bike. Safran was my instructor. He is very experienced and teaches in a great way—always calm, helpful, and full of good advice. I made great progress thanks to him. I felt like in a kitesurf community . Thanks a lot to Safran and all the Margarita staff!

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).

Comfortable glamping tents in beautiful surroundings close to Wilpattu National Park. We booked a package with a half-day safari and dinner and were not disappointed. We spotted a leopard and a bear, but that takes some luck as the vegetation is quite dense. We were upgraded to luxury tents as we were the only guests.

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.

When going on safari, go at the crack of dawn as there is a queue of vehicles at the gate. So leave before 6am. Go for a whole day safari not a half day otherwise you’ll miss out some of the animals Great lots of wildlife. Also check out the weather as we had rain in the afternoon

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

Beautiful nature of the national park with the possibility of observing many wild animals, a paradise for bird watchers. If you are lucky, you can see a leopard or elephants. Very good accessibility by bus from Anuradhapura. Near the entrance to the park there is a large selection of accommodation and safari providers.
