Staff were wonderful and accommodating - went out of their way to make our experience memorable. The staff were really helpful in organising our safaris, including arranging a great guide!

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!

We had a wonderful stay at the Ceylon Resort. Roshan and his family gave us a warm welcome and did everything in their power to make our stay rememberable. We highly recommend to do the full day safari which was perfectly organised by the hotel. The tour guide (Nici) was the sweetest person and made the safari even better. The hotel is very clean and the food (breakfast and dinner) is fabulous. 10/10

My stay at JKL Maha Oya Villa was a true pleasure. This newly opened place is a small paradise — a beautiful, well-kept garden, a refreshing swimming pool, and the gentle Maha Oya river flowing right next door. From the very first moment, I felt completely at home. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring, always ready to help with a smile. The area is wonderfully quiet, making it an ideal place for deep rest, yoga, meditation, or simply stepping out of the busy rhythm of everyday life for a few days. The view from the veranda of my room was absolutely awesome — peaceful, green, and deeply calming, perfect for morning tea or watching the evening settle in. A beautiful little jewel yet to be discovered — I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for serenity, comfort, and authentic hospitality.

We had an amazing stay at the Leopard Inn. Prathap, the manager provided amazing service and made sure we got everything we needed. The Inn is located right next to the national park, so very convenient for the safari. We had an amazing breakfast on top of the lake with a special boat. Really made the experience amazing!

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).

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.

Nattandiya is a hidden gem! This quiet village offers an authentic Sri Lankan experience away from the tourist crowds. The peaceful atmosphere is perfect for relaxation, and the local community is incredibly welcoming. We loved experiencing traditional fishing and cooking with the locals - it gave us a real insight into Sri Lankan village life. The area is beautifully serene with easy access to the coast. If you're looking for genuine cultural immersion in a tranquil setting, Nattandiya is the perfect destination. Best value for money we've found in Sri Lanka!

Largest NP in SL.

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 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.

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

Nattandiya is a beautiful, peaceful area that's perfect for travelers seeking tranquility away from the busy tourist spots. The location offers lush green surroundings and a genuine Sri Lankan village atmosphere. It's conveniently located for exploring the west coast while maintaining that calm, authentic feel. The local people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. I found it to be an ideal base for relaxation while still being accessible to nearby attractions. The area has a nice selection of local restaurants and small shops. If you're looking for a quiet retreat with easy access to beaches and nature, Nattandiya is an excellent choice. Highly recommend staying here for a more authentic Sri Lankan experience!
