I had an amazing stay at this hotel with my family! The ocean view from our room was breathtaking, and the room was spotlessly clean. The staff's hospitality was exceptional, making us feel welcome and cared for throughout our visit. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable family getaway!

The location is very close to the National Park. It is only about 8 minutes by Tuk-Tuk which they kindly organised for both our safaris. Leopard Inn arranged our tour of Wilpattu National Park at a reasonable price and our onward transport. Prathap could not have been more attentive even giving us cushions for our comfort on our safari. Everything was clean, comfortable and worked as it should. The accommodations that we chose were self contained cabins beside a river. Opposite there is some building work at the moment but it did not disturb our peace. We had a take away breakfast which was adequate. The pools are tiny plunge pools and very refreshing after a day's safari

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.

The team at Raalmadu resort are by far the most accommodating and caring family of amazing people I have ever met. I've travelled the world far and wide for my job over the last 10 years and I've never met a group of people so lovely, so warm, so welcoming, so accomodating and kind. The owner even picked me up personally in his car and drove me 3 hours out to the resort when he found out there was an issue with the organised driver and checked in with me regularly during my stay to make sure all was okay. The resort itself sits on the very edge of the national park and you feel completely immersed in nature, so much so that you can even see elephants right at the resort itself! They come to drink at the pond at the end of the property and cross the river at times too. The food at the resort is also amazing!!! They prepare it fresh for you every meal and they cater to whatever you're feeling like and offer an amazing authentic Sri Lankan cuisine experience . The room is beautiful too and has everything you could need while enjoying the bliss of the jungle. I was even lucky enough to spot a leopard on my safari in Wilpattu. It's so rare to find an authentic gem like this is today's world, where everything is personal, thoughtful, and completely surrounded by nature. I'll be coming back again, not just once or twice, but many times!!! My kind heart felt thank you again Raalmadu, I left my stay feeling like family! See you all again soon!!!

    Wonderful Stay at Dolphin Hotel – Heartfelt Thanks to the Amazing Team! We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the staff at Dolphin Hotel for making our 4-day stay an exceptionally pleasant one. A special shout-out to the Food and Beverages Manager, Ganidu Yapa, Gayan Jayasuriya, and the talented pastry chef for preparing the most delicious eggless desserts – especially the best biscuit pudding – and a delightful spinach pie! To the restaurant staff: thank you for your warm service and constant smiles, even during the busiest moments. A big thank you as well to the animation and sports organiser, Imantha for arranging the enjoyable badminton match – it added a fun and active touch to our stay. Your dedication truly stood out. We will definitely be coming back and will happily recommend Dolphin Hotel to our friends

    So very much enjoyed our month stay at Club Palm Bay… the management and staff TRULY exceeded our expectations in every way!!! We chose the all-inclusive option for convenience and were very happy with it; large variety of great food and drinks. The Staff were always willing to go above and beyond to help us and make us feel like it was our home away from home. We cannot thank all of them enough for such an enjoyable month long stay. So good in fact, that we decided to stay another month plus. If I had to choose one person that stands out and that's very hard to do because the list is very long who deserves recognition it would be a server named Thushan, who also I feel should be considered for a well-earned promotion… but again; all management and staff are outstanding!!! Highly suggest Club Palm Bay for your stay in Sri Lanka!!!

    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).

    This is one of the largest national parks in Sri Lanka, and it has the highest leopard density. But please don't just go and do the usual leopard watching, it gets crowded. Talk to your tour guide or hotel and do some of the less-travelled routes inside the park, and you will enjoy the nature of Sri Lanka on a whole other level. You might not see any big mammals, but you will understand and enjoy the nature, history and biodiversity. If you are going, spend one day doing the usual "touristy" route, then spend the rest of your time exploring the less-travelled routes. There is magic in these jungles. Go find it!

    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.

    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.

    it is my ancestral hometown. I visited Katuneriya in order to find my long-lost friends from childhood and to find survivors of deceased relations. I also discovered most of the by lanes towards seaside have become narrower due to encroachments and descendants of my relatives have migrated to Italy. Many large villas built over the years, resembling Italian houses lying empty. most of the households have better living standards and few people are engaged in fishing.

    We planed our trip for three days.

    We planed our trip for three days. There are several places to visit in Kalpitiya. We went to Kalpitiya Dutch fort, also Kalpitiya Dutch church. St. Anne's National Shrine is located nearby. It is known as Thalawila Church too. No matter what religion you follow, St. Anne’s Church in Thalawila is one of the most ancient and wonderful of all Christian shrines in Sri Lanka. Our third day was very exiting because we planned a boat ride to Baththalangunduwa island. Baththalangunduwa is an island off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka, reachable from Kalpitiya. The boat ride from Kalpitiya is roughly 32 kilometers long and takes approximately 3.5 hours. Camping on this island is becoming increasingly popular among local tourists.
