Foods are delicious and fresh
Good place
Newly-established property.
(+) Shibi and the team are all very kind and friendly.
Food is just outstanding. It is a story of Sri Lankan food culture, colours, textures, and flavours.
Beautifully set-up with eco design and furnishing.
Shibi is very concerned about the wellness of the guests. She would check if we were comfortable, or if we would need an afternoon snack, packed breakfast, etc.
The kitchen staff are just very sweet, polite and helpful. I tried to speak to them but I did not get any response so I am not too sure whether they understand me. But if I bring in an empty bottle, they would comprehend the situation and fill it in for me immediately.
Very picturesque lagoon, you can easily spend days watching the trumpet fish, the water birds, the crows, the sun setting, the cute spider and the flame-back woodpecker (endemic) around the property.
Very good location. Wilpattu National Park entrance is less than an hour away, Bar Reef is a boat away.
Generous amount of attention for each and every customer.
Ana and Kurumba (cheeky yet very well-mannered).
(-) The cleanliness could be improved. Traces of rodents during my check-in, blood stains on the bed sheet (not mine), towels that leaves blue fluff on your skin and itchy pillow cases.
On my third night, there was a loud party next door until 4 am in the morning (I used ear-plug, but you can feel the terrible bass anyway). I might not mind a party but not necessarily when I need to wake up at 6am for a boat tour. :)
(+-) some things to consider if you are visiting:
- Mosquitoes, mosquitoes and mosquitoes. A lot of mosquitoes. Get lots of strong repellents.
- It is a long drive to Kalpitiya from airport, it took me 4+ hours.
- The location is rather remote so understandably, wifi is barely ever working. (I did not mind too much, but if you need to sort out bookings or to use it for work, it can get really frustating).
Overall, a resort with great hospitality, care and potential.
Will I return?
Yes.
One of the most peaceful and comfortable place I've been in Sri Lanka !
stunning views from the bungalows and amazing colorful tasting meals at the living area ( open space in the middle of the property ).
The owner is a lovely person with lots of attention for customers and details ! the staff are all very cute ! !!
There are many different activities to organise here and everyone is happy to help you with it!
perfect place to stay !
Lovely!
Amazing, serene location with beautiful views of the lagoon. Ideal for a relaxing holiday away from the crowds and noise. The food is super authentic and some of the best Sri Lankan dishes in the country! Plenty of activities in the area with a kite surfing school next door and SUP options at the property itself. The cabanas are spread across a large property, therefore it remains very private and not overcrowded at all, with great attention to detail and the guests!
Spend the morning/afternoon/evening dolphin watching, swimming at the beach, or engaging in any of the numerous water sports, and come back to a beautiful meal and stunning property, mostly all to yourself.
