Melheim Beach Kalpitiya
8.6 (45 reviews)

Melheim Beach Kalpitiya ★★★★

📍 Beach Road, Mampuriya, Narakkalli, Norochcholai

"The location is good, right next to the beach, very quiet, but a few kilometers from the town, requiring a taxi ride (around 20 yuan round trip). The hotel pool had small insects, and the restaurant food was just average. Hot water wasn't checked upon check-in, and there was no hot water when I showered in the middle of the night. I couldn't find any hotel staff anywhere... I only saw them the next morning! However, the staff were quite friendly, the hotel was relatively clean, and the owner seemed nice."

Wind Blend Kite Resort
8.4 (9 reviews)

Wind Blend Kite Resort ★★★

📍 Kappalady, Puttalam

"Just spent an amazing week at Wind Blend! What a brilliant little find and I cannot recommend enough. There is a beautiful little community forming around this resort with the other local businesses like Lagoonies (local cafe/dinner spot with kite surfing rentals and lessons). So welcoming and open to new people! Thank you everyone! The resort it self is across two sites across the road from Each other with two beautiful bungalows on the lagoon/beach side, and then the main area with checkin and Reatutant set in a area full of trees, along with 6 other bungalows- these are all beautifully designed with outdoor showers, and beautiful patio to chill on. These are eco friendly rooms with Fans and cold water only but designed to be passive cooling so I didn’t even need the fan or hot water given the tanks warm up the water in the sun. There is also a yoga shala to do self practice or get a class if they have a teacher- luckily during my time there was- Yamini’s restorative practices were amazing after a day kite surfing- massages available also. Bikes available for rent, lots of hammocks, kids play equipment - everything has been thought of here- one of the best places of stayed in my two months in Sri Lanka! The wifi was also brilliant so if you’re a digital nomad or need to take a few work calls this place was reliable with fibre connection- a rare find in Sri Lanka let alone the northwest area. Thanks to all the staff who had this week amazing- the manager Sudath (who designed and built the whole resort!) can help you book onwards travel and give you locals tips, and thanks to the chef, who prepared beautiful bbqs and outdoor dinners under the stars. The whole team was attentive and willing to help. Honestly I can not recommend enough and thank you to the team! Kite surfer or not this place is great to just chill away from the world and enjoy nature! "

Wattura Resort & Spa
9.2 (45 reviews)

Wattura Resort & Spa ★★★★★

📍 1271 Kammala South Road, Waikkal, Puttalam

"This hotel is located in a prime spot between a beach and a river, making it an ideal destination for families. The atmosphere is incredibly kid-friendly, which was a huge plus for my family. The rooms are spacious and have ample room for kids to play and explore within the rooms themselves. While the value may be slightly higher compared to other hotels, we were able to get a discounted rate, which made it worth it. The hotel boasts a water park, which is the highlight for the kids, and they absolutely loved it. Even adults can enjoy the water park, making it a great place for all ages. There’s also a gaming area that’s still under construction, but there are some games that are already available. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, and they go above and beyond to ensure that guests have a pleasant stay. One thing that I should mention is that most hotels offer bulk food platters, but this hotel has a variety of platters that are not only delicious but also have enough food to satisfy everyone. I especially want to thank the chef for creating such delicious food. The overall staff is friendly and helpful, and I particularly enjoyed the service of Ms. Chathurika. There was also a flute player who played calming music during our meals, adding to the overall ambiance of the hotel. In conclusion, this hotel is a fantastic place to stay for families. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing vacation."

Club Palm Bay ★★★★★
"The resort is located in a peaceful and quiet area. We stayed here in August, which is a very quiet time of year. If you are looking for peace and relaxation, this is a wonderful place to stay. The staff is absolutely phenomenal. They quickly understand who you are and what your wishes and needs are. They truly love children, and our 10-year-old son had an amazing time. Everyone is always willing to help wherever they can. The restaurant deserves a special thank you for the delicious food and excellent service. The service was very personal, and we always felt genuinely welcomed and looked after. A big thank you to the housekeeping team as well. Our room was cleaned perfectly every day, and we loved coming back to see the creative towel animals, beautifully decorated with flowers on our bed. It was such a lovely and thoughtful touch! Thank you to the reception team and the doorman for your kindness and warm welcome. You made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. And a special thank you to the gardeners, who work hard every day to keep everything so beautiful. The gardens and grounds are very well maintained and look absolutely lovely. Most excursions are between one and three hours away by car, but honestly, that is more than worth it. After a day of sightseeing, it feels wonderful to return to the peace and tranquillity of the resort. This was our first time in Sri Lanka, and we had a truly wonderful holiday. We would like to thank everyone at the resort for making our stay so special! One small tip: next to the hotel there is a little shop called S&S. It is a convenient shop, but keep an eye on the total when paying, as we noticed that the lady sometimes adds a few extra rupees to the bill. The shop on the other side of the hotel, just past the bend, is a little cheaper."

Suriya Resort ★★★★★
"We had a lovely stay at Suriya Resort on 13th and 14th April. This was actually my first visit to the property, as I usually stay at Club Hotel Dolphin when travelling to Waikkala, so it was a nice change for me. I must say the overall experience was excellent. The resort has a very pleasant atmosphere, the staff were warm, attentive and welcoming throughout the stay, and the food was genuinely very good. We tried both the buffet and the in-room dining, and both were very enjoyable. The food was tasty, well prepared and the quality was consistently good. It was a short stay, but a very pleasant one, and honestly one night was not enough. I would be very happy to return again. Thank you to the team at Suriya Resort for making the stay such an enjoyable one."

Wind Blend Kite Resort ★★★
"The area this resort is in slum area. Here there is nothing. The beach is walking 30 - 40 minutes if you are fast walking or slow. If the way is the lagoon there is not nice smell and algie to the waist then the land is broken and 15 minutes. The coconut man is real nice and clean his beach, the next parts both ways has many plastic parts and fish parts with smell. The boss is not nice with staff persons but they are nice and hard worker. We are not go again to here it is not a good place for holiday. Herr Schäfer"

Wattura Resort & Spa ★★★★★
"We booked 3 river suites here for our family. It was one of the best resorts we experienced. From the booking over the phone until the check out it’s was perfect with great hospitality. Piyumika( front office) was very responsive over the phone and during our check in and check out. Rooms were so spacious with all modern amenities and spotless clean. Separate balconies/ verandas and your own garden space to relax. The complimentary snacks were so yummy. Food served at the restaurant was delicious. Variety of options are available to select as its set menu. Tharaka who served us was very helpful and patient with all are requests. Garden and the pool was well maintained and provides you with space to relax. Best experience for kids was the amazing water park and the game station. It’s fully functional and very clean. Best experience in a hotel with this type of facilities for kids. Staff were very friendly and ready to help. Kids were so surprised with the soft toy offered at the check out .Well maintained property we will definitely visit again and recommend everyone with families to enjoy the resort."
