A truely amazing experience made perfect by the wonderful team. We stayed for 4 nights and could not find fault. The food was excellent and the staff could not have done more for us. We had a dolphin watching trip and a reef fishing trip where we caught baracuda which was expertly prepared for us that evening for supper. The beach cabana was clean and comfortable.

This is a small and cosy hotel with all the necessary amenities (except aircon and pool). Just steps away from one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. We were alone in the hotel most of the time, but even when it fills up it will never feel anything like a beach resort. Really exceptional place.

Kalpitiya is still undeveloped and after spending 10 days looking around, I can say this is by far the best hotel in the area.
The hotel is on the beach, has a great pool, modern air conditioning in the rooms and is very clean. It's also perfectly situated by a lagoon if you want to kitesurf.
After speaking to the manager he is working on improving the food and service levels as some staff were slow due to a lack of English and experience. Don't let this put you off as changes were being...

The staff were really friendly, amazing food and really gorgeous place. They took us on a wildlife tour where we saw otters and loris all on their grounds!
There is not much in the local area so you need to keep this in mind if planning to visit a shop or restaurant during your stay, it’s not really possible

Pleasant simple SriLankan accommodation.
Family friendly and welcoming. Pancakes for breakfast were tasty. Room was simple and clean. Bathroom and toilet were basic.
Reflecting price range this was good value for money. Very rural. Local fishing area with boats being pulled up on beach in front of accommodation

The staff was amazing and made us feel so welcome during our two nights at Kay Jay wild. There is an entrance to wilpattu national park only 5 minutes drive away. The area where Kay jay wild is is just so beautiful

If you're concerned about cleanliness, holiday rentals can offer a sense of seclusion away from shared hotel lifts and busy concierge desks while still allowing you the enjoyment of travel. You'll also find more space in a holiday rental than in a traditional hotel, which makes a holiday rental an attractive choice for small groups.
