The room was very clean, confortable, big. The hot , big shower was very nice. It was probably one of the nicest place we stayed at. The hospitality of the host was amazing, we have a really tasty sri lankan buffet dinner. It is closed to a nice lake you can easily walk to. They organized the Wilpattu safari for us.

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

Montresor

Getting to Ceylon Wilpattu safaris & lodging feels like entering the forest: the road is a bit narrow and bumpy, but when you get to the entrance you discover a very well-kept garden and very pleasant facilities. The warm welcome from Roshan, his wife and the staff was truly pleasant: they supported our requests promptly and kindly. We had dinner at the property, hosted in a cool veranda. The food had been adapted to Western tastes but always maintaining the typical flavors of Sri Lankan cuisine: excellent dinner. Breakfast was also rich and pleasant. The rooms are in bungalows in which rest is ensured by spotty clean and reasonably spacious rooms, immersed in a very quiet and pleasant place. Complimentary water bottles are also available in the fridge in the room. This property is highly recommended.

This was our final destination of this 21-day tour to Sri Lanka - We stayed 4 nights/5days. We were offered a room with the view of the lagoon and it was very closer to the restaurant, bar, and reception and not far away from the pool and other recreational activity places. Accommodation: This villa-type room is spacious and more convenient with lots of cupboards and drawers to keep your luggage. The room service was very good. The laundry facility and the staff are excellent. Some names of the staff who were very good for guests; Dalakshan, Pradeep, This is a resort with ample of recreational activities to enjoy for the guests. Swimming pool, a small golf course (ground), tennis, badminton, kayaking, etc.. The hotel has its own beach club. A private beach area for the hotel guests only.

Blue Whale Resort & Kite Surfing

From US$88 per night
Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.8
Good - What previous guests thought, 110 reviews
The hotel is great, clean and spacious, located just by the kitesurfing beach so it is perfect for kitesurfers. There are beautiful trees and palm trees in the surrounding garden, big swimming pool and very kind staff. We were more than happy to stay there and regretted we couldn't stay longer. The restaurant offers very tasty food for good price. I only regret that Sri Lankan people don't support local dogs that wander in the area, scared of humans and terribly hungry. If there was a special fund to support the animals I would definitely pay more for our stay so that the dogs can get fed. Apart from that we loved our stay and we will definitely be back! The place in our opinion is better than Kitesurfing Lanka that is next door.

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.

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

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 should have stayed a few days longer in order to get to know the surroundings a bit better, maybe also take a bus or train up further north on the peninsula. It would be nice to have a bicycle there, as it is all flat and we would have been more independent to look around.

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.
