"We enjoyed our stay at Kay Jay Palms. The rooms were spacious and very clean. A/C and fan combo kept the rooms cool in the day and night.
We had breakfast and dinners there. The portion sizes were much more than we could finish.
It is 5 min drive from Pasikuda beach which was very convenient for beach days in the morning and the ability to change before other activities in the afternoon.
Overall a great experience. "

"I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Absolutely fantastic. Asela is so helpful and even takes you in his tuk tuk into town should you require anything. The property is beautifully maintained. I recommend that you take advantage of the magnificent tradition Sri Lankan home cooked dinner. It was delicious and and so cheap and we did that twice."

"Offers a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Located outside of town (will need to take a Tuk Tuk) but a great location for peace and quiet. Breakfast is very good/filling and dinner offers a nice selection of food which was very good. Highly recommend."

"Séjour en famille magnifique! La cabane était accueillante, propre et parfaitement aménagée pour notre confort. L’emplacement dans la jungle était un gros plus, les sentiers sont élégamment illuminés la nuit et on peut y observer la faune locale. Calao, écureuil géant, lézard, et autres oiseaux.
Les repas étaient délicieux et l’organisation proposée répondait parfaitement à nos besoins: services tuk tuk / jeep - safari Merci beaucoup!"

"The standout from this place was the pool. Easily the best to date in Lanka. It runs directly East to West so has the sun permanently on it, making it lovely and warm. It also appears in very good nick so I would guess is relatively new. The room was pleasantly adequate with no complaints. The odd thing was there was no reception as such so to find someone, I discovered ‘hollering’ ended up being the best way. Location is definitely Marmite with peace, quite and seclusion giving it a glowing...

"Firstly the owner couldn't find our booking. This would be fine, but he was just unhelpful in resolving this, and came across as rude and indifferent. He kept just saying "I haven't got any money from you" or "you should call the company you booked through" (like no you should). We kept asking for the Wi-Fi so we could try to resolve this and he just stood there, then took ages to get it. Once on Wi-Fi we got in touch with hotels.com who instantly resolved the issue by calling him, then the...

"Det var ett fint ställe rent och prydligt. Väldigt tillmötesgående personal. Poolen var fin. Det finns ingen wi-fi på hotellet även om det står så på beskrivningen. Och låg otillgängligt till"

"Probably one of the best 5-star eco-friendly and intimate boutique hotels we’ve ever visited. From the warm welcome by Roberto and the entire team to the exceptional hospitality throughout our stay, every moment felt special. A special mention goes to Namal, whose attentive yet unobtrusive service perfectly embodied the genuine warmth of the staff.
The beachfront villas are spacious, beautifully designed, and blend seamlessly into the lush natural surroundings. We especially loved the outdoor shower and the thoughtfully selected scents throughout the room, which added to the sense of tranquility.
The secluded, pristine beach felt like our own private paradise. The food and beverage offerings were outstanding, from the à la carte breakfast to the excellent lunches and dinners, all complemented by impeccable service.
The spa deserves a special mention as well. The therapist was exceptionally skilled, the treatment rooms are beautifully nestled in nature, and the welcome and farewell drinks made the entire experience feel truly luxurious. It was easily one of the best spa experiences we’ve ever had.
Karpaha Sands is a rare place where luxury, sustainability, and heartfelt hospitality come together effortlessly. We left wishing we had booked a longer stay and can’t wait to return."
"Excellent hotel! Special mention to Arun at the pool, the belll boy and the reception staff who were very helpful. Right on the next beach of Sri Lanka. Highly recommende!"
"Fantastic Modern Hotel with Unbeatable Value!
The Room: Big, clean, and modern. If you book the Deluxe Ocean View, you can walk straight from your room to the beach.
Dining & Service: Friendly staff and delicious food with a great variety of Continental and Sri Lankan dishes.
Amenities: Lots to do on-site! There is a great spa (highly recommend the head massage), games room, badminton court, beach volleyball, and bike rentals.
The Beach & Activities: The water was perfectly warm in July. The immediate beach has a lot of coral, but just to the left of the property is a gorgeous, sandy beach perfect for swimming. There are also plenty of water sports nearby (jet ski, banana boats, snorkeling, diving).
The Verdict: I definitely recommend Amaya over the neighboring hotels. Great stay!"
"The staff were absolutely amazing and accommodating. My dad has Dementia and the staff made sure both he and my mum were well looked after and attended to. The beach and pool were both clean and not crowded. The food was good - particularly the local Sri Lankan dishes. And the drinks were good."
"Sudu Araliya is located on the banks of the Parakrama Samudraya. It’s extensive gardens offer a peaceful place for relaxation. There is a very nice and sturdy tree house with a couple of benches and tables. A lovely place for children to play and adults to relax. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious and clean. Staff was friendly and attentive and our requests were taken care of promptly. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet with many typical Sri Lankan foods. We only spent one night there but planning to return for a 2-3 night stay. Would definitely recommend staying there."
"Incredible helpful and friendly staff and beautiful ground. My cottage with the outdoor shower was charming. Spa facilities were not available during hours that i wanted to use them, ieri early morning and evening before and after excursion, that was sad. No pool towels also a minus. Dinner menu was expensive but nothing was very good. Breakfast however was delicious! Sri lankan menù was bevande expectation. I enjoyed my stay very much."
