JUST AN OK HOTEL BUT COULD DO BETTER

Reviewed By bob1323

Unlike the other hotels we stopped in during our tour of Sri Lanka, this hotel was not that welcoming when we arrived - it was a luke warm reception. After the normal check in we were taken over to our rooms, but just pointed where they were. The rooms are huge, bit like a suite but unfortunately dated and grubby - stained sofas etc., (and all on our tour found the same), things not working properly, just generally a bit shabby and run down. I had a problem with my room as the air con was not working and was 30 degrees (was cooler outside with the breeze). I contacted reception who sent an engineer over and he couldn't do anything and seemed to think that given time it would be ok, but as I pointed out it had not changed in an hour. He said give me 5 mins after I said I wanted another room - after 15 I got fed up and went back to reception and saw someone else - they did get another member of staff who accompanied me back and asked for 5 mins to get the room ready - took quite a bit longer as think they had to make up the room. It was better but the air con was still not working very well and had to rely on the fan in the room - the other rooms the people on the tour said they had similar problems. Meals were fine. It looks like it was a great place at one time but is showing its age and is in need of some TLC to get it back to what it was and proper functioning air con is a must.

One of a kind!

Reviewed By celini_lanz

You feel so connected with nature here. On some mornings when I opened the doors of our bungalow, there was a donkey family right nearby our lounge deck and I would just sit there for a moment and watch them peacefully graze. The resorts location right next to a lagoon and the open sea is one of a kind and with all that space around your bungalow you can enjoy a lot of calm and privacy. And if you’re looking for some action, there is so much to see and do within or around the elements premises in addition to kitesurfing: an ox carriage ride to the nearby village, horseback riding on the beach or the dolphin watching tour, where my husband and son got to see schools of spinner dolphins jumping out of the water. The friendly and charming staff is from the surrounding villages and their good team spirit was noticeable to us every day. And the food! The chefs really went above and beyond with their creations, every breakfast and dinner felt like a surprise. It was always local and fresh and always wonderfully tasty. And one morning even with a twist from the oven: freshly baked chocolate croissants! There is so much heart put into this wonderful place, it really feels like home away from home!

Great spot at Kudawa Beach

Reviewed By Soussane A

This resort is great and the people were always super nice, helpful and friendly. I can highly recommend it. Ask for Taru - he is fun and a great Kiter! We stayed at red coral Kite resort next to the kitesurf center. In 3 minutes walking distance you can also find a dive center if you are up for it. Sri Lanka has been surprisingly honest and friendly it's highly recommended and I will definitely come back!

Amazing beach retreat

Reviewed By Louise S

we stayed for two nights ,this was the first place we stayed on our two week tour of Sri Lanka. The tented bungalows are brilliant, equipped with efficient air-con and fabulous outdoor bathrooms. The food was amazing and really was some of the best we had on our whole trip. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we enjoyed chatting to the chef about his food. We did the dolphin trip and saw about 50 dolphins and the kids enjoyed the donut ride. The pool area was clean and plenty of fresh towels were provided. We enjoyed the covered seating areas, watching the sunsets with great cocktails! We all had massages with Lilli which were amazing and very reasonable. We will certainly return and would highly recommend a visit.

Amazing 2 weeks!

Reviewed By bbbvoyages

I planned to spend one week here, but ended up staying for two. The atmosphere is great and the staff is so friendly. The pool is a really nice feature and there are always the most incredible sunsets. There are lots of great birds here that can be spotted from inside the resort and also from kayaking around the lagoon. The food here is also sooo good (especially if you love seafood/ want traditional Sri Lankan food)! I highly recommend staying here next time you are in Sri Lanka :)

Best place to go in Sri Lanka

Reviewed By N3587ZBmiriamc

No words can describe this place properly. But I try it anyway. For us it was the best experience in whole Sri Lanka! My friend and I stayed there for 5 Days. Here you can have everything. Total relaxation just on the site (because there literally is everything you need, and if not they get it for you ;-)) or a lot of different tours which you can book with the hosts and go either by boat directly from the Jetty or by tuktuk directly from the property. There are tours to go through the mangroves by boat, a tour to watch dolphins (we've seen like hundreds), a tour to go to Wilpattu Nationalpark to do a safari, a beach tour, a Massage, Yoga on the property and so on... You really don't need to think about anything and you don't need to plan anything. Actually we had no plans when we came here and no idea what to do there but they got everything planned perfectly you just need to choose what you want to do one day ahead. Everything really was so comfortable we felt even better than at home. The rooms were perfectly clean and the interior nicely decorated. I loved the shower the most, cause you can look at the stars while showering <3. The hosts try to avoid garbage and especially plastics which made me very happy because I try to avoid plastics in my life too. And on top of all is the outstanding kitchen. The food there is amazing! We had the Sri Lankan dinner every day and it was something totally different each evening. So we could learn a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine. And if you like to drink a cocktail or something else, just ask for it they try to make it work. This place literally is Paradise! I can totally recommend it if you are looking for some quiet days or especially for honeymoon. You might think the prices are higher than at other places, but let you be told it is definitely worth it. You get much more than what you are paying for! This hospitality and kindness of the staff, the deep relaxation you get there and just the whole experience there in the middle of nowhere between the mangroves is a experience worth more than you can buy with money. I really hope to come back someday. Wish you all the best!

Blue Whale Resort Kalpitiya

"Stay with us, Feel like home". First ever luxury boutique hotel in Kalpitiya. We are facing the beach directly (indian ocean) which is very popular for dolphin watching & whale watching. Kite surfing is one of the popular water sports in Kalpitiya. We are very close to the kite surfing lagoon. Our rooms are luxury, spacious and comfortable. Large pool is a benefit.

Amazing place for a holiday with family

Reviewed By damith80

During the entire trip, we had our transport arranged by the hotel for a very reasonable price. The driver was also very dedicated and helpful. Food was also great and had a great range. We stayed there for 4 nights and all staff were willingly assisted us with food orders during odd times as well. We visited Vilpattu for Safari and it was worth watching. Transport was also arranged by the hotel. Our sincere thanks goes to Mr Sumith who is the GM of the hotel as he attended to our requests and other guests too, around the clock. However, i would like to comment on the power inturruption we faced two days during late night due to fuel crisis in Sri lanka. It would be great, if management could find a solution to this issue in order to make the guests stay an unforgettable one. I remember, many guests were complaining on the issues as it was inconvenient specially the ones had kids. Despite of this issue , all other services were amazing, cabanas are very clean and well maintained. One day , we had our bathroom door locked around 1 am during the power cut , GM and the staff were so kind enough to fix the issue at the same time. Overall, service offered was excellent .
