Our Stay at the Resort
Reviewed By Nick_PereraOur stay at the resort during 7/8 May was ok; on a scale of 1 - 10, I'd only give 4 unfortunately. The staff was really good and very courteous especially Nelum at the reception; however there was a guy named Gayan (not quite sure of the name though); he appeared very pressured at the reception; may due to the amount of guests he had to handle, heat etc. Our rooms were not well maintained at all; I think they were abandoned rooms. This is not a reflection on the cleaning staff at all. These rooms 116, 117, 118 and 119; should be fully renovated please!!! Oh the pool was well maintained and thank you for that. Good value for money was not provided at all :(

Relaxing and calming
Reviewed By 84kalaniaI was there for one night as I was traveling to Sri Lanka and had to quarantine. Staff was extremely friendly. Service was wonderful. The place itself was calm and soothing and beautiful. Amal was one of the staff members I was in touch with before I land in Sri Lanka and he helped me a lot planning my stay. It was my first time going to Karunakarala resort and I wasn't sure what to expect. I was happy that I made the right choice selecting my stay. Yuka was one of the other staff members and she was very helpful and always had a smile on her face. They gave me one of the cottage and it was really nice. Big enough and nicely cleaned. Overall I was happy with their services and my stay there.

Do yourself a favor and avoid this place
Reviewed By Christian SWe came to this place because we were exploring the area by scooters and the owner asked showed us this place. It is a nice, cute house 3min walk from the beach shore. Everything looked fine and we agreed to stay there for 4 nights. He quoted us immediately only 40% of the online price he charges through booking.com. They also made us Sri Lankan breakfast every morning, which was quite tasty. The rooms are quite nice and tidy but as it is in many places in Sri Lanka the bathrooms were sloppily cleaned, which wasnt a big problem for us in general and we cleaned it ourselves a little better. There is no WIFI in the house at all and there is no kitchen utensils, only a refrigerator, which was fine with us and we knew before commiting our stay. On the second day we had a little misunderstanding, which eventually leads to my conclusion that you should avoid this place by all means. As we wanted to eat a seafood platter, we wanted to go to the fish market with the owner as to choose our own fish and seafood. As he told us that he wont have time to go to the fish market, we asked him if it would be ok, if we go ourselves and he will prepare the fish for us then. He agreed to do this for a reasonable price and we were very happy with this arrangement. We asked what would all be included and it was the cooking and some side dish like rice. So we bought the fish and brought it to him the next day and asked if we could get rice as a side dish. As we discussed before, first it was no problem. However, 10 minutes later he wanted to charge us extra for the rice, which was odd and I asked him about it. Unfortunately, the asking eventually resulted in him shouting at me, which should have been red flag for us. Eventually it all settled down and he cooked a wonderful seafood platter for us. However, he stole some tuna steaks from us and the calamari and shrimps we bought were also a lot less, what we initially bought. From that on though, he never acknowledged me anymore and avoided to even come close when I was around. However, he was very nice to my parents, which weren't there at the time when he shouted at me. One day later, we rented a scooter from him. Unfortunately, we had a little accident with the scooter and scratched it a little on the side. Instead of asking us if we were alright, he got angry immediately and drove the scooter to a mechanic. He came back, told us an amount which was double what another mechanic had already quoted us and when we asked him if he could give us a receipt and the rental agreement for our insurance in Germany, he completely started to lose it. He started to yell at me, insult me and worst of all threatened me that something may happen to me. I do not understand to this day what triggered this or what he thought we said. As we had booked another night, we obviously did not want to stay there any longer. Therefore we packed our bags, paid the damages to the scooter and left as fast as we could. Do yourself a favour and do not let this kind of experience ruin your holiday. tl,dr owner is aggressive and completely unprofessional.
