We loved everything: the rooms were large and with beautiful design, everything super clean; very confortable bed. At one point we were the only guests (our group) since it is a small resort.
The pool is amazing, food was perfect. It s best to preorder, so you don t wait. Try Tomato and Orange soup, my favorite, also shrimps, pasta, lamb.. they have a very good Chef.
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
The nearby Balapytia beach was so beautiful, we saw a wonderful sunset from the rocks.
It was splendid to relax here after visiting the island. It was one if the 2 best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka.

Fabulous beach hotel. The staff were attentive and always happy to cater to our needs. The room was clean, comfortable and perfect view. The food was delicious and flavourful. The grounds are neatly kept. During our stay, there were many other couples enjoying their stay, in a comfortable quiet and relaxing atmosphere. No kids to be seen which made it even more wonderful to unwind. We will be back.

The whole hotel is gorgeous. The beach is perfect for swimming, very clean with gorgeous views and is so private (not packed with hundreds of other tourists). You can walk to the rocks on the corner for great snorkeling and to explore the huge other beach on the other side. In the evening (5pm) all the local fishermen turn up to take their boats out as the sun sets and its like a free show every day as the boats are beautiful and the locals are all very friendly. The rooms are all huge with private garden seating areas with overhead fans and your own coffee machine. The food and drinks were all very reasonably priced and often enjoyed having a beer brought to me on the beach as the sun set. The staff were all so lovely and friendly and attentive, even showing me monkeys that had come to visit the hotel one day. Loads of wildlife to see at the hotel to keep you entertained and the food was all delicious. Took a tuk tuk from the hotel one day down to Hikkaduwa Turtle Beach to go Scuba Diving (about 20-30 mins drive with great views along the way). The busy beach there made me grateful to return to the hotels quiet one. A private piece of paradise

Felt at home straight away. Dinitha, the manager, couldn’t have been more accommodating. The food, cooked by Neel, was wonderful, fresh and tasty. Nothing was too much trouble. The pool was nice and only a short walk to a beautiful beach. Some of the neighbours were a little annoying for a solo traveller but I felt very safe and cared for by Dinitha and Kevin.

The location of the property was perfect, just set back from an uncrowded beach at the edge of the non touristy town of Balapityia. I stayed in the garden bungalow which had had a recent addition of a veranda , making a perfect shady spot to chill and read. The staff made the ‘property ‘ though. All so caring . I was ill whilst there and they took me to the Doctors and then cooked food that I was able to eat and checked on me through the days - I was so well looked after.

The staff were very welcoming and efficient. Leonard, the manager was very kind and helpful. Suzan made us some lovely meals and Patmos was friendly. All friendly. The room was very spacious, maybe too spacious, we didn’t need all that room for two! The view was amazing and we were able to walk along the beach on one day.
Great beach, we felt like Robinson Crusoe on the beach,...
Great beach, we felt like Robinson Crusoe on the beach, almost just the 2 of us. Visiting Mahdu Lake at 6 a.m. watching the sun goes up. A natural paradise with a lot of birds and other animals. Listening to their different noises. Dining at the Mangrove Cave Restaurant we enjoyed freshest seafood. It was just very tasty.
Everything! From the very beginning - the reception area, the hotels territory look amazing, all green and natural, clean and comfortable at the same time. The staff is performing at its best - always ready to help, providing information and making sure my stay is comfortable. The room meets all the requirements, clean, all is working properly, the furniture is very good and of course the view. And kayaking is just an awesome activity, I saw true Sri Lankan life while kayaking on the Madu Ganga river.
Pool and beach amazing. It felt like we had the beach and pool basically to ourselves with our toddler. Brilliantly family friendly and kind staff. Good food and lovely breakfast. Arranged great boat safari for us picked up straight from beach in front of hotel. Calm sea which was great for swimming, even with our toddler! very comfy bed too and beautiful cot provided.
Also v quick to sort out our change in dates due to flight delay and price confusion too which was really appreciated.
Everything. It was the best experience we could imagine. A very beautifully furnished villa with a stunning view to wake up to every morning, a paradise of privacy with an empty amazing beach next to you, what could be better?
We really enjoyed the wonderful meals for breakfast, lunch and especially dinner each day. Sri Lankan food dinners experience was unforgettable! Don’t hesitate to ask for anything you want and you will get much more that exceed your expectations!
This hotel is heavenly. It is right on the most perfect beach and surrounded by trees and the occasional wild life.
The rooms are large, luxurious and have large private gardens.
The staff are well trained with the aim of providing a perfect holiday experience.
This was the last of six hotels that we stayed at across Sri Lanka and was by far the best.
The chef produced exceptional dishes and reasonably priced.
We felt very cared for at Sundara. Thank you.
Villa Carla is a gem. The hotel is right in front of the beach and has only a few rooms, each It’s beautifully decorated by the owners. The staff is great, always super helpful and very discreet.
The beach in front of the hotel is one of the best we’ve seen in Sri Lanka! We only stayed at Villa Carla for three days. This is a place where to spend and relax for at least a week!
We hope to
Come back soon!
A bit of a hidden gem between Galle and Colombo. Quiet hotel with a beautiful garden of mature trees next to a very wild beach. The family are very welcoming and make an excellent rice and curry. There's a very interesting boat tour they can organise for you plus a few beach restaurants further down the shoreline. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone wanting a bit of peace and relaxation.
Kalapuwa resort is that place what offers you a quiet and relaxing way to enjoy your holiday. The owner Givana is very helpful and friendly, plus great person to talk to about everything. They offer delicious food and if you want you don’t need to leave even from the hotel to enjoy calmness and your holiday. The owner has a horse (pony) named Flika who gives the spirit to Kalapuwa resort.
Excellent secluded paradise! Small place (8 rooms only), empty beach with no neighbors - just the Sun, Sea and relax. Great hospitality of Hassan and the Team. Food and cocktails are good (add $50-60 per 2 persons per day).
We stayed in Garden Villa - and it was good choice as it has own small garden.
Transfer to/from Colombo airport is 2 hours ($125 each way) and very comfortable.
From check-in to check-out this property excelled as far as level of service expected from a boutique hotel! The quality of the food and beverage were terrific (albeit marginally limited). The infinity pool, beach, and sunsets a constant reminder of the chances to relax on offer not just at the property but also in the nation of Sri Lanka.
The staff was very friendly and helpful!! Room was clean and comfortable with AC, swimming pool fantastic, bfast delicious, they even cooked a dinner for us! 200m to the beautiful beach, center of Balapitiya is in 10min walk distance, full of food options and shops.. definitely worth to visit ! We highly recommend this place :)
It was one of the most unique experiences of our stay in Sri Lanka ,the quality of the food was excellent and the hotel and restaurant staff were very professional and polite, we experienced a beautiful sunrise.
It was a whole new experience and it is definitely recommended.
The staff was truly a highlight to my trip, the amount of kindness and hospitality was above the chart, very smooth process and professional attitude, the lady and owner of the hotel were available all the time. Rooms are big and modern, service is available all the time.
Location was right on the beach - beautiful views to the ocean and the pool from almost all the rooms. The restaurant setting is gorgeous and the food was absolutely delicious. Service was impeccable and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate all requests.
It's a dream come true. Rooms are huge and nicely decorated, the staff is very kind and attentive, food is excellent, the beach is lovely and feels very intimate and they have a sweet hotel dog.
We didn't want to leave and want to go back as soon as possible.
The villa is beautiful, situated along a stunning beach in Balapitiya. The area is quiet but there are a few restaurants nearby and it is a short tuk tuk ride to Hikkaduwa. The staff at the villa were excellent and extremely accommodating and welcoming.
Loved the location of the hotel..right by the river with the most amazing view! We had a fantastic meal in the restaurant. Best chicken and prawn curries. We took the riverboat cruise which was fantastic! We were only there one night. Would return.
Arrived on our honeymoon and the hotel staff were so generous that they had arranged a special setup. Thanks for making our stay a special one. One of the best beaches you will find anywhere in the world. Will definitely return.
Everything was perfect. Rooms are very spacious and the whole hotel is thoughtfully designed. Great hospitality. Delicious meals. Very scenic and serene environment.
