Pensions in Eastern Province

"What a delightful stay at Karpaha Sands on the East coast of Sri Lanka . The beautiful beachfront property, great staff and fabulous food all made for a great experience. The staff here have smiles galore and are very helpful and obliging. The small touches like cookies and chocolate brought to your room in the evening, the complimentary fruit juices brought to your beach lounge, home made jams at breakfast , small taster pre dinner are lovely extras. A glitch on check in had us changing rooms and a bit disappointing start as we had rooms booked for a birthday celebration. An upgrade was offered but did not eventuate. The facilities are designed to really appreciate the sea views and breeze -pool is fabulous. Our favourite slingshot guy kept the pesky crows away. We had a lovely time with our family and friends from Australia. East coast of Sri Lanka is our favourite..Kalkudah did not disappoint. A little slice of paradise "

"Friendly staff, manager Janaka was very helpful. large property, large clean rooms, behind the hotel is the ocean, large/ clean pool. Inside is safe. Only down side was hotel not offering meals, other than breakfast. With small kids, it’s hard to look around. If I visit the area again, I would stay at this hotel again. Because of the food, I give a little low rating. "

"We had an excellent family time "

"Great location by the ocean. And the pool ain’t either. Best access to Pidgeon Island. Staff was really helpful and food was good. "

"Beautiful property with friendly and helpful staff. The food is delicious with options for all visitors. Gym had good equipment and the pool and grounds are lovely. My only suggestion would be to have an iron in all rooms it would have been helpful with my wrinkled dresses."

"Lovely staff, nice and quiet within easy tuk tuk ride to Arugam Bay"

"Beach Access - Liked the most Uniform water temperature in the Shower - To be improved"

"Excellent property on the beach front at Nilaveli with private access to beach. Individual apartments which can be rented for stay. Has a functional kitchen if you wish to cook your own food. "

"The staff was very friendly and the yoga session conducted for us in the morning is very good. The yoga instructor makes a real effort to help us learn yoga. Food was nice and the rooms were clean. Overall, it is a great place to relax and spend a weekend. I would definitely return to this hotel again. "
