Ocean View Beach Resort - Kalpitiya

This is the first time I visited Kalpitiya although it isn't that far from Kuliyapitiya, my home town. So I was both excited and a little apprehensive about it. I was excited because it's a new destination. My apprehension was about whether the place would be worth a visit and whether Ocean View Beach Resort was the right pick. No sooner had I stepped in than my apprehension evaporated like dew in the sunshine. The staff made me feel welcome and put me at ease. Even before taking a shower, I stepped outside and strolled over to the beach some 50 metres away. A little later, I walked all the way to the kitesurfing point on the lagoon past the Mangrove conservation project and across the famed Sand Route. To cut a long story short, Kalpitiya simply enthralled me. Talking about the hotel, food was delicious and worth the price. The beach was just over the hotel compound and visible from outside the room. The staff was friendly, courteous and exhibited professionalism in serving both me and other guests there. It was a wonderful stay there and I would definitely recommend this hotel to any traveller, local or overseas who wishes to explore the beaches of Kudawa, Kandakkuliya and Kalpitiya

Location was beautiful. Staff and owner and family were kind and helpful. Our dolphin trip was totally amazing. Do not miss the chance of a doing a dolphin boat trip if you get it ...not to be missed . Food was very tasty. Always cold beer available and the wi fi was surprisingly strong and we had an air conditioner which worked well. If it's important to you make sure you book air conditioner rooms.

Absolutely​ adorable little cottages directly on the beach. Simple but very comfortable. I loved hearing the ocean day and night. Large  breakfasts and I loved the fried fish for dinner. Dedicated and attentive staff whether I wanted tea or I needed information or transportation. They have kitesurfing lessons and rent gear as well as arrange for Safaris and other excursions which was hugely convenient. They went above and beyond to make sure I had eveverything I needed. I loved it so much I even stated well quite a few extra days.

The location is very good literally on the beach. Highlight was falling asleep listening to the crashing waves on the beachfront 20meters from the Cabana. Although the rooms are very basic,the beds are very comfortable and we slept very well there. The wifi was very good 👍 Sugath is an excellent host, arranged Lagoon trip with his brother and Wilpatu safari trip for us. He was very obliging and like a friend by the time we were leaving his property. The other staff were always smiling and friendly, making sure we were fed & when we wanted to To eat. Thank you to you all, we really enjoyed our stay in kalpitiya and hope to be back next year. Kindest regards, Aoife and Mario ❤️
