Valampuri Kite Resort

Nous y étions en famille avec nos deux filles de 5 et 8 ans. Nous avions un logement avec une salle de bain extérieure sans eau chaude (nous le savions en réservant). Avec la chaleur cela ne pose pas de problème. Le resort est composé de multiples logements agencés au milieu de palmiers, fleurs ... Nous y avons vu nos plus beaux coucher de soleil au Sri Lanka. La piscine est également exceptionnelle.

Certaines structures extérieures (ponton) mériteraient un petit coup de neuf

Its location and ambience

We had a precarious situation in the hotel with the now 'ex-manager' but the owner stepped in immediately and fired the guy. In total the hotel is amazing. They have amazing food and very nice rooms. If you need a thick matrass you need to book the best room tho ;) but this is just complaining on a high level. The resort is super clean, everybody is friendly and doing a great job. I really have to say the owner , Reno has the heart on the right spot and did what he could to make us feel better, after the ex manager was being the bottom of human society, he fired him and talked to the right people to find out the truth, he believed our story from the beginning and made sure the guy doesn't get a job in this area.

We loved our stay at Valampuri. The pool was great with an aweosme view to the lagoon. The property itself a treat to the eyes. Akash was super helpful and he was always there for our needs. We had the best Sri Lankan breakfast, it was super delicious.

Restaurant food is a bit unsatisfactoy, the soup portions were not enough for the price.

C'est dans un beau site

Nous n'avons pas eu de chance car il y avait personne comme touriste donc c'était un peu isolé

Beautifully located in a green garden just by the lake with great sunsets. Nice pool. Very clean place. Nice and friendly staff. I stayed at the deluxe villa which was very comfortable, had a very clean mosquito net, Aircon and hot water. I didn't do any kitesurfing lessons but could join on the boat to explore the kitesurfing point. There is a nice place to do yoga and workout also. The food at the restaurant was tasty. Great value for money overall.

The location is a bit off so I wouldn't recommend it to solo travellers who want to explore and have no means of transport. Although it's not a resort, it's discouraged to consume at other places and also because of the location you are somehow obliged to eat at their restaurant. There are no mosquito nets at the windows and the place is extremely full of mosquitos, so that if you dont the mosquitos to attack your room you get no natural light inside the room because you can't open the windows. The place is a bit outdated but the manager Akash is doing his best to accommodate the personal needs of every guest, which makes the negative aspects to be tolerated. There was no espresso coffee during my stay because the machine was broken and no way to get proper coffee anywhere near, which was a killer for me. The bicycles are in bad condition and cannot be used. There is a lot of room for improvement. However I had overall a great experience, the place is serene (not a beach place- watchout if it's what you are looking for) , you can relax and unwind, it's beautiful and the value for money is still great, thus my good rating.

Het resort en de manager Akash, die regelde alles. Hele goede manager!

Niet echt iets. Alleen misschien een vloertrekker voor de badkamer

A great place to spend time. Excellent service, good food, clean room, and a comfortable bed. For kitesurfing enthusiasts, there's a great instructor and brand-new Duotone kites for rent. I also recommend taking a tour to a distant kite spot with a downwind return. It's inexpensive, but it's the best place for kiting. Staying at the hotel feels like being part of a big family. Aakash and guys thank you for wonderful time ☺️

No hot water in rooms.
