Top Puliyanthivu Hotel Reviews

Karpaha Sands

Karpaha Sands

10/10 Excellent
"Probably one of the best 5-star eco-friendly and intimate boutique hotels we’ve ever visited. From the warm welcome by Roberto and the entire team to the exceptional hospitality throughout our stay, every moment felt special. A special mention goes to Namal, whose attentive yet unobtrusive service perfectly embodied the genuine warmth of the staff. The beachfront villas are spacious, beautifully designed, and blend seamlessly into the lush natural surroundings. We especially loved the outdoor shower and the thoughtfully selected scents throughout the room, which added to the sense of tranquility. The secluded, pristine beach felt like our own private paradise. The food and beverage offerings were outstanding, from the à la carte breakfast to the excellent lunches and dinners, all complemented by impeccable service. The spa deserves a special mention as well. The therapist was exceptionally skilled, the treatment rooms are beautifully nestled in nature, and the welcome and farewell drinks made the entire experience feel truly luxurious. It was easily one of the best spa experiences we’ve ever had. Karpaha Sands is a rare place where luxury, sustainability, and heartfelt hospitality come together effortlessly. We left wishing we had booked a longer stay and can’t wait to return."

8/10 Good
"​Fantastic Modern Hotel with Unbeatable Value! ​The Room: Big, clean, and modern. If you book the Deluxe Ocean View, you can walk straight from your room to the beach. ​Dining & Service: Friendly staff and delicious food with a great variety of Continental and Sri Lankan dishes. ​Amenities: Lots to do on-site! There is a great spa (highly recommend the head massage), games room, badminton court, beach volleyball, and bike rentals. ​The Beach & Activities: The water was perfectly warm in July. The immediate beach has a lot of coral, but just to the left of the property is a gorgeous, sandy beach perfect for swimming. There are also plenty of water sports nearby (jet ski, banana boats, snorkeling, diving). ​The Verdict: I definitely recommend Amaya over the neighboring hotels. Great stay!"

"We had a good stay at Riviera, good location, away from the busy roads, very good for walking, particularly in the nearby beach. The room was fine, good outside veranda, bed and towels good. The restaurant was excellent, very good, probably the best restaurant in the area. Food is made to order, fresh and of a very high standard, wide and varied choice.
