De Perla Resort

De Perla Resort

📍 WR4R+MRH, Ampara
★★★ 10 (1 reviews)

"Myself and my partner had the best stay at De Pearla resort. Farah the host was the best. He cooked us the most amazing meals, helped us with anything we needed assistance with and made our trip so special. He even showed us how to cook biriyani! My girlfriend became ill with a fever on one of the days and Farah went above and beyond to make sure that we were all ok and looked after. It really felt like we became part of the family. His son was also very helpful and kind to us. De Perla is a tranquil slice of Paradise that felt like a home away from home. It was always so amazing to come back to after a long day surfing and the craziness of Arugam Bay. We hope that we come back here again one day. Thank you Farah. We hope we meet again!"

★★★ 8.4 (1 reviews)

"Unfortunately, our stay was quite disappointing. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception, and we had to call the hotel to begin the check-in process. A few staff members arrived later, but the initial lack of assistance left a poor first impression. The Wi-Fi was extremely poor and barely connected throughout our stay. The restaurant was completely closed, so we had to go outside the property whenever we wanted food. There were also no clear instructions about the hotel's policies or amenities. Because of this, we were unexpectedly charged for water bottles we requested to our room, even though the hotel provides 1 liter of complimentary water per room per day. Better communication would have avoided this confusion. The biggest disappointment was the swimming pool. It was dirty, had a strong unpleasant smell, with visible algae and mosquitoes around it. After getting into the pool, I developed a skin rash, which was very concerning. The property itself has a lot of potential and looks beautiful, but it is clearly not being maintained well. With better maintenance, clearer communication, and improved guest services, it could offer a much better experience."

★★★★ 9.2 (6 reviews)

"Had a great and very relaxing week here. The cabanas are comfortable and stylish, all with great sea views. The beach is stunning and empty. Niaz and his team were very attentive and did everything to make us feel welcome. The grounds are constantly maintained and kept immaculate. The small restaurant served up great food, and always with a smile. Special mention to Rinos the chef and Bari here for their good service and friendly manner, the same goes for the rest of the staff. This is a place to come and relax, away from the hustle and bustle of Arugam Bay. Highly recommended. "

On my first evening the rain was so heavy that the restaurant was flooded so the staff brought food to your room."

"We stayed for 2 nights and were lucky enough to get the best room in the house which is upstairs with sweeping ocean views. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It felt like home. The attentive nature of the staff was amazing, especially Hasaf who looked after us very well. We loved the Sri Lankan meals for both breakfast and dinner. They happily arranged complimentary transport to and from Arugam Bay. We found our stay very relaxing and would recommend to anyone looking for a smaller hotel with excellent service."

"4 of us had a great time at this hotel on a 2 nights stay. Food was great and we have to thank the very friendly chef on that. The manager Mr. Priyantha Jayasooria and his assistant Mr. Anil were very caring and helpful. The F&B manager Mr. Salinga Herath did a great job at the restaurant with his staff where we had all our meals. We could also hire a Safari Jeep with guide/driver Mr. Shantha through the hotel and had a very nice and safe tour of the Kumana national park. This hotel is a seafront hotel and the rooms are spacious and very comfortable with overall excellent service and friendly staff. Highly recommended. By Lucky Jayaratne"

Wild Edge Panama - Kumana Safari Lodge ★★
"Our stay at Wild Edge was, in one word, fantastic. The service was excellent, and the team led by Samitha and Kanishka did everything in their power to make our stay a good one. The rooms were extremely clean and well thought out, the Sri Lankan meals were delicious, and driver/guide Sanju ensured we had a wonderful safari experience. If you are hoping to visit Kumana National Park, and you're looking for an affordable, clean, and comfortable place to stay, look no further than Wild Edge."

Traveling with friends
Paper Moon Kudils ★★★
"We looked forward to staying at Paper Moon. Our driver followed a sign to this hotel but travelling further saw a sign with 2 arrows pointing in opposite directions. Finally get to a gate with the Paper Moon board but no signs to reception. We called the contact number and were told we had to keep going down the driveway. Quite a few guys came running out and then disappeared. Nobody actually welcomed us and told us where we had to go. We eventually came to an open cafe area and quite a few guys just stood around not actually saying anything. No reception as such but the guy at the bar told us we were in the right place. We were given a welcome drink and they took our passports for check in but still didn’t tell us we had checked in. The rooms are individual units. Very simple but ok. The door doesn’t quite reach the ground which left me a bit nervous about creepy crawlies. The bathroom is huge but basic. No toiletries provided apart from a tiny cake of soap. The staff were mostly very friendly and helpful and provided whatever food we asked for but having all male staff just hanging around all the time was quite intimidating. Staff should probably also not hover around the tables as often and leave guests to enjoy their meals. The place is also the local bar so locals are constantly at the bar window for their alcohol. That also left us feeling a bit unsafe as there was a drunken fight one night. There’s nothing around this hotel so it would have to be on a full board basis. Luckily we had a car and driver and were able to check out local cafes. The place was clean. Probably not ideal for solo or young ladies travelling alone."

Blue Waters ★★★★
"Absolutely stunning, private, peaceful and relaxing. Our whole stay at Blue Water was perfect, the cabanas are cute, clean and spacious for couples. We couldn’t fault anything. We stayed for my 40th birthday and the team decorated our room, what a lovely surprise on entry. Although there is no air conditioning, the fans in the room are sufficient and the cabanas are designed well with openings for a breeze. Rinos is amazing, he was so attentive and looked after all of our needs. He’s really friendly, a pleasure to meet and an excellent chef. Sudha and Dinosan are both phenomenal, they make sure the whole area around the cabanas are pristine, they take so much pride and leave patterns in the sand for guests. There is a good variety of food, the fresh juices are so tasty. We had breakfast and dinner most days and Rinos catered for our tastes. The beach is private and only a few steps away, most days we were the only ones there, it is paradise. At night we fell asleep to the sound of the waves. Thank you Blue Water you made our stay unforgettable."

Jetwing Kottukal Beach House ★★★★★
"A simply beautiful place, totally tranquil with the sound of crashing waves!! Excellent accommodation and a service level that could not be beaten, the team could not do more to help and everything is done with a smile and a greeting. A walk along the beach is particularly amazing, saw no one and ours were the first footsteps Absolutely amazing sunrise from the room, didn’t even have together up, although how could you not greet that!!"

"The hotel rooms, pool and garden are AMAZING! Possibility of bungalows with small private pool. Friendly and helpful staff! The restaurant is the only negative thing: the staff is very kind, but the food is mediocre and very expensive. Very positive experience anyway!"
