Valampuri Kite Resort

Superbe environnement, la piscine et le jardin sont top, salle de bain en extérieur, aller sur le spot de Kite en bateau avec une équipe au top - Chaque personne de Valampuri est adorable

Je recommande de prendre des extras dans les petits déjeuner au bout d’une semaine ça peut être redondant :)

Personnel très attentionné Superbe piscine Très bon restaurant (notamment petit déjeuner top) Découverte du kitesurf dans les meilleures conditions

Valampuri Kite Resort is such a peaceful hotel in a quiet location. The staff are so friendly and will arrange anything you ask for - travel, day trips, tuk tuk rides, cooking class etc. The pool and restaurant are beautifully presented and are tranquil and relaxing. The food and drink is very tasty and reasonably priced. Great place to stay for relaxation, water activities and safari to Wilpattu.

Nothing.

Schöne Anlage, Nähe zum Kite-Surfing Spot!

L'accueil et la gentillesse du personnel. Leur dévouement. Merci à Saji qui s'occupe de tout . Joli jardin autour des bungalows.

Un resort qui vieillit et qui manque d'entretien. Une propreté à améliorer. Le ponton sur le lagon n'est plus opérationnel alors qu'il apparaît partout sur les photos avec coucher de soleil

L emplacement et les repas et le personnel

Les Bungalows pas entretenus et photos pas conforme

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.

Nous avons passé les 2 premieres nuits de notre voyage au valampuri kite resort, ça a été un vrai coup de coeur pour nous. Le resort est magnifique et Akash est toujours attentif à ce que vous soyez heureux. Akash nous a loué des scooters pour visiter les alentours et nous a organisé un safari pour le matin de notre départ. Nous avons beaucoup aimé la ballade en scooter, les gens sont si souriants quand ils vous croisent! Le petit déjeuner est excellent! Le safari etait vraiment super et la traversée par la lagon fait partie de l expérience fantastique. Merci Akash de nous avoir permis de vivre tous ces merveilleux moments en famille!

L odeur d humidité dans la chambre mais tout le reste compense largement ce petit désagrément. En ouvrant en grand le soir et le matin, c était parfait!

Very peaceful vibe. The manager Akash is very, very helpful and made our stay unforgettable!

Rien

Very familiar and super service. Akash, and the others, did everything to make us feel welcome - and they succeeded! One of the nicest places we stayed at ever!

The bathroom needs a small rebuild since the basin isn’t even. That’s a minor problem and nothing that affected the functionality

Buenas instalaciones y desayuno, el personal muy amable ayudando en todo lo que necesitamos, especialmente su gerente Aakash que nos hizo el favor de imprimirnos las visas para la India

Mucho mosquito

We had wonderful time in Valampuri resort. We originally booked the place for two of us and add another person last minute. When we get there Akash show us whole resort and given us the opportunity to choose the cabin suite for us. Whole place was clean, quiet and beautifuly covered with trees. The views by the pool with sunset in the beach is amazing. Every single staff member was polite, friendly and helpful. Tasty and fresh food offered during our stay. Akash arranged all transport and all activities nicely on time. We had a wonderful experience on our dolphins trip and lagoon trip. Every one made us feel welcome and we enjoyed our stay very much. I wish I could stay there longer.

Ich kann diese Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen. Alle sind sehr bemüht und zuvorkommend. Die Anlage ist sehr schön und das Essen und Frühstück auch. akash ist immer sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit. Aber auch alle anderen sind sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Würde jederzeit wieder buchen

alles war gut

Akash and every single member of staff were extremely nice and helpful, helping us with any requests we had The kite spot is amazing and the instructor very nice Food is also very good and the place is very clean and well decorated

Akash, der Resort Manager hat sich um jede Kleinigkeit sofort gekümmert.

Alles okay.

Die Lage war super, kiten konnte man aber nicht vor den Hotel. Es gab ein kostenlosen Transfer zum kitespot mit dem Boot. Der Pool war super sauber und angenehm von der Temperatur. Das Zimmer und Bad war sauber. Wir hatten super liebe Personal die sich um jeden Wunsch bemühten. Wir würden ohne Kinder das Hotel wieder buchen. Preis Leistung war in Ordnung. Ein großes Lob an Akash, der sich für uns und unsere beiden Kinder sehr bemüht hatte. Vielen Dank dafür

Es gab viele Mücken. Die Straßenhunde hörte man über Nacht.

We had a wonderful stay with our family of five! Everything was very well organized, the staff was extremely friendly, and the food was delicious — especially the local dishes. When we arrived, there was no baby cot available, but the manager (Aakash) quickly took care of it and arranged a bed with a mosquito net the very next day. Truly excellent service! Highly recommended.

Simple and sweet had everything we needed.

Tuvimos una excelente experiencia, el servicio fue increíble, el personal es atento y encantador, nos organizaron todo y nos propusieron planes que nos encantaron e hicieron de nuestra experiencia más bonita. Nos prepararon por la noches barbacoa que estaban espectaculares! La puesta de sol desde el embarcadero es preciosa. Las instalaciones son espectaculares, las cabañas super limpias y la zona muy cuidada y bonita. Mención especial a Aakash, el manager del lugar quien nos acompañó en toda la estancia, nos ayudó en todo lo que necesitamos y nos lo pasamos genial! Super recomendable :)

Personnel aux petits soins Emplacement superbe Piscine au top Pas de problème avec la lessive contrairement aux commentaires précédents

Rien

The staff was amazing they became our friends , the place have an amazing pool and good rooms and restaraunt

We had a wonderful time at Valampuri Resort! Even though we did not go kite-surfing, we enjoyed our stay very much! The whole facility is beautiful: cozy cabins below palm trees, a spacious pool, sunset view, outdoor bathroom (which felt luxurious and adventurous at the same time!), view of the lagoon, … and the food was delicious! We tried the deviled clams, biriyani, grilled tuna and fish and everything was fresh and tasty. We appreciated that they use seasonal and regional products (therefore not everything on the menu is available … obviously! I can‘t understand how people could possibly complain about that). But especially Akash made our stay perfect! He organised a trip via boat and tuktuk to Wilpattu National Park and it was amazing! Every transport was already there and waiting for us and the whole trip was a great experience. Akash also helped us with our further travels, told us when the Dutch Fort is open for visitors and so on! He was a huge help. Therefore, we highly recommend staying here even if you do not kite! It is a very relaxing and beautiful location!

Akash es el gerente del hotel y esta pendiente de todo, te busca cualquier servicion que necesites, esta muy atento, tuvimos un problema con el aire acondicionado y nos busco enseguida otra habitación. Nos busco una moto para poder alquilarla, nos prepararon una cena romántica el último día.. una atención perfecta. El barquero que nos llevaba al Spot de kite tambien muy atento y dispuesto a ayudar

Alquilamos material para hacer Kite y el material esta en muy mal estado. Puede resultar peligroso. No hay yoga, las fotos son de fechas específicas, pero si tienen una zona qué esta bien para practicarlo y te dejan el mat.

הבריכה הייתה טובה, הצוות שלימד את הקייטסרפינג היה מקצועי וטוב.

לא היה חשמל למשך כל הלילה ולא קיבלנו אף פיצוי על זה, השימוש במזגן היה כרוך בתשלום נוסף של 3,000 רופי ליום. אומנם קיבלנו שדרוג בחדר אך גם החדר המשודרג היה עם שירותים ומקלחת מאוד בסיסיים ללא מים חמים, פתוח לאוויר ולכן נכנסו צפרדע, זיקית וכו'

Great staff, boat tour if the lagoon was a-great experience and highly recommend

Ein sehr idyllisches Anwesen mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Akash war immer freundlich, hilfsbereit und offen. Er und sein Team erfüllten uns jeden Wunsch. Wir machten mit ihm eine Bootsfahrt zu einem Kite Surfing Spot und hatten dort eine super Zeit. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

Nichts.

L’emplacement, le calme, la piscine

Wifi pas top

Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Alle Anliegen wurden unverzüglich und sehr bemüht erledigt. Wir hatten eine Familienunterkunft, die ausreichend ausgestattet war. Ausgehend von der Unterkunft sind wir mit Boot und Tuk Tuk zum Wilpattu Nationalpark, der von der Unterkunft super organisiert worden ist (einschließlich Jeep und Guide) im Park.

Klimaanlage muss extra zugebucht werden. Zugang auch durch Eichhörnchen und Frösche möglich.

Valampuri a été le lieu parfait pour notre séjour à Kalpitiya. La localisation est idéale : à seulement une dizaine de minutes en bateau du spot de kite, avec une vue imprenable sur le lagon. Mais ce qui rend l’expérience vraiment inoubliable, ce sont surtout les rencontres : Aakash (le gérant), les professeurs de kite et tout le personnel de l’hôtel ont été incroyablement accueillants et chaleureux. À peine parties, nous n’avions déjà qu’une envie : revenir !

Rien, tout était parfait

el Manager Akash fué muy amable y atendió todas nuestras peticiones, muy atento y recomendable, repetiremos.

The rooms were clean, the location was great and the food was amazing!

L’endroit est magnifique et très paisible, parfait pour se détendre ou faire du Kitsurf. L’immense piscine, le sable fin et les palmiers créent un cadre idyllique. Les chambres sont confortables. Le petit déjeuner et les kottu sont bons ! Un grand merci à Aakash pour son accueil chaleureux, il a été aux petits soins pour nous. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Well maintained clean place

Great staff especially manager, great location

The service was excellent. Aakash and his team gave us an excellent service. Overall it was good.

The staff is really nice and arranged everything for us! We went kite surfing for 2 days and could rent our stuff at the resort and got the boat ride to the kiting spot. The room was really nice with a hot shower, air conditioning and a good bed. We had a very good time at Valumpuri!

Because we were off season not every meal was available but overall the food was very good and tasty!

It was very relaxed, well organised and clean. The staff were very attentive and helpful. It was a really great place to stay.

Nothing. It was great. We really enjoyed our stay and would liked to have stayed longer. Thank you to team Valampuri!

Fantastic location- on the lagoon. The property is spread out, so very green and pretty. They organized some of the activities we participated in- lagoon tour, dolphin sighting, etc. all of which worked out very well.

The food was average, in that the authentic Srilankan fare was great, the western ones not so much. We were there for 3 days so some variety would have been nice. Also they asked for cash payment- the room, food, activities, we had to keep going out to withdraw cash. Finally their room listing on the site wasn't clear that I was taking a non-ac room. They charged more for turning on the AC in the room.

Really nice place with huge potential, but definitely not a Kitesurfing resort: don't hire equipment, are all old and very bad maintained, plus the spot is reachable only by boat and they ask 10$ each person!

Really nice place, well kept, nice pool. Aakash also went out his way to make sure we were all catered for the best we possibly could be, by doing the absolute most for us. The dolphin trip they arranged was also a one in a life time experience, which I am so grateful for.

-Good restaurant with a wide menu. -Correct breakfast where you can choose between 4 options. -Nice swimming pool

-installations maintenance. -cleaning should be better.

Very nice an big garden, spacious. Nice rooms and good breakfast.

The price of the food is expensive.

I liked the staff, beautiful location in the nature, and delicious food.

I did not like the kite surf trainer they arranged. He talked a lot in circular logic, but not worthy of my time or money. I paid for introductory learning and cancelled the rest. So, I did not accomplish the main goal of going there. Otherwise, it was a great place to learning and recreation.

Food was delicious. The pool was nice as well but the water was a little too warm. They should consider having a roof over the pool so it doesn't heat up as much. Overall it was really good. Aakash was very helpful and looked into all our needs—exceptional service by him and the rest of the staff.

The infinity pool is clean. You can see the sunset, everyday. The AC was reliable.

Small things. I spent almost 2 months here. I don’t have time to list everything, so I will list nothing.

Good location for kiting. Very cheap rooms

The food was overpriced and the rooms pretty dirty. Also the host wanted to check me out because I didn't book the kite rental with them. The kite gear was extremely run down so I rented with another school.

Friendly staff, big bungalow room and private bathroom. Beautiful location near the lagoon where you can watch the sunset. Helped me organise a dolphin watching tour.

Nothing

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. We loved the huge garden with so much variety of trees and palms. The rooms are clean and spacious, including the open air bathrooms which we really liked. The pool is pretty big and has planty of space around it to chill out. Staff was always kind and super helpful. Overall very much recommended.

This place felt almost too luxurious for the price! The people who work here were so friendly and helpful, and we really enjoyed the activities on offer.

The pool was very nice and big with a great view over the lagoon. The room had no moskitonet, but the staff arranged two nets, because we insisted on it.

There are different kind of huts but our room was dark, not comfortable and with a strong mold smell. The bathroom wasn't clean, the toilet was liking on the floor and the flush only worked sometimes. The resort is close to the lagoon, but the beach is really far away.

Staff was super friendly and rooms were clean. Calm surrounding.

Food was significantly expensive.

Beautiful sunset from the pier. Nice swimming pool.

When we were there there wasn’t much atmosphere.

Host and accommodation are great, the food is super delicious. If you come here to kite surf, Jeevan deserves a special mention for excellent teaching

Eco friendly environment and best seafood restaurant in kalpitiya

Wow, it's an amazing pool and food

Rooms are very comfortable

Excellent customer service and the food was delicious specially the cuttle fish curry. Friendly staff and Highly recommended.

Excellent rooms, friendly staff and tasty seafood

Jetty under repair, staff say work will finish in few days

I had a reservation and the hotel told me there is no availability. I arrived at 4 am and I was basically kicked out. Additionally I have not received my reimbursement from the property.

Very nice place and helpfull stuff, especially Razeeb who can arrange everything:) There are no immposible things to him:) Thank you very much for your hospitality and hopefully I will be able to come back again:)

This place is perfect to spend some time with our loved ones. Very relaxing environment with a lots of fun activities.

Some rooms are not comfortable enough.

situated in a fantastic location. Nice swimming pool and good sea food.

Breakfast was good. Achieved what was expected but combination of vegetables was very average. For example Pittu dahl curry and polsamble don't go together. The tradition is to give coconut milk or potato curry and lunumiris. There were adequate amounts of rice or string hoppers or pittu. Kolakenda was superb. Food was very tasty for Sri Lankan taste.

Combination if vegetables and quantity of vegetables could be better. Most of the time thev3rd vegetable was withheld until we asked fof it. That attitude was poor. The quantities were very small. The amont of protein was good but sometimes the staff didnt serve the full amounts of the fish or meat. We got the feeling that they kept some of it for their use.

Le cadre est idyllique mais l'hôtel se trouve loin de tout. Le personnel est adorable, dommage qu'il ne soit pas renseigné sur les prestations et qu'il soit lent. Beaucoup de prestations proposėes, à des prix qui correspondent à ceux alentours, mais la cuisine est chère. Il était noté petit déjeuner buffet, nous ne l'avons pas eu. Chambre propre, agréable et bien équipée.

sehr gutes Preis Leistungsverhältnis, schöne Naturerlebnisse

Lovely hotel and awesome people. It was a pleasure to stay there
