Karpaha Sands

This hotel was one of the best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka. Everything was just perfect: the beach, the restaurant, the service and all amenities. We stayed in a private garden villa , the room was super clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast had a big variety of healthy meals, lunch and dinner menu is very good, has a big choice of fresh fish and seafood. The service was just excellent! Highly recommend to go to cinema under the stars and enjoy a movie on the beach. Will definitely recommend this place to friends.

The hotel looks very primising in the pictures, beautiful setting and facilities. Unfortunately we were a bit disqppointed on the way it is managed. It looks like the place is abandoned relying on its own structure and pictures. Pros: - beautiful setting and location, in front of a beautiful beach. - rooms are well done, big bathrooms, nice outdoor area. - faclities have a beautiful decoration, the bar, the restaurant. Cons: - cleaning! The resort has a cleaning issue. To the point that we wrote "clean me" with our fingers on the restaurant toilet mirror, and it was there during our entire stay. Nothing has regular cleaning, spots everywhere, toilets are terrible specialy the poil toilet (see pictures). - bar drinks are not good. We tried many drinks and juices in all the hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka, and this one we had to give up, drink after drink, juice after juice, were not good at all. Also the drink glasse come very very dirty. - bar is beautiful but never had any music during our stay. Its a silent empty place, no one uses it... and the bartender usualy is not there which makes it a ghost place. - service is welcoming but not prepared. For example before you reach the breakfast area upstairs they ask you: "what do you want for breakfast? So i dont have to go upstairs to ask", overall staff is tired, not motivated and have no training, they are as abandoned as the hotel. - spa was closed during our entire stay, because the lady had days off. So we booked a hotel with a Spa that did not exist...you have to be lucky not to book on her days off. - when at check-out i tried to tell them the place have lots of potential but they need to pay attention to this details they just replied: thank you for your stay, please make us a review on tripadvisor! So they just don't pay attention... which is sad to see. I wish they could change the management and have someone motivated and energic to transform the place into the best hotel in Sri Lanka, because they could be.

Восторг полнейший) Начиная от сотрудников, которые нас встречали на входе в отель. Совсем не хотелось уезжать, но смогли забронировать только на один день, на другие даты уже не было свободных вилл. Встретил нас главный менеджер и у нас был личный помощник. Все так красиво, номера с собственным двориком более уединенные, чем те, что с выходом к морю. Интерьер очень стильный, классная зона для чая и душ на улице, а самое главное-это наличие ванной) В главном корпусе есть зона для работы на компьютере и детская зона-невероятно красивая комната. На пляже много фотозон, возле бассейна есть бар, официанты разносят напитки. Завтрак идеальный, подача и сами блюда-высший класс. Ужин понравился, заказывали блюдо от шефа, оно зависит от улова в этот день. У нас были лобстеры. Везде делают комплиментики-кокосы при вселении, креветки у бассейна, детокс напитки на завтрак и т.д. Много путешествуем, но именно этот отель запал в сердце. Наверное, дело ещё в душевном отношении к каждому гостю. Главный менеджер Умберто - итальянец, провожал нас вместе с остальными сотрудниками. Обязательно вернёмся ещё.

這是沙灘別墅，起床就能看到印度洋日出！ 安靜 不會被打擾！ 早餐是點餐的 味道不錯，地理位置比較偏，基本都是在酒店內解決用餐問題。

We are overwhelmed. Absolutely fantastic place. The staff, our butler Banda, the food, sir Omba, and all the other people did their best to make our stay perfect. Both us and our kids loved this hotel. It's calm, has a beautiful pool which is well maintained, and has a gorgeous beach with local fishermen's and palms as far as eyes can see. This hotel gives you the feeling of "that little something special," and even with everything so high quality, it is still with a chill atmosphere. The hospitality gives you a feeling like you're welcome as you are. We would love to stay longer and of course we'll come back.

Karpaha Sands is a luxury hotel with unique beach Glamping tents all situated in amongst the palm trees, with fantastic views, it's a most beautiful Sri Lankan location. This really is a hideaway resort, luxury meets authenticity. Guests can unwind and be close to nature and relax in the infinity pool, or sit and chill in the artistic boutique surroundings. A walk across the beautiful white sand and then swim in the turquoise sea you can observe the local fishermen go about their daily work. The food and drinks were out of this world as was all the staff working in the Karpaha sands, we really can't wait to go back.

The most magical, perfect paradise in Sri Lanka. My husband and I spent 6 nights her, in the middle of our 2 week trip on the island. We could not get over the kind, accommodating nature of the staff here & how they made our trip so unbelievably special. A special thanks to Nifras, and the whole restaurant and bar team. Remembering our favourite drinks, our names and giving us tips & tricks about where to visit on the next part of our trip. Thank you to Umberto, for spending the time to get to know us, and for making our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The hotel really is a tranquil little hiatus. If you’re wanting a real reset and some R&R, this place is for you. We can’t wait to come back one day

Idyllic setting on probably the best beach on the East Coast. A 5 star Robinson Crusoe setting with lovely staff, led by the awesome GM Umberto, beautiful pool and good selection of great food and drinks. Undoubtedly though it is all about the location complete with fishing boats, eagles soaring above, golden sand with photogenic palm tree. "Tents" are well equipped with aircon and private outside showers- a joy!

After 2 years we came back to our favorite beach resort at the east coast of Sri Lanka. Meanwhile it became popular and you feel the new management, coming from Italy, everywhere. Best service, proper working butler system, very well designed food and these wonderful spacious airconditioned tents made our recent stay even more enjoyable than last time. We did not want to leave
