De Perla Resort
10 (1 reviews)

De Perla Resort ★★★

📍 WR4R+MRH, Ampara

"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!"

Blue Waters ★★★★

📍 Blue Waters, Kottukal Beach Road, P-20, Pottuvil Point, Pottuvil

"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."

Oruwa Boutique Villas ★★★

📍 Main Street Arugambay, Sarvodaya, Pottuvil-18, Ampara

"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."

Paper Moon Kudils
8.0 (8 reviews)

Paper Moon Kudils ★★★

📍 25, Kanagar Village, Urani, Ampara

"I have stayed in hundreds of hotels worldwide – from budget hostels to 5-star resorts – and I have never experienced anything this bad. What happened at Paper Moon Kudils is not just “poor service” – it’s a case study in how to destroy guest trust. We booked two bungalows for my family: two small children, an elderly relative, and myself. From the moment we opened the door, it was obvious: We were not in a hotel. We were in a health hazard. This is what we walked into: Mouse droppings across the floor, furniture, and even close to the beds where my children would sleep Dirty, stained bedding – clearly used and never replaced Filthy, wet floor mats with a smell that turned my stomach No mosquito nets, despite being clearly promised in the booking No toiletries whatsoever – not even soap to wash our hands A rooftop terrace that was closed, crumbling, and unsafe to enter Everywhere you looked, it felt abandoned for months, left to decay while still taking money from guests under false advertising. The beautiful online photos? Pure fiction. What you see there does not exist here. Because of our children, we couldn’t leave instantly – but we checked out after just one night. Staying longer would have been irresponsible. We reported everything to Agoda, who repeatedly tried to contact the property. They never replied. No apology. No explanation. No accountability. Weeks later, the only “solution” was a 15% refund for one bungalow – a number so ridiculous it almost felt like mockery. As a German medical specialist and frequent global traveller, I understand both health standards and honesty in service. This property fails at both. It is not just below standard – it is dangerous and deliberately misrepresented. We have photo and video evidence of every detail. Believe me: The pictures speak for themselves – and they tell a story of neglect, deception, and contempt for paying guests. If you value your health, your safety, and your money: Avoid Paper Moon Kudils at all costs. Frankly, this place should be removed from all booking platforms and inspected by health authorities."

Wild Edge Panama - Kumana Safari Lodge

Wild Edge Panama - Kumana Safari Lodge ★★

📍 ABESINGAPURA, PANAMA NORTH, Ampara

"I stayed at Wild Edge Panama Kumana Safari Lodge for four nights in July 2026 and had a wonderful time. It’s set in a quiet rural area in Panama within a 40 minute drive to the entrance to Kumana National Park. The rooms are very clean with comfortable double bed and mosquito netting, aircon and fan and plenty of storage and plug sockets. There is a terrace to each bedroom with outdoor seating. The en suite bathroom had an excellent shower and all the modern amenities and plumbing and toiletries. There is a stylish main entrance/reception and communal dining area and the lodge is surrounded by small ponds/water features. The beach is a short walk over the sand dunes and is clean and quiet. The local bird life is excellent. There is fast wi-fi throughout the property. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Samitha and his wife own the lodge and live adjacent and were kind and generous hosts. Samitha is an expert wildlife photographer/videographer and I had the privilege of several all day safaris in Kumana National Park with him. He is extremely knowledgable and has a real passion for the flora and fauna. I would not hesitate to recommend this lodge and hope to return again."

"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!!"

Blue Waters ★★★★
"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. "

Wild Edge Panama - Kumana Safari Lodge ★★
"Great place to stay that is both close to Kumana National Park and has excellent guides to see wildlife. We are very glad we booked to stay at Wild Edge. Samitha was an excellent host and guide. Like the accommodation, their jeeps were comfortable - indeed the jeeps were well customised for photography as well for general viewing. I benefited from learning from Samitha’s vast experience in photography and videography. We saw a family of leopards and a sloth bear. After the second half-day safari we had a delicious fresh passion fruit juice at the hotel to cool down (it is probably the best passion fruit juice I’ve ever had!)."

Jetwing Kottukal Beach House ★★★★
"A hidden gem. This hotel is amazing, the location, the space and the staff. It’s tucked away at the end of the beach and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The rooms are great and fully serviced. The staff are friendly, helpful and go above and beyond. Access to the near by Jetwing surf is an added bonus."

Aprota Villas ★★★★★
"We had a horrible experience at this hotel. The price is extremely expensive for very poor services. The hotel is very dirty, with a lot of trash all around the property (empty bottles and beer cans, papers, dirty dishcloths, etc.), the pool bar is always closed and extremely dirty. We paid for a sea view room but no room has actually a sea view. There is no intimacy in your private swimming pool: the staff is passing by and looking at you. A lot of things were broken in the room (bathtub, hairdryer, TV, AC very noisy). The food is horrible, all frozen and very bad quality whereas it is supposed to be a 5 stars hotel. Only 1 cocktail was available on the 20+ cocktail list. We were served coke from a 2 liters bottle, not from a personal small bottle or can - this is very unhygienic, and should not happen, not in a 5 stars hotel but neither in a low standing hotel. Staff barely speaks English. The hotel is empty, the atmosphere is very weird, there were 10+ staff working for only 2 families in a giant hotel. I could keep going as we had the worst experience ever, but as a conclusion, absolutely avoid going there ! On our hand, we were supposed to stay 3 nights but decided to leave the hotel after 1 night."
