We (a couple 45-50) really enjoyed our stay at W15. The beach is great for activities and especially beginners surfing. The room we had was very nice with nice interior. Bed was comfortable and bathroom also nice. Hotel surrounding good with some options for restaurants etc. Music played at quite high volume...

Shoutout to Iran from the restaurant who was being super sweet during lunch time and to all the restaurant staff who made sure I was enjoying my delicious meal. The view was so breathtaking and the pool was clean and calm for a nice and relaxing swim. Hightea served well with delicious items to fill ur tummy.

Superb stay

Reviewed By Claire C

We returned to Cape Weligama again for a short stay. We were welcomed back as if we were old friends. The villa was beautiful with everything we needed. Shanaka our room boy was brilliant making sure everything was perfect for us. Whenever we wanted to go to the restaurant or the bar Udiya was there ready with a buggy to take us. Thanks to Chamara and Venura for looking after us again too and making our stay so special. The grounds were kept immaculate at all times. The moon pool was beautiful with spectacular views and the pool guys were there ready with towels and cool drinks. The food was superb. Can’t wait for our next visit, hopefully for much longer as a short stay is never enough. You have a great team - Thank you

Great Surfcamp, great people, great experience

Reviewed By kathas_trophies

I loved our stay at Kima Weligama. We stayed at Kima for about 3 weeks and we couldn't ask for a better time. Eat, sleep, surf. <3 The camp itself is cosy and chill, clean and wonderful. There were daily yoga sessions, a beachvolleyball court, balance boards, pool and more to explore. Location is quiet and close to the beach and also to some nice restaurants and bars. The food, drinks and the service in the camp (shoutout to Saranga, Ravishan, Kavidu, Thilina & Chinthaka - great bar staff!!) was amazing, friendly and always helpful. The rooms (with AC & mosquito nets) were super clean, spacious - loved the beds. Surf guiding was great! Got some helpful input from the guides. I really saw some good progress in my surfing. Thanks again for that! Also like the system with the stars. It's really easy and intuitive. The atmosphere was amazing and I had a great time. I will definitely come back!

Beautiful hotel and lovely staff

Reviewed By 957carmenmarian

We had initially booked at the sister hotel in a street facing room but had a free upgrade to an ocean facing room at the Lantern Boutique. We stayed for 5 nights and had the best time. The room had a great view, it was clean and spacious. There were also two adorable and friendly dogs that liked to hang out by the beach area of the hotel. The ocean wasn’t swimmable this time of year, but we were happy with the pool and there were other beaches a few minutes away that were safe for swimming. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, they arranged everything for us to go to Yala national park and even packed breakfast for us to take with since we had to leave really early. The restaurant and bar at the hotel were also really nice, we loved the Lantern breeze cocktails, hot butter calamari, and Sri Lankan breakfast. There are also lots of other nice restaurants and bars in walking distance. We had a very memorable experience and will definitely return next time we are in Sri Lanka!

We checked into this hotel after booking a home stay that wasn’t right for us. If you are looking for absolute peace and quiet, somewhere to relax and unwind then this is the place in Weligama for you. Fabulous views overlooking turtle bay beach, beautiful clean infinity pool, and a tasty breakfast. 5 min walk from the back gate to the beach, with a couple of bars and plenty of natural shade from the trees.would recommend if you are staying in this area.

Reviewed By ola_gmail

We spent 9 days at Turtle Eco Beach with 2 children (2 and 5 years old) and we were delighted. - Wonderful beach a few steps from the hotel, great for kids to play, nice sand and safe to swim. There were turtles every day! - 10 minutes walk to a large supretmarket and little village with pharmacy and some shops - a lot of different restaurants and bars starting right at the exit of the hotel - great room with very good and quiet air conditioning, - beautiful Balinese bathroom (outside, open to the garden) - very comfortable with children when they come back from the beach covered with the sand :-) - a large swimming pool situated in a beautiful garden, open even late in the evening - very polite and helpful staff with great attitude towards children - the owner of the hotel Michel, is simply a great person. He truly cares about his guests and goes above and beyond to make them feel welcome and comfortable. He told us lot of thongs about the area and helped with everything we needed. In addition, he organized a small surprisebirthday party with big cake for my husband! - Well organised safari trip at a very good price. We saw elephants, crocodile and other animals, it was amazing! - Tuk-tuk stop right next to the hotel. (We recommend a driver named Amal, very fair prices. He is driving really safe - which is not a standard in Sri-Lanka, we traveled with young children, so it was really important for us. He is also very nice and helpful and can be easy contacted with WhatsApp, +94711550211) - additionally, we were recommended a place where selling famous local sapphires and other jewelry "South Lanka Gems and Jewelery" - we bought there beautiful pieces (made especially for me, according to projects I liked). Its quality has exceeded my expectations, it is simply perfect. The prices are great compared to Europe - bit higher than at the small local shops, but the quality is excellent and everything is authentic. All in all, it was a great holiday in a beautiful boutique hotel in a great location. Thank you very much :-)
