"Bungalow super sympa et atypique. La cuisine est très bonne et fraîche : tout est fait maison sur place. Seul petit manque, il n'y a pas de cocktails. La plage est juste devant les bungalows et pratiquement déserte, hormis quelques cours de surf. De jolies vagues pour s'amuser, avec des planches mises à disposition par l'hôtel. Le bémol : c'est un peu à distance des commerces, il faut prendre un tuk-tuk pour s'y rendre. Un conseil, utilisez l'application PickMe, sinon c'est plus cher — le...

"This property had its pros and its cons. Pros ✨Friendly, welcoming staff and always happy to see you ✨Location to the surf, shops, bars and restaurants, undeniably spot on, 5 starts for that alone. ✨Spacious rooms with air con ✨Reasonable price Cons 🫠Restaurant, bar and coffee not operating as I think it is now low season and everyone is getting ready to shut down for the end of the season so we didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy the advertised amenities 🫠It’s a hostel pulling in young...

My only choices were to cancel the booking or pay the "new prices" which were 3x higher! I ended up saying I didn't want the booking and found other accommodations. I actually went to the hotel during my trip where the front desk person was frustrated...

Top Mahakalugolla Hotel Reviews

Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve

8/10 Good

"Positives Well maintained cabana styled facility in front of the Indian Ocean. Absolutely amazing staff. Beautifully laid out pool with fantastic views looking at evening sunset. Great food! Negatives Locals will definitely let you know you're a surrounded by Islamists. You will definitely not welcome to wear a bikini or any form of costume that is not acceptable to them in the beach. In the evening, penguin looking women stand in front of the pool for no apparent reason. No bacon in the menu. A Danish woman was sexually assaulted recently in the beach according to Locals. Potivil is a part of Sri Lanka! Our heroes liberated this area from Tamil Terrorists not to be taken over by Islamists! Sad."
