Personal was really friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, water sport school was really helpful and well organized. Hotel area and rooms were very clean.

“Perfect spot to relax and kite surf”

Location was incredible

The staff were really friendly and very helpful. A big thanks to Samanthe at the spa centre for the time of relax and lovely massages! The location is great, definitely for water sports (windsurf and kitesurf) but having a personal mean of transportation (tuktuk or bike) helps a lot to get around to the nearby fisherman village. There is a nice pool.

I spent 5 wonderful days at the resort mainly for kitesurfing in the amazing spots nearby. The whole experience was relaxing and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and always ready to support with any request, which made everything so easy for me. The location is perfect for kite lovers: you can either enjoy the lagoon right in front of the resort or take a boat trip to Vella Island for a fantastic downwind session in shallow waters. Highly recommended!

Very friendly staff.

“A great stay”

Beautiful pool, excellent location and place to learn kitesurfing, very helpful staff

“You’d be better coming for the water sports and staying elsewhere”

Good location for windsurfing and kite surfing.

“Nice place great people”

The pool wash really nice staff couldn’t do enough

“Friendly staff and good wind”

The staff was amazing! Rooms were clean and AC worked well. Pool was nice.

Everything was super nice. The Surf instructior and the rest of the crew are super nice. Very nice spot for Kite and Windsurfing. Bring your own stuff if you want to have good windsurf equipment. They have everything for a quick session. Kitesurf Equipment is new and everything there. We will come back on February 🫶

The place and staff are very friendly and care well always behind and help to all the guests there was. Thank you one's again and hope to see you.

“A confused place, trying to upgrade to be five star but lacking in execution”

The location; the staff; the pool

“Great place, great value for money, I highly recommend !”

I have spent 2 weeks in Sri Lanka and I was the first 5 days in Da Silva. I loved it ! You can find more fancy/luxuxry place in Sri Lanka, but honestly you should try Da Silva cause it's more friendly though. The staff was great and the nature was amazing, I feel it was more relaxed than other fancier place in Sri Lanka. To be honest in the beginning we chose Da Silva cause it was cheaper than other places, but in the end we truly loved it cause we really felt at home there. I highly recommend, especially if you want to kite surf there (don't trust the weather forecast, most days they say you can't kite, but in the end the wind is better than expected)

“Nice place to relax”

The place of the resort is nice, lots of plam trees, sweet and small room, everyone has their own little space in front of the room. The pool is big and clean, the staff is really nice and friendly! During the dinner and breakfast, the drinking water is free. The breakfast buffet is quite good and offers a small range of Sri Lankan foods and many western options. As we didn't do the water sports, we relaxed, enjoyed the pool, played some table tennis and badminton, which was nice! After 3 days we were fine to leave, as there are not many things to do outside of the resort. We heard, that the place tries to help the village and the locals around, but we don't know how exactly - but that's a very nice thing! We had our complaints, but we are happy that the staff took them seriously and changed some things. Thank you for that!

“Lovely staff, good location for kiting but fell short on a few things”

Great swimming pool. One of the best in the area. There’s a table tennis table and pool table which is enjoyable for the evening. Staff were so lovely and welcoming. They really made the place! Very good Moscow mule at the kite centre bar. Friendly atmosphere too.

Clean spacious rooms, lovely well kept grounds and pool, the food was delicious, amazing and helpful staff, great set up in general - very social you meet lots of people, convenient location for kiting right next to the lagoon. You have everything you need on site that you don't need to leave!

Basic level room, beautiful and large pool. The place is clean and well maintained.

We absolutely loved our stay! The staff was extremely helpful, welcoming and really made sure that all of our needs were met. The location is also perfect. You are right in front of the lagoon so you can always check out the wind conditions for your upcoming kitesurfing session and enjoy a beautiful sunset view. They offer great kite classes with very knowledgeable instructors, provide modern and top notch gear and the whole crew will make sure you have a good kitesurfing experience. The food was also delicious and lunch was always ready for us as soon as we came back from the water. Nalika, Saffris and everyone else on the team, thank you for making our stay so beautiful! Will definitely come back.

Restaurant was far from the staying place. Also there were very few staffs and was difficult to contact.

“Disappointed with the installations”

- Charming hotel staff. Very attentive and kind - Very close access to the beach - Free service of a boat that takes you to the spot where you can do kitesurfing/ windsurfing
