“Perfect stay in Kalpitiya close to the beach”
The service is amazing and the people working there are very welcoming and friendly. My scooter had a flat tire (twice), and both the times they helped me so good with fixing it. Thanks a lot!!

I really enjoyed my stay at Sandy Edge. The room was excellent and the location is ideal, situated between the kite schools on one side and a wide selection of restaurants on the other. However, there is little need to leave the hotel, as the food at Sandy Edge is outstanding. Both breakfast and dinner were of high quality and very reasonably priced. A special mention must go to the staff and host. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and helpful, contributing greatly to a very pleasant stay. Sandy Edge comes highly recommended and I would gladly return.

The ppl here are so friendly and the vibe is sociable and beach hut style which is fun. Rooms are basic but they are good value, as described and have everything you need. Also the night sounds are really cool, it feels a bit like camping/being closer to nature. The rooms have a nice shaded and cushioned front porch to chill on in the heat of the day.

“Kind hosts, huts open to outside (see review)”
Lovely, kind hosts who were happy to help with anything. Clean, well maintained property. Mosquito nets over beds. Very cute huts. The dolphin watching trip was super - literally hundreds of spinner dolphins!

“Friendly, attentive host, great stay”
A lovely start to our time in Sri Lanka. Prasanna was an excellent and attentive host. He helped us arrange a dolphin trip and onward travel to Wilpattu across the lagoon. Food was great, the cabanas were clean, and comfortable and the location just a short walk from the beach.

“Relaxing stay close to the beach in a coconut tree garden”
very friendly and helpful host, we got a local breakfast on request, very charming little bungalows with a terrace and nice garden, very good and fresh food, not far from a long beach, no a lot of tourists, calm and quiet, comfortable bed with a mosquito net

“Amazing”
Sandy Kites has been an amazing experience. Prassanna and his family are unbelievably kind, considerate, and always up for a chat. The rooms are cosy and comfortable & the food - cooked by Prassanas farther in law - is delicious. He has connections throughout the local village and is always trying to give back and boost the local economy. We can't wait to stay again.

“Fabulous”
Lovely family and beyond helpful in everything. The evening meal is great - note there is no where else close to go too. The large space for all guests is a great meeting place. I would recommend staying here and with their planned improvements coming - coffee machine, more food etc will be even better. I wish them great success
