Calamansi Cove Villas

After a 3 week tour of Sri Lanka we booked 3 nights at Calamansi Cove The villa we had (Mango) was beautiful with a private garden area to relax and listen to the tropical sounds around. Everywhere was spotlessly clean around the resort. Lovely meals in the restaurant….some have mentioned slow service…we have waited longer in restaurants in the U.K….Whats the rush anyway when you can sit and enjoy a cold beer and delight in the beautiful surroundings. ( maybe some soft music would add a nice ambiance) Stunning beach on your doorstep and fun watching the fishermen taking their boats out ( from 5pm ish) daily and also pulling in their catch with the nets. The pool was great to cool off and must mention the lifeguard who we loved chatting to and explained lots about the nature of the area. Also Asela who gives the most wonderful massages while listening to the sound of the ocean. But a shout out to all the staff from the gardeners to the receptionist..Nirodha who,s communication is exceptional..Thank you. Would we visit again?….In a heartbeat ….3 days was not long enough.. This place is truly paradise !

The property is away from crowded areas, near a village, about a kilometer from the main road. We stayed here for only one day/night and it was raining most of the time. We had our own car, hence it was convenient to go out otherwise we would be stuck here because of the rain. Our garden villa(named Rambutan) was nice and spacious. It is set in a tropical forest with a huge outdoor area and rooftop terrace. But mosquitoes wouldn't let us sit outside. The problem with our villa was that other guests could look into our room when they were passing by. So we had to keep the curtains down. I wouldn't recommend this villa. The food at the restaurant was alright but expensive. The service was pretty slow. For dinner, one has to confirm hours before and for breakfast one has to order the night before. The pool was good and the beach was excellent. There is a fishing village right next door. Pretty idyllic! If you want privacy then don't take the villa named Rambutan.

Nestled on a pristine beach less than an hour and a half from Colombo, this exquisite hotel was even better than we’d hoped it would be. The breathtaking views and helpful and welcoming staff that made us feel right at home. The villas were elegant and super comfortable, with gorgeous furniture I wanted to take home with me! All the meals we had in the restaurant were delicious, and we loved our massages with “Magic Hands”. Afternoons by the pool were bliss, and taking a ride into the local town in a tuk-tuk was fun. The hotel also arranged an unforgettable river trip to explore nearby temples, making our visit even more memorable—we’ll 100% return to this very special Hotel time and time again.

this place is more than i could ever imagine. Impecable service, silence, cleanlinsess, beautiful rooms, beatiful restaurant. The view of the beach is a treat from morning to evening. All the ingredients of a relaxing holliday are present at Calamansi. Beyond the place is the team here, dedicated to having happy clients. Special thanks to Nirodha, the heart of the place, the guest relations manager. Then, Sujigh, the life gurad who know everything about nature and helps everybody, guests and collegues, alike. House keeping team, always with a smile, are doing their best so you can stay in a clean and confortable room. Restaurant team needs more speed, that is the only thing that i want improved at Calamansi. The Spa is lucky to have Asela, and the kitchen chef Bandara. I plan to be back and i hope to find everybody, especially the shedog Tommy. I travelled in 61 countries, stayed in 4 & 5 stars hotels and i can say this is the best place i've ever been.

This hotel is in a secluded haven with a sustainable policy. From the lifeguard that waved us goodbye saying Come next year, to the main admin and all the waiters team, made us feel pampered. We are grateful for these details, as it is this which make us feel a special guest and add value to our holidays. The restaurant food is superb and the breakfast can't be missed either. Wishing to return some day, we can 100% recommend this hotel.

Calamansi Cove is a little slice of heaven. The beach is stunning, facilities are excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. This is the perfect escape from busy lives and also a wonderful oasis of calm if you are exploring the exciting activities and sights of Sri Lanka. The food was delicious, with plenty of choice for all tastes. The proximity of the pool and restaurant to the beach also means that everyone can truly relax and go at the their own pace. I can't recommend it highly enough.
