Whisky Point Resort - Ocean View Open Air Pagoda

ChristianRating, 5 stars1 week ago

One of a kind experience sleeping in one of the Cabanas/Tree houses - comparing with older places the well-fitted mosquito-net was a welcomed change. The food is a little pricey but worth every penny, the quality is really good and everything is really authentic. The pizza and the breakfast were really delicious. The crew which worked there worked really hard to make it one of the best experiences we had while traveling through Sri Lanka - they fulfilled every wish. One big plus was that you can order everything, anytime through a simple text message - never seen this before! There is not much to do around the resort but that makes it such a good place to wind down and relax. All in all we can recommend this resort and if we were ever to be around Sri Lanka again, this would be one of our top choices.

Whisky Point Resort - Lower Cabana Ocean Garden

NannaRating, 5 stars10 months ago

Where do we start! Anna and Nicola were the most welcoming, sweetest, and most helpful hosts we've ever met. My boyfriend had food poisoning and Anna and Nicola immediately helped with medicine and homemade chicken soup which tasted amazing. The place is so beautiful. The finest details and an incredible tranquility that was just what we had hoped for. We surfed with Anna early morning and afternoon which was so cozy. Like having made a friend in no time. The food was so delicious and they have the world's best pizza. It's super easy to take a tuktuk on Safari, surf or into town. There are lots of good restaurants nearby if you want a little variety. Thank you for your amazing hospitality Anna and Nicola. We already miss the place and you: -) Best, Nanna and Søren
