Good Karma

De principio a fin, nuestra estancia en Good Karma fue increíble. ¡Todo el personal fue fantástico! Los masajes fueron los mejores que hemos tenido. Y la comida del desayuno y la cena estuvo deliciosa. El pescado fresco y los platos tradicionales de Sri Lanka fueron realmente excepcionales. El propietario, Akila, hace que la estancia sea aún más especial; se desvive por asegurar que tengas la mejor experiencia. Organizó el avistamiento de tortugas nocturnas, un increíble safari de aves al amanecer en una laguna local y nuestro transporte al siguiente destino. La playa es tan tranquila que parece tu propia playa privada. El mar puede estar un poco agitado, pero el sonido de las olas es hipnótico. Lo único negativo fue que tuvimos que irnos, ya que podríamos haber pasado todo el viaje aquí. ¡Un 10!

This is a beautiful, secluded hotel right next to the beach. The staff were kind and helpful and there was free yoga every morning. The rooms were big and comfortable with your own veranda. We ate in the restaurant and the food was always delicious. This hotel far exceeded our expectations.

A little hidden gem. We stayed at the GK for 5 nights recently whilst travelling around Sri Lanka. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and hospitable throughout. The grounds, pool and rooms were kept clean, daily. A lovely breakfast was included with various payable options available for lunch and dinner. The view of the quiet beachfront was stunning. We felt calm and tranquil surrounded by the beautiful Forrest full of nature. Tuc Tucs and taxis were available on request to visit local shops and restaurants. We made use of the onsite yoga and spa daily. As a family with two young children who love to explore, we would definitely recommend Good Karma and hope to visit again.

This is the best place I have ever stayed. And I travel a lot. We stayed in villa 5 and it was exceptional. Very comfortable and clean. The food was amazing. The staff could not do enough for you. So helpful, friendly, arranging cars for us. I felt like royalty here. I cannot reccomend it enough. The location we right on the beach. I did not want to leave. Absolutely faultless stay. Would reccomend! 5 star ️️️️️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We asked to change the dates, and they cancelled the booking when we didnt show up. We were planning to show up the next day but they had already cancelled. So they took the money and moved on, leaving us to look for alternative options. Try to find some other option. From other reviews seems like people had similar experiences.

The Good Karma hotel is everything it promises to be, in contrast to several poor reviews published on TripAdvisor this year. So much so, I wonder if those reviewers are maligning the hotel for another reason. We stayed for four nights and would be hard pressed to find fault with any aspect of the hotel. The staff were unfailing polite and attentive, making us immediately welcome by arranging for dinner to be served in our villa since we had arrived well after dinner service had begun. Our villa was thoughtfully refreshed when we were absent; the food was tasty and well presented with loads or fruit, juice and tea and coffee on the side; the grounds are well tended and the neighbourhood dogs, which cannot be prevented from visiting via the beach, are well behaved and treated kindly. Staying in the villa with a pool was lux but economical for our group of three. We particularly enjoyed the peaceful location, the morning yoga session (at no extra charge), leisurely breakfast, evening drinks on the beach, and the excellent onsite spa services. The hotel is well away from the hustle and bustle however there are several dining and spa alternatives a few steps along the road or the beach. A tuk-tuk or taxi can be whistled up at any moment. We did not experience any of the issues other one-star reviewers have mentioned, although it is worth noting that any tropical beach paradise has a lot of rain water around and the lush surroundings may smell different to what you expect. I am highly sensitive to smells, and only detected the faintest waft at times. Definitely not a constant.
