The hotel looks very primising in the pictures, beautiful setting and facilities. Unfortunately we were a bit disqppointed on the way it is managed. It looks like the place is abandoned relying on its own structure and pictures. Pros: - beautiful setting and location, in front of a beautiful beach. - rooms are well done, big bathrooms, nice outdoor area. - faclities have a beautiful decoration, the bar, the restaurant. Cons: - cleaning! The resort has a cleaning issue. To the point that we wrote "clean me" with our fingers on the restaurant toilet mirror, and it was there during our entire stay. Nothing has regular cleaning, spots everywhere, toilets are terrible specialy the poil toilet (see pictures). - bar drinks are not good. We tried many drinks and juices in all the hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka, and this one we had to give up, drink after drink, juice after juice, were not good at all. Also the drink glasse come very very dirty. - bar is beautiful but never had any music during our stay. Its a silent empty place, no one uses it... and the bartender usualy is not there which makes it a ghost place. - service is welcoming but not prepared. For example before you reach the breakfast area upstairs they ask you: "what do you want for breakfast? So i dont have to go upstairs to ask", overall staff is tired, not motivated and have no training, they are as abandoned as the hotel. - spa was closed during our entire stay, because the lady had days off. So we booked a hotel with a Spa that did not exist...you have to be lucky not to book on her days off. - when at check-out i tried to tell them the place have lots of potential but they need to pay attention to this details they just replied: thank you for your stay, please make us a review on tripadvisor! So they just don't pay attention... which is sad to see. I wish they could change the management and have someone motivated and energic to transform the place into the best hotel in Sri Lanka, because they could be.

Hotel is isolated, quite small but super friendly, cosy and exclusive. Staff is super friendly, great room size and very clean. Food is superb. Hotel arranges trips to the local city Batticaloa, Sigiriya, Safari to the National Parks to see the elephants and other trips. Special thanks to Sampah who received us and took care of us during our stay.

Karpha Sands is a beautiful, well-designed hotel. The Rooms are tent like bungalows with an astonishing view to the beach. As a family with two pre-school children we felt extreme welcome by the friendly, warm-hearted staff. The food was very delicious, offering a well balanced mixture between local and international cuisine. We had a wonderful time and would definitetely come again when we visit Sri Lanka again...

The Karpaha Sands is a luxurious hotel complex built on an old coconut plantation. Beautiful beach in a secluded location. Beautiful infinity pool with sea views. Good food in the in-house restaurant. Dedicated and friendly team under Italian management.

The resort is beautiful so many nice touches the best beach but a bit rough now. Travelled with my foreign girlfriend and stayed a few nights. Staff very nice but not motivated. The foreign manager seems only interested in speaking to foreigners and ignored me. Food was excellent but be prepared to wait for it and some mistake in my order. So why 1 star? After speaking to some staff not mentioning name or departments as don't want them to get in trouble. They all complain that their salaries and tips being delayed from the manager .Also the quality of staff food is not good anymore. Being an Sri Lankan but not living here I know how important it is to have their salaries and tips paid on time. They also mentioned that the manager screams and never say anything positive. I am surprised over that.. Hopefully the foreign owners will read it take action.

This was the best hotel experience we ever had. The pool and its view are spendlid, the villas are simply amazing, the staff goes above and beyond and the food is delicious. Umberto and his team really make you feel special and give attention to the small details. We loved every minute of it and will definitely come again!
