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.

This location is a slice of paradise, the villa was lovely, with a private area to relax in, pity about the mossies. Just yards from a beautiful, almost deserted beach, at times it felt like we were the only visitors there. The staff were first rate,nothing was too much trouble, a mention for, Nirodha,lovely lady who became a friend, Wacella,in the restaurant, the life guards, and Preantha, whom we met on the beach and became our tuk tuk driver, even inviting us for a meal with his family, loved you all, hope to return in a couple of years, met the owner, please don't make too many changes, it is perfect.

We’ve stayed at Calamansi Cove Villas three times already, and every time we leave, we start dreaming about coming back again. It’s truly a place that feels like home — but on vacation. The biggest highlight for us is the exceptional service. The people who work here are incredibly kind and warm. It’s such a joy to return and see familiar faces who not only remember us, but also know and genuinely care about our children. That kind of connection is rare and deeply meaningful. We want to give special thanks to Sujith, Nerodha, Shalini and Jayavira, who have looked after us and our children every single time we’ve visited. Their care and attention make all the difference, and we are so grateful for their presence. This is a perfect place for curious little explorers — our kids loved collecting coconuts, spotting iguanas and monkeys, watching hermit crabs, searching for shells, and exploring the plants and flowers. The surroundings are simply beautiful: peaceful, private, and just steps away from a quiet beach. We’re already planning our next trip with the whole family, even if it means traveling for 24 hours with two kids — it’s always worth it for the rest, nature, and warmth we experience at Calamansi Cove. Also, a special shoutout to Asela for the unforgettable massage — truly a highlight of the stay! This place has a piece of our hearts. We’ve traveled a lot, but Calamansi Cove Villas is one of those rare gems we always want to return to.

This is quite frankly the nicest, most comfortable, and modern hotel I've ever stayed at in Sri Lanka. It was BEAUTIFUL and serene, and spotless. This is a beachfront property and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff: Nirodha (manager) was very friendly and promptly upgraded us to a suite due to a booking mishap, attentive without being intrusive, and the chef turned out most delicious meals! Rooms were large and modern, with high-end fittings and linen. Poolside was absolute bliss. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the lovely owner Eveline every night! Hi Eveline, this is Nicky! Please stay here, I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed.

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.
