Melheim Beach Kalpitiya

We booked our stay at Melheim for two nights and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. After a 4 hour drive getting there and arriving just after midday, hungry and ready to order food, we were told that nearly all items on the menu weren’t available; this was a common occurrence of our duration there. The attendant was overbearing, he would stand at our table and look at us while eating and ask questions about the food and not leave the table. On two occasions we found flies in our food and complained. The dining room is not air conditioned and doors are left wide open so while you’re eating during the day you’re attacked by flies and evenings you’re attacked by mozzies. As far as the positives go, the rooms were spacious, clean with comfy beds and air conditioner.

Ruhiges Resort mit viel Platz direkt am sauberen Strand. Lokale Fischer mit ihren Booten gut zu beobachten. Die Fischer freuen sich über Hilfe, die Boote am Strand hoch zu ziehen. Gutes Restaurant. Extrawünsche jederzeit erfüllt. Geräumige und komfortable Bungalowhälften. Gerne wieder.

Straordinario! Camere pulite, belle, spaziose, con aria condizionata e vista mare. Letto comodissimo, bagno grande con doccia moderna e spaziosa. Servizio impeccabile. Molto attento, rapido ed efficiente, hanno esaudito ogni nostra richiesta. Cibo incredibile (la migliore cena in Sri Lanka l’abbiamo fatta qui, al Melheim Beach). Giardino con amache e piscina. Complimenti, senza ombra di dubbio il nostro miglior soggiorno sull’isola. Super consigliato. Grazie!!!

MELHEIM BEACH by itself is a very nice small place, only six spacious rooms in twin Bungalows, well designed (though not soundproof at all as advertised), well kept right on the beach. The sea was rough during our visit not inviting to take a bath. Unfortunately there are some drawbacks which might spoil your stay. Right in front of the hotel entrance stands a huge wind turbine which creates a certain kind of sound level that can be disturbing. The big coal power plant Norochcholai is only about 500m away to the north and the beach outside the hotel premises is pretty dirty. Maybe the cause for a lot of flies annoying you when you sit on the verandah outside your room watching the sunset. Unforgettable however –in a positive way- is the boat trip (well organized by the hotel) to go dolphin watching. Not to forget either: the food offered by the restaurant (we were on half board): delicious and presented with a lot of love to details. The maybe most outstanding asset of Melheim is NISAL. He is bellboy, Room Service, waiter serving the food in the restaurant, all in one person: an amazing guy !!!

Exceprional service The service was excellent. The concierge Anand was exceptional.

I stayed one night here and really happy with the hotel. Only 6 rooms so make it like private, nice and spacious room with ocean views. Staff is really friendly and helpful. I also have dinner and breakfast here as well. For me overall is great experience
