Paper Moon Kudils

It is my first time in Sri Lanka and I went to Paper Moon. It was low season and there was not much people , this place felt like a home. -rooms are clean -well located -they will find you tuk tuk or motorbike easily to go to the city - good wifi if you need to work - Rajah’s food is the BEST ! Try the sambal !!!! There is no menu but trust him when he proposes something , it is always worth it. The best part of paper moon is the people ! Super nice stay there !

We looked forward to staying at Paper Moon. Our driver followed a sign to this hotel but travelling further saw a sign with 2 arrows pointing in opposite directions. Finally get to a gate with the Paper Moon board but no signs to reception. We called the contact number and were told we had to keep going down the driveway. Quite a few guys came running out and then disappeared. Nobody actually welcomed us and told us where we had to go. We eventually came to an open cafe area and quite a few guys just stood around not actually saying anything. No reception as such but the guy at the bar told us we were in the right place. We were given a welcome drink and they took our passports for check in but still didn’t tell us we had checked in. The rooms are individual units. Very simple but ok. The door doesn’t quite reach the ground which left me a bit nervous about creepy crawlies. The bathroom is huge but basic. No toiletries provided apart from a tiny cake of soap. The staff were mostly very friendly and helpful and provided whatever food we asked for but having all male staff just hanging around all the time was quite intimidating. Staff should probably also not hover around the tables as often and leave guests to enjoy their meals. The place is also the local bar so locals are constantly at the bar window for their alcohol. That also left us feeling a bit unsafe as there was a drunken fight one night. There’s nothing around this hotel so it would have to be on a full board basis. Luckily we had a car and driver and were able to check out local cafes. The place was clean. Probably not ideal for solo or young ladies travelling alone.

This has been a wonderful stay! We had our own little bungalow in a garden surrounded by palm trees! It had both AC and a fan! The place has a nice pool and is laying right on the beach! 🤩 The staff greeted us in a heartwarming way when we arrived late at evening and made us a good meal, even despite the fact that our booking didnt come trough in time as we booked it late. They are all very kind and helpful with everything! The Sri Lankan food they make is amazing and they know how to take care of you! I highly recomend this place! 🌞If you are here to surf, they are happy to arrange this for you! Raja, the older gentleman, a positive soul and a happy person was great to us!❤️ If you want secluded prestine beaches then this place and Whiskey Point is perfect for you!
