"The property setting is beautiful on the lagoon."
"Dinuda is in a great location, not far from the sand bar with the sea on one side and the lagoon on the other."
"I think the location is perfect, especially for those who are into kite surfing, cause the place for that is just on the other side of lagoon and you can use hotel kayak to cross it."

I had a wonderful stay at Dinuda Resort, right by the beautiful Kalpitiya lagoon. The ambiance was relaxing, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though the pool area was a bit smaller than expected. The dining options, especially the seafood, were delicious, making it great value for money. However, the lack of a sea view from some spots was a minor letdown.

I had a lovely stay at this resort, which is conveniently located near the lagoon and offers beautiful views. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and I enjoyed the delicious food. However, there were some issues with the cleanliness of the pool and noise disturbances from a party on one of the nights. Overall, it's a charming place but could use some improvements.

The hotel has a beautiful setting overlooking the lagoon, perfect for sunsets and a real treat for kite surfing enthusiasts. The staff was genuinely nice and helpful, particularly during our stay. However, we faced some issues with cleanliness and the noise from a party late at night, which made our experience less enjoyable. Overall, it has potential but needs improvements in service and facilities to match the prices.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while they had great views, were not as clean as I had hoped and lacked proper amenities. The staff was generally friendly, and the food, especially breakfast, was delicious. However, access to activities was limited, and the overall condition of the resort left much to be desired. It might be worth considering if you're traveling with a group, but not ideal for solo travelers seeking comfort and cleanliness.
