My stay at Salt Bay Kite Resort was incredibly enjoyable, thanks to the beautiful setting and Thusitha's really good hospitality. The outdoor bathroom in my cottage was a unique feature, and the meals were consistently delicious. However, the locality is very windy which isn't ideal for everyone, especially if you're looking for sunbathing opportunities.

My stay at Salt Bay Kite Resort was overall fantastic, despite a few small downsides. The highlight was Thusitha's very nice cooking and warm hospitality. The outdoor bathroom was unique, and the surrounding nature was beautiful, though the extreme wind made it challenging to sunbathe on the nearby beach. I would have appreciated hot water during my stay, but it was manageable, and I enjoyed seeing the many birds in the garden.
