Location and Access – About 2 hours’ drive by Expressway from Colombo Airport. The hotel has a beachfront location on a peninsular on the outskirts of Kulatara. Shops and services can be found in Kalutara A number of pictures of the hotel can be seen on Google Street View. Booking – I made a very last minute room booking on Agoda – this is where all my troubles began. Agoda confirmed the booking and payment was authorised from my bank. Unfortunately reception at the hotel did not receive any information on my booking. As a consequence I had to pay the hotel direct to secure the room . I then tried to contact Agoda to find out what had happened and was faced with what seemed like a torrent of ChatGPT generated acknowledgements - full of flummery and with no obvious way of contacting a “real” person. Eventually I did manage to email someone and got a response with information embedded somewhere between a ChatGPT worded salutation and valedicton. I spent considerable time trying to resolve this situation It should be noted that I also had to contact the Avani Hotel direct to try and sort things out and I must compliment their customer service staff. (Jonathon and Nuwan). Unlike Agoda I had an immediate response from a real person and was delighted with the way they dealt with an issue raised by one of their guests and would thank them for their support Reception – Despite the difficulties mentioned above the staff on Reception were very understanding in their dealings with me Public Areas/Decor – The hotel buildings sprawl over a wide area and include seating areas, library, bars and restaurants. All fresh with modern décor and furnishings. There is a large outdoor pool with loungers etc. and direct access to the sandy beach. The whole property sits in well maintained grounds. Guest Room –This was comfortable with large double bed, adjoining shower room, tea and coffee making and mini fridge. Ocean front with a furnished balcony Amenities including Entertainment – Large flat screen TV with a limited number of channels. Ample electrical sockets. Free WiFi was very good Lighting – A variety of lighting options Air Conditioning – Very good including ceiling fan Noise – I was not disturbed by any noise Food & Beverage – The restaurant serves a buffet dinner and a la carte is available from the bar. After the hassle of dealing with the booking problem – did not have the appetite for the buffet and chose a la carte from a very limited menu. My partners prawns were pronounced delicious but my burger was inedible. However, the buffet breakfast was exceptionally good with eggs and hoppers made to order and also a wide range of fruits, cooked items and local dishes and fresh bakery items. Cappuccino’s made to order were a treat from the usual “hotel coffee”. Value for Money – For the quality of the accommodation I was very satisfied with the room rate which included the excellent breakfast X Factor – The after service of the Avani Hotel in d

訪訪客This is more a resort then a normal hotel. with good facilities .
Even though it is more then 20 years old it is still o'kay and is currently being updated and renovated.
Back when it first opened ,it was probably the best resort in all of Sri Lanka!!
Quiet location ,a bit out of town ,but easy to get a Tuk Tuk to get around.
it is about 2 hours by bus from Colombo ,or probably quicker by train ........ but not as much fun!
Staff where freindly and helpful if needed.
訪訪客We stayed in the deluxe wing, which does not offer a good view of the ocean, for the price of the room. The hotel and its furniture looks dated, but the room was large and comfortable enough. The beach in front of the hotel is a public beach - there are touts standing just outside the hotel waiting to sell things.
訪訪客Unfortunately underwhelming...
We booked a room with 2 double beds (alternatively 2 single bed) for a higher price because that's what we wanted - when we checked in, we were given a room with 1 double bed. Unfortunately the bed couldn't be spitted and no other room was available (which we highly doubted, as we were one of the early one's checking in that day).
We received a very soft co-sleeper bed...
The first night, we went to bed quite early as we were exhausted from the day. Suddenly, there was banging on the door - up to 10 times - before I was awake enough to open the door to 2 service guys from the hotel, giving me some cut fruits and 4 pralines - at 10:30pm!? I was totally confused by the time and behaviour...
Also the personnel wasn't of great help when asked regarding directions, post office, or else...
We just didn't like the experience we had in this hotel.
We stayed at one of the most renowned and historic beach hotels in the Kalutara area for our honeymoon. The experience was memorable, especially when they kindly allowed us to use the hotel premises for our homecoming shoot at no extra charge. The room was spacious, and the views from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking. The washrooms were clean and well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, the Wi-Fi was disappointingly slow, and many of the TV channels were not functioning. Sadly, the buffet was a major letdown. The food lacked flavor and variety, making it a stark contrast to our previous visit, where the dining experience had been far better. Despite some drawbacks, the overall atmosphere and location still made it a noteworthy stay.
