Avani Kalutara Resort

5* hotel booked to end our trip in style. Bar staff and cleaners were super happy, polite and love to great the guests in the hotel. Reception staff were generally unhelpful. I tried to book activities and excursions, but was initially told to go the hotel next door before being given a random book While trying to sort late check out one receptionist began serving another customer over my head. Late check out was eventually agreed to which was helpful but after being sat face to face in silence for minutes. Facilities are wonderful. Nice private beach, great pool area. Two bars and buffet style restaurant with ala carte option. Locals got charged significantly less for our event dinner. Some would say that's fair, others would disagree, but not being transparent probably suggests it was trying to be hidden. Service wasn't 5*. When we arrived our bedding was ripped and had a huge hole in it. Thankfully this was fixed, but I think atleast 2/3 people came to check before it was resolved.

Excellent and friendly staff. Foods also excellent . Property environment and designe is good. Peaceful environment .

I had a truly wonderful experience at Avani. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home and cared for like a king. A special thank you to Tharindi for her warm smile and kindness, which always brightened my days, and to all the staff who were consistently so friendly and welcoming. The room was spotless thanks to Ananda, whose attention to detail was impressive, and I deeply appreciated the great care and dedication of Bandara, the Food and Beverage Manager, who made every meal a delight. The atmosphere of the hotel is beautiful and relaxing, and the staff made my stay unforgettable. I left feeling serene, carefree, and always greeted with a smile. I can’t wait to come back – highly recommended!
