The area is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. You can hear the waves crashing in the background. The bathrooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and best part is the kind, helpful and caring staff. The owner had breakfast ready every morning and dinner at anytime you requested. Also spoke to my taxi driver for me to give directions which I would not have been able to do on my own. Thanks so much for all your hospitality:)

The breakfast buffet was very good and the quality of treatments at the spa did not disapoint.
However, we were disappointed with the general professionalism of the staff considering it is a 5 star resort. The staff was kind and friendly but just not up to the standard one would expect of a 5 star hotel. Here are a few examples: at the pool we ordered some food and when we were going to sign for the bill, the waiter said they had made a mistake and charged us for a dish that was 0.50 USD more than what we had ordered. He asked us if we didn't mind paying the extra amount so that they didn't need to redo the bill. Of course we didn't mind as its such a small difference (so we accepted) but out of principle, if a mistake is made by the staff, they should know to just fix the error rather than asking the guest to make up for their mistake (however small). We were also disappointed at dinner that the two a la carte restaurants were only open on alternate nights as it meant we couldn't get a table until 9 pm which is late with kids. Also the first wines we tried to order were out of stock. Finally on the second night at the Italian, three of the dishes we chose were unavailable. This is understandable as it is end of season, but again is not expected at a 5 star hotel. That said, the quality of the food at the Italian was really very good.
As for the rooms, although comfortable, the extra maintenance effort is lacking. The hot and cold water in the shower was very difficult to control; the light in the small magnifying mirror in the bathroom was not working and the main telephone in the room did not work.
Lastly, we visited the spa and although the overall experience was very good and the therapists were experienced, it was disappointing to have to wait over half an hour (after our scheduled appointment time) for our treatments.
Overall, this felt more of a 3-4 star hotel than 5 star.

The hotel itself probably needs an uplift e.g. pool deck is old, pool lounge chairs are broken, walls need a new coat of paint, however we enjoyed our stay as the pool and hotel surroundings are quite nice. Food at the restaurant was surprisingly good. Room was large and air cond worked well, beds are big. Bathroom needs updating but shower was strong and good temperature. Overall, a good hotel but don’t expect 5 stars.

A short distance from Colombo, Katutura is ideal for a long weekend if you are based in Colombo. There are plenty of things to see in the area and you can always arrange a visit to Galle through your hotel.

Just the right location.
Just the right location. Not too far from Colombo but has the nice secluded feel, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Close to a lot of places to visit - Kalutara temple, Bentota for water sports, Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery.
Overall, a great place to be in!!

The area is quite, and not far from water sports activities. The problem is that there are no decent restaurants or coffees near by. You are opted to only eat at the hotel, unless you are adventurous. You are better off to go a bit more south or north and close to the capital to find reasonable restaurants and coffees etc. If you like to each and just stay within the resort then you will be OK as hotels in the area offer everything you need.

Kalutara is a great place for a short stay.
Kalutara is a great place for a short stay. While it is not as crowded with tourists and activities when compared with her neighbouring districts Colombo and Galle, it is quite special in it's own simplicity. The sights generally known to see are few and are quite close too each other. A day to sightsee and enjoy the city, a day to enjoy the hotel and it's facilities and a day for the beach and surrounding neighbourhood is in my opinion the ideal way to plan a trip to Kalutara.
The best place you must visit in my opinion is Jeoffrey Bava's garden. The place is great to walk around, take some beautiful photos and run around a little.
My girlfriend and I recently stayed at the Turyaa, and we had a pleasant experience. The dinner and breakfast included in our half-board package were delicious and offered a wide variety of options. The staff was generally friendly, although we did encounter a few who seemed a bit cunning. The hotel had two pools, and the larger one was particularly enjoyable. We also loved the nice sea view from our room, and the facilities were in good condition. Overall, we had a comfortable and satisfying stay.
The property is amazing, huge area with all facilities inside. We got the ocean view room which was quite huge with a lovely view. The staff was super friendly and hospitable they made sure we had a comfortable stay. Food was tasty and good varierty. Relaxing atmosphere with all recreation activites inside. Liked the pool area and beach accessibility.
One of the best properties in Sri Lanka i stayed at.
Would definitely recommend for a family or couple getaway and would like to visit again.
We stayed here for 4 weeks, and it was the best time we had in Sri Lanka. The whole house is beautiful and the private pool is fantastic.
The hosts Judy and Neil were so amazing, couldn't do enough for us. The whole apartment was excellent. It was very well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean.
The area is nice and they can arrange transport and advise on places to visit.
Thank you Judy and Neil, we came as guests and left as friends, thoroughly recommend staying here.
Everything
We stayed in the Villa, it’s one of the best in the world.
Located in Rubber and Cinnamon trees farm.
The staff were super friendly specially Ajith made sure our stay was super comfortable.
The food was good, i think they could do better.
Overall i will always recommend this place to anyone visiting Sri Lanka
The location and proximity to the beach can't be beaten. This hotel is only an hour from Colombo. The rooms are large and very clean and the staff bend over backwards to ensure you enjoy your stay, nothing is too much trouble. The food is fine and there is something for everyone, of course the local dishes are excellent!
Thanks to the friendly restaurant services provided by the hotel. Not only were the dining options delicious, but the level of attentiveness and care we received from the restaurant staff was outstanding. Ms Ruwanthika, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experiences were pleasant and memorable.
The hosts were perfect and could not have done more for us. We had some trouble finding the place, but they came to meet us where we had stopped and guided us to the hotel. Rooms are spacious and so close to the beach. If you want a quiet, private place to enjoy the beach and local area, this place is for you.
Our stay at Avani hotel was quite enjoyable. Impressed by the exceptional staff service and gym facilities. The food was really good and we appreciated the unlimited water access. Additionally, the spa service was great and of course the beautiful sunsets from the beach.
Great food and selection.
Room was big with great views and very clean. Power points for all types of plugs was useful.
Staff are very friendly and owner can take you on tour around which was great.
Right on the beach so is a great spot.
Fabulous hotel for quiet relaxing stay. Right on the beach. Loungers, mattresses , towels all supplied. No need to ask they bring them straight out to you. Fabulous friendly service. Restaurant on site for whatever you want. Loved it here.
