Lanka Beach Hotel

The positive points about this hotel were:

* The room was clean on arrival, and cleaned during the four days of our stay
* The Air Conditioner worked well and was quiet
* There was a refrigerator in our room
* Swiming pool, and hotel on the beach-front

The negative points were:

* No visa facilities!! The excuse was "The machine fell off the counter yesterday, and will be fixed soon".
* No wifi!! The excuse was "Something is wrong with the connection"
Had to use the nextdoor hotel's wifi, but that took 3 days to organise!
* No phone in room. To contact reception, you had to go downstairs and find a staff member, to make a
local call, you had to find the senior staff and use their mobile phone.
* Only 3 TV channels and none in English
* Laundry service took 3 days to return laundry. Even then the garments weren't completely dry.
* Menue had lots of choices, but not many were available! What we did eat was delicious, and large
portions
* On the last day of our stay we were informed that there would be no mid-day and evening
meals available for guests, due to a private party being held at the hotel!! WHAT??

Friendly but simpele hotel.. staff is friendly and helpfull. Kids where happy with pool because of red flag not possible to swim in sea.
Room, pool, food expect nothing more
No boutique, chique, experience just a room and bed and helpfull staff

Bad wifi and rooms had some bugs...location is good otherwise ..you get what u pay for.

Stayed here as I only needed a place to rest before a midnight ride to the airport.

Hotel is fine for a quick stop. The pool wasn't filled at the time. The room was very clean and the reception were quite friendly. We were out late one night, however, and there was no one at reception to let us in. A local tried to ring reception for us but we got in a side door in the end.
