Thank you
Pros:

The accommodation, the staff, and the food were perfect.
If I come back to Sri Lanka, I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

The service is amazing — they even served a drink to our driver, which meant a lot to us. Not every place would do that, and it’s the little details like this that make all the difference. What I especially appreciated was that everyone was treated with the same kindness and respect, and that’s really important 🙂

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was extremely clean and very comfortable. The staff was kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. We were also happy that we had the chance to join yoga classes during our stay, which made the experience even more relaxing.

The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety of dishes every day. Another huge advantage is the close access to the ocean and the beautiful beach just a short walk away. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend this hotel!

A peaceful stay with a lovely upgrade and quiet beach
Pros:

We were very happy with our stay at Lankavatara Ocean Retreat & Spa. We were upgraded to a room with our own sunbeds, which made the stay feel extra special. The beach was quiet and peaceful — perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Cons:

The food at the resort was not the best. The rooms are also quite close to one another, so there may not be as much privacy.

Merveilleuse expérience au calme.
Pros:

Tout était merveilleux ! Une chambre moderne, dans un hôtel moderne et très agréable. Un des rares Hotel avec accès direct à la plage. Un personnel extrêmement aimable et aux petits soins. Un équipement de pointe dans la chambre, une préparation de notre chambre pour notre voyage noce superbe. Sûrement le meilleur hôtel de notre séjour ! Un spa de grande qualité, bien qu’un peu cher.

Cons:

Absolument rien à redire. Il faut noter que l’hôtel n’est pas à Thales même, mais à 30 minutes de la ville. Cela dit, cela contribue au calme que beaucoup de voyageurs peuvent rechercher dans cette région.

Schön am Meer gelegen, Leider ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen
Pros:

Lage am Meer und die Größe der Zimmer. Die Mitarbeiter sind super lieb und kinderfreundlich. Der Strand ist wunderschön! Essen auch sehr gut am Abend.

Cons:

Wir hatten erst die Garten-Suite gebucht. Leider ist diese sehr dunkel und am Parkplatz und voll mit Mücken. Wurden kostenfrei upgegraded. Das war toll. Pool, Schirme und Liegen brauchen unbedingt Erneuerungen.
Frühstück könnte noch abwechslungsreicher sein, wenn man einige Tage da ist.
Die Fotos hier auf booking.com sind schon sehr schön und wahrscheinlich noch aus der Zeit, wo alles neu war.
