Pros:

We spent three night at this wonderful accomodation (two adults, two children). The accomodation is located at a beautiful, wide and open beach. The outdoor area is very beautifully designed with a large pool and many beach chairs for relaxing.
The rooms are very clean and large. They are built very solidly and are very good isolated. Even on a hot day you need the air conditioning very shortly to cool down the room and it contains the cold for a long time.
The restaurant (including breakfast) was very good and there are some pretty good alternatives for eating and drinking in the area around the accomodation.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Een droombestemming
Pros:

Lankavatara is het paradijs op aarde. Prachtig hotel, heerlijk eten (beste ontbijt à la carte dat we gehad hebben in Sri Lanka - lunch en diner ook heel lekker en verzorgd), mooi groot zwembad, een uitzicht om bij weg te dromen en de allerliefste mensen. Alles klopt hier, over elk detail is nagedacht. Het strand is verlaten en uitgestrekt en leent zich goed voor lange wandelingen. Als je hier niet tot rust komt lukt het nergens.

Cons:

Ik kan echt niks bedenken.

Beautifully relaxing stay
Pros:

Beautifully situated hotel - with great decor and fantastic atmosphere. Set on an unspoilt beach - everything worked so well. Breakfast was delicious and well conceived - you are able to order from a small menu with bread/pastries, juice and coffee as standard. Food in restaurant good - good menu and drinks options. Yoga in the mornings was also a lovely touch.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

Recht aan het strand, geweldige golven om in te duiken, heerlijk zwembad om af te wisselen, daarna in je luie stoel op je veranda met uitzicht. Cocktail bestellen. Tja, what’s not to like?!

Pros:

The rooms were spacious with great views of the beach and ocean with nice design features. Wide windows overlooking the pool and beach. The bathroom and shower were amazing. The hote and pool are lovely. The staff are very warm and welcoming.

Cons:

The hotel is very isolated, which has its positives if you are looking for seclusion such that the beach is pristine with nobody on it all day. It does mean, however, that with no activities or facilities on site that there is limited things to see or do, restaurants, bars, shops etc. The morning yoga is more an hour of breathing exercises. You will need to hire a taxi or tuk tuk to go up the coast as there really isn't anything in Kalimetiya. The food is fairly average given the prices in the hotel restaurant.

Pros:

Świtna lokalizacja. Resort położony przy pięknej mało uczęszczanej plaży. Ostrożnie można się nawett kąpac i walczyć z falami. Otoczenie bardzo ładnie zagospodarowane. Czysty, duży basen. Świetna restauracja. Przemiła obsługa. Pokoje duże czyste z dobrze działającą, cichą klimatyzacją. Wygodne łóżka. Super pobyt.
Polacamy wyprawę na pobliską lagunę- Kalametija.

Cons:

Nic.
