    early pool closure
    missed night swim

    we had a wonderful stopover that exceeded my expectations from previous visits to kalutara. the friendly staff provided exceptional service, and the food was delightful, especially the fresh seafood. the lagoon view room was spacious, making it the perfect retreat for our family.

    pool closing early was a bummer.

    Autumn vacation paradise with breathtaking views

    I had an amazing stay with my family in the Avani Lagoon View Room. The buffet was a highlight, with a vast selection of delicious options and beautiful presentations that made every meal delightful. The pool area was fantastic for the kids, and the staff went out of their way to ensure our experience was perfect. I do wish the in-room decor felt more modern and fresh.

    great service
    fresh fruits

    Perfect for a Solo Traveler in Need of Relaxation

    I had a good stay! Especially a gentleman named Mr Dinesh, provided great room service, going above and beyond to. Each morning, I'd return from my runs to find fresh fruits artistically arranged in my room.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but the quality made it acceptable.

    The buffet spread was a feast! I absolutely loved the creative salad presentations and the local breakfast that was both fresh and gentle on the palate. Plus, the pool was like a dream, making it hard to leave! 🍽️🏊‍♂️

    Also, the room felt a tad dated, and that stagnant water feature? Not ideal for the mosquitoes! 😅
