Avani Delight.

A very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Can’t fault anything. We were half board and there was an excellent buffet selection including freshly cooked and bbq to suit everyone’s tastes. For me I especially enjoyed the salads and non spicy dishes but the local breakfast I sampled was easy on the palate. Wish I could’ve sampled everything on offer. Loved the way the salads were presented in mini pots as well. We were given breakfast boxes on request to take away our pastries which was excellent. Enjoyed the sunset walks and there’s a shallow sheltered lagoon with soft sand underfoot and that was simply fabulous. Pool was lovely too. Room was serviced very well by Isuru who unfortunately wasn’t there when we left so hope he sees that. Very creative towel sculptures left on the beds everyday and lovely turn down. Thank you Avani! A most enjoyable stay.

4 stjerner, -vel!

Vi ankom på lørdag og følte at vi var relativt usynlig for hotellet de første par dagene med unntak av vikarierende renholdsansvarlig for vårt rom. Vi hadde vanskelig for å forstå at dette er et 4 stjerners hotel. Servicen tok seg betraktelig opp fra mandag da flere av det faste personalet kom på jobb. Området er meget vakkert med en fin strand og et flott og rolig område inn mot lagunen. Imidlertid følte vi at tilgangen til stranden var noe begrenset da vi måtte gå spissrotgang til sjøen for å bade blant svært pågående selgere som ønsket å tilby oss sine tjenester til en mye bedre pris enn hotellet. Det gjorde oss litt fanget innenfor hotellets gjerder. Maten var veldig god og servicen i restaurant og bar tok seg betraktelig opp utover uken. Hotellet bar noe preg av slitasje spesielt i området rundt bassengene hvor tredekket var full av snublekanter og planker som gav etter. Lite som bar preg av HMS fokus. Vi benyttet oss av nabo og samarbeidshottelets SPA service. Dyrt, men meget god service og behandling. Her er det rom for å prute på pris. Vi beveget oss etterhvert rundt i området og møtte mange hyggelige lokale som bøy på seg selv og inviterte oss inn i sine hjem og liv. Totalopplevelse er vel en god 3, men med litt mer innsats fra hotellets ledelse og tilsatte kan dette bli et godt 4 stjerners hotel.

Our holiday was ruined as the hotel failed to tell us prior to our stay they were double booked with a corporate booking and MID STAY (10 night booking) we were told that the following day we would be moved to a different hotel. I have a young toddler under 2 this was extremely upsetting. The hotel they moved us to was complete opposite of the relaxed open plan setting being a horrible high rise that also gave us food poisoning. The hotel knew of the double booing but failed to inform us prior to our stay. We were there as a group with family staying in Avani the neighboring hotel Anantara as we were there for a family memorial. This split up our group and ultimately ruined our whole holiday and our family groups holiday.

Ruhiges Strandhotel zum Relaxen

Im AVANI Resort kann man erholsame Ferien mit Tuktuk-Ausflügen kombinieren. Das Essen am Buffet ist super. Die Zimmer sind nicht sehr gross, aber sauber und werden täglich früh aufgeräumt. In der Minibar gibt es gratis Softdrinks und Wasser. Das Baden im Meer ist wegen des steilen Strandes und des relativ groben Sandes leider nur für Topschwimmer geeignet, aber der Pool ist gross und sauber. Wir liebten die vielen Palmen und Streifenhörnchen. Die Gäste kamen aus vielen verschiedenen Ländern (Europa, Russland, Arabien).

It's a nice hotel with a great location - the river on one side and the sea on the other. But Avani is primarily a family resort with lots of kids and large families as guests! Also they don't have a spa in the premises but guests can use the Anantara spa which is amazing but a little pricey. Even though we had a good time, it just felt that the hotel was a little bland, lacked a certain character..

Beautiful Resort & Room with Excellent Service

I was staying at the Avani Resort for a friend’s wedding. My friend was getting married at the Anantara Kalutara Resort next door and because rooms there were sold out, she recommended booking at the Avani. I was glad I did, because it was just a 5 minute walk to their hotel next door and everything at the Avani was impeccable. The hospitality we experienced from the moment we arrived was warm and welcoming, and the room and amenities were top-notch. The room and bathroom were very clean and spacious - we also had a view of the ocean. There’s a pool and fitness center, the beach is literally a 30 second walk from the pool, and there are a couple restaurants with many types of food options. The food at the restaurant was good, especially the breakfast which comes with many types of juices, fruits, bread, and Sri Lankan specialties. I would 100% stay here again and I would highly recommend this resort to others coming to stay in the area!

Lovely smaller hotel with everything you need

We had a great stay here with our 2 year old. Great pool and the drinks prices were very affordable. Breakfast buffet was good too. The room service menu was a bit limited and quite expensive compared to some of the other hotels we've stayed at. The complimentary soft drinks were a nice touch and they were very kind about providing warm milk for our little one for all his feeds. There was no shower gel or body lotion, which was a bit of a pain as you expect that at hotel chains. But overall we had a great time.

Disappointing

We arrived early morning and they tried to put us in a room that was directly below building works going on with hammering noticeable, this in peak season We then finished up in a room next to the bar and also cleaning facilities which was also very loud The general quality was not what you would expect from a £280 per night resort, with lack of regular maintenance particularly noticeable Food choice was very limited and expensive Transfer cost of £81 from airport was unacceptable, we got there for £5 using bus and train

Totally disppointed

Avani was advertised as a 5 star resort. However we have found that the rooms are more like a 3 star tourist class hotel. Can’t believe that they have patches of rust on the mirror and has a rusty looking IKEA quality bin in the toilet. The rooms are also small. Room amenities are also not good. The swimming pool is tiny and when water Volleyball is played, there is no space to swim. One can only stand in the water. The service of the staff was also poor, particularly those in the restaurants and bar, They are not friendly, not helpful and sometimes almost rude. Food quality in the restaurants are also not good and expensive. Buffet spread is limited and not tasty. The cooked scrambled eggs as if it is a fried egg. Wifi is incredibly unreliable and super slow. It keeps dropping off, making it impossible to surf the net.

Good Hotel - Service First Class

Stayed 3 nights in total over New Year. Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Service was top rate. We left at 4:30 one morning to go on a day trip (with a third party tour guide) and the hotel packed a little breakfast pack for us to to for the journey. Food at breakfast and lunch very good and very reasonable priced. The New Year Hala which we attend (charge is compulsory for staying over new year) was the best New Years party I’ve every been too. To be honest couldnt knock the hotel or Service in anyway. Only thing to be aware of is not much to do in local area. However lots of tours available via hotel

View from balcony was good.

Found some things too expensive and not worth the money. For example bicycle rentals were too expensive and they weren't even in good condition.
