KK Beach
4.9/542 Reviews
Im very late in posting this, but my wife and I had a lovely stay here for the first 3 nights of our honeymoon trip. The staff were all so lovely and made us feel right at home immediately. An extra special thank you to Kasun who went above and beyond in sorting us out around the pool and escorting us for out swims in the sea! Our only slight issue was that we went out for dinner one night and got back to find the front door was locked with no bell to contact anyone inside. We had not been made aware that this would happen or what to do, so we were stuck outside for a while trying to call someone to open the door! Otherwise it was a great stay and would defintely visit again.
Ahu Bay
4.8/546 Reviews
We visited Ahu Bay to celebrate our anniversary. It's a lovely small hotel for adults and older children (younger kids are not allowed). The rooms are small, but well appointed and very comfortable. We had a direct view of the ocean. The food was excellent. The pool was lovely, and a great place not just for a swim but to also to lounge around and read. The spa was good. The only negative was that the beach is not private AT ALL. Sri Lankan hotels don't generally have private beaches, but often at boutique hotels you get a lot of privacy at the beaches. But in this case there were men hanging around the area right outside our rooms, and it really felt intrusive. During the day every time we stepped onto the beach area there were 4-5 of them hanging around and starting at us, which made us feel very uncomfortable. Wish the hotel could come to some understanding with the locals about this. Other than that our stay was very enjoyable.
Tabula Rasa Resort & Spa
4.5/541 Reviews
We stayed here in March 2024 and had a truly wonderful experience! We had a Dip Pool room which overlooked the jungle and the sea. You truly can watch the monkeys all around you whilst you dip! A magical experience! And the bird song…. Beautiful! We walked nearly every day down through the village to the most stunning beach area- quite often with no one or very few people on it! Walk back is up hill and sultry so take water! The hotel is as amazing as it is, due to the staff! Nothing is ever too much trouble ❤️ we were looked after wonderfully by the team but special thanks to Milinda, Sahan, Akila, Samira and kithmina. They were all so kind and attentive in making sure our stay was special. The food is great, we were half board and were happy to eat at the hotel. The chef, Mohan, was so kind in adapting some dishes for me as I’m pescatarian. Again nothing was too much trouble ❤️ Plenty to do in the area, or not if you’d prefer just to lie back and relax in the hotel. Literally my own criticism is they need more beds around the pool. 4 moveable beds with 2 umbrellas are fine but the built in beds, whilst a nice idea, are in the shade from 10:30 onwards.if the hotel is busy you’ll be in the shade all da. We at least had our room and pool if we couldn’t get a bed but not everyone has the option. I’ve never stayed at a hotel where the staff buy you a leaving gift, with such special thanks to Upeka for that! And also for being such a wonderful human and adding to the ‘special’ of this hotel! An amazing hotel, in a wonderful country with beautiful people ❤️

Thaproban Pavilion Waves Unawatuna
4.4/544 Reviews
Thank you for professional cooperation at the stage of preparing the trainings for dentists on 21.04-07.05.2022 and handling the event. I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to your entire team, and especially to Mr. Sydney. I must emphasize the excellent preparation of the organization and professional service. He flexibly reacted to emerging situations, often exceeding our expectations. Unplanned room changes, additional training rooms or unexpected changes in schedules found great understanding and immediate action. His highly developed interpersonal skills and knowledge of customer service resulted in excellent and effective cooperation with us, ensuring the highest quality of event service. As a customer, I am convinced that he is a great asset to your team and I believe that his managerial skills and attitude benefit your company. We were captivated by the hospitality and friendliness of the entire staff. Special thanks go to the masterchef who every day planned various and delicious meals for us, both in European and Sri Lankan versions, and to Mr. Ravi who helped us when we needed it. Huge applause to the general manager that he was able to gather such a wonderful and committed team in one place. His personal participation had a huge impact on our positive assessment of the organization of this event. The high standards of service we experienced will remain in our memory for a long time. We have heard extremely positive opinions from the participants of our trainings regarding both the facility and the service provided. If you are planning a holiday, business meetings, training or a conference in Sri Lanka, I highly recommend to stay at the Thaproban Pavilion Hotel. It is a beautiful and distinctive facility located in an unusual place. I am convinced that we will return soon during the next foreign training courses in this region of the world. Best regards to the entire hotel team, thank you once again for a wonderful time. You wonderfully complement the pleasant experiences of beautiful Sri Lanka. I wish you a lot of success! Adrian
