Thayaparan, Sri Lanka

The cabins and the main building are really great, friendly staff and comfortable beds

Carlos, Venezuela

The location, the external areas, the pools, the views, the river boat trip, the natural surroundings and the breakfast.

Ismael, Qatar

- Standard rooms are comfortable, - the pool area is nice, - quality/price of drinks/snacks at the pool area bar is OK (although beef burger ordered came back from the kitchen dry and cold, you also have to search hard to find the chicken in the chicken wrap)

Average, Sri Lanka

Nice how the property integrates nature and kept so many trees. It's also nice how they label the trees and plants. The place has charm and the boat ride to the property is lovely. The menu selection was large and the serving sizes were large. The grounds were clean and the interior of the villa was clean.

Mark, United States of America

Lovely comfortable beds in quiet, clean rooms listening to waves breaking. Staff were lovely and arriving by traditional foot ferry is fantastic.

Dforbes99, United Kingdom

Good location for visiting. Nice and quiet. Lovely pool in the greenery. Kind and helpful staff.

Lorenza57, Italy

Lovely tranquil location, spacious facilities and lovely staff

Robyn, United Kingdom

Arriving by boat gave it a special feel. Our bungalow accommodation was very nice & only a few metres from the beach, with views of the ocean from our patio. The pool area was very clean with more than enough well spaced out sunbeds for the guests.

S, United Kingdom

We upgraded to a deluxe bungalow and it was well worth it. The bed was cozy, and the bathroom was bright, clean, and spacious. It was right on the beach, and the pool was really nice.

There was no Wi-Fi in the room. The Wi-Fi in the main building was very poor, slow and kept cutting out. Our bed felt like it had a thermal mattress cover & we only had a duvet when a cotton sheet would have been preferable. We only stayed here one night during our 2 weeks in Sri Lanka & this was our worst dinner and breakfast on the island. The evening self service buffet felt like being in a cheap canteen, everybody spending more time foraging for food than sat eating it! We would have preferred restaurant dining. The canteen opened at set times so those who were hungry sat in an area with all the atmosphere of a hospital waiting area! Drinks cost treble anywhere else in Sri Lanka so nobody was drinking, this didn't help the sombre atmosphere! The hotel is quite isolated. After eating there was nothing to do and nowhere to go, so it was back to the waiting area to try using the Wi-Fi again while waiting for bed. Breakfast was no better with queuing to use the only toaster & an even longer wait for freshly cooked eggs.
Arriving by boat gave it a special feel. Our bungalow accommodation was very nice & only a few metres from the beach, with views of the ocean from our patio. The pool area was very clean with more than enough well spaced out sunbeds for the guests.

There were wood termites in our room. It was very pricy compared to anywhere else in Sri Lanka. Prices are displayed in € which is a bit deceptive, and the exchange rate was a bit of a rip off. The decking around the pool was aged and had holes in it, perhaps a little dangerous. The food was laid out in buffet format. It wasn’t the worst, but for what you’re paying one might expect the option of a fancier restaurant. They had no Jameson Whiskey. It was raining.
We upgraded to a deluxe bungalow and it was well worth it. The bed was cozy, and the bathroom was bright, clean, and spacious. It was right on the beach, and the pool was really nice.

We booked a room for 3 adults but when we checked in the Hotel said that it was only a room for two. The hotel lacked staff to serve the guests in the Hotel and we had to stay over 40 minutes to have a cup of Tea & cake.
The location was excellent. The Kayaking facility was enjoyed very much.

Ranwelli seem to let out the holiday village to large groups of corporate groups who seem to enjoy whiskey and swimming, this left not much room in the pool for the guests of the hotel. We had to ask the hotel to move rooms as the first room was damp. Around the pool the decking was broken and rotten so quite easy to put your foot through it. Which for small children running around could be a big problem. Drinks were quite expensive at the bar £5 for a bottle of local Lion beer. I’ve stayed at Ranwelli at least 6 times before and each time it was a wonderful experience. I now think it’s just tired and starting to look run down. Unfortunately I won’t stay again.
The Location is fantastic

“Be careful of standard room and also exchange rate”

Please be careful, don't just look at the beautiful photos and book a standard room, the standard room is not the one as in the photos but it's an apartment in the back which is 2 or 3 floors, when we get there we thought we'll be placed on the comfortable rooms on the beach, but actually they took us to the apartments then we had to pay extra money ( almost the price for one night of a standard room) to upgrade our room. not professional at all. also exchange rate is so bad.
