Close to Everything 🌊

This place is conveniently located near the town and the beautiful Indian Ocean beach. I scored a room with amazing views of the lush garden and the water - it was stunning!

The breakfast with the talented chefs, tropical fruit, coffee or tea was savoury for what you got.

They provided a tasty and delicious breakfast with the talented chefs and excellent many varieties, as for instance. There was a well-maintained room with lagoon view. The location in a very unique area was stunning and magnificent. The airport...  

The location is fantastic, with a charming shop nearby and a secluded beach within easy reach.

Staff is friendly, excellent location.

Terrible wi-fi, poor menu in the cafe, no elevator, noisy Saturdays.

Atmosphere was relaxed and staff were helpful and friendly. The situation between the sea and the lagoon is good as it provides two distinctly different aspects, one is beach and pool, the other is wildlife and more natural. The room was good...  

The breakfast was delicious with a variety of options like coffee, tea, and tropical fruits, I didn't want to leave and would definitely come back.

A very comfortable place with an easy going lifestyle

The food was bland and overpriced. The service in the restaurant was ill-mannered (e.g. asking for a Lions beer, getting an Anchor beer with the comment it is the same company, while they have a good Lions on the tap)

Hotel staff were very helpful and location of the Hotel is great! Hotel located exactly where Bentota river goes into Ocean, in my opinion best place to spend honeymoons.

food variety in the hotel restaurants are poor, there are only 2 restaurants and 2 bars only.

We had a fantastic stay at Avani! The location was quiet and great, with one side facing a lagoon and the other side the ocean. The staff was friendly and provided good support. Although breakfast wasn't a buffet due...  

The pictures on their website and Booked.net is nothing like what the hotel is like and the room is a lot smaller and alot older than the pictures. The staff are so slow in getting your orders. I would have definitly stayed in an another hotel had I known. Certainly not value for money and it shouldn't be 4 stars.

My fiance and I were traveling to be married at the hotel. The staff arranged our wedding perfectly, and far exceeded our expectations in their professional and polite manner. We felt well taken care of, with our happiness their primary concern. I would recommend this venue to any couples, as the areas was beautiful, the staff amazing, and the rooms clean and comfortable.

We have no complaints regarding our stay.

This seaside hotel is in an ideal location, providing beautiful views of both the sea and lagoon. the facilities are very decent, with a nicely maintained swimming pool and a great breakfast buffet that offers many options. Rooms offer great views of either the lagoon or sea with balconies to relax on to take in the beautiful scenery. On the beach, lifeguards are positioned because the sea can be a little rough during the ongoing south-west monsoon.

The staff service could benefit from more training as some previous guests have mentioned highlighted issues with room service and wait times for refreshments.

The Spa was outstanding. The massage I had was the best I have had anywhere in the world and it took place overlooking the river. Absolutely beautiful and very good value. The breakfasts were good including freshly cooked omelettes.

There was limited space to eat meals, including breakfast, outside. The sunbeds and towels were old and showing signs of wear. There was no a la carte menu available and only a buffet which I hate!

the staff sometimes appeared to have conversations in their own language in the middke if dealing with guest queries or complaints. No diet cole available in the hotel.
