The pool was clean and had a pleasant temperature. The small restaurant is also convenient and the staff on site very nice.

The breakfast buffet was very good and the quality of treatments at the spa did not disapoint.
However, we were disappointed with the general professionalism of the staff considering it is a 5 star resort. The staff was kind and friendly but just not up to the standard one would expect of a 5 star hotel. Here are a few examples: at the pool we ordered some food and when we were going to sign for the bill, the waiter said they had made a mistake and charged us for a dish that was 0.50 USD more than what we had ordered. He asked us if we didn't mind paying the extra amount so that they didn't need to redo the bill. Of course we didn't mind as its such a small difference (so we accepted) but out of principle, if a mistake is made by the staff, they should know to just fix the error rather than asking the guest to make up for their mistake (however small). We were also disappointed at dinner that the two a la carte restaurants were only open on alternate nights as it meant we couldn't get a table until 9 pm which is late with kids. Also the first wines we tried to order were out of stock. Finally on the second night at the Italian, three of the dishes we chose were unavailable. This is understandable as it is end of season, but again is not expected at a 5 star hotel. That said, the quality of the food at the Italian was really very good.
As for the rooms, although comfortable, the extra maintenance effort is lacking. The hot and cold water in the shower was very difficult to control; the light in the small magnifying mirror in the bathroom was not working and the main telephone in the room did not work.
Lastly, we visited the spa and although the overall experience was very good and the therapists were experienced, it was disappointing to have to wait over half an hour (after our scheduled appointment time) for our treatments.
Overall, this felt more of a 3-4 star hotel than 5 star.

The hotel itself probably needs an uplift e.g. pool deck is old, pool lounge chairs are broken, walls need a new coat of paint, however we enjoyed our stay as the pool and hotel surroundings are quite nice. Food at the restaurant was surprisingly good. Room was large and air cond worked well, beds are big. Bathroom needs updating but shower was strong and good temperature. Overall, a good hotel but don’t expect 5 stars.

A short distance from Colombo, Katutura is ideal for a long weekend if you are based in Colombo. There are plenty of things to see in the area and you can always arrange a visit to Galle through your hotel.

Just the right location.
Just the right location. Not too far from Colombo but has the nice secluded feel, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Close to a lot of places to visit - Kalutara temple, Bentota for water sports, Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery.
Overall, a great place to be in!!

The area is quite, and not far from water sports activities. The problem is that there are no decent restaurants or coffees near by. You are opted to only eat at the hotel, unless you are adventurous. You are better off to go a bit more south or north and close to the capital to find reasonable restaurants and coffees etc. If you like to each and just stay within the resort then you will be OK as hotels in the area offer everything you need.

Kalutara is a great place for a short stay.
Kalutara is a great place for a short stay. While it is not as crowded with tourists and activities when compared with her neighbouring districts Colombo and Galle, it is quite special in it's own simplicity. The sights generally known to see are few and are quite close too each other. A day to sightsee and enjoy the city, a day to enjoy the hotel and it's facilities and a day for the beach and surrounding neighbourhood is in my opinion the ideal way to plan a trip to Kalutara.
The best place you must visit in my opinion is Jeoffrey Bava's garden. The place is great to walk around, take some beautiful photos and run around a little.
One of our favourite places in our month trip around Sri Lanka. Victor and his family were so lovely and welcoming, they made us a delicious vegetarian curry for dinner, great breakfast, clean and spacious room and really nice outdoor area. We had our own tuktuk so it was a perfect spot to break up the drive between Unawatuna and Negombo… wish we could’ve stayed longer here! Thanks for such a lovely stay we hope to visit you all again soon 😊
The place was so scenic, next to the beach you see the waves and hear the waves from your room. The staff was so helpful and kind. They have breakfast, Lunch, and dinner options you have to order prior. So close to town you can get anything. Keells and FoodCity are all 200m away. A lot of foreigners are on the guests by the road. The place was renovated but has the old majestic look. Kalutara beach is near by.
The breakfast was wonderful, served fresh everyday by Stanley at what ever time we wanted it.
Omelette of my choice and Sri Lankan sausages followed by toast and marmalade. This was followed by a fresh fruit salad prepared by Stanley or Sisi ( Sisi is the owner). All served with a pot or two of Ceylon tea.
Nothing was to much trouble for these two wonderful guys.
This was a surprise trip arranged for my father on his birthday. I really appreciate the support of Turyaa staff especially Dumindu from the reception who massively helped me arranging the surprise cake for him. Lovely place and even I’ve been to the property more than 5 times and would love to pay a visit when I’m back in Sri Lanka.
We had a great experience with the Hibiscus Beach hotel & Villas at Kalutara Sri Lanka. Staff was incredibly helpful and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful and clean. The staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Sri Lanka.
Breakfast was very good. The rooms were very big. Thanks to Villas manager Krish , that did his best to make our stay unforgettable in this hotel. The pool area Aqualina and manager Sampath are very good at their job too. Housekeeping service is also very good. Thanks for everything.
The hotel owner Nilanthi was very friendly. His attitude very well, and food was natural as we wanted.. We travelled 7 days, but this hotel was best one... Even many hotel more was more expensive, but was not good. I am happy.

Clean spacious well equipped rooms.
Beautiful location and great sea view.
Good food and great delicious breakfast buffet.
Great parking facilities.
Live music at coffee shop which was quite welcoming.
Tangerine is one hotel we have seen over the years has improved in every aspect. Their staff is the best when it comes to customer service. Food is top notch with so many varieties to choose from. All in all very high value for money you pay.
Fabulous hotel for quiet relaxing stay. Right on the beach. Loungers, mattresses , towels all supplied. No need to ask they bring them straight out to you. Fabulous friendly service. Restaurant on site for whatever you want. Loved it here.

Our stay at Avani Kalutara was amazing. The staff were all so so helpful and lovely and always made sure we had everything we needed and more. It was a really perfect stay and we hope to return there some day! The hotel was beautiful.
This hotel was just amazing ! With 3 mins walking you can find a good beach to swim but it is little bit rough but still usable ❤️ and the uncle who take care of this villa is so nice and a kind person ! I highly recommend this place
