Guest UserLankavatara offers a peaceful, secluded escape. The beach is beautiful and, for most of our stay, we had it almost entirely to ourselves. Do be aware that the sea is very rough, so it’s generally not suitable for swimming.
The rooms have a rustic charm with basic amenities. While comfortable enough, I personally wouldn’t rate the property as a 4-star hotel. The Wi-Fi was also quite weak, which may be worth considering if you need a reliable internet connection.
The staff were always willing to help when asked, although the service sometimes felt a little disingenuous and not always delivered with genuine warmth. Food service could also be quite slow at times, so it’s best to allow plenty of time for meals.
One of the highlights of our stay was the surrounding area. A special mention goes to Upoint Restaurant, which serves exceptional home-cooked Sri Lankan seafood. The hosts there were incredibly welcoming and made for a memorable dining experience.
Overall, we had a lovely stay. If you’re looking for a quiet, unspoilt beach, simple accommodation, and don’t mind a more relaxed pace of service, Lankavatara is a pleasant place to unwind.

Guest UserWhat a top stay we had! From the beginning to the end everything was perfectly arranged.
They did everything they could for you, they were always educated and if they weren't working with us, they were working to clean up the stay.
The food was really nice everything was fresh made and tasted super good! Also with our morning safari they provided a top breakfast
The location is top in 30 minutes you are at Yala National Park, you can go to the village with a tuktuk but we thought it was just nice to be outside the safari at the hotel. The swimming pool was enjoyed and relaxed.
It is that we can't give stars anymore because they really deserve this!

We booked this at the last minute due to a change of plans and so just went by the previous reviews but we are so glad we did! It’s a small hotel but with lovely large rooms with private pools. We loved the sunset walk to the beautiful wild beach and our trip to Yala. We didn’t have any problems with wildlife in the shower and loved the feeling of being in such a natural environment. The real selling point of the hotel however is their staff and every one of them went out of their way to help us have a great stay.
Thanks again!

Anonymous Userthe hotel is a wonderful of modern architecture and nature, you can lie comfortably on your bed while watching the monkeys climb down your balcony.
If you are afraid of wild animals, don’t book a ground floor pool suite, rather take a room upstairs.

Hidden away in the jungle, the hotel is beautiful and peaceful. We stayed in the king suite with our own pool and spa and it was the perfect spot to wind down after an active week of climbing, walking and safaris.
We happened to be the only guests on our night stay and everyone made it a lovely experience with taking us for a walk around the lake to see the local wildlife and cooking a bbq right outside our room.
Will definitely stay here again should I find myself back in Sri Lanka.

Сам отель неплохой, именно в этом районе подобных мало. Большой номер, вид отличный, завтрак стандартный, персонал старается. Сам пляж именно перед отелем не очень, но если пройтись левее, там уже поинтереснее. Справа грязноватая рыбацкая деревня. Рядом есть различные кафе, можно что-нибудь выбрать.

Guest UserThis hotel was part of our tour group booking, and it's popular with Western tourists. The room was reasonably clean and tidy. There's no elevator, but the staff were helpful with luggage. The swimming pool was decent, though it got a bit chilly in the evening. The price, which included breakfast and dinner, was quite good. Drinks at dinner cost extra, but the buffet food was pretty good.

A very convenient hotel 30 mins from Yala national park for Safari (which the were kind enough to arrange for us). Nice pool with views over the lagoon and a great spot to sit and watch the sunset, birds flying home for bed/bats on their way out for the night! Staff are great, food was good.
