Had a stay at this beautiful, cozy hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. The highlight was the food—delicious and the buffet exceeded expectations. Service was friendly and attentive. The live band added to the experience, doing a great job of entertaining the crowd.

An ordinary resort, where the most beautiful thing is the direct access to the beach. The facilities are old and not well maintained, it gives you the impression of being dirty. Prices for beverages and food are quite high. We wanted to have the dinner buffet and 3 staff members asked us 3 different prices...

The highlight of our visit was definitely the sports area. Provided endless entertainment for everyone. Whether you're looking to relax or stay active, this hotel has something for everyone. Highly recommend Mermaid Hotel & Club for a memorable and enjoyable getaway

The hotel mermaid We have a great time during our full-day reservation with full board. The experience is excellent from the moment we check in, when they kindly refresh us. We often update it. In every way, the staff is quite helpful. The pool is clean and the buffet is well-tasted and presented in a tasteful manner. Pool employees bring considerate individuals. We take great pleasure in it. It's a great spot to spend the day with a play area, water polo, spa, and gym. We reserved a room with a sea view, which was fine. Our first stay at this hotel was excellent; the room was really nice, and it's a reasonably priced hotel that comes highly recommended

Such a great hotel! This hotel will be your place to celebrate any special milestones of yours. I managed to give my husband a surprise for his birthday and the staff of the hotel was so cooperative and supportive. They arranged our bed with beautiful decorations which I did not expect. Thank you.

Room is spacious but better to add good amenities to make good appearance. Better to add more food selection for buffet. There was an issue with water kettle and response was very poor from house keeping and reception, and finally I had to contact duty manager to correct it. We had bad experience when entering to hotel for parking.

We recently stayed at this hotel, expecting a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. The hotel was fully booked and overcrowded, making it difficult to enjoy any of the services. We were excited for the buffet dinner, but it was the worst buffet I have ever had at a 4-star hotel. There was only one meat option (chicken) with no variety at all. The breakfast and lunch the next day were no better, with the fewest choices I’ve ever seen. On top of that, there were no towels in the room when we arrived. Despite several calls to the front desk, we had to wait a long time to get them. We also asked for an extra water bottle, but were told to refill the one we had – something I've never heard from a hotel before. The worst part was when a room service supervisor entered our room without knocking, even though we hadn’t checked out yet. It was 12:20 p.m., and my wife was still getting ready. We hadn't handed over our key cards or officially checked out, so this was completely unacceptable. Overall, this experience was far below what we expected from a 4-star hotel. We won’t be coming back and I would not recommend this hotel any one.

1. Variety and Selection: A good buffet offers a wide range of options catering to diverse tastes and dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten-free, vegan, etc.). Ensure there is a balance between local, international, and seasonal dishes. 2. Quality of Food: Freshness and flavor are critical. The buffet should maintain consistent quality across different dishes, with attention to presentation, seasoning, and temperature. 3. Service: Attentive and friendly staff play a big role. They should be quick to clear used plates, replenish food, and be available for requests. Proper labeling of dishes (allergen info, dietary labels) is also important.

Our family of three enjoyed the three day, two night visit thoroughly. If you like walking, you can enjoy peaceful beach walks or use the shady, tree lined paths. You can even walk around the large pool. The meals were excellent with many fruit choices for dessert and breakfast. My family particularly liked the salad and dessert bars. Servers were also friendly and helpful. There was a good choice for vegetarians and others. We also enjoyed the free happy hour drinks and music in the lobby. We made use of the pool and the well equipped gym and darts. The staff at both were friendly and helpful. Front office staff greeted us with a smile and processed both check in and check out efficiently. Thanks Turyaa! We look forward to returning some day.

I recently went there for a day out with my friends. We had a fantastic day out at the hotel! The international buffet was delightful with a wide variety of dishes, and we were very satisfied with the quality and selection. Since our group had more than 14 people, we received a room for free. The pool was well-maintained and added to our enjoyable experience. The room and bathroom were clean, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a wonderful time, and can recommend this hotel for stays.

Had a chance to spend a day in this resort, and it was amazing. It has a lovely atmosphere and one of the best pools I've ever been to. The beach view is breathtaking, but most of the beach is lost due to sea erosion over time, but there is a usable public beach next to the hotel which is easily accessible. The buffet at the resort had an array of dishes that were both delicious and healthy. The staff is very attentive and friendly towards guests as well. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and have a balcony where you can enjoy the pool view.

Travelling Lankan (travellinglankan)

One of the best hotels in this area. Rooms were quiet spacious, Hotel has a good vibe. Almost all the rooms has a good view of the ocean and the huge pool as well. One of the best features in this hotel is it's swimming pool. Restaurant with quite nice and the staff in the restaurant was very helpful and very friendly. Only downside was the front desk. Specially, Tharindu at the front desk had a very negative impact on local guests. When I was in the reception he was asking me to go back and let the foreigners skip the line. Even the foreigner thought it was rude and the foreigner asked me not to. I am travelling quite often and that situation was quite awkward and unpleasant for me as well. If it wasn't for Mr. Tharindu at the front desk, it was a perfect stay..

Bimsara Wickramarathne

We went there for the annual trip of our office and had a wonderful stay at this hotel. From the beginning to the end their hospitality was so great. Their service staff at the buffet was so friendly and helpful. Rooms were spacious and well equipped with all the necessities and fully stocked with everything you need. Food was really good and got to try most of their dishes in several buffets and all were delicious. Should mention about their desserts because those were the best I ever had and highly recommend to try those. Other than few incidents where some of our friends had lost their luggages due to bad handling overall experience was good. Highly recommend this place for a nice calm stay.

My stay at Avani Kalutara Resort was truly memorable. The hotel is stunning, offering a calm, clean, and peaceful environment with its own private beach – perfect for anyone seeking relaxation. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ensuring a pleasant experience. Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of delicious options to suit all tastes. The facilities were excellent, with comfortable beds, a well-equipped gym, and a nearby spa. Although the gym was a bit warm during my visit, the team were actively working to resolve the air conditioning issue. For a serene getaway with great service and beautiful surroundings, I highly recommend Avani Kalutara Resort.

Roshinara Adhihetty

Hospitality was excellent entrance to exit! Homely and warm ambience. Service levels surpassed expectations. Room for improvement in the food department. Not great and to be very honest it was very basic. Too spicy and no value for money, considering the high rates we paid.

Annie Thompson

Avani has been an outstanding place to stay while we were visiting Sri Lanka. The exceptional staff in all areas of the hotel made our stay welcoming and enjoyable. From the reception staff, restaurant, bar, lifeguard and the security. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We extended our stay because we loved it so much. We travelled with our 8 month old and our fantastic housekeeping staff member Nimal made sure our room was clean and hazard free during our stay. The kitchen staff prepared our baby some mashed vegetables and offered other items. The dining staff were very attentive and helpful. The breakfast included was delicious. Avani has the best location, the grounds are kept immaculate, there is a lovely walk along the beach and lagoon. It is away from the hustle and bustle. Our room was the deluxe lagoon room which was very spacious and allowed plenty of room for our baby to crawl around freely and safely. The whole vibe is very relaxed and we felt very safe at all times. We will definitely stay again.

Peminda Jayasekara

Avani was a great visit for me. The hotel is well maintained. Rooms and cleaned and new. Staff from General Manager to bottom is polite and nice. Food is great and delicious. There are many events you can enjoy during the stay.
