Eva Lanka Hotel

Nice calm environment for family and very helpful staff. Well organized and user friendly environment. Spacious and clean

Nothing

Beach was very nice. Room was clean and comortable with a great view. Pools were nice, food was very good, and the staff was very kind, helpful, and fun.

Everything was wonderful

Stunning location, best beaches in Sri Lanka and hardly anyone on them. Property was very peaceful with lovely gardens. Hotel manager was very accommodating, did everything to make our stay enjoyable.

Food a bit pricey, so we chose to eat dinner outside the property. Buffet dinner a bit disappointing for the price, not a lot of meat options - mainly vegetarian.

We travelled in Sri Lanka for over three weeks in December/ January and stayed at several hotels in different regions. Eva Lanka was for us the overall best experience. The hotels location is absolute fantastic with a beautiful, lush, large and well maintaned garden overlooking the ocean, lots of flower, animals and birds (I counted at least 15 species of birds in the garden) and two nice and clean saltwater pools. We stayed for 9 nights, both in a bungalow and in one of the newer 2- store buildings. AC worked fine, rooms big and well designed/clean and both with a stunning ocean view. We also liked the set up/design of the lobby and restaurant departments. The hotel was one of the first built in the area, and of course it has some patina, for us it only contributed with charm and a personal touch. Staff service was excellent, food good (not exceptional), with both continental and Sri Lankan breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wifi worked ok, not an important issue in paradise. Manju, the manager, David & Franscesca, the owners, made us feel like we where at home. So friendly and caring. Sara in the reception, is now like a daughter for us. On top of that a fantastic private beach with a basic but funky local restaurant. No problems swimming in the ocean if you are observent and used to open sea, my 11 years old loved it and we spotted lot of corall fish snorkling around the rock reefs (masks free of charge from hotel). In walking distance you have several quiet beaches and we used the hotels surfboards free of charge. You can acces Unakuruwa beach by feet (800 meters on a trail). Nice break point, not much people and a small but great surfcenter (Bay Tour Surf Center) and a few, low budget, beach restaurants. My son and I walked there everyday and connected to the local surfers, that were super friendly. We would absolutely return to Eva Lanka, a perfect spot if you like nature, water activities, relaxed atmosphere and tranquility.

The massage treatments where great. Hotel surroundings beautiful beach under hotel amazing staff very helpful and friendly.

Breakfast was poor menu not much chose.
