If you look for the calm and ralaxing holidays that is the right place for you. Hotel is situated between the river from one side an the ocean from another side, so there is no noise and vibrant buzz from the streets life at the city.

We returned to Ranweli in April this year, having previously visited in April 2010. We were really pleased to find that not too much had changed. The wave of peace and tranquillity that greets you as you cross the water to the hotel is still really special and it was nice to be remembered by so many members of staff.... More

We spent a ten day break at the Ranweli and had a wonderful experience. We stayed in one of the upgraded air conditioned lodges and it was excellent. The food was excellent throughout the stay with a great variety and some great tastes and flavours of Sri Lanka. There was always a range of western meals, which the German guests... More

This was the last of the hotels in our 16 day tour of Sri Lanka, and what a finale. What a wonderful way to enter a hotel complex. Leaving the car on one side of the river, we were transported by ferry into the hotel grounds, by a very friendly ferryman - indeed all of the staff were friendly. We... More

The bungalows are large and have everything you need. The bathroom has a glass roof so you can really feel part of where you are. There is a... More

It was from the entrance ferry pointed up to the departure to the exit, we had overall and excellent service from... More

We, a group of three Indian couples, landed weary. Poor reception, no bell boy, unhelpful boatman, and indifferent staff greeted us on arrival. We had to wait 15 minutes before deciding to carry our own luggage across the river. To be fair, later, the customer relations manager apologised for the shoddy reception. But the damage to reputation of the resort... More

The location, rooms and the surrounding of the hotel is good. But the service was very poor. I was at the hotel with a group of eight on this last week end, and it was my worst experience ever. We picked Ranweli Holiday resorts over Club dolphin due to the conversation had with Mr. Tharanga and Ms Shanuka of the... More
