We had a lovely spacious room / bathroom and a private terrace overlooking an amazing garden. We also had a fridge and use of a small kitchen. Breakfast was lovely. The staff were lovely too! It was great to have the swimming pool in such a gorgeous setting. Karl was a wonderful host. He was so helpful and relaxed and accommodating. Nothing was a problem. He's also great fun. We had a lovely stay.

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.
We stayed here for 4 weeks, and it was the best time we had in Sri Lanka. The whole house is beautiful and the private pool is fantastic.
The hosts Judy and Neil were so amazing, couldn't do enough for us. The whole apartment was excellent. It was very well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean.
The area is nice and they can arrange transport and advise on places to visit.
Thank you Judy and Neil, we came as guests and left as friends, thoroughly recommend staying here.
Staff was so friendly, on time tea, on time breakfast.
Very reasonable amount charged for the breakfast (SL) String Hoppers served with Coconut sambol + Dhal curry more than enough for a family with just one year old baby
Ocean view is phenomenal, night ocean sound and wind get you an adventures feeling.
A/C worked smoothly no sound, water pressure and hot water definitely worth 10/10 scores.
Very clean, and friendly place, classical Sri Lankan environment
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.
The room we were given had stunning views. So close to the palm lined beach and perfectly aligned for watching beautiful sunsets. The best view of any hotel during 3 months in Sri Lanka. All the staff were so helpful and the delicious breakfasts were always served with a smile. All facilities available that you would expect in a modern hotel. Highly recommended.
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.
The staff were very nice, friendly and helpful despite the large number of guests. We thought the food was delicious! It catered very well to the Sri Lankan palate. Room was big and comfy. The bar was wonderful, with a range of food and drink and lovely ambiance. The gardens were nice with good access to the beach.
The owner and staff were very helpful and they always made sure we had everything we needed. The location is amazing, right in front of the beach with amazing views. The room and the beach were very clean. Also the food was very tasty. We loved the fresh juices! I recommend this place! Thank you!
The staff and the food is what make this hotel exceptional! We had an amazing stay, SPECIAL thanks to Abirami who profesionally managed all our requests! She is a true pro and a great person! Also huge thanks goes go Nilan, Dimika, Rumesh, Nishanka, Malaka and Nishan! They all were exceptional!
Our stay at Avani hotel was quite enjoyable. Impressed by the exceptional staff service and gym facilities. The food was really good and we appreciated the unlimited water access. Additionally, the spa service was great and of course the beautiful sunsets from the beach.
Wonderful & very close beach view villa. Its perfect place for ur birthday party or enjoy ur holiday in beach side. 100% safety + friendly service + very clean. Place and view everything are same as the images they are added on booking.com
Has 2 separate pools. Large one is mostly for kids and thats awesome.
Dinner and lunch buffet are great. Favourite ones are scrambled egg, omlett, crab curry and deviled beef curry.
Rooms are comfortable and clean.
this hotel is situated on a rubber estate and also on the main road ( Kalutara Matugama Highway road ).I went from Kotttawa it took 20 minutes to the hotel full trip. This Hotel is a good place for couples.
Everything was perfect. They also gave us an upgrade. My kids also had a great time. I highly recommend this resort for a pleasent vacation.
The staff are super friendly, all of them. Thank you
The excellent friendly staff who could not do enough for you as Sri Lankan hospitality dictates.
