Hotel berhampiran Sri Jayanandanaramaya, Kalutara

２日間1人での滞在。 ➕ スタッフみんながフレンドリー。 朝食ブッフェの品数。洋食、スリランカ料理、インド料理なんでもあるので毎日飽きない。 プールが２つあるので、混み合わなくていい。 ジムや毎日のプログラムがあり、朝と夕方のトレーニングに参加しましたが、私しかいなかったのでマンツーマンで教えていただきとても楽しかった。 掃除の方がとてもフレンドリー。 部屋も広々していて、鳥の声も聞こえてよかった。 近くのビーチでの夕日が毎日見ることができたこと。 ➖ 夜に少しだけお酒と何かをつまみたいと思った時に、イタリアンレストランは閉まっていて、バーを利用しようとしたところ、あまりベジタリアンやビーガンの選択肢がなかった。 周りは何もない。 近くのビーチは波が高すぎて泳ぐことはできない。

Location and Access – About 2 hours’ drive by Expressway from Colombo Airport. The hotel has a beachfront location on a peninsular on the outskirts of Kulatara. Shops and services can be found in Kalutara A number of pictures of the hotel can be seen on Google Street View. Booking – I made a very last minute room booking on Agoda – this is where all my troubles began. Agoda confirmed the booking and payment was authorised from my bank. Unfortunately reception at the hotel did not receive any information on my booking. As a consequence I had to pay the hotel direct to secure the room . I then tried to contact Agoda to find out what had happened and was faced with what seemed like a torrent of ChatGPT generated acknowledgements - full of flummery and with no obvious way of contacting a “real” person. Eventually I did manage to email someone and got a response with information embedded somewhere between a ChatGPT worded salutation and valedicton. I spent considerable time trying to resolve this situation It should be noted that I also had to contact the Avani Hotel direct to try and sort things out and I must compliment their customer service staff. (Jonathon and Nuwan). Unlike Agoda I had an immediate response from a real person and was delighted with the way they dealt with an issue raised by one of their guests and would thank them for their support Reception – Despite the difficulties mentioned above the staff on Reception were very understanding in their dealings with me Public Areas/Decor – The hotel buildings sprawl over a wide area and include seating areas, library, bars and restaurants. All fresh with modern décor and furnishings. There is a large outdoor pool with loungers etc. and direct access to the sandy beach. The whole property sits in well maintained grounds. Guest Room –This was comfortable with large double bed, adjoining shower room, tea and coffee making and mini fridge. Ocean front with a furnished balcony Amenities including Entertainment – Large flat screen TV with a limited number of channels. Ample electrical sockets. Free WiFi was very good Lighting – A variety of lighting options Air Conditioning – Very good including ceiling fan Noise – I was not disturbed by any noise Food & Beverage – The restaurant serves a buffet dinner and a la carte is available from the bar. After the hassle of dealing with the booking problem – did not have the appetite for the buffet and chose a la carte from a very limited menu. My partners prawns were pronounced delicious but my burger was inedible. However, the buffet breakfast was exceptionally good with eggs and hoppers made to order and also a wide range of fruits, cooked items and local dishes and fresh bakery items. Cappuccino’s made to order were a treat from the usual “hotel coffee”. Value for Money – For the quality of the accommodation I was very satisfied with the room rate which included the excellent breakfast X Factor – The after service of the Avani Hotel in d

I would Like to take this opportunity to share my view for my stay at Kamili Caltura resort It is centrally located between Colombo , Bentota, Galle and has a private beach , very lavish pool and a lawn. The hospitality and the warmth which I and my group received by the caretaker Mr Sujit was fantabulous. My request for a bathtub too was fulfilled and he gave us a surprise to my daughter. The location ,the fragrance rooms , pool, beach dining area … wow. Mr Sujit and his team never said no for anything and they went out of their comfort zone and served us dishes specially curated by my group and it turned out awesome. Be it kela sabji, potato Subzi, pav vadas, bhajiya, soups, Okra dry subzis, stuff parathas, pumpkin , lentils , on and on It was actually a feeling of Home away from home. My daughters 10th grade results were out and he made a special flower bouquet for her and designed the dining sitting near the pool side with candle and soft congratulations music running behind. My honest suggestion is do visit and stay at this place and I vouch that you will not feel home sick.
