Ravan Resort Tangalle

Wir verbrachten eine Nacht hier. Der BusBahnhof ist sehr nah, das Meer einfach eine Straße runter. Es gibt ein paar Restaurants in der Nähe und auch ein Einkaufsladen ist nicht weit entfernt. Alles was man braucht, hat man. Das Personal war sehr nett und half auch gerne weiter.

Отель в целом не плохой но есть шанс что вас поселят в совершенно другой тип номера , а не в тот который вы забронировали. Персонал ссылался что у них овербукинг и вариантов нет. Мы бронировали на Trip.com номер люкс в отдельно стоящем бунгало, а получили в основном корпусе, где шумоизоляции нет, комары, не исправная сантехника и постоянный шум от насоса который закачивает воду. Цена не высокая но рисковать отдыхом и жертвовать комфортом я бы не стал.

This resort is definetely worth recommending. There are a variety of rooms and the room we had was spacious and nicely decorated. There was a lamp and a small fridge and electici jug. The AC worked well and the pool was soooo amazing! We loved it here. The owner is on call if there are any communication issues and was happy to help with all our requests and questions.

We took up an off season 'deal' promoted by Ravana which promised a comprehensive experience with the highlight being 2 hours of kayaking. We drive up and never got the 'welcome drink' as per the package. Dinner was very average, but as can be expected from a stay as this, so pretty OK. We asked for the wifi and a flickering light to be fixed in the room - both went unattended. We asked for the tea to be available before heading out for the kayaks at 7.15AM (so that we don't have to paddle for 2 hours on an empty stomach). The manager says OK. We turn up at 7AM and no one is around and the Manager's phone is off. We pushed the gate open and headed out. Even the security is not present. The kayak experience itself is done by someone/company totally different. Ravana manager just gives us a phone number and a map pin and asked us to find our own way there. Luckily, we had our car. If we took the train, we'd be stuck and would have to figure out transport on our own. Kayaking was only 1 hour long (not the promised 2 hours). We return to Ravana for a very below average breakfast (even for a very low budget place) , which took forever to get to the table. Their idea of an English breakfast is toast, three sausages and two eggs, a fruit platter which had half a banana and few slices of watermelon and papaya. Rooms were clean but absolutely barren. Not even a water bottle, kettle or even soap. They basically advertise someone else's experience to oversell their rooms. There is no sense of service at all. Purely as a bedspace, the place makes more sense. But definitely not what they hype it up to be.

My wife and I booked this hotel months ago to get one of the superior chalets for our stay. We were in Sri Lanka and a few days before this booking was to start I got a message from the Ravan to say there had been an overbooking error and we were being moved to a superior double with a private balcony and the price would be reduced appropriately. On arrival our superior double was probably the worst room in the hotel. The bathroom smells like an open sewer and our private balcony was the open corridor outside our room which had a couple of chairs, judging by the full ashtrays this was clearly smokers corner. When I said this was unacceptable they said they had another room to show me. This turned out to be a completely different hotel and I was expected to pay extra as this was more expensive. Again I refused. We were then left sitting in the corridor with our cases. I then had to run around looking for somewhere to stay. Not exactly what I planned. I would be very reluctant to take this hotels word for anything as even a confirmed booking is no guarantee.

The place was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Special shout-out to chef kanushka for the delicious meals and house keeping deemantha. Definitely recommend it for a one night stay and for a large group
