We recently spent 2 weeks at this resort. Fantastic. The whole experience was out of this world. On arrival we were upgraded to a deluxe villa, and offered a complimentary foot massage. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The rooms were spotless and kept that way. We were warned prior to our visit that there would be renovations taking... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in the month of May. The location is fantastic & the staff are very friendly and service oriented, though most of them speak only the local language. The boat ride along the backwaters is quite interesting and we got to see a few water monitors & many birds. The standard rooms are very drab... More

Wow what a holiday. 3 weeks and wish I could afford another 3. Food amazing, staff some of the best ever come across. Accommodation - all individual villa's, right on the beach very quiet and peacful. Maybe the standard rooms could do with a little uplift but for price and the fact it is an eco hotel really no complaints.... More

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. Activities which hotel offers are table tennis, pool, beach and water pool valley-ball, cycle... More

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
