After a 20 hours on the go then a 3 hour bus journey we arrived at the hotel we decided to have a look around after dropping of our cases in the room. We were aware that beach boys operate the outside grounds of the hotel. We were instantly approached by Nelson who offered his services(more of that later) if... more

We had 2 weeks at the hotel departing Sri Lanka on the 21st November, and by and large, it was OK untill a couple of nights before were due to leave because our safe was opened and money taken while we out of the room one evening. We had set the safe up in such a way that we would... more

When looking at booking this hotel you should ask yourself, are you the kind of person who likes to do absolutely nothing or the kind of person who likes to get out and about to see the country you've come to.

I spent 2 weeks in Sri Lanka the majority of the time at the Kani Lanka apart from 4 days of excursions. It is a very beautiful hotel and extremely romantic.

Our room was kept nice and often had flowers laid out on the bed. Hotel was quiet, which suited us well. Some entertainment (singers... more

Myself and my husband stayed in the Kani Lanka Hotel & Spa in September 2009 for our honeymoon. We travelled via Dubai with Emirates. We changed our money on arrival in Sri Lanka airport as it is a closed currency. I would recommend doing this as the exchange rate is better and the hotel charge for this service. The transfer... more

My wife and two kids, 13 and 11 had a brilliant holiday here in early in 2009. The food is fantasticly prepared and displayed for you to choose from. The rooms are very clean and tidy and the staff make you feel welcome in all areas. The 'beach boys' do offer good and cheap trips although I would recommend caution... more
