"This is our second stay at Mount Lavinia, the first being 16 years ago on our honeymoon! This is a very special place indeed & many people stay here on at the beginning or end of their stay in Srilanka as it’s so conveniently placed about an hour from the airport. The building has so much history & holds a beautiful (but sad) love story which includes a secret tunnel that the staff will show you! My kids loved that & going on a tour of the small museum & the original building including the Governor’s living quarters. The staff are exceptional here., warm, helpful & friendly. We enjoyed an evening seafood cove meal on the beach (choose your fish. & portion size & watch them cook it fresh on the beach!) & an English High Tea by the swimming pool on our last afternoon (sensational). We enjoyed the spectacular views of Colombo & the coastline while sipping our tea feeling very grandeur in the Old Governors Palace. Would dearly love to return again! "

"This is an English-run villa located very close to Mount Lavinia Beach, and approximately equidistant between Mount Lavinia and Dehiwala train stations. We stayed at the Villa over New Year for four days on an excellent discount offer. The villa was located very well for us diving at the nearby Island Scuba (also recommended). The service was absolutely faultless. Staff were very honest - I left several thousand rupees in a pocket of trousers that I gave to wash unbeknownst to me, and they handed it back to me on my return later that evening. They also accommodated early morning breakfasts as we were diving. The room we stayed in was spotlessly clean, had a balcony, and stylish en-suite. It was very pleasant, good a/c and ceiling fan, TV. Wifi worked throughout (although the second wifi box upstairs has a different key which you need to find on the back of the box). The communal areas are stylish and airy. There is a garden with a small pool for plunge/swimming and outdoor seating. At the price we paid this was exceptional value for such pleasant surroundings.. Only minor things could be done to improve the experience for future guest: a room making-up service might be offered, possibly enquired about at breakfast to add a little finesse. There may also be some scope to link with the nearby Island Scuba for diving packages as the location is perfect."

"I visited Colombo Sri Lanka recently from 25th Oct - 5th November. I booked my accommodation at Ranveli through agoda.com and got a reasonably good rates. The first four days, I stayed at Ranveli Beach Resorts, then from 29th onward moved to other bigger hotel in the Mount Lavinia Beach. I decided to return back to Ranveli on the remaining two nights (3rd - 5th Nov 2012) before my return to Indonesia. Ranveli offers clean room, good foods and staff hospitality at very affordable price. Staying for a couple days at Ranveli Beach Resort was memorable one. I was really feeling like at my own home. The days I stayed there passed very quickly. Helpful and friendly staff and a good owner who is always ready to help the guests has made my stay at this hotel was like staying with my closest friends. We will be in a good hand of the Ranveli owner and Staff. My compliments go to the owner and the hotel staff, who have been so helpful and kind to me. If I have another chance to visit Colombo, I would love to stay at this hotel again! "
