    Superb location.stayed one night at a beach front cabana.lovely location and friendly restaurant staff.You have to take a ferry to arrive the hotel .The only downturn was the unpleasant welcome .I firstly thought they are discriminating the locals.The lady at the reception is not trained well to welcome guest.We didnt even get a welcome drink or a smile.
    The restaurant staff is amazing and they made our day.Specilly the chief incharge at that day made a special portions for our infant daughter.Overall experince is great.Give 5 star for the location .4 star for the food and agin 5 star for the staff except at the Reception.

    We visited 2 times. Very big Property. Hotel is situated in a island. You have to park your vehicle in the car park and take a boat to the hotel. Nice experience. Kayakin is also available. But you are on your own. Beach and pool is nice. Food is also good. Rooms are ok.

    One of a great hotel in the area really nicely designed, it has a nice classic look and feel to it. The rooms are well maintained, clean and calm. The Beach is in a walking distance or there is a nice pool as well so you can have both to enjoy. The food also is really good thry offers Verity of dishes, the staff is friendly and supportive. The hotel got really nice views to enjoy. Overall experience is awesome.

    Expensive but well maintained. Very European, no Sri Lanka feeling. We spent there the last night before going back home. Very helpful and nice staff!

    Not every resort can provide what ranveli resort provides to its customers. They welcome you in a different way. The entrance is from a ferry accross a lagoon/river. The staff is really friendly. Very famous among Europeans. Once you enter the resort you feel really relaxed. Surrounded by trees and the beautiful beach. Some rooms are seperate cottages while others are adjoining. Rooms are comfortable and well arranged. Most of the rooms has a good view of the ocean. Food is good. The bar is open. Outdoor and indoor food, buffet and snacks are offered. Swimming pool is clean and good place for sun bathing.

    It's a peaceful place and an idea location for a family day-out. Staff is friendly and the service is quite good. Activities like cycling, games (carrom, billiard, table tennis), and boat rides are available. Even though the buffet has a reasonable variety, there is still room for improvement.

    A very good place to relax with you friends or family. Different experience than usual since you need to cross a river to reach to the hotel. Food was good. Environment is good.

    Place is awesome. It is a calm place with lot of foreigners mainly Europeans and I think it's best for people who are coming to feel environmental value around Negambo seaside. It looks all Europeans are impressed with this place and their way of service. But we as Locals has a concern of matching their service and flexibility of their style of service, as we went to spend our honeymoon there but I think they are mostly looking to serve foreigners and not looking much for locals.

    It's a top-notch place for you to relax and the quality of service is just excellent. If you fancy having some sun and great beach experience this is one of the best places that you should go to in Sri Lanka.

    I visited this place for a day out with my friends. They had a good offer and included a nice room to spend the day as well. Which was a nice touch as most hotels don't offer rooms for day outs. This place gives me the nature vibes. Situated across the Gin Oya from the main land. You will have to park across the oya and travel in a floating boat to get to the Hotel. The room was spacious and modern. The pool was okay and clean They have pretty long beach it was a pleasant experience. The most important aspect was the buffet. The did not have lots of varieties for mains. But the selection for appetizers was amazing. I think we spend like good 2 hours in the buffet finishing all the appetizers. Highly recommended to visit. Might go there again to get an comparison.

    The hotel and the location is nice. When you arrive to the place you have to park your vehicle in the car park outside the hotel and cross a river (ela) about 60 m to the hotel. It is at a nice environment and the staff is nice too. But the maintanance and foods are average. Overall can give three stars with the price because it is not really cheap.

    The hotel is a nice place to relax and calm down from the daily stress. It's also a good Base to start trips to the rest of the island.
    The massages are very good, even if there are some cheaper places in Negombo to enjoy those.
    The food is pretty good, but there are better places to eat.
    The staff is very friendly and helpful, they do there best to make your stay as wonderful as possible.

    A place for an idyllic relaxing holiday with no disturbance from the outside.
    A fantastic beach frontage with no touts and beach boys and a lovely deck to sit out and view the sea

    The property has a lot of promise. It is huge, has a private beach and the entry into the resort is splendid what with having to tak e a ferry across the backwaters to access it.
    However rooms are very tired, staff is not friendly at all and the food is very mediocre.

    Hotel Surroundings & Views are quite good. Rooms are neat and clean as well but the staff & services are very poor. Even the food is not that good. Its just average. One of the main concerns of the stay at this hotel was they're too strict on the dress code at their restaurant, its an open area next to the beach but it sweats and very warm and there's no fan even at the restaurant and they don't allow tank tops / decent beach wear there. No one goes dressed up to a hotel next to the beach. Everyone goes to chill and have a relaxed experience. Hotel staff needs to understand that.
    Overall experience - Below average. Its great location, surroundings and facilities are taken over by very poor staff and services. Wouldn't visit again.
