Low Quality Hotel at High price
Lavanga claims to be a 4 Star hotel however that was not the case. I arrived at the hotel on 30 Dec and find that rooms I have requested months ago to accommodate 2 wheelchair people was not allocated. I spent 2 hours at check in trying to get rooms allocated. The manager asked me to "make do"with the rooms with stairs although he knew I had people bound to a wheelchair. The hotel itself is in poor condition. Untidy cement floors, old dirty furniture and carpets, broken glass and dirty windows. My toilet blocked up everyday until I checked out. It seems like the gym has not been used for decades with all equipment rusted. Cutlery was extremely dirty. I had to wipe everything before I used it. The staff I found to be arrogant and unfriendly and the guys at the reception counter seemed confused all the time. I am definitely not visiting here again. This hotel was a trap and I feel I paid too much for a Hostel type experience.

Good stay
Good choice at the end although they tried to offer me a room without a balcony even though I paid for one. Also they tried to put my friends in rooms without a window. At the end the gave us better options and overall stay was good. Ruined it all on the last day when they accused my friend of drinking from mini bar although he is a devout muslim. Location is good and pool and beach area is ok for the budget.

Nice rooms but very noisy
Very nice room but very very noisy from both the road outside and the building work that was going on. The restaurant was very disappointing as it was inside where as most of the hotels up the road had beach front dining.

The staff are what makes this hotel great!
Had a fantastic time at this hotel. The staff were wonderful and we left feeling like we had known them for years. There may be better hotels in Sri Lanka, but I won't know about them because I w ill always go back to Lavanga!

Sea view or forget about it.
Non sea view room is on the highway. Lots of noise at night. Room is basic with poor finishing. We upgraded to sea view which was a significant improvement. However, bathroom flooded when sink was pulled. Friendly staff. Avoid in hotel restaurant. Affordable better food is a short tuktuk drive away. Great pool and beach.

Nice room but did not enjoy my stay
I did not enjoy my stay at this hotel . The room was very nice . The hotel is too isolated and as the food was expensive and not very nice compared to other places meant I had to travel to eat . The atmosphere was not good staff hovering over you all the time . Their spoken English was not good compared to the 6 other countries I have just visited. I am not fussy as I am now in a 3 star hotel at another beach and am very happy . Just something about the atmosphere there made me hate it. If I just want to travel for a nice room may as well stay closer to home and save money. If you want to stay in Hikkaduwa stay closer to the town centre

Not a 4 star hotel experience
The whole place was just really work out and there was just alot of things that were wrong about the place. When we arrived they had not recieved our booking from hotels.com and asked us to pay a fee for them to sort it out, which is just unreasonable. However they did upgrade us to a suite, which was nice. Service was not the best. They advertise the place as a spa resort, but the spa and its only staff member was unproffessional in my eyes. We complained but did not feel like the management actually did anything about the issues. In the pictures on the website, it is also stated that they have a gym, but this gym turned out to be so poorly maintained that i dont even think its safe to use. Food was good, but they did not have many of the dishes displayed in the menue. A stunning view, but kind of far from everything.

Could be good.
Could be great but... If you're looking for a hotel with a pool bar and a rooftop bar despite the information its none existent. Well, they have them but they are closed, both of them. The lobby looks great and the staff is very friendly. The rooms are also not that bad. But they definitely need some maintenance. I wouldn't take my children here because if you look close at the lighting that's mounted to the palm trees next to the pool you find that they have live wires lying on the ground just a few meters from the actual pool. Water and current isn't a good combination it is a potential death trap. Multiple times we ordered something in the restaurant just to be informed that they couldn't serve that dish, the same thing happened in the bar. But the view from the room facing the ocean is 100% magical. If the lovered the price I wouldn't be so picky but since they are in comparison semi-expensive they should at least offer semi-total quality.
