My husband and myself stayed here in January 2010. Food was good and service was friendly and helpful. We had an all inclusive board but went out for dinner once (just down the road from the hotel, a lovely family run fish restaurant, book the day before and they prepare what you ask for). We also went to the elephant... More

The Kani Lanka is a perfect destination for those wanting to relax and enjoy being with their loved ones. The resort itself is a little isolated but that didn't bother us and if anything adds to its charm. Transport is readily available and the beach and local village is a lovely walk. The pool area, restaurant, food and lobby are... More

We stayed at the Kani Lanka as a group of 18 for a friend's wedding. The staff were helpful and did their best to accommodate us as a large number. There is only one restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner (plus a pool snack bar) - unusual for an all inclusive resort, but the food was so good we didn't... More

Just spent just over two weeks all inclusive here and had an amazing wedding here too. Staff were so friendly and really made you feel welcome. Food is lovely and so much choice. Walkers tours organized two brilliant trips for us too. The resort has a lovely pool and there is a relaxed atmosphere throughout. Just what we wanted for... More

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Avani, the stay was really nice and just what we needed 2 weeks of relaxation in a hot climate. The hotel is a 3 hour transfer from the airport. The hotel has only just opened; indeed it was the official opening while we were there. Every area of the... More

Love to go back to Kani Lanka again and again. It is a great place to relax and do nothing. Food is great but somehow they only have instant coffee for breakfast. Lovely rooms and the public areas are very open and airy. The river is great for swimming but the sea is very rough.
