Hotel Vacanza

Nice family hotel, big family room, nice breakfast. Good cleaning! Short walk to beach and restaurants! Lot of noice (dogs barking, tuk tuk) starting from 5:30 am until 23:00 pm, so no good sleeping! :(

We stayed for 3 nights with our 2 children. The rooms are huge and it was great to spread out! Bathroom is also really lovely and a great size. Shower is enormous! The staff are lovely and the man who runs Hotel always has a smile from ear to ear and more than willing to help at any time. Breakfast is simple but more than enough- eggs with sausage and toast and jam. Fruit juice, coffee/tea. Location is brilliant- only about a 2 minute walk to the beach and a huge selection of places to eat and get a few snacks all around. Easy to get a tuktuk too. The one downfall for us was the smell of our room. I dont know if it was just ours, or all rooms, but ours was very damp and musty smelling. Our clothes all smelt when we left also. If we were staying more than 3 nights, i would have asked for a room change. With all this said - I would still recommend to others and i would stay here again myself also.

Stayed at Vacanza for 2 nights. We got the best room, clean, helpful staff and only 5 min walk to the beach. The room/bathroom were really spacious with a fridge available. Unfortunately we came during Festival season so a lot of restaurants were close in surroundings area. Felt like a high standard hotel at an affordable price. Would highly recommend. It's a family business so you also feel better supporting local economy :) It's also just a minute from the Railway station which is perfect if you move down the coast or back to Colombo.
