Hotel Mount Lavinia (Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka)

No need to worry about having to fight the crowds here. Mount Lavinia has its own private beach for you to use whenever you’d like, and since it’s only for guests, it won’t get overly crowded.

If you’re looking to get a workout in before you head out to enjoy the day, you can do so with ease here. The hotel offers an on-site gym for you to use, which is fully stocked with everything you need.

Depending on where your room is, it’s likely you will have a beautiful view of the sea around you. It’s a great spot to relax and unwind as you watch the sun set over the beautiful water.

Not only does the air conditioning make some major noise, but it also doesn’t do a great job at cooling down your room. And because you might be bothered more by the noise than the heat, you can end up turning it off.

From check-in to the breakfast service, you might notice that the staff isn’t the most friendly. This can be off-putting, especially if you don’t get a warm welcome when you first arrive.

Though the rooms have many comforts, you may find yourself missing some extra mirrors and lights. The rooms are pretty dark, and don’t have much in the way of lights.
