I enjoyed my stay at Ranweli Holiday Village, especially the serene environment and beautiful beach, but I found the customer service lacking. The food quality was average compared to other places I've tried in Sri Lanka, and the Wi-Fi access was disappointing. Overall, it's a lovely spot for relaxation if you're not expecting great amenities. 🌴🌊

I loved the spacious grounds and the typical Sri Lankan architecture, but the dining options were somewhat limited and the food quality was average.
