We stayed a week at Thaproban in the Penthouse Suite and had a wonderful visit there. The location is great and the view from the balcony is unbeatable! 180 degrees Indian Ocean! The most outstanding asset of the hotel is its staff. We were picked up at the airport by Dias, who is, apart from being an excellent and safe... More

we had a three week stay at Thaproban during which time the staff at this hotel could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Our room was large and well equiped, - mini bar, A/C and cleaned on a daily basis. The breakfast was generous and always to a high standard. We wanted for nothing and felt like part of... More

The Hotel was more than what I expected, the rooms are bit small, but it comes with LCD Tv, Mini bar ,A/C …etc, the Toilets are well maintained and cleaned (so was the room). The service given to us by the two lovely front office ladies was admirable, so was the hotel manager Mr.Lenora, who is a nice Gentleman with... More

Visited this hotel after a while (stayed there few years ago and it was great) for lunch and they didn't disappoint all of us ! The sea food was excellent.. should try both the Jumbo prawn's and the Coconut crusted prawn's. The pizza too were very good. The setting, ambiance, friendly staff, the beach ... was super. Will go back. More

We loved this place for the ambience, the amazing food, friendly staff, and location near the beach. However, for our timing it was not ideal for traveling with two small children. We rented the upstairs beachview room because it was a family room. What we didn't know is that the family room was connected by a steep wooden staircase (not... More

This was the most expensive place we stayed out in Sri Lanka, but our least favorite. We had the penthouse suite, which was very nice. But that was the only thing we liked about the place. Service was quite arrogant, especially the guy working in the restaurant. The boys working with the house-keeping were very friendly, hard working and deserved... More

We stayed here for two nights as part of 6 day tour. Amazing location, when the only minor flaw you can find is the lack of shut eye, due to the noise of the thrashing waves keeping you awake, you know you have found a little piece of heaven (hence the only poor comment on sleep quality, which was nothing...
