We stayed at Serene Pavilions for 8 nights in May 2012 and found it a magnificent place! If you're looking for tranquility and nothing but a relaxing time, you're right at Serene Pavilions. The Beach Bungalows are definetly worth the extra money, since you have a direct view to the sea (located about 50 meters away from your terrace). Their... More

We have been back a week now and the memories of this wonderful resort will stay with us forever. We stayed in an Ocean Pavilion, which we would recommend, because the views are stunning, and waking up to the sight and sounds of The Indian Ocean is well worth payng for-epecially using the automated blinds! From start to finish, the... More

If you want to be quiet and relax then this hotel is fantastic because this is just what we did. Set in beautiful gardens there are 12 pavilions, so we had our own personal home, which is fitted out with style and all modern equipement. If you so wish there is no need to even leave your unique haven. Our... More

We stayed for four nights after a busy tour of Sri Lanka and stayed in a beautiful 'Ocean Pavilion'. The villa was beutifull, the staff attentive, the food lovely, the cocktails delightful! The main pool is gorgeus and well worth a visit during your stay. I also tried the spa and found the staff attentive and treatment very relaxing. The... More

At around £330 a night I was disappointed. The villa has a huge floor area but considering it is only 2 years old it is looking worn round the edges..Numerous staff tend the lovely gardens but some of the furniture is scratched or chipped or has suffered from the sea air. Breakfast was lovely but I was very disappointed with... More

We decide to stayed at Serene Pavilion in August 2011 after our wedding with the intention to wind down after a long week of celebrations with our friends and family and our experience with Serene Pavilion was beyond what we expected. The hotel charm, the beautiful garden, the plunge pool in front of our villa, and the services from the... More

From the moment we arrived to the day we departed the Serene Pavilions looked after us like no other place we have stayed in. All the staff were friendly and curtious and very quick to smile and greet you. Nothing was too much trouble and our butler, Priyantha, was delightful and eager to please with a good sense of humour,... More
