Eva Lanka Hotel

Great staff. Clean room. But the place could use some updates.

Where to begin? In a word, paradise. Eva Lanka is, as far as one can tell, paradise. My wife and I arrived on a Saturday evening and were met by the ever smiling and charming manager, Manju. We were issued with delicious welcome drinks then we were escorted to our ocean view chalet by one of the members of staff, all of whom are uniquely attentive, polite, helpful and also charming. The chalet was ideal – a very good size with a big comfortable double bed as well as two singles on which we were able to put suitcases and other travel related detritus. The en suite bathroom was also big with a large shower and generally good fittings. We were in no. 20 which I highly recommend – no passing traffic (of the human variety), a decent and secluded sitting out area, all overlooking a postcard view of the ocean and the smaller of the two beautiful salt water swimming pools. The hotel itself is set in the most stunning location – a beautiful tropical garden woven with wide pathways which wind down eventually to a small gate which leads to a flight of steps ending on the utterly jaw dropping and largely vacant beach. The upper pool is huge and is adjacent to the beautiful main open air reception area with its adjoining restaurant. Here, ceiling fans spin lazily overhead as you look out over the pool, garden and ocean beyond. At no time were there more than about 6 people using either pool, most of the time it was just us and a couple of others. The food provided by the hotel is also,

Hotel a bit old in regards to room equipment, but staff very nice and supportive! The beach couldn't be better, one of the best beaches I saw in the island! Highly recommended!
