We recently visited Sri Lanka and booked this hotel according to the rating it got on Booking.com. Prior to our arrival i read all reviews here and was really worried. Yes the Egyptian theme is a bit weird but the hotel as Beautiful views,excellent location and right on the beach. Hotel has a lovely big clean pool. We got excellent service from two waiters,thank you Chameera and Gihan,you guys went out of your way to serve us,always prompt and with big smiles,these guys work really hard. The food was average to good,desserts wasn’t to our taste. Diet coke and Carlsberg beer was out of stock. Some concerns were that we sometimes had to ask several times for our room to be cleaned,no towels at times and even toilet paper. The white tables and chairs at the outside seating are very old and should be replaced. Rooms were nice but the bathrooms are very old....water in the shower was either cold or very hot.
So yes not the best hotel that we have stayed at but also not very good.....
We made the best of our stay and still had fun.

The Hotel has an amazing location and looks great.

However the level of services is disappointing. In our case it began with expired wifi passwords, then not enough towels in the room and the airconditioning was not working and even repeated complaints did nothing to improve the situation.
As a result the room temperature stayed around 30 degrees centigrade with not even a fan to cool you.

Kabalana is a very nice hotel with Egyptian concept.
we had a sea facing room with wonderful views. The hotel has big swimming pool.Food was delicious. Specially breakfast & dinner food.We like big buffet. Come back.!!
