Our vacation on Sri Lanka was a real discovery thanks to the magical place-the Elena Garden Resort hotel-resort. A special role in creating the atmosphere of cordiality and care is played by the Russian hostess of the hotel, whose attentive and cordial control manner creates a feeling of home warmth and hospitality. She personally monitors the quality of the services provided, invariably achieving the highest level of guest satisfaction. The hotel has a perfectly organized service, impeccable cleanliness of numbers and a pleasant environment that harmonizes with the surrounding natural landscape. Every morning, a beautiful view of the window to the lush green gardens, giving a sense of peace and inspiration, pleases. The traditional Sri Lanka cuisine is represented in all its beauty and diversity, allowing guests to enjoy authentic dishes prepared with soul and attention to details, also Russian pancakes, lick your fingers !! As a result, our stay in Elena Garden Resort left an indelible mark and formed an idea of ​​a real Lankan luxury, supplemented by a special Russian flavor. This unique symbiosis of cultures allowed us to feel like part of the fabulous world of hospitality and beauty.

- I would love if the rooms had a sweeping brush to sweep up the sand.

- This place is perfectly located. It’s only a 5 minute walk to the beach which has plenty of bars and diving schools around. - You can use sun beds in a local restaurant if you tell them you’re staying here. - Perfect room for the price point. - Elena is a really friendly host.

Very friendly host Elena and a beautiful room and garden. This place saved us last minute from a bad experience with accommodation. We book super last minute and only for one night. But I would have loved to have stayed for longer. Elena was so friendly and helpful and made us feel relaxed. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Thank you so much for having us!

That we couldn't stay longer.

Great spot, 2 min walk to the beach, lots of shade and trees in the communal areas, very scenic. Elena was the perfect hostess, v friendly, helpful and attentive. She organised some additional accommodation for us after we wanted to extend our stay. It's very clean, with Aircon, , nicely decorated, breakfast was well worth it. There is also a v nice bar restaurant on the beach with free sunbeds courtesy of Elena.

You have your own chairs but share the balcony with the neighbours room. Not that we sat out very often.

Elena made us feel very welcome. The room was comfortable and clean. It had great a/c and a ceiling fan. Lovely towels both for the room and the beach. Even a beach bag which was handy. We had breakfast once and it was delicious, I'd recommend the porridge. At the beach restaurant at the bottom of the lane we were able to use the sunbeds free of charge. We also ate there. The food was good and service friendly and professional.

Elena’s accommodation was fabulous because the numbers were so clean and very tasty smelled of clean bedding without any spots without any spots, a clean bathroom has a toothbrush towels for the beach and the beach bag is everything for comfort Elena thought out every little thing, I also bought a tour that was on the beach, which was more expensive from Elena, it was three times cheaper. I was satisfied with all delicious breakfasts and I also want to add who writes bad reviews guys you where you can only dream for such money with such comfort, I lived before in a five -star hotel, I found so much in the room of the web, dirt, dust and bed linen, so please respect Elena. She gets up early and performs physical work in the heat and also gives attention to all guests. She is such a beautiful woman, always a wonderful aroma blows from her. She also always smiles and is ready to use what is in her power !!! This is a unique and hard work of a person. Guests who give poor grades, even for a moment cannot think how much work is invested in this small hotel and how much love. I will recommend this hotel to all my friends !! Also a beautiful beach where you can sit on sun loungers, even if you do not buy a nonsense absolutely free. . Everything on the coast knows Elena and speak only well of her, they say that she is strong and protects her guests as her children. I lived in this hotel and felt safe. This is the only hotel where I was able to get enough sleep, as well as on its territory there are beautiful and wonderful animals and Elena to take care of them, it all speaks of a person. Come guys and enjoy the rest here and Elena will do everything for your comfort. Great respect to you Elena

Elena is a an amazing host! She was always available and took care of everything. She organized all of my activities (diving school, dolphin Tour and pigeon island) and transport to my bus. The accomodation was really clean and had a laundry service. I always ate breakfast there. It is also super close to the beach (4 mins) and ai could use the sunbeds of a Restaurant on the beach for free! So all in all great recommendation!

It's a great place.

It was exactly what I expected and exactly what I wanted, something unique and different. A tropical beach garden vibe. There are only 5 units and so it was quiet. An older property that has been carefully renovated. The common area has a "beachcomber" feel, funky in a good way, with lots of plants and palms everywhere. Each unit has a covered terrace with chairs and a low table and is surrounded in greenery. I really liked the fact that the rooms are quirky and fun and refreshingly different from most accommodation. Only 1 small window in each unit but Elena has cleverly got around this by painting the walls bright white with colourful murals and linens and excellent lighting which made the whole room light and bright and full of colour. New floor tiles. The room had this unique fresh feel. There was ample furniture in the room to put things on. Fresh linens and plenty of towels. Strong fan and good A/C. The big bathroom had been modernised, and had both a cool shower and a hot shower with instant hot water and good water pressure. There was a small unit of shelves to put bathroom things on. Very clean. There is a small above ground plunge pool but it wasn't operating when I was there. But that doesn't matter at all as the ocean is only a stone's throw away. Plenty of parking for my motorbike. The property is safe & secure. Excellent location as it's a very short stroll to Upuvelli beach which is a wide beach with clean sand and a few cafes and restaurants. The beach slopes gently into the water, stays shallow for a little distance, and only had low waves which makes it ideal for families to swim in. Elena is very helpful and arranged snorkeling and an exceptional Ayurvedic massage, both at a discount. The property is quiet. I found the other guests friendly and Elena has created a happy, social place. No parties, no karaoke and so you can really relax here. It is an excellent price considering its proximity to the beach.

Stayed here with my adult daughter. The room was so nice. It was much bigger than in the photos on booking. Com. There was room on each side of the bed, the bed is not against the wall. Elena thought of all the little things that make a trip wonderful. She has an arrangement with a restaurant on the beach to use their sunbeds free of charge. Elena also provides beach towels, beach blankets and a beach bag to take all your items to the beach. There was a lovely patio outside with a table, chairs, clothes horse and a hammock. This was a lovely space looking at the beautiful garden. Elena was a fab host very helpful with bookings for activities and transport. Choose here for a fab stay we highly recommend this accommodation.

Okay, a small thing - the wash basin wasn't great. The plug has seen better days! But it doesn't detract from the overall positive experience - not even a little!

Elena and her staff are the loveliest people. They do all they can to help. And the cats and dogs are wonderful! I was there for six days and felt like I was leaving home when I eventually left! 10/10!.

Everything was excellent

Very comfortable rooms . Great location in a quiet spot only minutes from the beach and also not far from the main road ( with a decent well stocked little supermarket across the road. It is such a pleasure to just sit outside your door or swing in a hammock and enjoy the tropical garden with its many resident butterflies and birds. Elena is a lovely lady . She is very friendly and helpful. Apart from providing a great place to stay she ( assisted by her staff ) will always do her best to make your stay as pleasant as possible. . There's a very tasty breakfast available too.
