Cinnamon Lodge Habarana, Chaaya Blu Trincomalee and Bentota Beach Hotel were awarded Certificates of Excellence by TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site. TripAdvisor enables travellers to plan and have the perfect trip and has come to be known as the most reliable source for travel information. TripAdvisor awards this certificate to hotels around the world who consistently receive excellent ratings from travellers annually.

Cinnamon Lodge Habarana located in the heart of the cultural triangle is a man-made green-haven; a bare land previously used for chena cultivation transformed and reforested with trees saved from the banks of the Mahaveli Project to recreate the lush 27 acre forest. The five star resort offers affordable indulgence to all ages, in keeping with its tag line Indulgence for All Ages.

Chaaya Blu Trincomalee which recently completed a year of operations is the first four star quality accommodation to open in the East Coast; and a foremost investment in tourism made after the conclusion of the war. This retro-chic property is the perfect beach getaway with open white spaces highlighted with denim trimmings and bold orange.

Bentota Beach Hotel a timeless Bawa beach resort, underwent a soft refurbishment which was completed last year. Located between the Indian Ocean and the serene lagoon the resort can be easily accessed from the metropolis of Colombo.

The resort is famed for its water sports and the newly opened Azmaara Spa is currently gaining popularity.

Jayantissa Kehelpannala, Sector head of the Sri Lankan resorts cluster of the John Keells Hotels Group stated “We are happy to achieve this accolade of excellence from TripAdvisor for our three resorts.

Providing our guests with excellent accommodation and exceptional service has always been our priority, and it has indeed been a pleasure to know that three properties have been recognised for the same by our guests”
