My experience at Ranweli Holiday Village was a mixed bag. The location was beautiful, nestled beside the ocean and surrounded by nature. However, I found the facilities to be quite basic and the service notably lacking. Despite these drawbacks, I enjoyed the local culture and the New Year's gala which was a highlight of my stay.
