My wife and I stayed here last week for our honeymoon. I am a strong believer that it's not the place but the people around you that make your vacation experience worthwhile. The staff at Saman Villa was beyond super. They took care of every little detail and were ever present for all ourneeds and whims. some members of the... More

We stayed in Saman Villas for for 5 days in January 2012. On our arrival we werrent impressed with the privacy offered in the suite allocated for us. So we accepted an offer for a suite on a lower category "but" we had to accept the original "higher" rate. Definetely not the way we do our business - but when... More

We thank the reviewer for praising the location and the massage. Our response to the reviewers adverse comments are given below 1. Stayed in lower category suite, but had to accept original higher rate. January and February which correspond with the European winter are our busiest months. Demand for rooms is very high and on the supply-demand principle our rates... More

Saman Villas at Bentota beach was like paradise, I think the best place at Bentota. We stayed in a beautiful villa, with a private pool, overlooking the ocean. The main pool and restaurant area was relaxing, with the same great view from atop a small cliff, the staff were very friendly (as were Sri Lankans in general), helpful and efficient.... More

We arrived at Saman Villas after a long, long drive down from the high tea country. We were given cooling towels which was a lovely touch. Our only hiccup here, and it spoiled it for me was the presentation on arrival of a bill that exceeded our guaranteed fee. The hotel insistence that this was a booking fault [booked through... More

This is probably the best location in Bentota with stunning views from the villas and a lovely long beach to walk along. We had a pool villa and were really disappointed that when swimming in your "private pool" the upstairs villa balcony looks straight over it and it is not at all private. The food was sensational and the staff... More
