Transfer Our flight arrived at Colombo ahead of schedule as there was a technical fault which meant we didn’t stop at Male. Because we were early our transport hadn’t arrived so we waited in the Airport for over an hour. We made the 2 hour trip to Bentota Beach in a mini bus with one other couple. We were warned... More

We have nothing but praise for the hotel and staff. Situated right on a lovely beach. Stayed for the last 2 weeks in January on All Inclusive. Booked a superior room but was upgraded to a deluxe for free. Super king size bed - room very large comfortable and clean. Great view of the river and sea. Staff were excellent,... More

Stayed one night in Bentota Beach Hotel as a stopover on our way further south. Check-in was throughly disorganised and inefficient. We were offered a seat and then had to wait about 20 minutes while the receptionist made several phone calls without attending to us. The sea-facing room was nice, however the mini bar which was open when we got... More

Do yourself a favor and avoid this hotel: Poor service, dilapidated facilities and mediocre food all for more than $250/night! Save yourself the mosquito bites, microwaved food, bad staff and stay at the Taj Bentota, which is close by and wonderful by all accounts. Our experience here really took away from the warm hospitality, friendly people and great food/service that... More

I know the Bentota Beach Hotel for the last 12 years. It is a beautiful hotel with a huge gorgeous tropical garden surrounding it; there is the lagoon on one side, the Indian Ocean on the other. The staff is very friendly and supportive. The rooms are very nicely furnished. Everything is clean and tidy. The food is Western and... More

Fairly pricey for Sri Lanka. The hotel food was very good but we found it's worth going to other resaurants nearby to get more authentic local dishes and cheaper wine. Service was very good as we expected and the room was reasonably clean. Fabulous gym facilities and pool. I would stay in this hotel again if I returned to Sri... More

Bentota Beach resort is about 3 hours drive from Colombo Airport. The resort has excellent facilities. The Bentota river is on one side and Indian Ocean in the front so you get both sea and river. River cruise is a must. One can do water sports in both sea and river. The river cruise takes you through mangroves, see some... More
