good all around once you find the place as could not find immidiately. room excellent (though on the small side) but was an upgrade in hotel (they said) as booked the Avani in Kaluthara but it was not ready on the date we travelled so were sent further down the coast to the Bentota property.

Awesome resort. the reception gives one a feeling of entering a spa; clear virgin white walls. Check-in is like a consultation appointment with the receptionist; one feels pampered and as if one is getting special treatment. our room no was 122; the verandah door opens to the pool; 5 steps and one is in the pool. the pool is the...

The service on the whole was very good - particularly from the bar staff. The cocktails at the bar were excellent (both quality and value). The buffet breakfast... More
