“Great spot with plenty going on.”
+A great hotel with a lovely welcome and fabulous staff. We had a high floor with great views over the river. Lots of water sports to watch when using the comfy sun beds on the balcony. The boat to the beach was good but you can walk if you wish to. The breakfast was varied and very good. We ate here for 5 nights and there was plenty choice. The staff went over and above to make us feel welcome. We had our choice of various table and they were all set to make us comfortable. On our last evening they dressed a beautiful table on the wooden pier, with paper flowers and romantic lights. We felt extremely special. After catching some great fish on their deep sea fishing trip, they cooked it and provided lovely vegetables and salad to accompany it. Attention to detail was well thought out. Thanks for the lovely elephant in our room (made from towels).
−Nothing it was all excellent. Maybe they could offers different breads at breakfast time but this is just a suggestion not a need.

“Enjoyable stay with amazing views and friendly staff”
+Friendly staff, spacious rooms, stunning river views, very accommodating. It’s helpful having the boat over to the beach side.
−One of the room’s AC wasn’t working but the hotel helped with this by moving us to another room for a night. The bathroom plumbing was a little bit smelly.

“Passable stay in Bentota but lower quality than other guest houses”
+Very specious rooms and confortable bed
−Very basic breakfast compared to other guest houses in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan omlet provided was the same as cheese omlet, very uncomparable to other facilities. Linen on bed was dirty, need change. Except 1 person on reception which was good no one else spoke english.

“Perfect place, you wont do better. Book! you wont be disapointed”
+It is truly a wonderful experience The hotel has the most magnificent views, staff exceptional, clean and great facilities. The only issue I had was with the tv and wifi, both were swiftly and efficiently solved. Breakfast was lovely and we ate our evening meal there on 3 occasions, very good food. We jet skied, went on a fishing trip and enjoyed the free ferry accross the river to the beach. I would strongly recommend. We felt like we were trated like family.
−I honestly cannot find fault

“Exciting hotel with great staff & fabulous vistas.”
+Incredible hotel with wonderful attentive staff. We wish we had taken our road trip the opposite way round which would have enabled us to stay longer at this great hotel & to enjoy more of its facilities & water sports etc.
