“Exceptional”
+SELAVI is an oasis of calm and quietness. It has a beautiful garden and overlooks the Bentota river. The food is exeptional & come with large portions. The staff are friendly and drop us off on the beach in the morning for free. We only payed a few hundred rupees to get back in the evening. We really loved our stay and will be back next year with friends. :-)

+Very nice, cosy and calm place. you will get a great view over the Bentota River for time of your breakfast and great service of the local staff. This is especially good for family with kids (like us, we are five )because these are two separate bungalows with a nice garden.

“We will visit Srilanka again. Next time directly to Selavi with friends from Norway and Denmark.”
+Selavi in Bentota is value for money at an exeptionally nice peacefully located waterfront villa with beautiful garden and wildlife. This was our best accomodation in Srilanka so far. We stayed in the Junior Suite with bath & Terrace. It's a fantastic and comfortable luxury room with a private terrace and a very nice bathroom. The room is equipped with Aircondition, hot & cold water, dual use private bathroom, refrigerator, fan with regulator, Satellite Tv including all European channels, high speed Wifi, clean new white linen and bathroom towels, bathtub, bidet and high-quality fittings. And free Tea & Coffee and electric kettle, free bottled drinking water. All for USD 55 for the double room per night - amazing. The breakfast was amacing and included in the price. It included strong coffee, good Srilankan fresh fruits, jam, butter, toast and Srilankan omelette. Breakfast served in the restaurant while watching the small fishingboats. They served a very tasty seafood dinner with prawns & calamari incoconut cream, curry and green vegetables salad, which also was amacing, for just USD 15 p.p. After breakfast we enjoyed an unforgettable Bentota River Safari and saw many animals like

+This is a small family-run guesthouse near to Aluthgama and Bentota. It's slightly off the beaten track but you are rewarded as it is a very relaxing location on the river with a beautiful view. The walk into Bentota Beach is around 2km but worth it and Andre Peter, the son of the owner was kind enough to give us a lift (and buy us beers). The home-cooked food was absolutely excellent. We only had time to stay here for one night on our travels but they can arrange many local activities for you.
−Some people have mentioned mosquitos but this is no different to many other parts in Sri Lanka. You are after all near a lovely mangrove. However, they were unnoticeable if you have repellant with DEET.
