Beautiful Resort

We were welcomed with big smiles and fresh complimentary juices. Our room was upgraded without additional fees. Good variety of breakfast. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Mendis & Sudish who work at Breeze Restaurant. The hotel and surroundings are very neat, also easy access to the beach. Near to seafood restaurants. Excellent service throughout the stay. Totally recommend!

Överlag är vi nöjda och det var väldigt avslappnat, vilket var syftet med hela resan. Menyn vid poolbaren behöver verkligen förbättras. Inget av det vi beställde smakade som det skulle

Beautiful beach and nice hotel garden with two beautiful pools. Quite and calm and pleasant atmosphere. Not crowdy. Good food at the restaurants but boring breakfast with very little to choose from with focus on indian style breakfast. Cheap cheese, cheap juices, cheap yoghurt. Perfect location for a beach holiday.

Westernized Resort with Western Prices

Although the facility and location were lovely, the value for what staying here cost was not what I expected. For example, my room was provided only 2 small courtesy bottles of water a day. I guess I just expected more service and “perks” for the princely sum I paid per night. The first day I had no towels. I called the front desk before heading outside but they still were not delivered and I had to go in person to request them. The food in the breakfast buffet and one restaurant I ate at was only so-so. It seems they are catering more toward westerners who don’t want a local experience, but would rather stay in their comfort zone. I had a delicious meal outside the resort for much less money. When I was shown to my room, the resort features were pointed out including the restaurants, spa, and pools. I was cautioned about swimming in the ocean because of currents, but it felt like the staff was just trying to keep guests within the resort. The proximity to the beach is why I chose the location and despite the warnings I spent considerable time on the beach and in the ocean which was warm and inviting with gentle waves and no undertow.

Хороший отель на берегу океана

Расположен на жд станции Бентота. Ухоженная чистая территория с бурундучками, пляж желтый песок, море с волнами. На территории чистые бассейны в которых в основном все купались. Поезда изредка слышны, но это не напрягает. Отель советую на несколько дней

Hold jer væk fra dette helvede!

Det her er alt andet end 5 stjernet! Værste hotel jeg nogensinde har været på! Da vi ankom havde de ikke vores booking, og de havde en arrogant opførelse. Vi fik hotels.com til at ringe til dem og bekræfte, og de løftede bare røret og lagde på igen. Efter næsten en time fik vi et værelse der havde mug på væggene og gulvet boblede op grundet vandskade. Der var spindelsvæv alle steder. Da vi gjorde opmærksom på dette blev vi mødt med en uinteresseret og arrogant attitude. De ville ikke engang se værelset. Vi fik nu et værelse der lå langt fra alt andet, lige ud til en jernbane, der holdte os vågen hele natten. Ved poolen fik vi en parasol der var levende! Flere 1000 myrer kravlede inde i den, da medarbejderen fra poolen åbnede den. Han lukkede den blot sammen og viste os over til en anden, der var helt gennemhullet. De gjorde ikke mere ved problemet efter. Der var et par der havde sex i poolen, foran 2 medarbejdere, der blot kiggede på. De gjorde intet ved dette problem heller ej. Halvdelen af restauranterne på hotellet, er lukket. De sprøjter gift mod myg på hele hotellet uden advarsel, så man indånder det. Generelt en forfærdelig oplevelse, hold jer væk fra det her sted.

Check-in & check-out seemed to be at the same time so it was very chaotic when we arrived, we didn't get our room until 430pm but the manager was very lovely & gave us free drinks & food while we waited. Great size room with all the facilities we needed. Great choice at the buffet for breakfast. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

God service & god komfort

Veldig fornøyd med dette hotellet. Meget god service. Rent og pent. Noen mygg inne på rommet som kom inn mest sannsynlig under de daglige rengjøringene (morgen & kveld), men foruten om det var alt meget bra. Sluket og vannet trakk ned noe tregt. Fint området & basseng. Grei mat i bufféen. Fin romantisk middag på stranden.
