Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers big spacious rooms with a clean washroom, overlooking the ocean, making the stay quite pleasant. However, there was an issue with bugs in the room.
The hotel offers a great view of the pool and beach, and the rooms facing the beach provide a stunning sunset view each night. The room was good overall, but there was a delay in getting the room ready past the advertised check-in time. The service was on point with fantastic staff, although some areas required tipping for amenities. The location is perfect, set right on the beachfront, ideal for families or couples looking for a relaxing retreat. The dining experience had a variety of options, catering to different tastes, but at times there were limited choices. The facilities were well-equipped, and the amenities were satisfactory.
The hotel is situated right on the edge of beautiful Bentota beach, offering easy access to the pool and restaurant. The rooms are well-appointed, quiet, and boast great views. However, some may find them drab, shabby, and lacking privacy due to cheap furnishings. The location is fantastic for beach lovers, but the dining options might not suit everyone's taste.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its beautiful location right on the edge of Bentota beach. The fantastic food in the restaurant was a definite highlight, although the room wasn't ready until 45 minutes after the check-in time, even with an early check-in request.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms overlooking the relaxing pool and stunning water views. The service was excellent, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The location was fantastic, right in front of the paradise beach with warm water. The dining options were adequate, but some improvements could be made. Overall, a great experience with a few minor drawbacks.
Staying at the ground floor was convenient for a leisurely stroll, but the lack of facilities was a downside. The service was exceptionally warm and accommodating, especially during uncertain travel times. The location, albeit close to the beach, had some minor delays in service. The dining offerings were diverse but limited with early breakfast timings. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
