I stayed in "Tanjipani" suite of this hotel for two days in April 2013 with my family. My kids (6Y and 12Y) enjoyed the large green garden, beach and two swimming pools with lovely warm water. The sports complex is good and well quipped. Choice of food and beverage at the restaurant were good and staff were friendly. The space... More

The pool is really unique with real rocks rising from under but those could hurt your toes. The Dinner was good but too official like. The breakfast was also nice. The beach was clean but not that...

We only spent the night at the Bentota Beach Hotel so my view may be limited. The first thing that struck me was that the Reception staff really needed more training and looked at my husband and I as if we were aliens! The bar staff were more switched on and very friendly. The food was OK but we had... More

I have had to think long and hard before writing this review as some things at the hotel were excellent but it has the strap line "Experience Tranquillity" and at times it failed in this, sometimes through no fault of the hotel.
