What We Think?
Why not call any of our Tour Consultants on 020 7100 2323 – they have ALL been to The Bentota Beach Hotel and can answer any of your questions!

In A Nutshell:
The Bentota Beach Hotel is one of the most popular beach hotels in Sri Lanka. The main attraction here is the really relaxed atmosphere and a prime location at Bentota between the lagoon and the Indian Ocean. You can stroll around the huge coconut palm gardens and the beach is fairly private. Great water sports centre – the best in Sri Lanka.

Tips: The hotel is great for families mainly because of all the activities offered at the Club Intersports complex next to the lagoon. If you want a better view, you need to opt for the 1st Floor Superior Rooms that have good views of the lagoon or the ocean although the rooms are basically the same as the Standard Rooms on the Ground Floor.
