I have returned from a five night stay at the Avani bentota. It is a beautiful property that is understated and stylish in design. The outdoor area is superb with the garden and pool area being a highlight. The beach is also fantastic although too rough for swimming. The rooms are a pleasing design with the deluxe rooms having a... More

Before booking our trip, we narrowed it down to Bentota Beach Hotel and Avani Bentota Resort and Spa, which is located just next door. We chose Avani, thankfully. We visited Bentota for lunch one day to look at what we were missing and as it turns out, this place is a complete dump. While we only toured the outside of... More

The resort is between a lagoon, river and ocean - how cool. Rooms were small but clean. Yes they do need some updating - but they were doing some work while we were there. Pool was wonderful - although very warm. The food was good, but the staff in the restaurant are a bit too keen on taking away plates... More

This is the 7th time my husband and I have stayed in this hotel. We make it a point to stay (even if only for a couple of days) at this hotel whenever we visit Sri-Lanka (which is annually). The service is fantastic - the staff so courteous, friendly and helpful - we feel very spoilt and at home!! 1)... More

This was our fourth visit to Sri Lanka and the third time we have stayed here. Apart from the initial administration problems (not for the first time were our booking details incorrect), everything here is lovely. The restaurant, bar and room staff are amazingly friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean, the surroundings are beautiful and the food exceptionally well... More
