The Club Bentota is lovely - the arrival by boat is great!! They welcome you so warmly and in no time at all you are in your room - for a lovely hot shower. The rooms are a bit tired and need upgrading but the showers are really good and powerful - the rooms are cleaned to a high standard.... More

Had a great holiday at Club Bentota. Very friendly staff (some of the bar staff were slightly miserable but probably no worse that at your local pub) and Sri Lankans as a people are wonderfully friendly and helpful.

We complained about the rundown nature of the rooms and terrible smell but, were simply moved 4 doors down. This room was exactly the same (including... More

We stayed for 6 nights as part of a two centre holiday. Had read some pretty mixed reviews so really was not sure what to expect!!! After a very long journey starting at Heathrow with the plane being 2hrs late we finally arrived at Club Bentota the next evening at 21.30pm, very tired hot and grumpy but the minute we... More

Kuoni got back to me and refunded me amount spent in spice and herb garden. Am too ashamed to admit how much. Kuoni rocks.
