Rough Guide to Sri Lanka , Nov 2006
One of the West Coast’s oldest resort hotels and the first designed by Geoffrey Bawa. The distinctive pagoda-style main building still serves as a local landmark. Bawa’s innovative designs have been much tampered with, sadly, though elements of the original conception survive, such as the stunning batik ceiling in reception and the frangipani-studded courtyard pool.
Sri Lanka – the Bradt Travel Guide, Second edition , Sep 2006
A pioneering beach hotel dating from the 1970s, it is still setting the standard for resort hospitality
Lonely Planet Sri Lanka, 2006
This is another Bawa designed hotel. The 133 rooms are large and of top-end standard and all have beach views from a balcony or terrace
Footprint Sri Lanka, 4th Edition
comfortable rooms, design reminiscent of a Dutch Fort, luxurious layout in extensive gardens, good beach, full facilities including hotel elephant
Customer Feedback
Jan 30, 2009 : The location was idyllic. We felt that dining room was too small for the clients
---PD – London

Jul 30, 2008 : The one let down was Bentota beach hotel, it could easily have spoilt our trip had we by then not been so relaxed.
CG – London, UK
Jul 07, 2008 : Much too big and not really a beach hotel despite its location. Too impersonal. Excellent room
AB – Aldbourne
Jul 19, 2007 : I was very disappointed and only stayed one night as a result. Accommodation was very dated and restaurant was like a school canteen with food to match. We found the staff quite rude, unlike everywhere else where people couldn’t do enough for us.
