Sandali Walauwa in Bentota

The room and the buildings were just beautiful. The room was big and I loved the beautiful garden. The pool looked good, though I didn’t try it. The hotel has its own tuk tuk that can take you to town forms small fee. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was just right. My room had garden view which meant that the tracks were right there at the end of the garden. The sound didn’t bother me. But you can hear it in the room so if you’re a light sleeper this might not be the hotel for you. The garden view was wonderful though. The hotel does not have a private beach. You have to cross the tracks in order to go to the beach, but it’s a couple of minutes walk from the hotel so it’s not a days hike away:) There is a nice restaurant with sunbeds and parasols on the beach that you can use for free if you buy things from the restaurant. Unfortunately the waves were to big so I couldn’t swim in the sea which also meant that I checked out after two nights. I was meant to stay for 4. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was just right. I took a trip to Galle from here which the hotel helped me find a driver for a reasonable price.

Dinesh was excellent to help you out, he took us in tuk tuk to the beach, restaurant, shops, always on hand to help you, would pick you up and bring you back.other staff were attentive to your needs. Pool was excellent, clean, and refreshing.rooms were clean and tidy.

Great food. Polite staff. No utensils in the room. Quiet place and near the beach. Uncrowded. Sometimes you can hear a passing train, which is perceived more as entertainment. Some of the staff know Russian. In the evenings the Internet is virtually nonexistent.

Nice place, nice staff. Clean pool, night lighting. Tasty European Breakfast. Dinner was also delicious)
To the beach 300 meters.
The railway is very close but rooms are almost unheard of.

An oasis just outside Bentota

Very nice place..Rooms are nice and so was the staff...

Spacious and clean rooms and good breakfast spread.
