The Residence Bentota

The owner settled me in a one-room apartment instead of a two-room apartment with a terrace, balcony, kitchen, refrigerator without all these amenities. There was only one working socket for charging gadgets and a kettle. But though the room was clean and there was an aircon inside. Bedsheets were clean as well. They also provide a towel for free. As for bath and toilet it was also clean. There was hot water but no shampoo/shower gel in bath cabins. But there was a toilet paper. There was a kettle in the room. As for cold drinking water they don't provide it. Internet connection wasn't working all the time. There was a pretty good breakfast with fried 2 eggs, 4 tosts (but 2 of them were from old dried bread), butter and jam, fruits (3 pieces of watermelon and papaya, 2 bananas) and 2 drinks as tea/coffee and freshly made juice. Located in 5 mins walking distance from beach. The staff was accomodating and helpful.

Wir kommen schon 8 Jahre lang einmal jährlich in diese Anlage. Die ersten Jahre waren sehr ruhig und man kannte sich. Nun sind mittlerweile Hostelzimmer und neue Appartemens dazu gekommen und dadurch ist natürlich lauter und belebter. Aber man kann trotzdem Ruhe und Entspannung finden. Der Pool mit ionisiertem Wasser lädt zum schwimmen ein. Die Anlage wird durch den Gärtner hervorragend gepflegt und auch das andere Personal sind bemüht, es allen recht zu machen. In diesem Jahr gab es neue Sonnenliegen. Und vielleicht kommt das eine oder andere Haus in nächster Zeit eine Verschönerung.

During our stay at The Residence Bentota, we were surrounded by attentive and caring staff who made our experience all the more enjoyable. Everything impressed us, from the friendly and helpful staff to our spacious two-story villa, the clean and well-maintained pool (which doesn't use chlorine), and the beautiful territory. The property is surrounded by palm trees, tropical trees, flowers, and a variety of unusual birds and animals such as chipmunks, peacocks, mongooses, and monitor lizards. The beach is conveniently located just a 7-minute walk away, although it's worth noting that you need to cross a railway bridge to get there. You can catch a tuk-tuk (right outside the hotel gates) and go to more remote places - we went to Moragalla beach, it’s cool - there you can relax, eat, and, if you wish, buy clothes)). Grocery stores, fruit stalls, cafes, and restaurants, everything is nearby, everything is accessible. In any case, the staff will advise you on the best places to buy something, where to go on an excursion, which beach to choose, etc., and will help resolve emerging issues. For example, our flight was canceled due to flooding in Dubai, and we needed to extend our villa at the last minute. So we stayed another extra day in our house calmly and finally went home rested and happy. We are thankful for the excellent service, and highly recommend The Residence Bentota to everyone!❤️.
