Cinnamon Bentota Beach

This was our first visit to Cinnanom Bentota Beach and it was a truly fabulous stay. From the moment of our arrival, all the staff at Bentota Beach went way above and beyond to ensure our time was as enjoyable and relaxing as it could possibly be. Lakmi Lakshika (Guest Services Manager) and the reception team welcomed us so warmly on our arrival and provided us a personal tour of the hotel to show us where everything was before arriving at our rooms. Our rooms were lovely and spacious and all amenities were available. Ruwan and his colleagues provided exceptional housekeeping services for our rooms and anything we needed was always efficiently and quickly provided. On the All Inclusive package, the food and drinks available were plentiful and very tasty and I loved having traditional Sri Lankan food readily available for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Priyantha and his Food and Beverages team provided excellent service in the restaurants and bars. Pradeep and his team of pool attendants also provided excellent service to us during our stay and there was always a plentiful supply of sun lounges and fresh towels readily available whenever needed. We really did have an exceptional stay at Bentota Beach and would absolutely stay there again without hesitation. I would also make special mention to Lakmi Lakshika who was so attentive and went above and beyond every day to ensure everything was just perfect for us during our stay.

From check-in to check-out, the experience was seamless and welcoming. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food options were excellent, diverse and delicious. The rooms were spotless, with beautifully maintained facilities throughout the property. While the à la carte menu prices were a bit on the higher side, the overall quality made it worthwhile. Truly a memorable getaway!

Great hotel experience. Family friendly and great staff. Very clean and renovated rooms makes it even better al luxurious. Highly recommended

We've just completed a superb 15 night stay at the Cinnamon Bentota Beach hotel to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. This was our first trip to both the hotel and to Sri Lanka, and both exceeded our expectations. The Cinnamon Bentota is a wonderful hotel that's located in a truly beautiful setting between the sea and the river. The hotel has a very friendly and relaxed vibe and the staff do all they can to look after you, whether this be assisting you with sun loungers, towels and refreshments at the pools, or looking after you in the dining room. As our stay was on a B&B basis, we ate both at a number of local restaurants and within the hotel. The hotel food was both very tasty and varied, with the buffet meal offering Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese and European cuisine. We also enjoyed our meals out, but the restaurants were pretty empty due to it being low season. The hotel provides easy access to a lovely sandy beach, but at the time of our visit (28 Jun - 13 Jul) bathing is not advisable due to strong rip tides. We had a lovely second floor sea view room complete with superb balcony, which we used to relax and watch the sun set. The room did not disappoint, and was spacious, clean and well equipped. The cleaning staff did a terrific job and made sure we had what we needed. Our stay was during the low season, so apart from weekends when numbers increased, the hotel was quiet and under occupied, but for us, that was ideal. In summary, we loved this hotel and hope to return one day. We'd like to thank all the staff for making us feel so welcome and for looking after all our needs. Whilst there were so many people that we would like to thank individually, it's difficult to do so as there are so many of you that stood out. However, on a personal note I'd like to thank Prabath and Lalitha (resident artist) for their friendship and help with packing out souvenir picture, which thankfully we got home in one piece !

Absolutely 5 star luxury but so quietly delivered. Rooms large, beautifully appointed and room service twice daily. Ocean view stunning. Pools relaxing, pool bar quiet and attentive. Buffet a highlight (and it’s not normally our thing) - food is 6 star. The hotel and grounds are architectural stunning and the tour well worth it. If you’re looking for quality service, not shouting out individuals as all excellent, in a tropical paradise. Look no further.
