Shout out to everyone who made our stay memorable

It’s magnificent stay and the detail attention of staff with their smiling face and extra ordinary service as like cherry at the top of the cake

There was nothing not to like. My 3 day stay didn’t gave me any chance to even step out of the property and that proves how good the service was from staff in general, ashan the spa therapist and amazing pool side bar

Resort perfecto para desconectar y relajarse

Resort ubicado frente a la playa de Bentota con acceso directo des del resort. Instalaciones espectaculares para relajarse frente a la playa. Zonas comunitarias con jardín y piscina impecables. Las habitaciones están muy bien y muy limpias. A destacar el personal del hotel, las chicas de recepción son fantásticas y pese a tener que hacer el checkout a las 12am nos dejan disfrutar del hotel hasta la noche que sale nuestro vuelo, ofreciéndonos poder ducharnos antes de irnos. Dos restaurantes, uno estilo buffet para desayunar y cenar con los camareros Kelum, Dasun y Vikum, que son muy amables y otro a la carta que funciona durante todo el día. Lugar perfecto para hacer última parada antes de ir al aeropuerto en nuestra ruta por Sri Lanka y pasar unos días de relax.

Bester Aufenthalt in Sri Lanka, wenn man nur das Hotel betrachtet.

Perfekter Abschluss unserer Rundreise. Hotel zum entspannen. Das Frühstücksbuffet war super, große Auswahl und frisch gemacht. Abendessen war auch Buffet, sind aber mehr in Lokale in der Nähe gegangen (zu Fuß) Die Lage ist sehr gut. Der Strand ist zum Baden geeignet. Das Zimmer hatte sehr viel Platz und wurde regelmäßig sauber gemacht. W-Lan war hervorragend in der kompletten Anlage. Bei der ganzen Rundreise hatten die den Besten Kaffee auf dem Zimmer :) Das Personal war grandios, alle immer sehr freundlich und gut gelaunt.

Die verwirrte Rezeption ist etwas anstrengend, bekommen aber am Ende alles hin. Sie rechnen alles in Dollar, was mich persönlich etwas nervt. Da versucht man wochenlang mit der Umrechnung in Rupien ein Gefühl zu bekommen und die reden immer von Dollar. Hier sollten Sie etwas mehr Nationalstolz zeigen und Rupien verwenden. Immerhin zahlt man dann ja auch in Rupien...

I recommend staying in this resort

A very large selection for breakfast, a beautiful garden and an amazing evening croaking of frogs in the pond at the reception are an additional advantage ! I recommend staying in this resort!

Thoroughly enjoyable and would recommend the hotel.

Breakfast buffet was excellent with a choice of local as well a European cuisine. There a number of options to choose from. Staff were friendly and very welcoming, offering help when required. The room was comfortable and spacious. Location was excellent with Immediate proximity to the beach.

Choices for lunches and dinner were limited, however this was probably due to our visit being off season. Proximity to several other hotels meant this was not an issue in terms of finding alternative places to eat out.

Sehr ruhige und weitläufige Anlage, dennoch in die Jahre gekommen

Sehr weitläufige und schöne Gartenanlage, schön angelegte Pools, ausreichend Liegen vorhanden, sehr ruhige Anlage, schönes Wellness- Angebot, sehr schöner Strand.

Die Zimmer sind sehr in die Jahre gekommen, die Handtücher und Bettwäsche waren fleckig.

Very good

Great room. Good choice for breakfast

No same day laundry service. Travelled around Sri Lanka 3 times, touring & staying 2 or 3 nights in each place. This is the first hotel that does not cater for the traveller - forced into paying for the Express Service. The excuse that the laundry is not not on site - that is no excuse Asked if the receptionist would post two postcards for me - wanted money. What for? Stamps. Think you will see they have already been stamped!!

Very disappointed and surprised at Booking.com. You need to look at hotels you are advertising. This was way overpri

Nothing.

The property is very tired and run down. We now know it’s changing hands at the end of the month. The demeanour of the staff was depressing, not knowing if they had jobs. Sri Lankan people are known for their warmth and smiles. This was the only hotel we have ever stayed in where some made an effort, the majority didn’t even make eye contact. We really felt for them. We were the only people in Chatters, 3/4 staff on. We had 2 go and ask to be served. The placements were stained in fact, disgusting. Get your own threadbare beach towels. Very obvious not a 5star, possibly 2.

Beautiful, relaxing resort with amazing staff

Extremely friendly and helpful staff Beautiful grounds Great location right next to the beach and also near nice restaurants and some shops as well as the train station Comfy, spacious and clean rooms Good breakfast buffet with lot's of choices Nice spa

Our twin room request via booking.com did not go through, but the hotel arranged for a twin room for us within no time. Unfortunately, it was old, smelled damp and was not very clean. We asked for a different room the next day and got a beautiful alternative room and also a free dinner as compensation. The new room was world's away from our first room. One restaurant and bar were still closed, so food options during the day were limited to the pool bar/restaurant

Very good

Nice location, very friendly staff

1. Restaurant takes too much time in preparing food and they should increase staff in kitchen. Our order came aftet 1 hour and that too food quality was not good. We were not happy at all. We requested them to let their F&B manager talk to us but they never talked to us. Very unprofessional. 2. In pool table they do not have chalk fpr cue stick and when i asked them they said they dont have , they said they provide pool table for free so they will not give chalk, so i asked how would we play then and they dont have an answer. This is not expected from a 5 start hotel like Avani.

A Generic Resort without any "X Factor"

Great service Nice big swimming pool (2 of em) Right on the beach

Expensive for what you get 400 sq ft room sounds very large but it isn't really More of a family staycation place Crowded beach with multiple resorts by each other Doesn't really have charm and quietness, very generic "resort" vibe, so it doesn't feel "special"

The property & location was fantastic. the best swimming beach in Sri lanka. the staff were exceptional. A special thank you to Mr Ashaan & Mr Lahiru for going the extra mile to accommodate us with our reservation & dinner requests as we were a family of 13 & occupied 5 rooms. Also mr Jayantha & Ranjan as well as the cleaning staff. All the staff were exceptional.

overall a nice stay for 3 nights

nice location on Bentota beach, which has lovely sand and clear blue sea (quite strong waves). the hotel is nice and clean, with large pools and coconut grove to sunbath under. food at the hotel was good, although we chose to eat out most evenings, and recommend island seafood restaurant (prawn curry) staff were all very friendly and helpful, and always looking to help to provide whatever you needed

the hotel won’t give any recommendations so you will need to do your own research

Pleasant

The hotel entrance was very inviting, the staff were super friendly, the public areas and the room were super clean, has access to public beach and their pool is very nice… also it is close to many very good seafood restaurants. I would like to give a big thanks to Thasmi the guest relations officer for all her help and friendliness, the check in experience was extremely professional and smooth

Breakfast wasn’t that great, below average and a bit poor of options.

Great Service, friendly people

We are from germany and stayed our first 3 nights in Sri lanka in avani bentota. The Sri Lanka Trip is our honeymoon. We arrived at 5 o clock in the Night. The Hotel offerred a early Check in and a room Upgrade for free. We had a huge and clean room. All the people are very friendly. The service is amazing. The Hotel and the Garden is very clean. The Hotel has 2 big Pools and very convertable sun beds. You can can easy walk outside for restaurants, shops, Supermarktes and Bank. We take euro and change it at the Ceylon bank without fees and for a good Rate. You also can change Money in the Hotel if you like. The breakfast was great, also the cocktails on the bar. We also watched the other Hotels in the Area, but the avani looks the best and has the best Beach Part.
