Thaala Bentota

amazing

We come to SL to visit family every couple of years and have come to this hotel a number of times. It recently changed ownership and we were delighted to find the character of the place unchanged. Bawa’s original design is fully respected with many of the wonderful staff staying on after the change. The food is always great and the staff are top notch. We will always return here when we come.

Thaala Benthota.. you beauty Amazing experience from start to the end. Specially very unique welcome that we experienced by lighting the oil lamp. Thank you Yohan for the great support throughout and special thanking goes to Thasmi by hosting us to till the room by explaining the all the facilities and services that hotel has. Also looked after us till we checked out. Lovely food. Great stuff. Also special thanking goes to Promodaya and Mendis giving us best service at the restaurant. We shall come back soon. Cheers !!!

We came to thaala for our last 6 days of our 12 day trip to Sri Lanka, which was a brilliant time. The hotel was clean and most of the staff were friendly. We did feel let down for our last day to not get a late check out as our pick up for the airport was 10pm but they did offer a wash room for us to change clothing if required. The food was good and there was plenty of options, the spa was really professional along with friendly staff and a great price.

We arrived there at night and we had two elderly ladies with us and we were informed that there were no lifts in the hotel, so we requested for our rooms to be on the ground level. Once the rooms were shown to us; one was full with mosquitoes and was not clean and the other had geckos, so we asked them for a change of the room as there is no way we would sleep in them and the staff was unresponsive. Also, wheel chair service was not available. As for the dinner, the variety was okay. We ended up checking out the same night and shifted to another hotel with better services.

It was a nice stay and service was really good and the rooms are good with a sea view and cool breeze too.. And we thank Asanka in special for his great support and humble service.. we are very pleased and happy for the cake arrangements they did for my son's birthday during our stay.. overall we loved the place and the ambiance..would recommend Avani bentota for anyone for a wonderful vacation..
