Elegant hotel resort is situated in peaceful place tropical garden nearby delightful Bentota Beach in Sri Lanka. On one side of the hotel is warm sea and on the other side is river named Bentota. In the hotel is swimming pool with excellent water bar where they prepare for you delicious drinks and meals. Furthermore, in hotel area is a gym and place where they make excellent massages. There is also magnific restaurant where you can choose from many types of meals typical for Sri Lanka and from European cuisine. In addition, the hotel is well situated near the beach. While there is a slow descent into the sea, the same cannot be say about waves which were sometimes very big, which may not be suitable for children. In the hotel are friendly staff who prepare for you for example elephant from towels and many other wonderful things for a tip. I really like the opportunity to have a wedding at the hotel which I didn't use because I'm already married. :-) For these reasons, I would recommend going to this hotel young couples without children who maybe think about wedding.

Warmly welcome by receptionists and had to wait for 15 minutes at the lobby due to check in process. Once the process completed we were moving toward to see amazing creations, views by Jefri Bawa. Had a lengthy chat with my friends while watching the beach front. Rooms are clean , tidy and old. Swimming Pool , Coastal line , billete table , Bar and classical music make us more comfy. Food was fabulous, we enjoyed it very well. Services at the Main dining area and restaurants were amazing, received more than expected. I must thank to Mr. Varnajith and his excellent service at Restaurant. Than You Blue Water and Mr. Varnajith
