Une halte bien trop courte dans ce paradis
Pros:

On a tout adoré dans ce magnifique établissement. La décoration est impeccable, la propreté du lieu est sans faille, l’emplacement proche de l’océan avec le train qui passe devant, la piscine parfaite pour des longueurs, la gentillesse du personnel, le calme…on reviendra

Cons:

Rien du tout

Memorable 3 night stay in a beautiful setting.
Pros:

Absolutely wonderful 3 nights spent at the Villa Bentota.
The hotel was designed by Geoffrey Bawa, the famous Sri Lankan architect, and it is absolutely beautiful with lovely gardens and a path to a pristine beach across the train track.
Our room was spacious, clean, colonial in style with a comfortable bed.
Breakfast was really nice, relaxed with fresh fruits and cooked breakfast, Sri Lankan or Western.
Lastly, but not least, everyone who worked there was super friendly and helpful, service was great throughout.
Recommend in a heartbeat.

Cons:

Everything was great.

A besoin de grands travaux !
Pros:

Le lieu est sublime. Luxe calme et volupté !

Cons:

Le bruit hallucinant du train qui fait trembler les murs !
Nous avions une suite, qui au finale est une grande chambre familiale car il n'y a pas d'intimité.
Il y a des fissures un peu partout, il faut vraiment tout rénover.
Le SPA n'est pas à la hauteur, un minuscule salle de massage avec un éclairage au néon.
Pas de fruit de mer ou de poisson du jour à la carte bien que la mer soit à 100m. Vraiment trop cher !

Lovely building and grounds, let down by food and drink
Pros:

The grounds are very beautiful. The location moments from the very beautiful beach was charming.

Cons:

All in all the food and drink was disappointing and some of the blandest during a 3 week stay in Sri Lanka. It was also very expensive too. We stayed in more high end hotels during our stay in Sri Lanka, where the food was cheaper and more tastier. It was a real shame you had to request in a day advance a Sri Lankan style hoppers breakfast. There was hardly any guests who stayed there when we were visiting yet we were pestered every day multiple times what time we would be dining.
