Espirit Bentota lovely place
Pros:

I stayed at Espirit Bentota for 2 days and had a really pleasant experience. The owner, Lex, is a genuinely kind and helpful person who responded quickly to all my queries and cleared all my doubts, making the stay smooth and stress free. The rooms are spacious and the washroom is equally big and clean, with the AC working perfectly which was a big relief. The balcony was a great spot to relax as well. The food at the downstairs restaurant was lovely, and a special mention to Chandu and Sadee who went out of their way to help and made the experience even better. Overall, a great place with warm hospitality and I would definitely recommend it.

Very nice and comfortable stay
Pros:

The staff was very welcoming and a surprise was live music until 9. The food at the restaurant was really good, and we had an enjoyable evening there. The rooms were really large, very appealing, great beds and really large balconies. A really great value for the money. The beach was close, clean and had a nice playtime in the water!
