Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Thamburu! The property is new, clean and well-maintained. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We loved the food as well - the breakfasts starts with fresh fruit and then you can pick your mains so everything is prepared fresh. We also loved the pork and cashew curries from the dinner menu. There are some other restaurants in the area, but we chose to eat in the villa each night because it was that good! We also enjoyed watching the sunset on beanbags with drinks each night. Staying here was so relaxing and we can't wait to come back!

Pros:

Die ruhige Atmosphäre, das außergewöhnlich gute Essen und das Service möchten wir besonders hervorheben. Wir haben 3 wundervolle Tage hier verbracht. Die Architektur hat uns sehr angesprochen. Ein Fitness und Spa Bereich ist in Planung, was ein zusätzlicher Punkt sein wird, dass wir gerne zurück kommen werden.

Eine der besten Hotel Erfahrungen, die ich jemals hatte 😍 Absolute Empfehlung.
Pros:

Das Design ist sehr geschmackvoll und jedes Detail wurde überlegt und liebevoll gestaltet. Ein Hotel, in dem ich mich ab dem ersten Moment 100% wohl gefühlt habe. Die nahe Lage zur Straße ist clever gelöst, sodass man davon fast nichts mitbekommt. Dafür ist die Nähe zum leeren Strand einfach traumhaft. Das Essen ist hervorragend, der Service super freundlich und es wurde alles möglich gemacht ob Cocktail am Strand bei Sonnenuntergang, Early Checkin oder besondere Essenswünsche. Außerdem sieht und spürt man einfach, dass sich alle Angestellten wirklich gut um das Hotel und die Gäste kümmern.

Cons:

Excellent beach front property
Pros:

Beautiful water front location. Very quaint and quiet. Exceptional beach. Rooms are good.

Cons:

Floors are very slippery.
Vegetarian food options are limited but whatever is available is good. But there is food all around Bentota and we didn’t find that to be a big issue especially since we don’t like being locked in the property the entire day.

Enjoyable stay, staff were very helpful, good location. Very quiet maybe lacking in atmosphere
Pros:

Staff were very nice and location was very good. Pool was good and room was very comfortable.

Cons:

We enjoyed the breakfast, although the choice was set so a bit regimented, with so few guests an al a carte choice would be an improvement. Sea was on the rough side with some currents so we didn't swim in the sea.
