Location is amazing. Like a little private island. Entrance to the resort is like a nice walk in mangrove jungle. It’s really well mantained. We stayed in the ac room and the room was super clean, really comfortable and well decorated. Staff and the owner, ware really helpful and really sweet to us. We can totally recommend to stay here.

The Staff of Ellankanda Villa made our stay so very pleasent. The food was excellent(!) and we always felt very cared about. Rooms are very clean and you can tell that there is a sense of detail, which give the place its charme. It is a quite place, but you can nicely explore the area by yourself (or in our case we were even gives a small tour by the Staff - thank you again!). Absolut recommendation if you want to spend some quite days in a great place.

Breakfast and dinner were excellent. The host family was exceptional, just all round lovely people. Vish brought us on a wonderful tour of Bentota in his Tuk Tuk, and taught us about Buddhist culture and traditions. We even visited a dog sanctuary! Rooms were very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Our stay at Ahu Bay was nothing short of exceptional. The property itself is breathtaking, set between two bays with panoramic ocean views that create the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The rooms are beautifully designed, spacious, and immaculately maintained, blending comfort with understated luxury. Dining at Ahu Bay was a highlight of the entire experience. The seafood, in particular, was outstanding — fresh, carefully prepared, and always cooked to perfection. The menu offers a thoughtful mix of local flavours and international favourites, each dish presented with genuine care and creativity. Every meal felt memorable. What truly sets Ahu Bay apart, however, is the quality of its staff. From the front desk to the restaurant and beyond, every member of the team was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay feel special. Their professionalism and hospitality elevated the experience far beyond expectation. A heartfelt thank you to Abhishek for his exceptional hospitality and to the entire team for ensuring that our time at Ahu Bay was so memorable. We look forward to returning and could not recommend it more highly.

Amazing experience! Location is perfect for people who like to have an affordable and quite place for themselves in paradise. You will have your own beach and your own restaurant with mostly traditional food. Accomodation is basic but cosy, clean and comfortable. Room is spacious with nice bed, very good AC, cattle and fridge. Huge window with romantic sea view and bathroom is big and clean. Restaurant will serve you delicious breakfast, excellent fresh juices (ask for local kirala-mangrove apple with young cocconut), cold refreshments and tasty meals made with local veggies, sea food, chicken or pork. Place is run by local youth, so you might get a beach volleyball game with boys who will also help you to go around, rent a scooter, teach some sinhala. There is top ayurvedic center in close vicinity. Highly recommended!

We've spent our first days of our trip here and it couldn't have started better. Nelson, Alexandra and their amazing team made us feel like at home. Their mentality that you come as a guest and leave as a friend is really shown in everything they do. Beautiful setting, delicious breakfast and dinners and above all the passion and kindness that we've got by everyone at La Perla left us speechless. We will be back. Best accommodation in Sri Lanka on our trip. Anton still talks about the coconuts :-)

We had an unforgettable stay at Amber House. The room was enormous, with all modern comforts, a very spacious bathroom, and a king-size bed that made our nights perfect. The home-cooked meals were absolutely delicious, and every detail showed how much care was put into making our stay special. We loved the complimentary boat ride to the stunning, endless beach – such a unique and beautiful experience. The boat safari on the river and through the mangroves, guided by Shen, was a real highlight and gave us lasting memories. Most of all, the hospitality of our hosts, Nuwan and his lovely wife, together with their attentive and friendly team, made us feel truly at home. Their warmth and kindness turned our stay into something exceptional. We highly recommend Amber House to anyone visiting Bentota – we cannot wait to come back!
