I had mixed feelings about this resort. The facilities are beautiful. The pool is great and super relaxing. The only downside is that the pool hours are not ideal for vacation. When spending time at a resort I would like to utilise the facilities till at least 8pm. The pool was also not open and ready on time the next day, so we were not able to use it before departure. The resort is on the beach and has a nice walking path along the side. We didn't have the greatest experience spending the night at the resort. There were a lot of people at the resort for some private function and they were extremely disruptive until 3 in the morning. Shouting and running in the corridors, ringing our doorbell, singing songs. The resort has limited options for dinner and all the places open late in the evening. The staff were very friendly, but I don't think I would recommend this resort to anyone.

My stay at the hotel was overall quite enjoyable. The highlight of the experience started with a lovely boat ride to the hotel, which set the tone for a relaxing getaway. Upon arrival, I was impressed by the cozy and inviting surroundings that instantly made me feel at ease. The rooms were incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean, and well-maintained, offering the perfect environment to unwind after a long day. The bed was comfortable, and the amenities provided were more than adequate. The breakfast buffet was a true delight, offering a wide variety of dishes that catered to different tastes, with everything from fresh fruits to delicious pastries and hot meals. However, I did feel that the dinner buffet fell short in comparison, with fewer choices and less flavorful options. One of the standout features of the hotel was its massive swimming pool, which was perfect for a refreshing dip or lounging by the water on a sunny day. The tranquil surroundings and beautifully landscaped grounds added to the overall charm of the place, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. While there were a few minor areas that could be improved, like the dinner selection, the overall experience was highly enjoyable. The combination of the boat ride, spacious rooms, and excellent breakfast buffet made it a memorable stay.

Great location to have vacation with nice people. Situated between the river and beach offers great views. The staff is very friendly and offers very good service. The meals were very tasty and there was a large spread in the buffet. Rooms are specious and clean. Well equipped with toiletries and amenities. Coffee tea making facilities are available in the room. There could be maintenance issues as the TV in the room was broken as the sound was distorted and the display had issues. The bathroom door handle was loose and often fell down. The gym is well equipped and was in good condition. Kids club is there where it's possible for kids to do some fun activities while parents have some time off. There is a large pool with kids area. Water sports is one of the main activities you can do here other than the great beach.

Amazing service, very peaceful location with not a large crowd plus they have access to one of the cleanest beach sections. However, our room had a flooding AC leak (Room 2003). We didn’t really raise it since we were there only for a couple hours, but it would have been nice for them to perform proper checks. Also, the day outing lunch buffet is not the best. The waiting staff provided exceptionally good hospitality and service but the food was just a 6/10.

Hotel entry like james bond 😸 . We had a fantastic one night despite the rainy weather. The low crowd meant we had the entire hotel almost to ourselves, including the pool, which was a great perk. We enjoyed a private outdoor cabin for our hangout, and it was wonderful. Foods are very tests. Highly Recommended ❤️❤️❤️

We had a nice holiday weekend at the hotel with my family today and the service was amazing. Great location, close to the beach and clean rooms with all amenities. Friendly staff and good food. Happy to come back again.

A hotel which is located in Bentota with access to the beach. Guests who visit can have a relaxed, calm trip. Friendly customer service was provided by the staff which we recommend. Pool table also available for guest, with access to two pools. Was given a free upgrade to a better room based on availability as well. Thank you. Will recommend to others!

We had an amazing experience at Thaala, Bentota close to Bentota beach during our holidays. The staff was so friendly. The rooms were neat and clean. This hotel will facilitate a good stay with nice memories.

The hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Helped with all concerns. Most of all, I would like to thank the administrator Amali Roche for her pleasant communication and sincerity, her smile brightened the day.

The location and the environment is the only good thing in the hotel. The rooms were small (deluxe) and the service is very poor for a five star hotel. We indicated the room service notification but it was not honored. The food was good but very few variations in the buffet compared to other hotels in this budget range. The place has beach access and a playground area which is nice. Few activities were there such as pool table, chess, table tennis and carom. Swimming pool area was good but small in size and 1.2m deep.

Great Location and the rooms had nice sea view. Deluxe Sea view rooms are smaller in size but had a nice sea view with a small balcony. Biggest let down was the food buffet and the service. Do not expect 5 star buffet at this hotel despite the name. Again this is subjective. Try it and see yourself :) I cancelled my second night as I didn't find value for money. Cancellation was smooth and duty manager was helpful.

All I can saw is wow. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the staff in ceremonial fashion, through to the room, amazing food offerings at the restaurant and the stunning beaches. This place was phenomenal to stay and spend our summer holiday. The staff were all so welcoming and helpful as far as they could. Sam especially was wonderful everyday he helped us with seating and taking care of us during breakfast and dinners. Can't wait to come back here again!

Our beach front room had a beautiful view of Indian ocean. Room size is adequate. All amenities were working well. Swimming pool was great.

The overall experience was great from the welcome and check in all the way up to the checking out. The food was delicious and had a lot of variety, the only thing that I hope would've been included in the buffet was a bit more variety of seafood (crabs, lobster and maybe oysters since we are near the sea side and what not 😁). The rooms were great but I do feel like for the triple room that I booked it was a little bit cramped since the single bed was placed in front of the sofa but for a double room the space is really big. The sea views and the beaches were beautiful and the pool was great too. Also I did notice that when we arrived we got handed a list of activities that were taking place each day but I'd see any of these events happening like beach volleyball, magic show and activities at the pool. Maybe it was because we staying during a poya day but I was a little bit let down because of that. But overall I'd rate the experience a 4.5/5 and would definitely be interested in staying again in the future and can gladly recommend anyone else to stay as well.
