We had an amazing experience at Bentota Ceysands hotel during our friends’ day out! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was top-notch, making our stay both comfortable and memorable. Highlight of experience started with lovely boat ride to the hotel reception. The hotel was conveniently located near major attractions, making it easy for us to explore. They have lot of water sport activities and we chose boat ride to visit mangroves. It was very fantastic experience and boatman also very friendly.
The rooms were well-maintained, cozy, and had all the amenities we needed. The in-house restaurant served delicious meals. We enjoyed the pool games which made our day out even more fun. The hotel staff was polite, helpful, friendly , and ensured we had a hassle-free stay.
Overall, Bentota Ceysands Hotel was the perfect choice for our friends’ getaway! We will definitely be coming back for another fun-filled stay. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently had a team outing, where we participated in some team-building activities and enjoyed a relaxing time. However, our time for the buffet was limited, as we arrived at 2:30 pm, and at 3:00 pm, a staff member came to inform us that the buffet would close in 5 minutes. My manager kindly requested an extra 10 minutes, but the staff member refused in a very unpleasant manner. This was by far the worst customer service I have encountered at a hotel with a 4-star rating!
To make matters worse, while we were eating, the same staff member approached us asking for our entry tickets, making it feel as though we were being treated like freeloaders. My manager had her ticket in her bag, but the staff member stood there waiting for her to hand it over while she was eating.
If your team is considering a day out here, I strongly advise against it. Almost every staff member seems to have the same poor attitude. They strictly enforce rules and guidelines but fail to treat guests with respect. If they continue this way, I’m certain they will lose their 4-star status.
Additionally, when the food ran out, there was no effort to refill the buffet. This is definitely not an ideal place for a team outing.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at NH Bentota, a stunning seaside resort that offers a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The location is absolutely breathtaking, with mesmerizing ocean views and serene surroundings that make it a must-visit destination.
The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-appointed, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay. The swimming pool is a highlight – it’s a must-try! The pool area is beautifully maintained, offering a tranquil vibe with views that make it even more special.
The food at NH Bentota was another standout feature. They offer a wide variety of delicious cuisines, catering to different tastes, and every meal was a delightful experience.
One unique aspect of this place is that it seems to attract mostly foreign visitors, which adds to the vibrant and international atmosphere. If you’re looking for a serene escape by the sea and an unforgettable experience, NH Bentota is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

I genuinely had fun celebrating Christmas with my family at this hotel. The staff are friendly, easy to work with, and provide great service. The rooms were spacious, clean, and tidy, and worth the price, to add on this beautiful beach is right next to the hotel showcasing the beauty of the location of the hotel . We even got a boat ride to the hotel, which is pretty unique . The only thing holding my rating back from being 5 stars is the food which the hotel falls short in that regard. The food is bland and not very appetising, fortunately the staff and the buffet are very nice and sweet so it’s not all that bad. However, other than that, I enjoyed my stay at NH Bentota and will be excited to come back.

The views from almost any corner of the resort are spectacular! The rooms are well designed, spacious and once again offer wonderful views of the ocean. The boat ride across the river to the hotel was a pleasant surprise. Food is great. Staff is super helpful and courteous. Can't wait to go back!
