"Friendly and happy staff in all areas which says a lot about how the hotel is run.
Had my room unexpectedly upgraded on arrival due to a fault found with the originally booked room.
The room I had did have a small issue with the private jacuzzi leaking but no major issues.
Food and drink were excellent throughout my stay.
Highly recommend staying here to anybody wanting a few days of relaxing peace after touring the country."

"Thaala Bentota is an excellent place to relax during a vacation. Awesome location and amazing food. The rooms and fittings inside the room are a bit worn out and may need replacement to enhance the visitors' experience."

"The location (Bentota, Induruwa) and Pandanus hotel is the best option for the beach accomodation if you are looking for a modern 4* medium size, well kept, reasonably priced hotel. Clean beach because it is 2-3 km from the town, so, only a few options to eat outside in a walking distance."

"We stayed for 2 nights, and we both thought that the food and the public areas were amazing. We also booked the yoga classes which were great. The bungalows are very cool, they are open, so you get a pretty unique experience. The beds are a bit on the hard side, this should be improved."

We loved our stay at Cocobay! The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The room had been recently renovated and was nice and clean. The pool was nice and refreshing whilst the beach was calm and safe.
I highly recommend Cocobay!

We had minimal expectations going into our stay as we hadn't heard of the hotel group. Great arrival experience, room show well done, facilities clearly outlined. room was amazing, well designed. Spa treatments were amazing. worth the money overall.

A lovely new hotel in Bentota with the river on one side and the golden wide sandy beach on the other. The arrival by boat across the river is a wonderful touch. Rooms are very nicely appointed. Pool next to the beach is great, as is the buffet restaurant by the river for breakfast..The beach is excellent for swimming.

Beautiful grounds with plenty of space to find your own solitude. Good pool and dining area with with great food. A range of room options for a variety of budgets. We had a downstairs room on the beach side which we really enjoyed.

Rooms are good. Bath room and toilets need some attention. They also need to be mindful to ensure not to intimidate their customers the way use bands to identify the dinning status as this is not operating as full resort status Chaminda from reception and Tharanga F&B Manager was excellent. General manager need to be more
Customer friendly face at least with a smiling equally with all customers but not only certain ethnicity. Overall our stay is good enjoyed.

From the very beginning the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and modern, and the bed was very comfortable. The pool area was as clean and the staff nice and friendly.

The resort and staff were fantastic. Needed to use a tuk tuk to get to nearby attractions, but small price to pay for the fantastic treatment we received at Mandara.
