Thaala Bentota

very nice hotel with good restaurant

amazing

From the moment we arrived the service was exceptional. We came to Thaala Bentota to get married. The staff were all incredibly attentive professional and friendly, they all work really hard. From the event managers (Indunil and Hiran) to the men at the pool, who provide towels etc (particularly Ajith), the room service (Saman and Tharange) who did the most amazing towel art. The food was exceptional. The Loft, a great bar with the most amazing sunsets (Naveen who works in the bar and served us our amazing wedding dinner on the beach). The planning of the wedding was perfect, the attention to detail was first class. Indunil and Hiran communicated well both before our arrival and throughout our stay. All the staff on our wedding day were wonderful. Our wedding meal and champagne breakfast were outstanding. It truly was a perfect day. The reception staff always greeted us with a lovely smile and were always very helpful. The hotel is very clean, the grounds are exceptional. There were other events during our stay and the attention to detail was superb. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend this hotel, whether for a few nights or for a wedding/event. The beach is 10yrds away and is beautiful. Very clean, not overcrowded at all, it is beautiful. Close by are some lovely restaurants. The train is directly outside and very easy to use. There are always sun loungers available within the grounds of the hotel and both pools were lovely. The spa is lovely and the massages (we had a back massage) were very good. We cannot thank everyone enough at Thaala Bentota for making our wedding day so memorable and how whole stay so very special.

From the moment we arrived, the peaceful atmosphere of the resort set the tone for a perfect day. Nestled in a quiet and scenic setting, the place felt like a true escape from the usual hustle. Our day outing was smooth and well-organized. Hansaji welcomed us warmly and provided clear, helpful information about everything the resort had to offer. Her communication made planning effortless. The entire team went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable—every staff member we interacted with was genuinely kind and attentive. For the quality of the experience, it was an incredible deal. If you're looking for a serene spot with outstanding service and a relaxed vibe, this resort is absolutely worth a visit.
