We absolutely loved our stay at River View Villas. The hotel itself is beautiful set right by the Bentota Ganga River, we loved watching the huge fruit bats glide above the trees every evening and Eagles soaring above the water. The room was lovely, we got upgraded to an even better room after one night which we didn't ask for, with a breath taking view from our balcony and was made even better by the fresh flowers placed on the bed by the cleaner every day. The staff were wonderful, couldn't do enough for us, so kind and caring. The food was delicious, we loved the Sri Lankan Aryuvedic cuisine and the fruit with every meal, but greatly enjoyed our extras given by the chef including beautiful freshly cooked fish nearly every other day. The experiences really made our trip, our wonderful River Safari, the evening meal on the restaurant boat and we managed to arrange a trip to Udalawale National Park and Galle with the hotel owner where we managed to spot elephants. Nothing is too much for River View Villas. The only downside was having to come home. We hope to come and see you all again very soon, thank you all so much, Sri Lanka really holds a special place in our hearts now.
