We were touring the club bentota in march. The hotel is a bit outdated already but it is always make an effort smaller some repairment works to repair. Special emphasis will be on order and cleanliness on the rooms, the food, as well as in the whole complex put. The entire area, on a headland (between river and sea) location is integrated perfectly with the beautiful, animal artenvielfältige nature. When the construction was especially on local (in the region) occurring materials respected. Particularly beautiful is the very broad-deserted and long flat sloping sandy beach. There is however usually high current ... and waves, so are lifeguards at the beach. Of the chairs area through a small fence separated from the beach, it can also no beach boys inside. These are but also not pushy, you will be raised once again and then you can decide yourself. A clean pool with enough chairs (also at the beach) is also available. The staff is always ready to help and friendly. The food was also always very tasty and varied. In the afternoons there are coffee and cake. The offered drinks was also ok and there was constantly changing cocktailangebote. Every 2 days there are national evening shows (otherwise dj). The atmosphere is nice and not at all noisy. Who sporting activities (Volleyball, Boccia, water aerobics and so on.) Follow wanted could also do that. Who go on excursions would that can at any time about the beach boys book. A big thanks to ' niki and Mike' with which we very good experiences and not (as some described here) on the way was. They speak perfect german. It may decide themselves how much money they would like to spend. The flusstour in the mangrove forest is very convenient and interesting. Furthermore we have a super organised 3-day trip (yala, kandy, told etc.) Undertaken where we were in a small group (6 people) are traveling. It can also decide what he would look at it and where the driver should stop. In front of the hotel are also some shopping possibilities for souvenirs, etc. A tuk tuk with personal guide is also at any time before the driveway (circa 1,50 Euro). It is also the possibility for little money by train after galle or so to drive (which certainly an experience is). This starts near away from the hotel. We find the club bentota is definitely worth a trip. However, if you a luxury in sterile atmosphere, should at its booking into account and, where appropriate, a 5 star hotel book. read more

For us it was a relaxing and eventful holiday. On the complex there was a pleasant, quiet Atmosphere. The friendliness of the staff should be highlighted. The buffet offers daily, tasty, varied eating and drinking. The rooms are functionally furnished and daily Properly cleaned. Especially recommendable the niki-tours. Here one experiences Sri Lanka skin close. Value for money is okay! We will be back! Veronika and Hartmut read more

The vacation was actually very nice, if it weren't for niki tours would have been. We can't understand, as some holiday makers this n. positively mention We were already often abroad on vacation, but like that something is us never happened. So, dear tourists beware n. and the trip mangroventour, should actually just a boat tour are, we ended up but still in an herb garden (spici-garten). Don't go there. The prices are way too high. As we were there to dash and thread has cheated, we got the police turned. N. wanted us to help, but everything was just ... hot air. After we heard, that the brother of n. this spici garden operates, was everything to us clearly. We have half the money refunded, but the trouble is still deep seats. N. will surely be its change name, in 1-2 months means he michi or Paul, thus watched out. But now the positive. The complex is really nice. The beach almost deserted. It is always waves, so swimming is not much there. The food is excellent. But very spicy. You always find something. The routes rather in the guide. So high are the price differentials not. The service is good as well. Had a clogged shower, was the same day. The drive from the airport is very long. Almost four hours, as in Colombo very high traffic prevails. I can recommend the hotel, only a beach boy, not! read more

Club bentota is in a fantastic landscape embedded, the shows the drive over the river to the hotel. The buildings are mostly built of wood and fit well in the lush countryside. The whole complex carefully maintained but without the nature to destroy. If you are a sterile glass or betonpalast searches is here in the wrong place. After a week trip we have the peace and quiet and you in our beautiful bungalow no 334 found, with a view into nature and the quiet sound of the indian- ozenan, as we by the travel agent have liked, thank you ... very much. read more

    As already mentioned above, we had bungalow no 334 what a stroke of luck was. He was not very big, however for sleeping there was no need for a dorm. The view from the terrace was into nature, really for relaxing.

  • Gastronomy

    The food was perfect(over gained 2 kilos unfortunately ) starting at breakfast buffet with a large variety of completely fresh bread and rolls. Also for the other meals was for any taste a good choice available. To top it off, the dessert buffet where you not passed. The restaurant staff was always busy and friendly, even without giving any tip. At the bar one felt very good, most of the bartenders understood their handicraft and understood also lots of fun.

    The friendliness the whole staff was not to beat, be it at the bar or in the restaurant. Only one negative is the front desk where no employee spoke german, although very lots of guests from the german-speaking area come, the front desk should the person be. Many waiters and housekeeping staff understood and spoke german. We had a problem with of the airconditioning, after a scarce hour was everything again alright, top performance.

    The infinite and clean beach is right in front of the hotel, only by a low fence separately, the industrious boys know where their border is. To the next place used the ferry, the virtually always on the spot and take a duk duk or around 15 minutes away on foot, but attention is always a self-appointed tour guide on the spot (certainly say no) helps. Since we already a week on the way were we only a river cruise and by train after galle risks, both were an experience.

No good experience with niki and herb garden!

I were with the hotel (proffering) content and the hotel seemed partly also 'caribbean' (palm trees, blue water, waves, kilometerweiter menschenleerer sandy beach.)! It is a 3 star hotel and it is the condition (deluxe room) well - especially win through the cleanliness a better impression-a modern /posh hotel it's just not. But romantic.-) There is friendliness even without giving any tip - sometimes the employees however by the smear of the guests (pool places) then educated-and vice versa. Tip is however usual - 50-100 Rupees - but everybody has to decide for himself. In the wallet of ... the travel agents (example FTI) is possible guidelines for the amount of the tips. The employees are mostly not intrusive -, and the beach vendors, by a fence from the property are separated. The is very pleasant. Shopping possibilities: if one with the ferry on the other side of the hotel brought to you, you can after the exit turn right and is on the main street also a small shop with drinks and snacks or if one then still 5-10 minutes further is on the same side of the road a 'supermarket', the enough choice contains and a bank for changing money. Disappointment excursion possibilities: as here on holiday check from a vacationer niki and Mike recommended were, we wanted to the ' locals' support and therefore instead of our travel agency (FTI) a river cruise when niki booked with visit herb garden. Unfortunately niki a german 'Ayurveda doktor' organized, the us with the prices quite ripped off and we had the 3-10 times the usual prices for these products paid. Massageöl small with kräuterbalsam, 2 fragrant oil small, 2 spice tea and a vanillearoma -but i have 120 Euro paid! The confidence to nik (i) was broken and the oral assurance of the dr, that these products in sri lanke all the same quality (with produktnummern ) and government-fixed prices (reinforced with a price list in the gewürzgartenshop )-then as falsehood turned out. There is no government-fixed prices-where am i supposed to know, as a tourist?! I have the bill and photographs of the products with me! Apropos: a good Ayurveda-pharmacy gives it also on this main road (again 10-15 minutes further from the supermarket on the right-hand side shortly before the bridge over the river). There are the same products 3a 10 times cheaper than in the herb garden and ichhoffen, that the herb garden products at least no fake are. Perhaps benefits this experience other vacationers, that they carefully and perhaps forbears niki in future such-that was the only annoying in the holiday! Trust is good, but you as a tourist just ignorant, and trusts the guide. Tip: stay away from herb garden or at least from the shop! We then all other travel with FTI -and that was a good thing-we were insured and could not have such a rip-off with the tour operator over the guide (trip) could complain about. read more

    There's a restaurant for the meals (open area). A fish restaurant was in construction, probably will fee will be. Specialities in the restaurant as shellfish were partly at the entrance offered, but had to be paid. Wine was in the all-inclusive offer not included! A simple country wine cost circa 3 Euro. We have found, that the all-inclusive offered by other countries the wine was included in the room rate. The food was delicious, the local dishes like for instance currys, dhal -lenses definitely try! Some meat dishes were tough, the selection of fish could in a country be bigger.

    The hotel is only with the boat. The is however logistic not a problem, because it to the hotel and is free. The beach is approximately 100 meters wide (at least it was in february so) and you can walk for miles, almost without someone to meet. For excursions to the next town (Aluthgama) you can have a tuk-tuk or taxi (100 Rupees = about 60 cents) or the 2 kilometer walk. There is also a train station in Aluthgama, from to for example after galle for 100 Rupees travel can.

The complex was fantastically located between a river and ocean. To the hotel one comes only over a free boat transfer, but during any time of the day and night worked great. You can but also excellent at the beach along after bentota walking. There are beautiful small bungalows as well as room in the main building, the hotel is nice spread around on the spacious area. We had the normal bungalow room for us completely fine were. In the 10 days we had a kunterbunte guest structure, at the start some russian, then indian families, some older germans and ... at the end of 16 italian models-just piecemeal, as on vacation heared ☺ read more

    We had a normal room in the bungalows, so no deluxe. The size was, as you yes anyway only for sleeping in it is, absolutely okay. What a bit strange was, is the badezimmeraufteilung, or the klotüre ☺. The shower was great big. Cleanliness and condition was alright and from the terrace we had with a fantastic view on the river. Oh, on the waterfront opposite the we sometimes hochzeitsparties. I slept fine.

    There is a big restaurant with plenty of seating, and open walls with a view of the river. It was very pleasant to sit. All meals were delicious. The selection was also large and diverse: local specialties, fresh salad, soup, fish, bark, chicken, lots of different side dishes, wide selection of desserts, fresh fruits, tea and coffee. Drinks are by the staff brought, which one was gladly times a give a tip, especially if you hear a thing, that some not any give ☺. The tables could sometimes a bit faster from the previous guests were cleared away, but we are on vacation and have time. At the bar it is very comfortable to sit. Nice, new, comfortable patio furniture.

Entertainment was actually only beach volleyball and aquaärobic which seldom used, however also not annoying was. The pool is not large, but actually almost always empty, and therefore sufficiently. The 'entertainment' were sometimes dance shows, which one could look at, but not - was very ok and only so about an hour. And anstonten was pleasant music, sometimes also russian, but within limits.

You can but also excellent at the beach along after bentota walking. There are beautiful small bungalows as well as room in the main building, the hotel is nice spread around on the spacious area. We had the normal bungalow room for us completely fine were. In the 10 days we had a kunterbunte guest structure, at the start some russian, then indian families, some older germans and at the end of 16 italian models-just piecemeal, as on vacation heared ☺

    The distance to the beach was great, about 20 steps and you were in the sea, with really great waves, and always under the supervision of the hotel-lifeguard. The next town was either Aluthgama with the boat or as above already described over the beach after bentota. With a tuk tuk again for about 200 rs back. At the start you need to get in the villages a bit by right to be, but if you take a small stroll made, you will find 'everything', also a few restaurants. You are all few meters responded, whether a fahrtmöglichkeit need, want to go on an excursion, a bazaar to see wants (there was no)... Just decline politely, sometimes repeatedly ☺, but you are just. Oh yes, if one says, he is the chef from the hotel, that is true to 99% not! Oh yes, to the beach boys, the at the beach were okay, so no worries.

We can say, that it a dream holiday was. The overall impression of hotel, country and people round ended up the full picture from. Already the hotel is wonderfully situated, as well as the entire area. The food was simply top. Who naturally only burgers and co expected, should the complex avoid. Quiet time exotic treats admit. It is worthwhile, for the health. The boys at the beach you can fully confidence. We had the luck niki to meet. We had have fun with him, a great trip to kandy and much of the country experienced.

It was a fantastic vacation in a very nice hotel with very friendly and before coming employees. The beach was clean and kilometer-long, sometimes almost deserted. Otherwise I have rarely eaten so well. The offered food was very diverse and varied. A tip is perhaps, if you excursions bay for example with night, rather with native ones book instead of the travel guide. Is a lot cheaper, you could get the same and also a guide for everyone, who speaks German well and much told and explained, and the people are grateful. You should definitely go on excursions, because you ... can get a lot of Sri Lanka see and learn. Daytrips best on the mainland side on your own and with a cab driver demands, the for good money for example also to galle. Be careful if you to excursions photograph left, always purse. The people offer to you to photograph, demand but afterwards money. And, you should in Sri Lanka times small trains and train and you should mangosteen ate! Is an experience worth.-) read more

October is not the ideal travel, as the rainy season. From about 14 hours it was cloudy or it rained. One can kilometres away walk along the beach without a human soul to meet. The sea had while we were there always tidy waves, you could but nevertheless good swimming. As I neither fish still sharp food, it was sometimes quite difficult to get something to eat at the buffet. But what there was, was good. At the bar there were also some cocktails free, taste however very sweet and all the same. After a week I could no cocktail ... see more. The willingness to help the room boys is crazy! Even really tip on the bed and one on hands carried. But also without tip is very helpful. The paths to the rooms and the terraces the room are covered. However with some holes. When it rains, it was difficult on our terrace to sit, as it is in some places by dripped. read more

Very nice bungalow complex in the middle of a palm forest, right on the long, lonely and sandy beach, you only by boat. The waves and the current were very strong, to swim less suitable, but for fun great!-) There were also always enough loungers available, cushions and towels you get from the pool attendants. At the beach you will immediately from the beachboys mentioned (the always know who is new) and you get excursions offered. We are not. The tables in the open restaurant stayed at the very large and rich buffet in the middle arranged. There was ... always some local and apart from that international food. For breakfast there was mostly English kitchen ( bacon, beans, sausages, eggs, toast.) Everything delicious!:-) The rooms are in one-to two-story bungalows and are provided with all over terrace or balcony. Hair dryer, air conditioning, tv with German wave, safe and ceiling fan are available. The rooms are big enough. The sink is also in the room, are separated only the toilet and a very large shower. The service and the staff are very good, expected but always tip. There are numerous excursions. The transfer to the airport takes at night about 2 hours. It can but also the (empty ) highway driven, these costs 400 rupees (not even three Euro). Then the journey takes about one and a half hours. read more

    I stayed in a all inclusive hotel never had such a good, tasty and varied food experienced like here. For breakfast, there is actually only one type of cheese and mostly only one type of sausage, but it is fried and scrambled eggs, omelets and pancakes and naturally fresh fruits. Bacon or small sausage there was in the change and the singhalesische breakfast consisting of rice and dhal gives it also. Afternoons and evenings there was chicken, beef, pork and fish-one of them was always grilled. The sauces are great and often we could not say, what tastes best. Rice were always available, also a kind of potatoes and pasta. Salads, fruit and vegetables as sunday.. However you knuckle of pork with sauerkraut vain-the dampfnudeln are however quite worth a sin. Daily one dish before the eyes of the guests prepared. Typical Sri Lanka food, fresh chili, fresh kokosnussraspeln you will find on the buffet. Tropical fruit salesman who brought cut, a dream!

    The location of this hotel is unbeatable. On the one hand the beach and the indian ocean (in october about 28 degrees celsius warmly and we say, so warm it is always ☺, on the other side the bentota river. There are shops on the other side of the river in town alutghama. Excursion possibilities are with the travel guide and the ' beach boys' bookable. We have various excursions at the beach when niki and were more than satisfied, we were thrilled. Niki speaks good german.

    The proximity to the beach is well, very close. No matter where you in the hotel lives, runs ma comfortable 1-3 minutes and falls into the water. The water is some months to be enjoyed with caution, you can bathe always, one should however with red gehisster flag be careful and not too far to go outside. To the airport depending on traffic between 2.5 and 4 hours travel time, but we rewarded. There are already in hotel proximity tons to see. Particularly the small temple on the headland to look at! Apart from that, the hotel is a good starting point to all the attractions. Tip: a boat trip on the river is very recommendable! Be careful: it could happen that you here gladly time in a jewelry shop or herb garden is towed. Prices are always negotiable! 30-40% discount almost always possible.
