Avani Bentota

TripAdvisor Review
Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean
Bentota

"This superb resort basks in its tranquil setting on the sprawling beach of Bentota, one of the most expansive sandy beaches in Asia. Avani Bentota is located on Sri Lanka's popular southwest coast a 2.5 hours' drive from Colombo and 96 kms from Bandaranaike International Airport. Guests can revel in the feeling that they are a world away amidst the relaxing, serene environment of the resort. The charming low-rise building spreads out amidst luxuriant greenery, complementing the surroundings beautifully with its blend of Sri-Lankan style and contemporary comforts. The guest rooms feature a simplistic, modern style creating a cool, relaxing atmosphere. Guests seeking relaxation can sit back and unwind in the large palm-fringed gardens or enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool as the little ones splash nearby. This is the ideal choice for an exotic living experience for all the family."

Best Experience at Thaala Resort!

We had so much fun at Thaala Resort. They have beautiful sea view rooms.

The staff are so welcoming, they always greet with a smile.

The food was delicious and there were some fun games in the evening at the bar area.

Enjoying the sunset with a cocktail was amazing and the beach access is also great.

Best experience ever! Highly recommended.

A Relaxing Beachfront Stay in Bentota

We had a pleasant stay at Thaala Bentota and enjoyed the overall experience.

The resort is in a beautiful beachfront location, with a clean and pristine stretch of beach that was a real highlight. The beach was well maintained and made for a very relaxing setting, whether you wanted to take a walk or simply unwind by the sea.

Our room was clean and well maintained, which made the stay comfortable. The resort itself had a nice atmosphere and was a good place to relax and slow down.

The buffet was also quite good, with a decent variety of dishes and good overall quality. We enjoyed our meals during the stay.

Overall, Thaala Bentota is a nice resort for anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing beach holiday in Bentota. The combination of the beautiful beach, clean rooms, and good food made this a pleasant part of our Sri Lanka trip.

Peaceful holiday destination

We stayed in Room 201, a Deluxe Room. It was spacious, well-equipped, and very comfortable. The room had a cappuccino coffee machine, a large TV, a luxurious sofa, a comfortable bed, and a huge bathroom with a Jacuzzi. Most importantly, the room was spotlessly clean. From the moment we arrived, we received a warm and friendly welcome. The entire Front Office team was very helpful and always had a smile, especially Sanjana from the Front Office team. The Food & Beverage team also provided excellent service, and the food was delicious. Special thanks to Chef Nalaka, who prepared some special dishes especially for us. The hotel architecture, designed by the famous architect Geoffrey Bawa, is beautiful. The gardens are very well maintained, with plenty of greenery and beautiful landscaping. The beachfront location is excellent, and the hotel has two large swimming pools. Overall, this is a wonderful hotel for families and anyone looking for a relaxing, calm, and peaceful holiday. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again. Highly recommended!
