    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    From the white cushioned loungers that line the pool to the evening sun-downer sessions on the sand, this chic hotel has a real beach club feel to it.

    The Surf Hotel Bentota looks out over one of the best stretches of sand in this part of Sri Lanka. It’s in a really good spot for exploring the country, too – there’s a train station around the corner that’ll get you to Colombo and Galle.

    There are only 100 rooms here, spread over two storeys, so the whole place feels quite exclusive. The design is really contemporary, as well – think lots of red and black, offset with plenty of mood lighting.

    I stayed here for 2 nights. Resort is just on the beach. You can view the sea from your room. So close to beach. Location is amazing . Food was ok. Rest nothing so great. My intercom was not working and I informed them but nobody bothered. I stayed for 2 nights and they did not able to rectify it. I have to go again and again if required anything to the restaurant or reception.
    Bentota review

    We reached the hotel/resort EKHO SURF and were received warmly by the receptionist. A family room was allotted to us facing the sea. It was on the ground floor with all amenities. My only fear was it was very near to the sea. But it had a breathtaking view of the sea and sunset. Extremely beautiful. The egrets in the morning on the lawn is a treat to watch. The breakfast and dinner was very tasty with a variety spread both continental and for vegetarians like us. The dining hall was very neat and clean with courteous staff. But a suggestion to the hotel is the sunbathing bed in front of the rooms in the ground floor becomes dirty fast and the covers should be changed atleast alternate day. The beach is very clean and neat. We went for the para motor flying on the beach which was adventurous. Overall the stay in the hotel and food was wonderful and would like to visit again.
    Definitely not a 5-star hotel

    The hotel is so-so, very similar to 3.5 star hotels in Europe. If you are looking just for a nice beach, you can book this hotel. Otherwise, I will not recommend it, as they do not have normal customer care. We arrived early (6am) to the hotel, and as we were very tired, we have decided to do the early check-in. They charged us for the full night price for 3 hours early check-in, which is not acceptable for 5-star hotel. Breakfast is also not similar what we have seen in other 5-stars, they always have the same menu.
    Awesome views!

    It’s not a really flash hotel but looks as though it has one of the best views in their strip. Service is good, very clean and comfortable rooms and balcony. Fresh bottled water every day, a number of great restaurants behind. Pools lovely and clean and really long!
    Excellent location.

    Situated on Bentota beach, private beach so no sellers, lovely and peaceful. Breakfast had something to suit everybody always fresh, plenty of seating inside and out. A bit disappointed with our room as expected a balcony with sunbeds but only 2 seats. bed was comfortable,bathroom well equipped, decor could do with an update. Staff from reception to cleaning were all very helpful and friendly. plenty of restaurants across the railway, 2 mins walk. Would stay again. Only fault was the price of drinks food and cigarettes at least twice the price of outside the hotel.
