I had high expectations of this place but was very disappointed! They charged me extra $80 for no valid reason and the people at the front desk all gave different answers when I asked about the extra charge not knowing what was going on. I need a refund ! I was traveling with family kids and elderly they were inconsiderate of allergy and elderly needs and did not help us with warming our food so we had to go without dinner. The staff was so rude and unhelpful and objected the ladies going into the pool. The rooms bathrooms and fridge were dirty and stained ….. not recommended! ##### Kumail Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### EISSA, DOHA Mar 18, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Good staff but hotel needs more maintenance & renovations in superior rooms at least.. flooring & bathrooms needs more more care of maintenance ##### EISSA Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn Mar 11, 2020 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Överlag är vi nöjda och det var väldigt avslappnat, vilket var syftet med hela resan.

For example, my room was provided only 2 small courtesy bottles of water a day. I guess I just expected more service and “perks” for the princely sum I paid per night. The first day I had no towels. I called the front desk before heading outside but they still were not delivered and I had to go in person to request them. The food in the breakfast buffet and one restaurant I ate at was only so-so. It seems they are catering more toward westerners who don’t want a local experience, but would rather stay in their comfort zone. I had a delicious meal outside the resort for much less money. When I was shown to my room, the resort features were pointed out including the restaurants, spa, and pools. I was cautioned about swimming in the ocean because of currents, but it felt like the staff was just trying to keep guests within the resort. The proximity to the beach is why I chose the location and despite the warnings I spent considerable time on the beach and in the ocean which was warm and inviting with gentle waves and no undertow. ##### Sharon Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LARISA Dec 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Хороший отель на берегу океана Расположен на жд станции Бентота.

Отель советую на несколько дней ##### LARISA Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic location where you could easily walk out to local restaurants or jump on the train for a day trip ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Simon Sep 5, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hold jer væk fra dette helvede! Det her er alt andet end 5 stjernet! Værste hotel jeg nogensinde har været på! Da vi ankom havde de ikke vores booking, og de havde en arrogant opførelse. Vi fik hotels.com til at ringe til dem og bekræfte, og de løftede bare røret og lagde på igen. Efter næsten en time fik vi et værelse der havde mug på væggene og gulvet boblede op grundet vandskade. Der var spindelsvæv alle steder. Da vi gjorde opmærksom på dette blev vi mødt med en uinteresseret og arrogant attitude. De ville ikke engang se værelset. Vi fik nu et værelse der lå langt fra alt andet, lige ud til en jernbane, der holdte os vågen hele natten. Ved poolen fik vi en parasol der var levende! Flere 1000 myrer kravlede inde i den, da medarbejderen fra poolen åbnede den. Han lukkede den blot sammen og viste os over til en anden, der var helt gennemhullet. De gjorde ikke mere ved problemet efter. Der var et par der havde sex i poolen, foran 2 medarbejdere, der blot kiggede på. De gjorde intet ved dette problem heller ej. Halvdelen af restauranterne på hotellet, er lukket. De sprøjter gift mod myg på hele hotellet uden advarsel, så man indånder det. Generelt en forfærdelig oplevelse, hold jer væk fra det her sted. ##### Simon Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Max, Sydney Aug 31, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Check-in & check-out seemed to be at the same time so it was very chaotic when we arrived, we didn't get our room until 430pm but the manager was very lovely & gave us free drinks & food while we waited. Great size room with all the facilities we needed. Great choice at the buffet for breakfast. Overall we enjoyed our stay there. ##### Max Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service Nice hotel with clean rooms and awesome views but the staff lack a basic sense of service! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Rebecca Holt Jul 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### God service & god komfort Veldig fornøyd med dette hotellet. Meget god service. Rent og pent. Noen mygg inne på rommet som kom inn mest sannsynlig under de daglige rengjøringene (morgen & kveld), men foruten om det var alt meget bra. Sluket og vannet trakk ned noe tregt. Fint området & basseng. Grei mat i bufféen. Fin romantisk middag på stranden. ##### Rebecca Holt Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities the staff were lovely the food was fantastic the location could not have been better right on a lovely beech 5 minutes walk to the local shops or a short tuk tuk ride to town or a nice easy walk all the staff were courteous and always smileing we would highly recommend this hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter May 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mooie tuin met twee zwembaden , tevens kort loopje naar het strand. ##### Peter Stayed 13 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tilda Apr 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Parresa Allt var superbra och personalen jättetrevlig! ##### Tilda Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori, Toronto Canada Apr 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location on a fantastic beach.

The location was wonderful, the combination of the beach, which is amazing, and the Avani grounds with the pools and chairs and shade was really relaxing.
