Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection

Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 4 nights. Absolutely wonderful! Here you get a high-class hotel with a consistently high level. Very nice, well-renovated/built rooms with a high standard, wonderful hotel/pool area, walking distance to the wonderful beach where the hotel also offers sunbeds free of charge, well-stocked gym and much more. large breakfast buffet, both international and local. The service level is incredibly high where you want to give that little extra all the time. High professional service level on everything from cleaners, reception to bartender and the service staff who take care of the pool/towels. They usually know what you will ask for before you do it. such as wifi passwords to adapters to charge your mobile phone. We can highly recommend this luxury gem! For me and my daughter it was a perfect start to our adventure in Sri Lanka! Anders and Emilia from Stockholm / Sweden"
