Club Bentota

Travel time: 26 november — 3 december 2007
Vacationing with my husband. I really liked the SKT+NE program. Weather - out of two weeks, one day it rained for several hours, the rest of the days it was sunny and sometimes cloudy. Club Bentota is a wonderful hotel!! ! Solid ****+! There is something to compare with (I was in 18 countries, including 5 countries of Southeast Asia), a hotel below the four was not taken anywhere. The food system is "all inclusive", except for imported alcoholic beverages and local wine. Local beer, brandy, rum and arak (coconut tincture) are of excellent quality. A large beautiful area with century-old palm trees, a lot of shade, umbrellas are not needed, everything is thought out and comfortable, there are always enough sunbeds for everyone, the paths between the bungalows and other buildings are covered with stylish canopies from the rain, the superior rooms are small but cozy, have access to their own patio. Wild chipmunks, monitor lizards, iguanas live on the territory, they do not interfere with life, on the contrary: ).

Excellent food in the restaurant, for every taste, rarely something was repeated, there was often seafood.

Wonderful smart staff, knows how to call you by name on the second day and communicate in a friendly manner, the bartenders often ran around the pool and offered drinks to those who sunbathe near it. The serene animators do not force anyone to do anything, but they are always responsive to the initiative, they know how to play volleyball very well (which is very rare) and own an ingenious selection of music for dancing from disco of the 70s and 80s to exotic reggae (a place for dancing right next to the bar which is very convenient). The restaurant surprised my husband with its surprises for my husband’s birthday, baked a chocolate cake in the morning on its own initiative (it was brought with flowers directly to the room, we didn’t even dream about it), and in the evening they officially congratulated us, decorated our table with flowers, treated us to pre-ordered lobsters and Australian wine (this is for an additional charge), at the dances they tried to include our favorite music.
Vacationers - mostly Germans, a few Englishmen, even fewer Russians, at the end a Polish youth group of 120 people arrived with their own program, but it did not interfere with us.

For the first time in our lives, we wanted to return someday not only to the same country, but also to the hotel!! ! Even the company has already crept up among the Russian guys, and among the Germans, not to mention the Sri Lankans, it remains only to write off, agree and get together (one familiar German, for example, comes to Sri Lanka to the Bentota Club 21 times !! ! Is this not an indicator ?! )
