I just returned from the Vivanta By Taj Bentota 5 * hotel, and I want to share important information. This hotel is currently under renovation. All upper floors under renovation. Only the 1st and 2nd floors (out of 6) are offered for housing. The pool is closed, but you can swim in the pool of the neighboring hotel AVANI (go to the reception, take a free ticket to the pool at the AVANI hotel, for the whole day). The ocean is now violent, the waves are constant, you won’t be able to swim, only jump on the waves. The red flag hangs all the time, but everyone bathes all the time. During the "off season" rain was never seen. Temperature constant +30 degrees. Sun protection is a must (before and after). After dinner, tiny but very biting midges appear, they do not like Citronella essential oil (you can buy it at our pharmacy), otherwise you will itch for two weeks later. In the markets - be sure to bargain, you can reset up to 50% of the initial cost of the goods.
Pros of the hotel: service and service at the highest level, 1 minute to the ocean. The food is delicious and varied (they took HB, it was enough). The territory of the hotel is large and green. Sun loungers are located on the hotel grounds, on the grass under the palm trees. The ocean is behind the hotel’s fence (all beaches are state property), there is security at the entrance, they monitor who enters and exits, so they calmly left things on sunbeds (a mattress and towels are attached to the sunbed, you don’t need to carry them from the room). All living creatures are found - chipmunks, monitor lizards, mongooses. Gym, sauna, jacuzzi - free of charge. The room is cleaned 2 times a day. All in all, this hotel is top notch.
Locals say that Vivanta is the best hotel on the coast (value for money).
Were in hotels AVANI, BENTOTA CLUB.
In AVANI BENTOTA 5 * - only the French, Germans have a rest. The hotel is smaller, the rooms are large, beautiful, the pool is smaller, but they are trying to cheat when calculating the bar - check the bills.
BENTOTA CLUB 5 * - an interesting location: on the one hand, the ocean, on the other, the Bentota River, to get to the BENTOTA CLUB - you need to ride a free boat (runs every 15 minutes). There are water activities on the river. Rooms are smaller than in Vivante. The pool is smaller. Mostly Ukrainians, Russians.
Rest REMAINED SATISFIED! And we will be happy to return to Vivanta By Taj when the renovations are completed there.
