Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI

Cinnamon Bentota Beach is celebrated for its cleanliness and serene, cultural atmosphere that captivates guests seeking relaxation. While the hotel's service generally garners accolades for attentiveness, there have been occasional mentions of inconsistency. Its comprehensive amenities, from the diverse dining options to beach access, are popular among guests, even as some suggest enhancements. The spacious rooms with stunning views are a highlight, though a few guests have pointed out dampness concerns. Set in a picturesque location, the hotel's value perceptions are mixed, with some questioning costs while others feel the experience justifies the price.

Colombo, Sri Lanka

When "Bentota Beach Hotel" first opened 50 years ago in 1970 it was the talk of tourist circles in Sri Lanka, designed by the acclaimed architect Geoffrey Bawa. My wife and I remember spending one night of our honeymoon in January 1972 and paying the princely sum of Rs 550 for Half-board. That was a little more than our monthly combined salaries then. We did visit the hotel twice afterwards but this time we went because the hotel has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment and addition of two new wings, retaining the same architectural character. Due to Covid-19 hotels are just opening up after 3 months of lock-down under stringent health guidelines and they are offering great discounts to the local clientele as foreigners are unable to come due to the closure of the airports. Apparently the management miscalculated what would be an attractive offer: While its sister hotel Cinnamon Bey in Beruwela had near 100% occupancy, this huge property had only two guests: Us! We were upgraded to a suite. Its bathroom had only one hook to hang towels. It puzzles me always as to why hotels don't provide two sets of towels which can be separately identified in double rooms. Surely when two persons use the same white towels they can get mixed up.

The restaurant staff went to great lengths to prepare the special meals required by my wife for medical reasons. The efforts of Chathura (steward) and Bandara (Chef) are appreciated. Amanda at the Reception was a great help. The a la Carte menu did not provide much choice, in fact there was none in the aperitiff and soup categories. There was hardly any signage on the ground floor to lead us to the restaurant. Perhaps things are still under repair. The best attraction is the hotel's location on the wide sandy beach stretching for almost a mile. Enough water sports can be enjoyed on the river by the side.

This is a beautiful, luxury hotel. The rooms are large and well equipped, wonderfully decorated with a mix of modern and traditional furniture. I stayed in an ocean view suite and found the room to be more than adequate for my needs.

The hotel is recently reopened so there is still some work going on but overall, the main amenities are available and ready for use. The pool area is huge with a pool bar for when your thirst needs satisfying. The area opens out to the (public) beach so you can sample some fresh coconuts and take a dip in the sea if that suits you better.
The main restaurant is large and comes with a variety of options to suit all dietary needs. I was honestly so full at the end of every meal and I still feel like I didn't try everything!

The thing that stands out the most about this hotel however is the staff. From check-in to check-out the staff were attentive, polite and were forever going above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable.
Sampath (apologies if my spelling of any names are wrong!) is the in-house tour guide and he is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He ensured everything was organised, from the breakfast to tickets and travel so all I had to do was show up and he is a huge credit to the hotel.
The housekeeping staff (Dhanulca, Chathuranga and Baddevithana) were very thorough and created cute towel animals which was a sweet surprise to come back to each day.
The reception & restaurant staff were always going out of their way to ensure that everything was right and were able to offer a wealth of knowledge to any questions I may have had.

Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel for a bespoke, luxury experience. There are still some teething issues as you would expect with any newly opened establishment, but my overall experience was fantastic and it was a pleasure to stay at Cinnamon Bentota.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights with my family, we had a truly amazing time there! First of all, the hotel's location is incredible as it is nestled between a river and the ocean. The beach is sandy and it is so easy to access, it is just outside the hotel. The pool is also phenomenal, big and wide, and it has a bar! Breakfast buffet felt endless and the food at the main sea food restaurant, I just do not remember its name.., was so delicious! You can also see some art pieces here and there, what gives the property an extra Sri Lankan feeling. As the hotel has been recently renovated, it is also super clean. And it looks like they put a lot of attention to the service, as it was at its best, we felt welcome anytime and anywhere. The hotel has a lot of outdoor area so we could also enjoy some privacy and didn't feel squeezed with other guests. I am wondering if other Cinnamon hotels are similar. I am planning to check them out next time.

Visited Cinnamon Beach hotel with my family in February 2020. The hotel was completely renovated and opened in Feb 2020. One block was still not ready for operation. The hotel could not have found a better location and is sandwiched between the Bentota river on one side and the ocean on the other. The entrance and lobby blows you away. The main lobby is a delighful mix of daylight and colour. The Front office staff was extremely welcoming. The lobby has a long bar with expansive views of the river. The rooms were very well appointed. The ones we had, had big balconies overlooking the beach. The hotel has multiple pools and has a play area for children, which we loved. My best compliments are reserved for the staff at the hotel. Each one of them was extremely warm and friendly and made sure they made us feel special. Even the houskeeping staff was always checking our our comfort. Petrina, from the Front Office really took care of our daughter and made her day by gifting her a stuffed toy. The food was good - specially the Breakfast buffet which is really expansive and was always fresh. We shall definitely return to the hotel on our next visit to Bentota.

Cinnamon has always been a brand close to heart with its warm and welcoming atmosphere at their hotels. However, what they have managed to create with Bentota Beach is something rather unique. From the minute you walk in, it feels like reuniting with family, the staff is that warm, welcoming, and attentive. The rooms are spacious and well maintained. The cleaning happened efficiently and noninvasively as soon as we stepped out and was done by the time we got back. The food was amazing, and the chefs were flexible with my dietary needs. They have taken all necessary steps to make sure the guests are protected during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was an amazing and relaxing stay at Bentota beach. Cinnamon has created something truly worthy of the "Sri Lankan Hospitality" tagline.

P.S. Special thanks to the entire team including Mr. Pradeep, Nicole, Patrina, Natasha & Priyantha

My wife and I stayed at the Cinnamon towards the end of an 1,800km 14 day trip around Sri Lanka.

The hotel really is very beautiful and we stayed in the guest wing approaching the beach. Our room was spotlessly clean, spacious, very modern, had a huge bath for two with a screen that opened back so we could enjoy a bath whilst sipping wine and listening to the sounds and smells of the crashing waves.

The hotel has direct beach access and they have roped of around 200 metres of beachfront just for hotel guests to enjoy.

Food is buffet style - great selection of tasty Sri Lankan and internatonal cuisines, and the chefs are very happy to cater to any special requests.

One word of thanks must go to Trinky from the Front Office team who arranged our PCR tests, release letters from MOH and SLTA, and was always available to answer any questions we had.

Highly recommended.

Sri Lanka is an amazing place to travel, we’ve been there for the 1st time with family.
Cinnamon Bentota Beach is perfectly located and the service provided is absolutely outstanding.

Starting from customer service team - Daphni, Jack, Trinky, Amanda who were always ready to fulfil our requests.
We had 2 luxury sea view rooms. Rooms were clean and room boys surprised us several times by leaving us surprises like an elephant or crocodile from towels 😄

The food at restaurant/buffet was ON TOP!!!

A wide selection of cuisines (European, Italian, Sri Lankan, Indian), pastry, selection of Fresh juices, seafood, and food serving was very beautiful. Feels like everything is prepared with love!

All THE BEST gratitudes to the whole team:
Chef Sudarshana, Manager Chandana, Akash, Christmal, Kumara, Shan, Ashaen, Ijaz, Chanaka, Sajitha And Damith and others if I forgot to mention.
These guys quickly learned our preferences and were always nice and caring.
We really felt being treated like a royal family. 😊

Also , It was also a birthday of our nephew during our stay. It was a lovely suprise when the whole team of restaurant Chefs and waiters came to sing a Happy birthday song and presented a birthday cake.

The beach is sandy and the ocean water is warm. every day mr Supriani /Bala prepared towels on the beach for us.

I would also like to add some words about kids hub - a playroom for children was awesome! Our kids were in love with it!

Helpful, friendly staff who go above and beyond to make sure you have the best time.

We will definetely be happy to come back and I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

My stay starts with a friendly, efficient warm welcome and check body temperature from the Reception team. my room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The complimentary toiletries were replaced when necessary. All the Guest amenities and towels wrapped very hygienically. I felt I am safe.

The food was excellent and the staff superb! Entire restaurant team very helpful. The breakfast here was the best one I experienced compared to any hotel where I stayed. buffet served by chefs very polite, due to the COVID 19 pandemic restaurant was arranged as per government guidelines. All the chefs were wearing the face masks and gloves.
Thank to entire Cinnamon Bentota Beach colleagues for their Great service great work.
brilliant hospitality from everyone. The hotel is so beautiful, and the pool was nice.... thank you all once again for the service.

We had a good time at Cinnamon Bentota, It was our office trip and we stayed Cinnamon Bentota in a weekend. The staff was very helpful and friendly from the entering to departure.They welcome each and every guest with authentic rituals. I would like to say Cinnamon Bentota is another architectural master piece by renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa and other set of talented architects. It's breathtaking and staff is maintaining the the property well. When talk about room, The rooms were large and spotless with a good view of the beach/garden with all the amenities. But, when we come to food, their buffet was not so great, most of the items are tasteless. Normally in other Cinnamon hotels food is top-notch, DOnt know what is wrong with Cinnamon Bentota. They have 3 large well maintain pools, but the issue was, pool side was closed by 6.30p.m even the hotel is fully booked. I have visited most of cinnamon hotels, non of those hotels close the pool by 6.30 p.m. Hotel Management should consider this
