Fantastic Family Stay at Centara Ceysands! We just had an amazing family trip to Centara, and it was perfect! The kids' pool was a huge hit – spacious and super fun for the little ones. The main pool was also just right. What really stood out was the service. Need coffee powder or water? It arrived at our door almost instantly, a speed you rarely see. Plus, the receptionist, Amasha was incredibly helpful from the moment we checked in. Centara truly shines with its excellent pools and incredibly fast, attentive service. We can't wait to go back!

Went here once with my friends and stayed one night full board basis. It was a really unique and memorable experience. When we went to the location they took us to the hotel in a boat. We went across the Bentota river to reach the hotel. Then we checked in. They have few shops around the hotel. Jewelry, clothing and etc. They had a bar and we tried some drinks in the evening they were really good. All three buffets were good. Had wide varieties of food and all very delicious. Really we had nothing to complain about the place. They offer a boat ride which goes through Bentota river and if the weather is good goes to the sea also. There are crocodiles and thats one reason to go. You can spot one definitely. Boat ride is really beautiful. Nice experience. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this place!

A wonderful stay at a truly memorable hotel! This hotel is in a beautiful location—set on a tiny island, which adds a unique charm. You’ll need a small boat to reach it, and that itself felt like part of the experience. We stayed in the family suite, which was spacious, clean, and perfect for relaxing. Our child really enjoyed the stay! The long swimming pool was great, and the beach—as always in Bentota—was stunning. The highlight for us was definitely the food. Despite low occupancy during our stay, the hotel provided buffet meals twice and a lovely set menu for lunch. Everything was fresh and delicious. The service stood out—staff were extremely friendly, always smiling and ready to help. It’s a very kid-friendly resort, with plenty of organized activities, a kids' play area, and options for boating with all the necessary facilities. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Great food, warm hospitality, and a relaxing atmosphere made it a stay to remember. Highly recommended for families!

Very Disappointing Experience – Poor Management and Lack of Standards We recently visited NH Bentota Ceysands Resort (formerly Canatara Resort Bentota), a place that used to be one of our favorites for both overnight stays and day outings. Unfortunately, this time our experience was incredibly disappointing from the moment we arrived. There was no one at the reception to welcome us. We waited aimlessly until, after about 10 minutes, the boat driver finally appeared and handed us a welcome drink—not a great first impression. Once we got to our room, things only got worse. The room was in poor condition, with wet marks all over the bathroom walls, which made it feel dirty and neglected. To our shock, we found a used, stinky bed sheet stored in the cupboard. In a resort of this supposed standard, that’s absolutely unacceptable. There was no mini fridge, which we expected in any decent hotel room. Even the towels provided in the bathroom were absurd—huge pool towels instead of standard bath towels. It felt like no thought was given to guest comfort. We asked room service for slippers, and were told they’d bring some. After waiting 10 minutes with no response, we called back, only to be told that they don’t provide slippers for day use guests. That’s not only unprofessional, but also frustrating. If something isn’t provided, we should be informed upfront—not made to wait and follow up ourselves. The dinner buffet was okay, and the food itself was quite nice. However, the service from the waiters was extremely poor. They seemed untrained and unaware of basic hospitality etiquette. For instance, when I asked for hot water, they poured it into a half-filled cold water glass instead of offering a fresh one—something that any trained hotel staff should know not to do. Clearing plates and guest interactions were also clumsy and inconsistent. I don’t blame the staff themselves—they were kind and seemed willing—but it's clear the hotel management has failed to train them properly. Finally, at check-out, no one even asked how our stay was—a small but important detail that says a lot about the lack of care and attention to guest experience. It’s incredibly sad to see a resort with such a beautiful location and so much past potential fall to this level due to poor management. We’ve been loyal guests here for years, but this visit has left us extremely disappointed. Until the management changes or seriously steps up, I cannot recommend this place anymore.
