Book a hotel near Pothupitiya Beach, Wadduwa

"We loved our stay at Granbell, the hotel is stunning the staff are amazing and overall we had a lovely time. We also booked in for a spa treatment which was brilliant as the room overlooked the sea and it was amazing. "

"Hotel: Mandarina Colombo Room no: 406 Staff: 10/10 Location: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Soundproofing: 4/10 Blockout curtains: Yes Comments: Hotel guests get discount at the breakfast and dinner buffet. Decent selection even if you have dietary requirements, although people with coeliac might be limited. For example at the breakfast buffet the tomatoes are sitting on bread. "

"Very personal service despite being a mid sized resort hotel "

"This hotel is chef's kiss. The pool and poolside are brilliantly thought out and massive so you can have a peaceful dip even if it's busy (I went out of season). My riverside room was the perfect way to start every day and the food, even the Western food, is really good. The service is unrivalled, it surpassed my expectations. I would say the hotel's greatest asset is its location in between the river and the sea, where you also you get lots of wildlife. And a 7 minute walk (plus couple of minutes shuttle boat to the town side) to Aluthgama train station. The minute you're out of the town side entrance, you're in the thick of town life but you wouldn't know it from the island oasis the hotel is on. It's walking distance to the Secret Island temple and Bentota Bridge, which are the only things Bentota offers other than beach. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to everyone who comes to Sri Lanka for a relaxed, luxurious beach holiday. Special shout out to Thilak the boatman and Masheshani on reception, who were both stars. Auic and all who work at Ceylon Club and the pool men."

"Location is great but service needs to be improved."

"A bit late but we had a great stay. Highlight was Kumara the yoga teacher who adjusted the level as i was the only one that turned up. Guys around the resturant pool were good. And the office lady who helped me off site when she was walking hone and i had an issue."
