Great intimate hotel with personal service, excellent food and beautifull garden to relax in

“What a great start for our holiday in Sri Lanka. The hotel and welcoming staff gives you an immediate holiday feeling and has a colonial vibe. We stayed at the doctors house with our family of 5 and that is very spacious with 3 bedrooms. Tommy and staff are great and really pamper you with a personal service and excellent food. Highly recommended!”

A little piece of paradise in Bentota

“Nisala Arana is such a tranquil oasis. The grounds are beautiful and there’s something very special about having breakfast whilst watching the kingfishers, green bee eaters and other lovely Sri Lankan birds. The breakfast was the best we had on our travels. We also ate dinner there a couple of times and it was delicious. The team were really accommodating of our 2 little kids and provided high chairs and child appropriate food. The rooms were lovely with a great hot shower and good aircon. They had mosquito nets and anti mosquito coils. They even provided a cot with a net over it for our baby. We would love to come back here some day, it’s a special place.”

“The only positive aspects were the friendly staff and very tasty breakfast.”
Worth knowing: Our stay at this hotel was unfortunately very disappointing. We had booked several nights while traveling in Sri Lanka with our family, but after the first night we had to leave. My wife and our young son slept in the same bed and woke up covered with numerous bites all over their bodies. After consulting with our doctor and sending photos, we were informed that the bites had a typical bed bug pattern, appearing in lines on areas such as the neck, back, stomach, and legs. Because of this, we decided to leave the hotel immediately and find other accommodation. When we contacted the owner and shared photos, he refused to acknowledge the possibility of bed bugs and claimed the bites were from sand flies, even though we had not been on the beach prior to our stay. The bites caused strong allergic reactions, and the symptoms lasted for about two weeks, which significantly affected our trip. What disappointed us most was the owner’s response. No solution or compensation was offered, and the main concern seemed to be that we pay for the remaining nights, even though we had already left. The only positive aspects were the friendly staff and very tasty breakfast. Unfortunately, due to this experience, we cannot recommend this hotel.
Stunning garden setting, gorgeous rooms and lovely staff in a charming location

“A stunning garden setting full of wildlife and with beautifully stylish rooms . We loved the authentic village setting away from the busier areas and close to the river. The staff were absolutely lovely.”
Worth knowing: A few more sunbeds by the pool would be useful
