Bentota Travel Forum

We are due to go to Club Bentota on 1st December 2006 with some friends for 2 weeks holiday. We are quite concerned about various issues, we believe that renovation is going on at the moment, we have been advised by Hayes and Jarvis that this will be completed by the end of October 2006. They have informed us that they are still sending people to Club Bentota and no complaints have come back.

Does anyone know how these renovations are going, if so will they be completed by the end of October? It is a long way to travel not knowing what you will be met with once you arrive. We also hear about a Bentota Beach hotel which is also undergoing refurbishment, and we are wondering if it is the same hotel.

Any information would be much appreciated

Hi
Club Bentota, and Bentota Beach are indeed two separate hotels!

Club Bentota has now finished all refurbishments and open fully, so you should have no problems here, Bentota Beach however has deferred thier refurbishment until May next year, but has changed names too Cinnamon Beach.
Hope this helps
Regards
Dave

We just stayed at Bentota Beach Hotel for 3 weeks and it was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! Highly recommend it. I didn't see any refurbishment going on (July 16-August 5) and it looked in top shape. We had one of our best holidays here. Excellent food and very pleasant rooms and surroundings. We went on an all-inclusive basis.
