Die kleinen Bungalows von Sanda Eliya sind einfach toll, ein verstecktes kleines Ruheparadies! Der Pool ist wunderbar groß und sehr gepflegt, alles ist sauber und das Frühstück einfach grandios! Früchte, Roti, Curry, Sambal, Omelette, einfach eine singalesische Vielfalt in ihrer besten Zubereitung und Qualität! Nuwan, der Gastgeber ist ein so herzlicher, freundlicher, fröhlicher und hilfsbereiter Mensch, der einfach für Alles da ist und den man Alles fragen kann. Er organisiert super und gibt gute Tipps! Wir haben ihn ins Herz geschlossen! Die Lage von Sanda Eliya ist sehr nahe dem Bentota Strand, der wunderschön ist. Ausflüge zu Bentotariver Safari, Galle, Ahunghalla usw. kann alles von hier aus gemacht werden, falls nötig organisiert Nuwa Alles.... Wir haben den Start unserer Rundreise durch Sri Lanka für 5 Tage im Sanda Eliya Resort sehr genossen und hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in Sri Lanka mit all den tollen Sehenwürdigkeiten und den unglaublich herzlichen Menschen! Danke Nuwa, wir denken an dich! :) Sabine & Hannes :) Graz/Österreich

Завтрак очень вкусный, вилла чистая и очень красивая, территория выше всяких похвал. Рядом самый красивый и удобный пляж Очень приятно было, когда на день рождения мне подарили красочный букет:) Это место настолько крутое, что мы отменили часть своих последующих планов, чтобы вернуться сюда
L’hôte est vraiment très sympathique, la piscine, l’océan pas loin. Très bonne qualité de literie.
L’odeur d’humidité dans le chalet ainsi que le linge de maison.
We liked everything about this property. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and spotless. A warm pool is right outside your door and comfortable sunbeds are available. The gardens are filled with birds, fruit trees and other home grown produce. Communication from the host is excellent as are his breakfasts and help with shopping, booking restaurants etc. The property is in a very good location. 5 minutes from the beautiful beach and tuk tuks which can take you to numerous restaurants. It is at the quieter end of the beach but an easy walk to facilities at the other end. We loved our stay here.

Sehr freundlicher Eigentümer, sehr schönes kleines Appartementhäuschen. Alles blitzblank und sehr gepflegt. Top Frühstück. Kurzer Fußweg zum Strand.
Das Resort war die erste Station auf unserer Rundreise. Ideal zum „Ankommen“. Das Resort ist sehr gepflegt und in eine wunderschöne Vegetation eingebettet. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der tolle, richtig große Pool. Gastgeber Nuwan spricht auch deutsch und ist rundum sehr um seine Gäste besorgt. Seinen TukTuk Service haben wir auch gerne in Anspruch genommen. Das Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig und lecker und mehr als seinen Preis wert. Der nahe Strand ist superschön und man hat ihn fast für sich alleine…. Im Beachrestaurant (Wave) kann man kostenlos Sonnenliegen benutzen, wenn man ein Getränk bestellt. Also: rundum zu empfehlen!
Es gibt keine Geschäfte und nur wenige Restaurants in der Nähe. Aber es gibt ja genügend Tuk Tuks.
Sauber, ruhig gelegen, Gastgeber extrem freundlich, hilfsbereit und spricht gutes deutsch, der Garten ist voll mit Früchten und Pflanzen, die uns der Gastgeber gezeigt hat, man kann quasi von der Terrasse aus in den Pool springen, das Frühstück ist sehr üppig und vielfältig (gegen einen kleinen Preis), der Strand ist fußläufig in 2 Min. erreichbar, der hauseigene TukTuk-Fahrer ist sehr nett

Отличное расположение отеля. Супер хороший и дружелюбный хозяин, который порекомендовал отличные экскурсии и рестораны и мало того, так ещё и сам в них отвезёт и заберёт. А так приготовит потрясающие завтраки с трационными блюдами и наисвежайшими тропическими фруктами. Отель находится в тихом месте, подальше от шумного города. Через дорогу - океан . Почти безлюдный красивейший пляж . Волны большие, но приемлемые для плавания . Рекомендуем для посещения!
Beautiful setting, gorgeous green garden surrounding the pool, very private, quick walk to the beach. Super friendly and helpful host and delicious breakfast (you won’t need lunch afterwards)
We were visiting for a wedding and it was a little hard to get a tuktuk back from bentota late at night as it’s a little out of the town but that was also part of the charm of the place to be be in a private spot away from all the large resorts. Toilet flush didn’t work very well.
it was my second stay at Sanda Eliya Resort, got the same bungalow😊. Breakfast was amazing with all different kind of fruit, eggs, toast, coffee,…. the bungalow was spotless clean , the bed big and comfortable, the bathroom has a separating glass between shower and the rest! Coffee, tea, kettle are provided in the room, there is also a little fridge. and not to forget the big outdoor pool! it is only ~200m to the most beautifull beach! I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere very much !!! Nuwan is the best host ever - thanks for everything and all the chats we had! see you next time

Modern bungalows in a calm and beautiful garden. You can spot a variety of birds and other animals in the garden. The owner is very helpful and overall a really nice person. He helped us book tables at restaurants, fixed taxis or drove us himself when we needed. The breakfast is great. You will not need to eat lunch.
We loved our stay at Sanda Eliya! The cabin we had was very spacious, clean and luxurious. We loved it so much we decided to stay a few days longer. Owner Nuwan was super kind and helpful, always in for a chat and helped us book tours, taxis etc. He made us feel at home immediately. The garden is very green with lots of animals that can be spotted throughout the day - we saw birds, lizards and even a tortoise! Also the large swimmingpool with sunbeds was amazing during the hot summer days. We loved the location of the accomodation, it is across the road from the beach and just outside of the busy city of Bentota. 10/10 would recommend.
Clean, tidy, in great condition throughout. Great bed, great facilities in the room. Bathroom was good and shower was good. We loved Sammon the Tuk Tuk driver who was so obliging, informative and friendly. The owner seems very committed to upgrading the hotel to an even higher standard and is heading in the right direction.
Entrance Road and signage could be improved.
I stayed 4 nights at the Villa Girava with a nice pool and garden view. It looked new, was spacious and clean, the bed very big and comfortable, the shower good.. The pool was also very big and the water nice. Nuwan is a very nice and friendly host, always available for help and questions. Breakfast was served with a lot of delicious exotic fruits, eggs, sausages, toast and other sweet and savory local delicacies. A friend was also around to take me/ other guests anywhere (dinner in town, shops, pharmacy,..) with his TukTuk, even to Galle with a few interesting stops ( turtles, moonstone mine)( extra charge). I loved the area - a little out of town. The most beautiful beach was just 200m cross the road. The beachclub provides free sunbeds when you purchase a snack or drink…the ocean was just perfect! The train was absolutely no problem for a good night sleep! I definitely come back!
A/C was little loud, but the extra Fan was good enough. Construction site next door was going on one hole day till 10 pm. Nuwan managed them to stop. I had to pay a little extra for a beach towel
Loved the room and loved the pool. Overall vibe was very nice, very relaxed and very friendly! Easy check in was really helpful and appreciated.
Neighbouring bungalow air conditioner was quiet loud and a little bit annoying.
Really nice quiet place with excellent view of the nature, close to a good beach and nice restaurant and drive to the city, excellent large pool, excellent clean spacious hut, small attention to details like remote controlled fan and AC and sockets next to bed, in the Nature but no crawlies in the room, clean large beach towels, excellent changing breakfast, personalized attention
Accepts cash only but is committed to change this in tbe next months
We have spend here 14 days. It’s really perfect place if you are looking for calmness and quiet place. Very friendly owner or manager, great pool and traditional breakfast. Every morning the asian palm civet walking on the property.
WiFi, but this is location problem. Because location of the property are far away few kilometres from the city.
The Host Nuwan went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. He was very easy to communicate with and was very helpful with suggestions of things to see and do in the area. Suban the tuk tuk driver and helper at the hotel took us on an excellent tour of the area and was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Breakfast here was amazing and well worth the price. I would highly recommend staying here.
Not within walking distance of the main town.
This place is run by a lovely guy who couldn't be more helpful. The room was spotless and large with a very comfortable bed. Fabulous breakfast!
Frosted glass in the bathroom would be a nice aid to privacy. The development of the site is ongoing and we had an issue with yellow coloured water. Seemed expensive for what was currently on offer.
Our stay was perfect in this place - from the 1st minute we met the host till the minute we left. We even prolonged our stay. The place is beautiful - design, swimming pool, nature. You really can feel the surrounding nature, but at the same time very safe. The special thing is awesome breakfast served. Many thanks to the host - Nuwan, who really cares about his guests. He spent a lot of time with us, telling interesting things about his country, helping with some shopping & transport. We even made our own spice to take home with us and went to night crabs hunting on the beach !!!
