“The perfect stay with the perfect hosts”

Everything was perfect at this villa for us as a group of 5 visiting the area for a wedding happening down the road to the property. The rooms were lovely and big and very clean. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and the hosts always catered to our timings and requests without question. The pool outside and the garden itself was stunning, but nothing beat the 1 minute walk to the beach right behind the property! The hosts helped us with transport to the wedding location across the 3 days which we greatly appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Would highly recommend for all types of travellers.

Peaceful and such wonderful staff.

“Great place to recharge the batteries…the breakfasts and dinners were superb.”

Clean…great pool to cool off in

Had a good stay, the staff were very very helpful Clean and plenty of hot water The pool was clean and was thoroughly enjoyed, breakfast was freshly made

“3-star perfection”

This is a perfect example of accommodation where pictures don't lie, and when the ratings meet the expectations. You get exactly what is shown, and even better. It is worth taking the ground-floor king room - more spacious and direct access to the pool. The breakfast was great. The bathroom is awesome, and the AC doesn't blow directly to your head when sleeping. A perfect 10.

“Perfect stay on our first night in Sri Lanka before discovering the southern beaches”

Very clean, comfortable stay. Lovely pool. Bit isolated but only need a quick tuk tuk or uber to lovely beach side restaurants. There is a beach 200 yards from the hotel.

A lovely accommodation with a good swimming pool, sun loungers and umbrellas. Meals on the upstairs balcony with plentiful food. Staff very attentive and helpful. The location was quiet and only 50m from the beach so we did lovely walks along the shore. Waves strong so best to swim 400m along the beach in front of the hotel there which has life guards.

There is a lot of garden space and greenery and the pool is so lovely. Breakfast was really tasty especially the Sri Lankan food. We appreciated the effort and friendly service of the staff and the convenience of checking in at night and having plenty of space for parking.

The staff were just wonderful with the boys & the rooms were big & lovely.

“Bentota is simply beautiful and this villa is the perfect place to stay. I only wish we could stay longer”

The property is so beautiful and right near the beach. Mosquitos nets over beds and beautiful large rooms. Great sized bathroom also!

“A quiet little haven”

If you are looking for a busy hotel Nil Menik Villa is not for you, very quiet only 4 bedrooms. We felt it was our own private villa most of the time as we had 2 rooms. Lovely pool, whole villa well maintained and clean. The food was good and everything cooked to order, so we gave our dinner preferences at least an hour before, which wasn’t a problem If like us you have done a whirlwind tour of Sri Lanka IMO this is the perfect place to chill before the long flight home.

Beautiful property right by the beach. Mendis and Jayantha (sorry if I got the spelling wrong), were very hospitable and we hung out and watched some sports together in the evening. The food was excellent, it was really peaceful and a nice place to end my Sri Lanka travels.

“Excellent stay”

The villa is beautiful place to spend a quiet holiday with your family and friends. It’s located next to the beach with beautiful views. The place is simple , clean and offers serene vibes. The pool is excellent and the rooms though basic were neat and clean. The staff is super helpful and accommodating. They looked after us with lots of cheer and enthusiasm. Will surely recommend the place to our friends and family.

“Overall excellent”

Inside the resort and the pool!!

“Perfect villa”

The villa is absolutely perfect, the rooms were clean and the pool was spotless. We had the whole place to ourselves for two days as no other guests and it was just what we needed. The beach is a short walk and is beautiful. You can’t swim right outside the house but 500m up there is a place to swim. We were recommended food places to go by the two guys running it and they were just perfect. The breakfast was lovely and they accommodated for our needs. The two guys were so so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us. They never stop smiling. It was a pleasure to stay here and if we could have extended our trip we would have done.

The villa and surroundings very beautiful, pool was clean and warm. Everything was nice and clean, well organized. Mendis and Jayantha took very good care of us. They cooked us fantastic breakfasts and dinners :). The beach was few steps away. Ocean warm, nice palm trees.

“Excellent stay!”

Everything! Beautiful house, garden and pool situated nearby the beach. The sound of waves in the garden is very peaceful. Smaller details are considered, eg mattress on sun beds, several towel types. Highly flexible and caring hosts - thank you for driving us around and cooking great food! They did their upmost for our satisfaction, and we actually extended our stay from 1 to 4 nights. Highly recommendable! One note on turtle nesting: very possible and easily accessible from the villa. Please, be a good tourist and respect the turtles. That means 1) do not disturb with white lights, 2) keep silent, and 3) don’t touch them! (Bacteria may kill them and other turtles). Regarding hatcheries, find a place that releases babies within 1 (max 2) days of hatching - otherwise, they have minimal chance of surviving according to National Geographic

“Relaxing”

Safe, clean and the staff were excellent. Catering was superb.

“brilliant”

the property was as described, staff were lovely and very accommodating, the room was the nicest room i have stayed in in Sri Lanka over 3 weeks

“A perfect place for a peaceful stay.”

Great place! We stayed 5 nights before going to the airport. The best reviews about the staff, who were ready to do everything to make us feel as comfortable and well fed as possible. The food was great, very tasty fish, tiger prawns and on the last night we were served a very tasty chicken curry. Note that no wine or cocktails are available here, but beer and soft drinks, fresh juices. The room was comfortable and spacious, with an exit to the pool. The pool is big, warm and very clean. The place is well-kept, the sea is nearby, fantastic. We will definitely be back.
