Stairs to the pool area. The hotel was designed by architect Geoffrey Bawa to a form of an old Dutch fort. The Bentota Beach Hotel built in 1968 was Sri Lanka's first purpose-built resort hotel, combining the conveniences required by demanding tourists with a sense of place and continuity |

The hotel room 111 was directly over the bandstand
of the bar. We went to bed every night at 22 and the band stopped playing at 24. |

|
The bar served also coffee. We recommend the Bentota Club Sandwitch with a botle of Lion beer. |

Waiting for omelets at breakfast. The self made ice cream desert at dinner was delicious. The enjoyment would have been perfect with LONG ice cream spoons. The hard concrete sealing of the dining area echoed the voices strongly. Perhaps the panorama window classes where installed afterwards which caused the noice level to grow considerably . |
