What We Think?
Why not call any of our Tour Consultants on 020 7100 2323 – they have ALL been to The Bentota Beach Hotel and can answer any of your questions!

In A Nutshell:
The Royal Palms is the best known 5 star All Inclusive Hotel in Sri Lanka and at times offers very special rates. There is a sister hotel next door, The Tangerine Beach Hotel, so together the complex offers plenty of facilities (clients can use both) even though the locality is fairly quiet among.

Tips: You should plan to combine a stay here with 2 or 3 longer stopover excursions to the interior of the island. This will enable you to have an interesting and enjoyable holiday while using the Blue Water Hotel to totally relax in between excursions.
