This is a unique property. Much appreciated the serene and unhurried atmosphere. Very quiet property, the sound of the waves is the background music and ocean breeze is very nice. Staff were nice and professional. Great please to disconnect and leave your devices in the room.

One of the best hotels we've ever stayed at (and we travel a lot!). Definitely recommend the room with the private plunge pool (which includes your own personal butler). INCREDIBLE view to wake up to in the morning and you won't regret it! Also the restaurant is so good, we ate every single meal there and couldn't get enough of the food. They made excellent local Sri Lankan dishes with so much flavor and spa. Spa services were also excellent! We will definitely be coming back!

Great stay

We had a very nice stay here. The location, staff, food, service was all great. My only complaint is that the room and pool feel outdated and need an update & freshening up.

An exceptional hotel

First time in Sri Lanka. Simply one of the best hotels we have stayed in anywhere. Friendly, courteous staff who couldn't do enough for us, a superb room with a balcony offering a beautiful beach view. We stayed five nights and didn't bother to eat anywhere else - the food was excellent. We wanted to take the chef home with us. We took long walks along the beaches and spent a lot of time in the wonderful hotel grounds and by the very stylish infinity pool. We want to visit Sri Lanka again soon and will be sure to include Saman Villas in our stay.

Saman Paradise

Saman Villa is very well situated as you have long stretches of beach towards the north and south of the hotel for you to walk on The suite that we were in had spectacular view of the northern beach. We could see the lighthouse and Bentota town in the distance. There was a beautiful terrace where we had breakfast on the first morning. Service was impeccable as staff was friendly and helpful. They look after all of our needs. The bed was very comfortable and we simply loved the open shower and the huge bath tub in the en-suite washroom. We only had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and we would highly recommend the Sri Lankan special where we had authentic Sri Lanka cuisine such as the porridge which you take with palm sugar and the egg hoppers. Service was impeccable from the FnB team as they are very friendly and efficient.
Overall, we had a wonderful time during our stay there and will definitely recommend everyone to stay here. Ask for Indika for your guide; he arranges very interesting day trips for you during your stay.

Me and my boyfriend stayed 4 days here. Was not enough. Our room was gorgeous and very spacious. The bathroom was a dream. But the best part was our private pool in our backyard. Heavenly!!!

The staff was soooooooo accommodating!

Spa was a bit pricey but beautiful.

The breakfast were so amazing. We had room service everyday! Definitely recommend that!

Lovely but not worth the money

Lovely place. Beautiful setting. Thoughtfully and tastefully done. However we had booked a villa wth a private pool. What we didn't realise was that the villas were two story and so although the pool was 'private' in that we had exclusive access there was no privacy. The people upstairs when they were on their balcony were close enough that we could have had a conversation with them from the pool. For half the price we paid that would have been excusable but at £500 per night B and B it was not value for money. Also would have appreciated tea/coffee facilities in the room. We were entitled to one delivered free each day but for some reason this was only before 12 midday otherwise we had to pay.

Great hotel with fantastic staff.

We had 'standard' rooms, i.e. not the ones with the private pools. The main pool is just superb, and we often had it entirely to ourselves, so felt this was a good choice. The rooms were great, food was great and choices extensive. We thought meal prices were very reasonable for a self-contained place. This is essentially a place to kick back and relax, and made a great last stop before heading home. The Christmas eve entertainment was simple but stylish and was performed with enthusiasm and great spirit.

Fantastic relaxing hotel with great service.

We had a great stay at Saman Villas, and we had fantastic service from the day we booked and all through our stay. The whole hotel was very clean. The garden and pool area was really calm and relaxing.The view from the room was fantastic. The restaurant had a good variaty on the menu, so even though we had all our meals at the hotel we did not eat the same once. We even got married in Saman Villas, and only by comunicating by mail two weeks before we arrived they managed to make the day more special and even better than what I planned.

Excellent resort for couples.

Excellent resort for couples.
Staff - exceptional, friendly, not overbearing.
Airport pickup was pleasant and efficient with an ad hoc stop to pickup some local fruit for us to try.
Checkin smooth and fast with a welcome sparkling wine and fruits served on arrival.
Room - clean and comfortable with an opened bathroom.
Balcony with seaviews (like all rooms) perfect for the complimentary afternoon tea.
Delicious and plentiful meals with a good bar.

Infinity pool is stunning with excellent views of the ocean.

Location of the resort on a rocky promontory means access to 2 beaches which were both beautiful and peaceful. The sea was rough due to the low/monsoon season but fun and warm.

Complimentary spa massage was wonderful.

We had so many little things added on such as gift sweets and a personalised souvenir which really made us feel pampered and special.

A perfect stay at the start of our honeymoon.

- Access: 1.5 - 2.0 hours by taxi from Bandaranaike International Airport.
- Climate: Dry season, 25 - 30°C and comfortable ocean winds.
- Appearance of the hotel: Graceful, sophisticated design that integrates the local arts, culture and plants with a Western, modern style.
- Staff: Gentle, modest and professional. When we got in a few troubles, they always supported us so quickly.
- Restaurant: We enjoyed and loved the various kinds of local food, cookings and beverages with beautiful scenery of Indian ocean and the marvelous sunset. Some Western / other Asian countries' cookings are also served so that we were not tired and enjoyed every meal for the all 4 nights. There are special locations that filled our five senses and gave a special dinner, a special night.
- Facility: Swimming in the large pool on the hill where the Indian ocean and long beach can be seen impressed and comforted us the most in our lives. We also could rest on the beach chairs, seeing the ocean and hearing the waves.

Fantastic retreat with all you ever wished for!

Amazing retreat with all the luxury and charm you've ever looked for. Private modern bungalows with \"outside\" bathroom and all other amenities you seek. Location is one of the best I've ever seen on top of a small cliff on the beach overlooking the ocean on three sides. The infinity pool is just amazing! Service is great, as well as food, spa and staff friendliness. Definitely the best place to stay in Sri Lanka.
