Occidental Eden Beruwala

I live in Sri Lanka for more than 2 years and been to dozen of hotels around the island. This on is the best so far! Room and interiors are clean and fancy. I even got the free room upgrade to the one with the bathtub. The staff was great and friendly, especially when I told that I live here :) I was here at the time of Sinhala-Tamil New Year in April. And they organized the half day outdoor party for guests with traditional food, artists, dances, games and NY snacks. They even invited me to take part in traditional rituals like parade and lighting the hearth. As for the location - some reviews are negative about it. I would say the opposite. The beach location is where Bentota river meets Indian ocean. In the morning the water from the river is refreshing and clean, especially during the storm and high tide. If you want waves and more "Ocean experience" - you can go just 200 meters to the right. Breakfast is fine and various from the frut to SL exotics. Nice coffee. Some amenities like squash (always wanted try it) were closed, but from the other side that was the first hotel in SL where there was enough people to play beach volley, even with the staff.

Clean and spacious with friendly staff.

We liked the food. The restaurant had a great variety of dishes ranging from local cuisine to variety of international. Also included a bbq station. Tasty deserts. The pool and beach area are well designed. The staff is friendly and supportive for all our needs. it is difficult to pinpoint all the good qualities of the place ... Especially since we got a great offer as last minute on booking. We highly recommend the place for anyone who whats to have a short retreat.

Very warm and cutlural welcome to the hotel.. where you light a paper at the oil lamp. Great food selection all day. And the breakfast was definitely a winner for me. Brilliant and attentive hotel management and team members. And quick access to the beach!

My stay at Occidental Eden Beruwala was truly unforgettable. The property is beautifully maintained, offering an ideal combination of comfort, tranquility, and breathtaking scenery. From the moment we arrived, the level of hospitality was remarkable. I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mina, the supervisor, whose exceptional service truly stood out. She was not only incredibly kind and attentive but also went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. Her professionalism and genuine warmth made us feel completely at home. I wholeheartedly recommend Occidental Eden Beruwala to anyone visiting the area. With such a welcoming atmosphere and dedicated staff like Mina, you’re assured of an outstanding and memorable experience.
