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.

From the moment we walked in, the tropical vibes and beachfront breeze set the perfect tone. The pool glowed beautifully in the evening, and the palm-lined surroundings made it feel like a postcard. Staff were genuinely kind, and the buffet offered a flavorful mix of local and international dishes

The hotel had a great atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and always helpful. Staff would approach you on various occasions to make sure you were enjoying your stay and that everything was OK with the facilities, etc. The pool was clean and well maintained. The food was delicious, with a good variety of dishes to suit all tastes, and the presentation was impressive. Our room was comfortable, spacious, and kept very clean throughout our stay. Housekeeping was consistent and attentive. The location of the hotel was also ideal—close enough to local attractions but still peaceful and relaxing. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. I would happily return in the future.

Room very good and staff couldn't be more helpful, Rohan looking after the pool area was very helpful and gets a definite 10/10 for effort , the beach at Moragalla is excellent and there's an excellent beach bar and restaurant just along the beach . Breakfast buffet was good every day. Gayan and Indica our regular Tuktuk drivers both couldn't be more helpful

Location near the beach. The territory is small, but very pleasant and green. Beautiful pool area. Spacious sea view room with balconies; all necessary in room amenities. Free parking. Good working WiFi. Helpful staff. The room cleaning was good thanks to Puynaku. Breakfast was okay, but nothing special.
