Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Mahamodara Beach, Galle International Cricket Stadium and Galle Fort. Koggala Airport is 13 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Everything exceeded our expectations, to be honest. The room was spacious and even it is in a central area, it is very quiet. It is also a short 5-10 min walk to the fort which is the main attraction in the city and just a couple minutes away from the bazaar. The breakfast was outstanding, one of the best we had in our trip in Sri Lanka. And so was the coffee! The staff were very nice and helpful, they went out of their way to help us with an issue we had completely unrelated to our stay there which was greatly appreciated.

The Find Hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a restaurant and bar in Ahangama. Among the facilities at this property are room service and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Kabalana Beach is 200 metres from the hotel and Galle International Cricket Stadium is 19 km away. The stay was incredible; just being in front of the sea is everything. A peaceful beach with not many people, and the fact that the hotel owner is present makes it even more special. They are always attentive to ensure you are comfortable and have everything you need. Honestly, it’s a unique and exceptional place. I would definitely stay there again—I loved it!

Facing the beachfront, Sisi's Place offers 3-star accommodation in Bentota and has a garden, private beach area and terrace. The property is around 1.7 km from Aluthgama Railway Station, 4 km from Kande Viharaya Temple and 5.4 km from Lunuganga. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Sisi's place was fantastic, it was pretty much right on the beach and they've fitted it out with everything you could need or want. The bed was super comfy (comfiest pillows we've had the whole trip), they had hanging racks both inside and outside on the balcony to dry any swimming gear, and they had chairs and tables both inside and on the balcony (which had a great view of the train tracks and to the sea). The fridge was so handy, there was a wardrobe, and a dresser/mirror, the room and balcony were so spacious, they had both a fan and and air conditioner which worked great! The room was so clean. The bathroom was great and they also had a squeegee which is an awesome touch with the open shower (hot water works not that you need it). Both hosts were so lovely, and the breakfast was delicious. We also got a lift to and from the turtle sanctuary for a great price. Honestly one of the most comfortable places we stayed. Also a great location. Can't recommend it enough.
