Tree of Life Resort

We stayed at the Tree of Life at the end of our three week holiday in Sri-Lanka. We had stayed at a number of different places all around the island at different price and quality points. The tree of Life was safely the best quality accommodation and at a mid price point. The place is small - just 4 rooms described as bungalows. What this means is a generously sized bedroom with an even more generous lay sized on suite. The place is kept spotlessly clean and the staff delightful. They as leo have their own Tuk Tuk to ferry you on short journeys. The pool whilst not big at 15 metres is stylish and very well maintained. Breakfast is great and they also offer both lunch and dinner should you require- both at a high standard (and catering for a western palate) although if you want what the locals eat best venture to Cafe n Chill at the end of the street where a rice and curry meal with all the trimmings come in at 550 rupees (£1.40!) which was the best rice and curry offering we had during our whole trip (and we travelled the whole island). The Tree of Life is a gem of a place and one you will find hard to beat at any price point but given we paid about £70 per night we thought this was pretty reasonable and compared well price wise with the other accommodation during our trip.

What a fantastic location.. The views were just to die for. We, a family of 5, arrived there for lunch at about 2.30pm. Not another soul in the dining area. We enquired if lunch would be available at that odd time. The maitre d obliged. Said everything was available and would be freshly prepared. Sure enough, we ordered so many things from the menu. Everything, literally everything was simply superb. So beautifully served and so lovely in taste. Next time would love to be here and enjoy more of their hospitality and culinary delights.

The staff are so welcome and friendly, the manager is so helpful booking tours and even massages as well as providing tuk tuk service. The rooms are clean and so nice with the most amazing outdoor bathroom design, I wish I had time to stay longer and will book here again when I return to Sri Lanka. Highly recommend!

Bentota is a wonderful place,and the Tree of Life Resort made our experience even better.The resort was clean,and the staff were exceptionally friendly. A special thanks to Mr. Neel, who was very helpful to us. Thank you for the warm welcome!

We have spent entirely memorable 6 nights at the Tree of Life Resort, Bentota. Probably were lucky on being there at the low season, but have enjoyed every minute at the place. It is a brand new tastefully developed property with an absolutely magnificent, friendly, accommodating and professional Team working to meet and exceed any of the (reasonable) customers requirements. Rooms are reasonably spacious, clean with all required and expected facilities. Internet working good enough even for the overseas zoom meetings. Don't get confused with the location, if looking for the beach time. Free of charge tuk-tuk will get you there (and back upon whatsapp text message) within less than 5 minutes. Finally the pool is there for a very convenient in-house sunbathing. In house prepared food is excellent for both: breakfast and dinner. Within our 6 night stay we did not dare to think of seeking any alternative dinner option (even though there are plenty within 5 min tuk-tuk ride). Overall it is great value for money and worth every penny. And the last, but not the least, there is lot of the choice of reasonably priced tours available offered/arranged by the Team. Alongside with the Colombo airport transfer.

There is nothing wrong with the hotel and the staff. The service is next-level, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and comfortable stay. The food and overall atmosphere are great. We will definitely visit again.
