The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

攜程網訂的史密斯夫婦天堂之路酒店，但當地人壓根沒聽過這個名，當地叫the villa，也叫KK collection 這就是巴瓦的莫霍提莊園，70年代還是舊祖屋，後來被巴瓦買下做了斯里蘭卡第一家精品酒店。巴瓦找了幾個朋友都沒買，最後他自己買下來，必然是很有趣的，透過圍牆上的窗子就能看見火車，院子出去就是鐵軌🛤️和印度洋。酒店有點像廈門鼓浪嶼的小洋樓，小巧精緻美麗，適合拍照打卡，當天剛好看見一組人為新人拍婚紗照。房間豪華而舒適，看見火車過，趕緊又拍了兩個小視頻。巴瓦大師的建築，必須五分好評。

We had our 2 day wedding at Villa Bentota by KK collection. We cannot put into words how perfect this venue was for our wedding. We used different parts of the complex for different parts of the wedding which gave each part a different unique experience. The outdoor space was spacious and very well kept. To walk over the train tracks to get to the beach gave an authentic feel to the whole thing. All the rooms very amazing. They were constantly kept clean, water bottles and filtered water available throughout the property. Great menu options from Sri Lankan dishes to western dishes. The beach is also very beautiful and generally quiet. It’s perfect for our beach ceremony. Staff were so attentive and went the extra mile for us and every guest. Everything they did was with a smile which just made everyone feel so welcome. Big shout out to Mr Ruwan, any questions regarding food and drinks he will resolve. Always available and will do his best to make everything perfect for you. Mr Kalpa has been fantastic during the planning process, no question was too small and no question went unanswered. Nothing was a problem and he catered to unexpected situations on the day such as changing last minute meals to allowing us to have an unexpected pool party. In short if you’re deciding to stay here, have an event here or even a wedding. Don’t hesitate, just book and trust they will do everything in their control to make your stay/wedding the best.

I had high expectations for this “heritage property,” but unfortunately, it was a letdown. First, the drainage system is a disaster—it simply doesn’t work. Be prepared for bathroom issues during your stay. The worst part, though, is the location. It’s right next to train tracks, and let me tell you, good luck getting any sleep with trains roaring past at all hours. If you’re after peace and tranquility, this is definitely not the place. Now, be very careful when booking because the cancellation policies are extremely strict. They seem far more focused on squeezing every penny out of their guests than actually providing good service. Despite the hotel being barely 30% full, there’s zero flexibility or consideration. Don’t expect any understanding from management either—George, in particular, made sure that every detail of their penny-pinching policies was enforced to the letter, leaving no room for discussion. It’s unfortunate to say, but the KK Collection seems more interested in protecting their bottom line than in ensuring guests have a pleasant experience.
