A beautiful place situated 2 minutes from the beach. Really well presented, extra touches to make everything appear special with flowers on the bed and on dining table. Beaches and pool towels are also provided which is very handy. We and an evening meal which was very tasty and plentiful. Yes indeed the area has more mosquitoes than perhaps others but the hotel takes many steps to alleviate the nuisance. We didn’t find the railway a bother at all. All in all a great place and happy to recommend.

Great place to stay in Bentota within a 5 minute walk to the best beach in the area. There are also good eateries around with excellent food and reasonable prices. The rooms at the villa are maintained to the highest standards, very clean, hot water, kitchen, cutlery, complimentary tea/coffee. Channa, the host , and his family are very supportive, helped to arrange airport transfer and some other trips. Strongly recommend.

I absolutely loved this place. It was a 5 min walk to the beach, and cleaner than any place I've stayed in before. The family were incredibly warm and accommodating. I would recommend wholeheartedly.

We loved everything about the property, right from the check in, to check out.. the family who is running the property are exceptionally sweet and helpful. Food is so delicious and the rooms and facilities are mind blowing. It was like home away from home. Haven’t been so comfortable on any trip as much as we were at happy man village. Three cheers for Su & his family!! Very well kept property. Highly highly recommended!!

Absolutely amazing place. The owners were so lovely and really attentive - they even gave us complimentary drinks and fruits from the garden and called us when there were monkeys and birds around. Was in a beautiful setting at one with nature but still just a short walk to shops and restaurants. The room, bathroom and balconies couldn’t have been nicer. Best place we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka :)

The calm and quiet surrounding, clean and tidy bedroom and bathroom, convenience of location (close to the main road/not too far from the Bentota town), friendly host, and most of all Value for Money! We were attending a wedding at a nearby hotel and the host kindly let us back into the room even after checking out earlier in the day so that we could freshen up before our long journey back home.

We loved the Red Coconut Villa, everything was perfect. The garden is amazing, like an oasis. Everything is so tastefully done, it couldn’t be better. The beach is across the road, so quiet. We enjoyed our last 2 days before we went home to England and it was the best place to finish. Thank you for everything! Paul + Monika

I couldn't speak high enough about this hotel. Everything was perfect. The property is new and super clean, comfy beds and very modern building. In addition to your room and balcony area, you will have entrance to a large and very well equipped kitchen, with large refrigerator and everything you need to feel like at home. If you are a family with multiple rooms, as we were, then the breakfast will also be served there. Talking about breakfast- the hotel manager arranged a very delicious breakfast each morning and there were always papaya, watermelon, but every morning we could taste some new fruit and some new local dish, so this was beyond any expectation that I could have. I have not seen such a breakfast anywhere before, and this was all prepared just for our group of 4 people! There are 6 rooms at the hotel, and it is situated a bit outside the center, but we actually walked there from the city center some evenings, and it was a 15-20 minutes walk, also to the beach area. It was absolutely quiet place, surrounded mostly by local homes, so in the morning time you wake up to birds song. Pool is super clean, and as we were staying on ground floor, it really felt as if we had a private pool most of the time. The hotel manager was always there to help us with any question, he was always ready to take us to restaurant, beach, shopping, ayurveda treatments etc with the tuktuk and all this for a very reasonable price, almost for free I would say. He arranged river safari for a very good price, and was willing to help us with any other question. We stayed at 8 different hotels during our stay in Sri Lanka, but this hotel is the best, and it is probably the best place that I have ever stayed at. Looking forward to come back there one day!

    This property was a real oasis on the other side of the railway track. It was luxurious, had lovely decor, had a good pool, had great hosts and was excellent value. The breakfasts were fantastic and our host Nelson cooked us 2 delicious meals on our 2 nights there - the food was so good that we just didn’t want to eat anywhere else. Right up there with all the places we stayed in during our Sri Lankan holiday. A great find!

    Lovely room hosted by a lovely family. The room is spacious and comfotable with a quiet a/c. When I first arrived, the wifi wasn't working that well, I mentioned it to the host, and he called Digitel and fixed it in 5 minutes! Then there was a huge storm and the electricity went out, and they were in my room in no time turning on the fuses. No problem was too big for this family! I also loved my breakfasts here-- I have all kinds of food issues-- low carb, no gluten, and the dad happily created healthy and delicious breakfasts for me!

    What a wonderful place. We felt so welcome. The room was lovely and clean, and we had a quite large outdoor private area. The host is very friendly and serviceminded. She recommend the best restaurants and made good deals for us for tours and transport. The guesthouse is in a quiet area not far from the most wonderful beach you could imagine. You just have to go down the road, cross the railway at the station and go through the park....We highly recommend a stay and would gladly return of we came to the area again
