There's not a soul on the beach here in August. Heaven.

August is a time of strong waves in Bentota. My husband and I have managed to swim, but apart from us, we've only seen swimming in Bentota itself, and Villa Susi is a 10-minute bus ride from Bentota. It's kind of suburban. So - the owner met us in the street when we, tired, with suitcases, were shaving on the way from Induruwa station , since we arrived by train. We lived at Sussie's for five days - and it was very good. Because you're "out of season" in August - we were alone, no one else in the guesthouse or on the beach. Beach from the villa 30 seconds walk . for breakfast - chic plate with fruit, tea, coffee, pastries! For dinner - we bought a kilo of shrimp and asked Sussie to cook it for us two nights in a row... It was delicious. The room is a bit dark and needs repair. Be sure to close the door to the toilet so that insects do not run in, although there is a mosquito net over the bed, spread it and everything will be okay. Anyway - we liked everything, even a little tired room. But the main thing is the ocean - it's gorgeous here. (but in August waves) approach to the ocean - through the jungle..

I will definitely come back and I’m so happy I found this place. Highly recommended!

Liked: What a fantastic place! The breakfast is amazing and very personal, without a doubt the best I’ve ever had. The location is perfect, right on the beach — you can’t ask for more. The host is incredibly friendly and caring. He truly looks after you and makes sure you always feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Nothing is too much trouble: he brings fresh juices, gives great food and travel recommendations, and even offers rides to the city center or bus station. The rooms are clean and well maintained, and the price–quality ratio is excellent. I will definitely come back and I’m so happy I found this place. Highly recommended!
