Honest review
If your main question is whether children can swim safely, the answer here is yes: Induruwa's beach is sheltered by a coastal reef, and the sea at Joe's Resort Bentota is safe.
This is a boutique resort of the small Joe's collection in the very centre of a fishing village. The format is intimate: traditional architecture, contemporary design, colonial-style rooms and views of the ocean and white sand.
A practical tip on rooms: the renovation added refreshed rooms — spacious, with a bedroom, a lounge area and a shower. Those are the ones to book.
Entertainment on site: a pool, water skiing, diving, windsurfing, quad biking and outings to the local sights. The village around you is a bonus for the curious: coastal life here is no stage set.
Suits families and travellers who value atmosphere and safe swimming over a large gated territory.
