Honest review
a hotel with its own spa and picturesque ocean views from the rooms, located in southwestern Sri Lanka right on one of the island's best beaches — Bentota.
Compared with many other hotels on Sri Lanka's southwest and south coasts, Ekho Surf sits fairly close to the airport. That means a quicker transfer, with no grueling bus or car ride after your flight — especially welcome for families with small children.
The hotel is also a very convenient base for excursions to different parts of the island, so guests of Ekho Surf have a wide choice of activities and outings: from tours of Buddhist temples to thrilling safaris in the national parks.
Incidentally, there is more good news for fans of exotic wildlife: around the hotel you can encounter monitor lizards, chipmunks, herons and other birds. It will fascinate adults as much as children.
But of course, one of the hotel's main advantages is its beachfront position. It is a real find for those looking for a "step out of your room and onto the sand" kind of hotel.
Some ground-floor rooms open directly onto the lawn that separates the hotel building, with all its facilities, from the beach.
