The hotel was great!”

Very friendly and helpful service. The rooms are clean and cozy with ocean view. The pool was amazing, quite a long pool for a hotel and very enjoyable. Food was nice but if you want you can find nice restaurants in front of the hotel. I would say it was a perfect stay here.

Nice hotel ”

We stayed here for 2 nights before heading to Unawatuna and it was perfect for a stop over. The hotel is nice and the rooms are spacious. The pool is refreshing and a nice place to relax, but the highlight of the hotel is definitely the fact it’s smack bang on the beach. We spend our days chilling by the pool and then just wandering up and down the beach which was amazing.

Slice of heaven ”

It was love at first sight staying in this hotel! We were welcomed with a nice cold welcome drink, they shower us around a bit as we were early for our check in. Our room was sea view and it was right outside the swimming pool. The food was amazing so was their room, ambience and hospitality. My favorite part was how I could jump into the pool as soon as I got out of my room. BEST HOTEL EVER! COULD STAY HERE FOREVER. ( ALL WATER ACITIVITES ARE RIGHT BY THE BEACH TO OUR HOTEL WHICH MADE EVERYTHING SO MUCH EASIER)

My week @ Ekho Surf”

I said at Ekho Surf two weeks after Sri-Lanka closed it's borders to tourists because of Corona Virus. (I'd been touring the country for the 3 weeks previous.. My stay was very good value for money because prices had dropped significantly due to lack of new tourists and many cancellations. I'm not sure what the normal price would have been. Staff were very attentive and the room was spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast buffet but al a carte venue in the evening very disappointing Two great swimming pools and access direct onto the beach. Great place to chill out and to enjoy the sunshine

Beautiful Beach”

Ecko Surf has an outstanding stretch of pristine beach. You can’t get a better spot to enjoy the Sri Lankan sun and waves. Rooms are large and modern with a large king bed. The only complaint would be the buffet - both breakfast and dinner. It is pricy for what you get and does not have the best breads/jams/cereals

You don't find many hotels in Bentotat that are right on the beach in a relatively affordable budget. The hotel is well maintained even if not the most modern one. The staff is very welcoming, the food is good, the pools are well maintained. I wished the jacuzzi we see on the photos was still there but it's not, still haven't find a jacuzzi in Sri Lanka yet... Anyhow, it was a lovely stay!
