The hype
Families love the massive pools and buffet variety, while couples appreciate the seclusion of the Deluxe Wing.
Cinnamon Bey Beruwala
$100-220/ nuit
Réservez si You want a massive, full-service beach resort with a dedicated 'quiet zone' for couples and endless buffet options for families.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- The 'Deluxe Wing' offers a private pool and bar away from the chaotic main areas
- Six different dining venues, including a cook-your-own-meal rock salt restaurant
- Direct access to a swimmable (but rough) beach and massive main pool complex
En bref : A sprawling Turkish-themed fortress that nails the 'big resort' vibe but struggles with humidity-dampened rooms and occasionally salty tap water.
Évalué par @Sanchyy993: I spent my whole afternoon drifting between the lush gardens and that massive blue pool. It’s the perfect spot to just disconnect and soak up the Sri Lankan sun. Honestly, I didn't want to leave this paradise.

Reality check
The humidity is a battle here — sheets often feel damp, and rooms can smell musty if the AC isn't blasted constantly.
- You are traveling with a multi-generational family and need diverse food options
- You are a couple willing to pay extra for the Deluxe Wing's privacy
- You want a resort where you never have to leave the property to be entertained
Propreté et entretien
8
- Housekeeping: Daily and generally thorough, though they sometimes miss sand on the balcony.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean visually, but the saline water leaves residue on fixtures. Grout is usually white but watch for corners.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling paint on exterior walls and some 'tired' furniture in Superior rooms.
- Linens & towels: Clean but can feel 'heavy' or damp due to the high humidity.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh (lemongrass), but rooms can smell musty if closed up too long.

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is the beach swimmable?
Often no. The currents are strong and red flags are frequently up. There is a natural reef area that is safer, but most guests stick to the pools.
What is the difference between Superior and Deluxe rooms?
Huge difference. Deluxe rooms are in a separate wing with their own private pool, bar, and restaurant access. Superior rooms are in the main, busier block.
Is the tap water safe?
It is treated, but many guests report it tastes salty/brackish. Use bottled water for drinking and brushing teeth.
How far is it from the airport?
About 1.5 to 2 hours via the Southern Expressway (E01).
Is there a mandatory transfer fee?
Some third-party booking sites (Agoda/Expedia) sometimes attach a 'mandatory' $80 transfer fee. Check your booking details carefully; direct bookings usually don't have this.
Is it good for families?
Yes, excellent. There is a dedicated kids' pool, an ice cream shop (ICE), and large lawns for running around.
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Rock Salt' restaurant allows you to cook your own seafood on hot stones — it's the best dining experience on-site.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes down the beach to find local boat operators for a river safari at half the hotel's price.
- ✨
Ask for a 'high floor' room even in the Deluxe wing to catch the best sunset views and avoid mosquitoes.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
