Lovely property with wonderful staff. Nelson (owner) helped us with transportation to and from the property which was much appreciated. We had dinner two out of three nights while there and he is a great cook and serves huge portions. Beach is beautiful and quite calm relatively speaking. Beach beds are available to hotel guests right on the beach.

This is most definitely one of the best places in Sri-Lanka. The host Nilan was very helpful. He drove us around in his car and showed many beautiful places. The room was clean, with good air conditioner and a fully equipped kitchen. Hotel territory is well cared for and offers a view on the lake. Boat tours and beautiful lake sunsets are very special and will be a nice bonus to your stay. We felt like home with the host family. They even cooked traditional Sri-Lankan food for us! Nilan knows the island very well and can drive you to a tea factory, moonstone mine, turtle rescue center and other places. If you ever in Sri-Lanka - don't miss out, stay at Sun Kiss Lagoon Hotel. You will not be disappointed.

    Lovely room hosted by a lovely family. The room is spacious and comfotable with a quiet a/c. When I first arrived, the wifi wasn't working that well, I mentioned it to the host, and he called Digitel and fixed it in 5 minutes! Then there was a huge storm and the electricity went out, and they were in my room in no time turning on the fuses. No problem was too big for this family! I also loved my breakfasts here-- I have all kinds of food issues-- low carb, no gluten, and the dad happily created healthy and delicious breakfasts for me!

    I had a lovely new year celebrating in janus paradise rest. Janus was a great host, the location fab. I didn't venture away from the hotel for my 4 days. The rooms were comfortable, the prices fair, staff pleasant and food nice. I shared some good company and fab sunsets. Which was pretty much what I was looking for. The pool was pleasant in the Sri lankan heat. The ocean in Bentota is rough, not easy for casual swimming, but refreshing, and the beach clean and quiet. Thanks Janus

    What a wonderful place. We felt so welcome. The room was lovely and clean, and we had a quite large outdoor private area. The host is very friendly and serviceminded. She recommend the best restaurants and made good deals for us for tours and transport. The guesthouse is in a quiet area not far from the most wonderful beach you could imagine. You just have to go down the road, cross the railway at the station and go through the park....We highly recommend a stay and would gladly return of we came to the area again

    It was very friendly and quiet place near from beautiful beach with very kind host who makes a great beakfast (a lot of fresh fruits and every day different food). The room was small but sufficient. The hosts picked up at the airport and during our stay, when we needed, they drove us in the tuk tuk somewhere. There was family atmosphere, we felt there like at home. I definitelly recommend this accomodation.
