There's not a soul on the beach here in August. Heaven.

August is a time of strong waves in Bentota. My husband and I have managed to swim, but apart from us, we've only seen swimming in Bentota itself, and Villa Susi is a 10-minute bus ride from Bentota. It's kind of suburban. So - the owner met us in the street when we, tired, with suitcases, were shaving on the way from Induruwa station , since we arrived by train. We lived at Sussie's for five days - and it was very good. Because you're "out of season" in August - we were alone, no one else in the guesthouse or on the beach. Beach from the villa 30 seconds walk . for breakfast - chic plate with fruit, tea, coffee, pastries! For dinner - we bought a kilo of shrimp and asked Sussie to cook it for us two nights in a row... It was delicious. The room is a bit dark and needs repair. Be sure to close the door to the toilet so that insects do not run in, although there is a mosquito net over the bed, spread it and everything will be okay. Anyway - we liked everything, even a little tired room. But the main thing is the ocean - it's gorgeous here. (but in August waves) approach to the ocean - through the jungle..

Service was beyond compared. Nothing too much for Susee..what a gentleman.
