  • Are you looking for a proper guide on Bentota and Bentota Beach that doesn't just feature 90% of the Taj hotel? This is what you are looking for!
    Bentota is on the West coast of Sri Lanka and was one of our favourite resorts purely for the quiet and chilled out vibe. If you are looking to party then this place is not for you. It is more suited to families and those wanting a more relaxed pace in Sri Lanka. Bentota Beach is also very famous and clean.
    If you have the following questions then you are in the right place!
    What to do in Bentota?
    Is Bentota worth visiting?
    Where to stay in Bentota
    Where to eat in Bentota
    Is the river safari tour worth it?
    We cover these questions and more in an honest and genuine guide to help you plan your trip.

    I think this is probably your best vlog yet! You covered lots of interesting things as usual but the boat trip looked amazing, all the different wildlife. Keep it up and happy, safe travels guys.

    This is an amazing Sri Lankan travel experience video. 👌😍. Thank you so much for coming to Sri Lanka and showing the beauty to the whole world. There are many scenic natural places in sri lanka .There are different nationalities and their culture is different from one to another. So I think you have gathered more unforgettable experiences from Sri Lanka. 🤘
    However, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to Sri Lanka and showcasing the beauty of my motherland to the world.. ❤️❤️🌿

      Hey there! It is our pleasure. We covered more last year but thought we could do better this time, and Bentota deserves it. Sri Lanka is a wonderful mix of traditional culture to touristic beach life and it's important both sides are shown. Things have improved for SL a lot in a year since we last came and we really hope that a new government will help the country recover and be strong again. Sent with love from us to you! John & Becky x ♥️🇱🇰

    Hi guys, well as you were saying it in the vlog Becky, I was looking at that beach and area thinking, WOW this is the best I have seen of your adventure ❤ The food as always looks delicious, and really reasonably priced. I am definitely up for the Scotch Bonnet 🌶️ love a bit of spice 👍🏽 I really loved the boat trip and the train track right alongside the Main Street was really intriguing. Here’s to the next one ❤

    • @ParksTravelGuide

      Ey up Kezzzaaa! Bentota is probably our new favourite resort in Sri Lanka. Much cleaner and nicer than our previous favourite Mirissa and it actually has police in resort. It's not a party place by any means but I think we are getting old before our time. Now we've been in India nearly a week the spice level has been turned up a notch though! 🌶️🌶️

      I certainly will. We are doing a lot of travelling around Kandy, Ella and Yala so we left plenty of time for relaxing at Bentota. Just a final chill out before we head home.

    Is there any restriction for flying drone in Bentota?

    • @ParksTravelGuide
      @ParksTravelGuide  Рік тому +1

      We asked the locals about it and nobody knew or was bothered that we were flying it to get some footage. Some people hadn't seen a drone before so they were more curious than anything else.

    • @DesiTravelExplorers
      @DesiTravelExplorers Рік тому +1

      @ParksTravelGuide Thank-You. Another question - Did you have to take specific drone approval at airport? Based on other reviews, they advice not to take drone for Sri lanka travel - what was your experience?

    • @ParksTravelGuide
      @ParksTravelGuide  Рік тому +1

      @DesiTravelExplorers we never fly ours anywhere near an airport, plus it's a DJI so it has zone blocking and won't take off unless we apply for a licence on the DJI app and declare everything. It's just not worth the time for a few seconds of a clip. Some places you can't use your drone (like Kandy for example) and some you can get away with it. If we're in doubt we don't use it. A lot of countries are cracking down on drone use so ours is pretty much not worth the hassle anymore. The Philippines have strict rules too and you need to apply for a licence. In Egypt they confiscate it at customs until you depart as you're basically accused of being a spy. It's definitely getting harder!

      Hey Tomas. We had no issues and saw no stray dogs in Bentota. The only thing we had to be careful of were the Rickshaw drivers who tried to overcharge tourists massively.

      If you're travelling around the country then we feel 4 nights is about right. There's not a lot to do and the resort is pretty chilled. We stayed either 4 or 5 nights, it was a while ago so difficult to remember 🙂

      @susantriance5219 When we first went Unawatuna was the main Russian resort. Now the Russians have taken Mirissa and Hikka too. We wouldn't go back again but if you can see past that then fair play. Just watch out for the tuktuk drivers in Mirissa as they are a law unto themselves with the extortionate prices they charge.
