Reviews and Ratings
Overall, my stay at Taj Bentota was truly memorable, thanks to its stunning location, friendly staff, and excellent dining options. The rooms, however, could use some renovation to meet the high standards set by the Taj brand. The beach and pool facilities were fabulous, making for a great family vacation. While the service was mostly outstanding, there were a few minor hiccups that detracted from the experience.
My stay at Taj Bentota was a memorable experience filled with both delightful moments and a few hiccups. The room we received was spacious and had a breathtaking view, making it a joy to relax there. However, I found the breakfast service to be somewhat chaotic and the room service could be improved. Overall, the hospitality from certain staff members shone, especially in accommodating my family's needs.
This hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of comfort and service. The stunning sea view from our room was a highlight, and I really appreciated the attentive staff. However, the dining options were somewhat limited and could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a relaxing spot perfect for a holiday getaway, just a bit lacking in dining diversity.
During our stay in October, we found the hotel had a fantastic beach location and beautiful facilities. However, the room quality and service left a lot to be desired compared to what we expected from a premium brand. The dining experience was inconsistent, and we felt it didn’t cater well to families with young children, which was disappointing for us.
Our stay had its ups and downs. The location is stunning, right by a beautiful beach, and the gardens are well-kept. While the rooms looked nice, they were somewhat poorly maintained and lacked the sea view we were promised. Dining options were mixed; the buffet was underwhelming, but we found a fantastic restaurant on-site that saved the experience. Overall, we enjoyed the beach and the facilities, but the room issues really took away from our vacation.
The hotel is a delightful spot on the west coast of Sri Lanka, boasting exceptional service from eager and helpful staff. The views from higher floors are magnificent, and the variety of dining options is impressive. However, the rooms need maintenance, especially those on lower floors that experience humidity due to AC issues. Also, some facilities, like the gym, could use an upgrade. Overall, it's a good value but requires some improvements.
I had an amazing experience at this hotel! The staff consistently went out of their way to ensure our comfort and the atmosphere was truly peaceful. The beachfront location was perfect for relaxing, though we found more secluded spots in the garden. The food was excellent with plenty of choice, and the prices for local tuk-tuks were incredibly cheap. Despite being a little far from town, it was an easy walk or a short tuk-tuk ride away. Overall, it felt like incredible value for money.
I had an exceptional stay at Taj Bentota Resort, where the beautiful beachfront location was truly idyllic. The staff went above and beyond to make my honeymoon special, particularly with their warm hospitality and fantastic dining options. While our room boasted a lovely sea view, the bathroom could benefit from an update. Overall, the experience was mostly positive with some minor room for improvement.
Our stay at Taj Bentota was a mix of highs and lows. The hotel has a beautiful beach location and stunning views, especially from the room. The staff made us feel special, and the food was generally very good. However, there were significant issues with cleanliness and maintenance that made our stay less enjoyable. Dining options were a bit pricier than expected, which dampened the experience somewhat.
I had an amazing experience at this hotel, where the service was exceptional and the hospitality truly reflects Sri Lankan warmth. The food, especially the seafood, was delightful, and the staff went out of their way to cater to our preferences. The beach was beautiful, and the overall atmosphere was idyllic. However, I wish there were a wider variety of breakfast options available every day.
