Taj Bentota Resort & Spa

As we know it’s name suggests itself the taj resort , Kids really enjoy a lots & made fun out it , foods was delicious .

This is a beautiful hotel and resort. All staff are helpful and engaging. We celebrated my wife’s birthday with superb seafood at The Shack. We leave with many wonderful memories that we’ll always treasure. If I have a tiny helpful hint, the background music in The Palms restaurant can be a little much.

Taj Bentota We had a seven night stay here at the end of a 9 night tour of Sri Lanka. We received a traditional welcome from a guy playing a Conch horn which was a lovely surprise! The lobby is beautiful and we loved our room overlooking the sea. Big thanks to the Duty Manager Krishan Jayamanna for looking after us so well. The views of the beach below from the 4th floor pool area are one of the best we have seen from an hotel. The main thing that stands out at this hotel is the friendliness of all the staff we encountered. Nothing is too much trouble and it’s always done with a smile. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and evening meals as we were on half board and there was always plenty of choice. My husband was delighted when he asked if he could have a particular curry and one of the chefs, Jasvir Singh made it for him in 10 minutes! Excellent service. Most mornings, a young man called Pabasara looked after our table and knew what drinks we would like before we did! I loved coming back from the pool in the afternoon to find our room was beautifully clean and tidy with a brilliant towel animal! Our room attendant was a wonderful young man called Randika & I joked I would like to take him home with me! There are very few bad points at this hotel. I would suggest that their marketing needs looking at. It was hard to find any information about the restaurants and spa? We were given QR codes on arrival which didn’t work and I believe that placing a few advertising leaflets in the room regarding the services would have meant we might have found things going on in the hotel at the beginning and not at the end! I am on day 7 of my holiday and I still have not found the spa or a price list? I would recommend this hotel to anyone and the hotel manager was always walking around and made himself accessible which is always great to see. Thank you Taj Bentota and fantastic staff.

We stayed at this beautiful property for almost 6 days. Taj never ceases to amaze us with the wonderful hospitality. We mostly ate our dinner at SHACK which is a seafood restaurant and the food was simply delicious. The staff was so friendly and welcoming that we were truly impressed. A special note of thanks to the wonderful team - Chef Piyush, Dinusha, Tharupathi, Amila, Roshan, Chinthaka and Lakshman. Thanks for all the pampering and thanks for making us feel so special. It was so nice chatting up with Dinusha, Tharupathi and Amila. You guys rock! And keep up the great work. Also Thank you Chef Piyush for specially curating a wonderful meal for us. The food was so yummy. And thank you Dinusha for arranging a beautiful lunch at the main restaurant. I would also like to thank Chandimal for the amazing housekeeping service. You are truly talented. Overall experience Food - 10/10 Stay - 10/10 Ambience - 10/10 Thank you so much and see you again

Great family friendly spot with easy access to a great beach. Nice pools, and a great seafood restaurant called the Shack. The rooms could use some refreshing, but are comfortable overall. Also the main restaurant experience is good for the most part, but when it gets crowded it gets chaotic. If they can come up with a better organizational system for heavy traffic periods, the restaurant experience would be better. Overall, good experience

It was first stay at Taj with family and everyone loved every minute of it. Property is massive and very well maintained. Food was tasty and with good spread. Smile on the all staff faces made the difference. Hospitality makes all the difference.

During the recent stay, would like to mention a warm interaction with GM Sibi and kind gesture of Head Chef Piyush to arrange "Gajar Ka Halwa" at a short notice. Overall experience with staff remains quite encouraging and could recall few names like Jasweer and Dhanuka from F&B.

A wonderful hotel on the beach - with 5 staff facilities. We arrived after a tour of Sri Lanka to relax for a few days and we did! We had a great room and all the staff especially Jenedra who kept our room clean were wonderful- as was the food and hotel itself from arrival to leaving we were spoilt and would recommend. Everyone was helpful and helped make the end of the holiday memorable- I would recommend to anyone.
