This place was perfect. Didn’t feel like a hotel but like being a guest in a private home with amazing service and outstanding food. Everything about this gorgeous little hotel was perfect or better!!
A phenomenal hotel with great rooms and even better staff.
Food was brilliant, pool was great and there’s a small but very well equipped gym.
Wish I’d stayed longer.
Wonderful location next to the beach. Superb facilities and excellent staff. From the moment we arrived and throughout our stay we were looked after so well by the very helpful staff. Rooms were beautifully designed and cleanliness 10 out of 10. Food superb. Cannot thank all the staff enough for making our stay so special. Absolutely recommend Taru Villa Bentota. 🙏🙏
We stayed 4-nights in a beach view room on the first floor. Room was a good size and well appointed with large patio area for relaxing.
The property had lots of relaxing lounges including library and a small gym. The pool had sun loungers that could be transferred to the beach if preferred. Pool was lovely and refreshing after walks along the beach.
Direct access to the beach, across the local railway line (local train passes around once an hour - this didn’t impact our stay at The Long House).
Walk into Bentota via the beach was about 20-minutes or 5-minutes in a Tuk Tuk.
The staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We loved our stay.
Wonderful modern boutique hotel in an excellent location by the beach. Fantastic restaurant by a beautiful, family friendly pool. Clean, spacious rooms. Wonderful friendly service. Highly recommended!
