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 .

Отель известный, немного уже не новый но территория и в целом атмосфера нормальные. Соотношение цена качество разумное. Отличный ресторан с видом на океан и очень странный ресторан где проходит завтрак ужин (отзывы на картах Google) это подтверждают. Пляж немного грязный, но это проблема не отеля а в целом местного населения.

This place is Devine. We stayed for 11 nights March 2025, we absolutely loved our stay. The rooms are great and the bed was the most comfortable bed we ever slept in. What makes this place is the staff, they cannot do enough for you. Our room boy Gayan was incredible and created amazing towel designs every day ensuring our room was spotless. We paid for B&B basis, and again the service at breakfast was amazing, special mention to Sam who served us and couldn’t have been kinder. The food at breakfast was good with plenty of choice and the fresh fruits were superb. We had a couple of evening meals at the restaurant by the pool which were also delicious. The location to the beach and some local restaurants is superb. The beach is incredible with some lovely locals offering sunbeds at really good prices. If you head down the stairs next to the shack bar, you will find Jimi who rents sunbeds and will really look after you and is fair and helpful when it comes to day trips etc. He watched our bags when we went into the sea and watched us in the sea as the rips and currents can be strong. The people of Sri Lanka really make the place as they cannot do enough for you and I highly recommend this place - we loved our stay. The one slight negative was that sunbeds around the pool can be difficult to get with people getting up really early and placing towels/books on them to save them, then not turning up til midday! However, get down to the beach as it’s amazing and the sea is like a warm bath with really shallow clear waters.

We (a party of two adult couples) spent 6 days in the hotel during April 2025. Every single staff member was extremely attentive to ensure that we were well looked after and had the best time possible. This started with the bugler welcoming us at the front door, through all front of house staff in reception, dining and bars and also including the pool guys and the entertainment team. We were on a half board basis so we enjoyed breakfasts and evening meals. The choice of vegetarian curries was exceptional alongside all other food options available. The hotel grounds were beautiful and well looked after, with ready (but controlled) access to/from two deserted sandy beaches. The wildlife in the hotel grounds were very engaging (i.e. chipmunks, exotic birds, water monitors, etc.). The pool was very warm and the sun-beds were plentiful and well spaced out. The gym was relatively small, but during conversations we were advised that the current gym is temporary, whilst the main gym is being upgraded. Whilst the rooms were satisfactory and spacious, we were also advised that these will be refurbished quite soon, alongside the main restaurant. We'd love to return!

This is not normal for me to write a review before I have even finished our holiday But on Day 4 we both feel that we need to say a massive thanks to the staff team and being made to feel so welcome! Mancha chef, Asirl, Bimal and Sam especially We have another 10 days to go but the Taj Bentota is 10/10 for staff, food and general wellness Andrew and Lorna Room 406

5 out of 5 Staff are very very friendly and helpful especially Sam weerasekara in The Palms restaurant. Sam was excellent very thoughtful and attentive. I rate his service higher and if you get a chance to be serviced by him you will be very very happy.
