Hotel Reviews

"The first impressionsof the Taj were very pleasant and the staff were more than happy to tend to your every need. Our room was clean and spacious. We had upgraded to the deluxe room which gave us a seating and dressing area along with a fab view. We also booked all inclusive as we had read on this site how... "
"We've just come back from the Taj and it was a great holiday. Once we arrived we were given complimentary drinks and a free room upgrade so we had a suite. That meant we had a large balcony and separate lounge as well as a huge bed. Resturants in the Taj: Generally very good-especially the Oriental. Don't believe what people... "
"Lovely clean hotel staff very friendly. Only complaint that the beaches around the hotel with litter. Mensioned in our report so by the time you go may of been sorted. Two complimentry bottles of water each day plenty of tea coffee etc. Extra pool towels if needed. I had a birthday while out there and the cleaner did an arrangement on... "
"We stayed at the Taj between 18 - 26 June 09 on a bed and breakfast basis the hotel is situated in large grounds which lead directly onto the beach. This is monsoon season so it rains for about 1 hour per day and boy does it rain.The majority of rooms have at least a partial sea view. Our room... "
"We stayed at Taj from 6/18-22. We booked the Orchid room at 6th floor with a great view of garden and beach. The staff was excellent and courteous. However the room is somewhat old and I will give it only a 4 stars. Some additional information: 1.Transportation: We took recommendation from Hans and contacted Sena (dinesh@sltnet.lk) in advance for the... "
"Having read lots of reviews on TA it seems to me that a holiday is what you make it and you have to take account of what is normal locally and not expect everything to be as it is at home - otherwise why travel in the first place. Having said that the Taj was great. The public areas were... "
"Stayed 11th - 19th June 2009. Had a private transfer from the airport which 2.5 hours. This was arranged through TC as part of the package. Car was air conditioned and the driver knowledgeable and courteous. As the airport is in Negombo it takes a while due to the traffic in Columbo itself. Drivers are a little mad to say... "
"We travelled to Bentota on the 2nd of June 2009 for 10 days. The hotel was very grand when we arrived and we were very expectant. The lobby and longing areas and in fact all the outside areas of the hotel are immaculate and very impressive. We were shown to our room (308) which had a sea view and balcony... "
"Although there are good number of hotels on Bentota Beach which is only 60 Kilometers away from the main town Colombo. But me and my family would rate Taj Bentota as one of the finest property in south east Asia. We have been there three times and my son again wants to be there in his next holiday sometime. more "
"If you were coming to lie by the pool enjoying a view of the ocean and munching in the poolside restaurant then this place would suit you down to the ground. For me it was quite constrictive because it is not possible to walk outside the hotel compound without being continually hassled. The most effective line was my husband saying... "
