    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    Right by the beach, the Taj Bentota Resort & Spa combines colonial glamour with 21st-century luxury.

    This luxury hotel exudes colonial elegance. The lobby is all marble floors and wooden ceilings, while the bedrooms feature carved headboards and Portuguese artwork.

    The whole place looks out over the beach, which is dotted with palms and lapped by the Indian Ocean. The gardens here are massive, which means it’s always easy to find a quiet spot to relax under a palm tree.

    While you're away, you'll have access to our 24-hour digital service, with a virtual rep.

    That view of sea is something
    11 May , 2020 Chanakauw, 304136
    This place is not far away from our homes. They had an offer so we took it and went there. It was an overnight stay. The beaches and sea around the area are very familiar to us. However, the view of the sea from the swimming pool areas of TAJ is something, it was eyecatching and spectacular. The beach around the area is pretty wide too. We stayed in a deluxe room, it was spacy; bathroom was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the nice swimming pool although it didn't have a deep-end. The food was fine, Indian stylish mainly. Overall it was a nice stay and worth the money
    Great holiday before the shut down

    We were lucky to finish our holiday before everything changed and arrived home on the 16th March we had a great time at this lovely hotel and was well looked after by all staff from checking in we arrived very early so went into breakfast whilst waiting for our room to be ready and what a lovely surprise great room with the most amazing view perfect things just got better from then on food great pool and pool staff very good but an extra special mention to our room boy Nilaj (I think that is right)if not we was in room 628 he did and excellent job room cleaned every day and always a different towel art on the bed nothing was too much trouble and he also knew all his customers by name. Also a big mention to the Executive Chef Neera Chaudhry who went over and above his job to help our son out when he had to return back home early due to borders closing. All in all a great holiday all round and will definitely return when things are back to normal.
    Hotel coped well with lock down
    13 Apr , 2020 crowsnose, 186338
    We arrived from the UK on the very day (15 March) that Sri Lanka closed its borders. After a difficult 3 hours while our luggage entered the country to circulate on a carousel but we were told that our visas had been automatically cancelled, practicality or sanity prevailed and we eventually arrived at the hotel at 9pm. Fortunately for us the Palms restaurant was still going and we were well fed. As the week progressed lock down began across the country but the hotel battled on with diligence and good nature. A good holiday became a surreal one but we cannot thank the staff enough for their efforts. We will return in happier times to what is a great resort and a great location.

    Corona Virus Stay
    26 Mar , 2020 17fionae
    We have just returned home after staying 5 nights at this beautiful holiday through one of the toughest times for the hospitality industry. Although the pool was closed and the range of the facilities was greatly reduced we still had a good time. The professional way the staff conducted themselves was exceptional choosing to stay and look after the guests during the curfew rather than staying with their families. The chefs prepared a vast selection of food every evening catering for the reduced number of guests. They were obviously very proud of their food and quite rightly as the food was great. The pool side staff and waiting staff continued to friendly throughout although my husband asked every day if the pool was opening. The beach was spotless and the sea was warm as we jumped like children through the waves. Please everyone visit Sri Lanka once the current situation is resolved you will not be disappointed.

    Stayed at Taj Bentota Resort and Spa an excellent and beatiful resort with excellent beach and view of the Indian Ocean. Jiva Spa was excellent and so was the palm restaurant. Pool was also very clean. Rooms though being quite old but was elegantly furnished. We had a interconnecting room which was perfect for a family outing.
