Taj Bentota Resort & Spa, Sri Lanka

A Mixed Bag of Luxury and Warmth at Taj Sri Lanka I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Taj Bentota Sri Lanka, and I must say, the experience was a mixed bag. While the rooms are in dire need of renovation (a minor setback in an otherwise grand setup), the scenic views from our room were simply breathtaking. The vistas of the Indian Ocean were awe-inspiring, and we found ourselves mesmerized by the beauty of the surroundings. However, what truly made our stay exceptional was the warm hospitality of the staff, particularly our Indian chef, Dilip. He was an absolute delight, treating us like family and going above and beyond to ensure our culinary experience was nothing short of exceptional. His warmth and dedication to his craft were evident in every dish he prepared. The management's commitment to providing a luxurious experience was evident in the attention to detail and the effort they put into making our stay memorable. From the impeccable service to the stunning views, everything came together to create a truly unforgettable experience. The breathtaking views, warm hospitality, and exceptional service made our stay at the Taj Sri Lanka truly special. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious getaway. Special mention to Chef Dilip for making our stay truly unforgettable! Taj lived upto the name of TATA and again won our heart.

We had our wedding celebrations at Taj Bentota Resort & Spa, Sri Lanka in July 2025, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the beautiful venue setup to the delicious food, warm hospitality, and exceptional attention to detail — everything exceeded our expectations. The entire team went above and beyond to make our special days perfect. A special thanks to Ms. Rochelle (Sales Manager) and Mr. Mahinda (Duty Manager) for their constant support and coordination. Also, heartfelt appreciation to the Head Chef and the Kitchen Team for the amazing food, and the Housekeeping Staff for keeping everything spotless with such care. Thank you, Team Taj Bentota, for making our wedding so memorable. Truly world-class service with a personal touch — we can’t wait to be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The overall experience was wonderful — the property is beautiful, and our room with the ocean view was simply amazing. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained.||The service throughout our stay was excellent. A special mention goes to Chandimal, the room boy, who was always friendly, attentive, and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Also, Asiri at the breakfast service truly stood out with his warm hospitality and professionalism — he made our mornings extra pleasant.||We genuinely liked the hotel and would happily come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing stay with great views and outstanding service.

My husband and I recently stayed at Taj Bentota Resort & Spa in Sri Lanka, and it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the excellent hospitality and the attentive care provided by all the staff. Being pregnant, I received extra attention, and everyone went out of their way to ensure my comfort, which I deeply appreciated. A special mention to Chef Jasver Singh , who personally came to me and offered to prepare anything I liked, despite the wide variety already available in the buffet. He even prepared special dishes just for me—a truly thoughtful gesture. The food overall was delicious, with an impressive variety and live cooking stations that made each meal enjoyable. The staff’s warm behavior and attention to detail made our stay very memorable. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway. We had such a fantastic experience that we will definitely be returning!

I am glad I chose Taj bentota to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. The overall experience has been great, right from checkin to food to room service. What makes the hotel amazing is it's fabulous staff, always smiling and ensuring our comfort and convenience. Chef Jasvir Singh prepared and presented very tasty dishes for our family both Indian and Sri Lankan. The restaurant staff Ravindra and Dilma and others very extremely helpful and warm. Thanks to each and every member of the hotel for a memorable stay.

A truly beautiful hotel right by the beach. The staff were amazing, everyone was warm and friendly giving a 5 star experience. We ate in all the restaurants and the food was superb, always hot, tasty and great quality. They took food allergies seriously too. If you are looking for a hotel to relax in, i would highly recommend the Taj Bentota

We spent two wonderful weeks at this hotel and cannot speak highly enough about our experience, especially about the service. From the very first day until the last, we felt warmly welcomed and incredibly well taken care of. The level of service was outstanding – every staff member went out of their way to ensure that we had the perfect holiday. A very special thank you goes to Janaka from the gym, whose friendliness and professionalism made every workout a pleasure. Our room boy Chandimal was simply amazing – always attentive, polite, and making sure our room was spotless and comfortable. At the pool, Kannangara and Disanayaka were absolutely fantastic – always ready with a smile, helpful, and making sure we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time. And also the entire breakfast and dinner team did an absolutely great job! It is this kind of genuine warmth and care that makes a stay truly unforgettable. We left with beautiful memories and the feeling of having been part of a big family! We are looking forward to coming back!

Great location, with views over the beach and direct access to the beach. Excellent food quality and options at all meals, in particular the chinese restaurant was our favourite. Breakfast and dinner service made extra special by Gihani and Ravindra making us very welcome and ensuring the kids were always happy with the food. A hotel dress code would be appreciated to avoid guests wearing pyjamas to the dining hall as this really not what you expect at a 5 star hotel. Clearer signage and queuing ettiqute at the breakfast buffet would also keep the service running smoother for all guests. The hotel was under renovation during our stay, some parts were not accessible, hopefully these renovations bring the rooms and other areas of the hotel up-to date. Our room was very large for a family room although in need of updating, especially the bathroom. All requests and reservation queries dealth with very well by the front desk by Nilusha anf by our room porter Chamith. Pool and gym aread very nice and clean, good pool activities by the resident gym instructor. Overall a grrat stay and location, can only imagine it will be better when the reservations are complete.
