Beautiful location with access to semi private beach. Spacious and clean rooms. All the facilities and service was top notoch. Gave a complimentary Eggless cake in room for bday celebration. We had food restrictions no onion no garlic and the Chef Daleep accomodated it so beautifully and exceptional servive. Paradise even for vegetarians.

We had visited Taj bentota property on the 23rd of July 2025. It was sons 1st birthday and his 1st international trip and it was the best decision we made. Starting from reaching the property everything was well taken care of. Just amazing hospitality. The staff the rooms everthing was top notch. Travelling with a 1 year kid the only challenge we thought we would face was his food. But guess what Chef Dilip Sigh was our saviour. We were stating there for 2 nights and from the very 1st dinner we had there till the last breakfast we had there he was our go to person. He understood what our kid eats and customised my sons meals or even curated new ones off menu just for him and he loved it all. Even for us he made dishes and we loved it too. He even way out of way and planned a lovely dinner for us which was amazing too. Any new parents planning to go to Taj bentota should be carefree and the staff is great and Chef dilip for food.

We stayed for 5days in Taj Bentota in dec 25, we saw many of the guest receiving welcome drinks but they missed us somehow. They put in large older room when my wife complained they showed a redone room which was small. The restaurant was getting redone so the food was being served in a makeshift tent which I fond uncomfortable.The area around the pool was being redone too. What were a miss in the hotel was mostly made up with warm hospitality of the people both in the hotel and outside.The have a nice semi-private beach with surfing area. In general the holiday was wonderful.

We had a beautiful stay. Best place and food ever. We were given a room with sea view and we had brilliant stay. Food was extremely good with so much variation from western to eastern and authentic SriLankan cuisine. Very yummy breakfast and dinner.

We group of 3 couple had the pleasure of staying at Taj Bentota, Sri Lanka for two days during our visit on 17/18 December 2025, and I would especially like to appreciate Mr. Jasvir Singh, Chef, for his hospitality. Mr. Jasvir truly made us feel at home from the very beginning. He took personal care to ensure that we were served exactly the dishes we wished to eat and went out of his way to customise the food according to our preferences. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine concern for guest satisfaction made our dining experience truly memorable. Such personalised service reflects the high standards of the Taj brand. Mr. Jasvir Singh efforts added a special touch to our stay. We will always remember his kindness and dedication. Maninder Singh

Went for dinner and The Palm for two nights in a row and had a lovely experience. Mr. Ravinder welcomed us warmly and was very friendly, especially towards our child. His hospitality made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend the place. Would love to stay there the next time.

We had great expectations from the hotel. But didn’t have a good experience. Check in time is 3 pm. We waited while having lunch. At 3.30 we were told that the previous guest hasn’t vacated the room yet. Is that my problem? Never had this unprofessional behaviour from Taj. We waited by the pool without getting a chance to freshen up. But it was prepaid room so couldn’t really do anything. Actually we had come from Radisson Collection Hotel Galle, which was too good. Radisson people were so nice with personal touch. Taj was just the opposite. We felt disappointed because we have been to so many Taj resorts in India with excellent hospitality. At Taj Bentota people were least bothered about us. Will never visit Taj Bentota again, spoilt my holiday ending.

Great overall experience. Gym was surprisingly good for a hotel and staff was extremely helpful (Especially Maneka and other gym employees).

Great experience at Taj bentota, bowled over by the hospitality, especially the front office executives - Ms Nilusha and Ms Nirukshika They were brilliant, upgraded us without asking, words fail to appreciate whatever they did for us. This review would be incomplete without mentioning the Star chef Mr Dalip Singh Parihar - the dishes he served us- honestly it was a gastronomical paradise - we truly felt the warmth of Indian cuisine in the heart of Sri Lanka. He has really taken the cake- the food under his supervision was a capital highlight of our trip. My thanks to him for his services and would 10/10 recommend him to all guests. Overall taj bentota has stood out to be one of our most memorable vacations ever! Thanks taj and tata , for giving India in Sri Lanka.
