The service is spectacular and truely personalised. Kenny and the staff gave great attention to detail around preferences. It’s the small things that make this place different and better than the larger chains. Also the small property made it very homely yet all comforts were available. The food was great as well. All dishes (other than the pizza) gave us food comma Overall would definitely recommend the place. It’s a 10/10 barring the issues with the central team (mentioned below)

The management by Taru villas central team is below average - there was fair bit of confusion on Christmas dinner. Despite mentioning that we are vegetarian it was not conveyed to local staff - all prices on menus are in USD but bills are prepared in LKR. Local staff again helpless and doing what is directed. - Bill is prepared manually. No system based and itemised bill given. Had to manually check everything

Everything. Staff were Amazing & went out of their way to make sure you were enjoying your stay. They were all so happy & accommodating. I loved the quirky interior design throughout the villa. The vibe was chill, relaxing, happy, romantic, intimate, private, quiet, peaceful. The food was outstanding- breakfast & dinner. Cooking class was phenomenal 7* dish with a wonderful chef. It was exceptionally clean & comfortable. Few feet away from a beautiful private beach & staff bring you down an ice pop to cool you down :) we would definitely return!

If there's one thing it would be the entrance driving in to the villa & car park is a little messy with other buildings around it

Artfully designed rooms, with every comfort thoughtfully catered to, I loved the large balconies that opened up to the sound of waves & pirith along with beautiful sights of the village and golden sunsets. The sea being steps away was glorious and the food was just delicious!

Beautiful small boutique hotel south of Bentota near to beach where the hotel has its own beach chairs and the beach is kept clean. Wonderfully friendly and attentive staff. The hotel has a nice pool and garden facing the coast. Food was excellent.

Very luxurious, the staff were very attentive and helpful.

Maybe the prices of food and drinks were a little prohibitive for us to have every day. And, of course, the railway line so close made it noisy at times but we were aware of that before arrival.

Everything! The place, the staff, the pool area, the lounge areas, the proximity to the beach, the FOOD! We were treated like royalty and we can't wait to try other properties of Taru across Sri Lanka!

Little difficult to find on Google Maps but if you speak to the manager, they'll guide you well. Its behind a government office so they can't put up too many boards to guide you.

If I only had one word to describe our stay: flawless. Generally hospitality in Sri Lanka is good but this place takes it to the next level. Very friendly and professional staff. Amazing food which felt like fine dining (definitely recommend having dinner here during your stay!) - and one of the best eggs benedicts at breakfast I've ever had (along with fresh fruit, nice coffee etc). Staff helped us to arrange trips/tuktuks. Bedroom and bathroom were very big and furnished/cleaned to a high standard. Very peaceful location, lots of nice places to sit around the pool/gardens and the beach is a stones throw away.

I only wish we had stayed for more than 2 nights! Would definitely come again.

Great food, easy access to the beach, very clean, staff was amazing and gave you privacy. very comfortable, easy to get around and wish we could've stayed longer. just amazing experience all round

nothing that really impacted our stay but I would like if they could pave the road/driveway that leads to the hotel as its not a great entry.

Everything - staff are perfect, food is excellent, clean tidy and beautiful

Our particular room was the closest to the railway and this did disturb our sleep, although the hotel kindly provided earplugs at turn down! I would recommend asking for a room further back and it wouldn’t be an issue.

We loved everything about this place. It far exceeded our expectations in all respects. The Muse is very modern, stylish and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The food was excellent with plenty of choice.

Nothing!
