We visited this hotel for the 11th time in April and although it is undergoing a huge refurbishment we were not disappointed. The location of the hotel on a beautiful beach is still perfect.and the hotel will be amazing when all the refurbishment is completed. The service was excellent as always - the staff could not do enough to make... More

The location of the hotel is fantastic. Sometimes the sea water touches the garden. Its a breathtaking view from the rooms. I didnt find any flaw in the service or ambience. I was upgraded to a Suite which had a sea facing room, lobby area, a fantastic washroom and a balcony to see the garden and sea. We even organised... More

Honestly saying, we were disappointed after checking in to Vivanta by Taj in Bentota. Room was not good at all as expected from the Taj and the bathroom was not clean at all. Food was way over priced and not as good as per Taj standard. Taj represent a very big brand in India and this was a total disaster.... More

Great hotel, renovation is going on the first wing. when we went ten years back for our honey moon it was far better and the staff was excellent compare to ten years back their is a draw back in the management, but spa and the treatment is fantastic.

What a shame a great location but not near a five star resort ! The hotel was under renovation in one wing , much as the noise of the building was not great, happy to tolerate as they are upgrading the hotel . Rooms were old tired and dirty and only of three star rating at best . Staff were... More

Only drawback of the location is thst it is 200rs tuktuk ride to the main road. Renovation has started so the occupancy was pretty low. The landscaping is great as... More

Excellent five star resort. Currently under renovation with 75 rooms not available. Makeshift reception but no issues encountered. Very good breakfast and dinner facilities. On the beach with access from two sides. Clean beach with security at gates. Definitely recommended for relaxing from the city bustle!

The hotel needs serious refurbishment which is already going on now (though it was not informed at the time of booking which is expected from a Taj group of hotels).There is makeshift entrance, cramped reception and gives a feeling of walking into a 3 star hotel.The staff were hospitable and tried their best to make it comfortable for us.It is...

The hotel is in a wonderful setting. Beach is beautiful. Nice pool area. Food and service were the best part of experience. However, we were very disappointed with the quality of the rooms. Much in need of a renovation and the decor needs updating. I think this is at best a 3 star hotel.
