“Great boutique hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2008

Stayed at Taru Villa in Bentota for 2 nights recently. Great location near fantastic beach and super, low-key service. Food excellent and we had a great room (9) with a sea view. Thought that it might be getting a bit faded around the edges as been open now about 4-5 years but everything remains in v good condition. Great pool and garden. Thoroughly recommended. About 2.5 hours drive from the airport as driving is very slow!!

“something worthwhile”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 March 2008

had the opportunity to stay at River House (no beach)
and Taprobane on the beach in Bentota; but you shuld
really try the Park Street hotel in Colombo (magic at nite)
the food is very good in all places, but esp in Taprobane.
Understand they are opening up in Nuwra Elya where
they took over a place up the hill with beautiful landscaping
and a great view, fireplace etc etc
all these places are quite impressive
