An amazing stay! We decided to have some days to relax after touring Sri Lanka and this was the perfect choice to end on a high!! Our room 5 was so comfortable with high ceilings, private terrace, personal lounge, huge bathroom and really comfortable big four poster bed, all spotlessly clean and views of beautiful tended flower gardens. All the staff were so attentive and kind and nothing was too much trouble. Asanga, the manager, was outstanding and gave us an early check in and late check out and could not have done more to look after us. So many staff shone out, from Taranga in the restaurant who gave us our favourite poolside table, the rest of the waiting staff who brought complimentary tea, water and delicious homemade afternoon snacks, the security man who changed our room safe when the battery went flat, the room boys who refreshed the room and brought anti mosquito coils and citronella each evening and staff who carried sun beds and parasol to the beach for us!! My husband felt like a king!! (He’s now hell to live with now that we’re home ). We tried Sri Lankan and western menu and both were delicious! A great location.. we took a local tuk tuk from outside the hotel to the station to catch a train to Galle. The beach was at the end of the garden through palm trees across a train track and was very quiet, safe swimming and beautiful golden soft sand. The hotel pool was just as lovely with shower room close by. The occasional train went by but this was sweet to watch, the locals waving from the train as they went to school and work. During our 16 day holiday touring Sri Lanka we stayed in 7 quality hotels and we enjoyed our stay at Taru the most. The genuine warmth and sincerity of each and individual member of staff , led from the top, made us feel not just like royalty but also like beloved family members. A truly wonderful experience in a luxury boutique hotel and would definitely highly recommend you visit!! We would love to come back.
