Mahasena's Palace

Bra mat, väldigt trevlig personal och rum. Rent och prydligt. Endast lite hårda sängar

We were completely blown away by this exclusive boutique hotel, that really lives up to the “boutique hotel” signum! The premises are absolutely stunning with very tasteful decorations and interior design. The staff is amazing – they will accommodate any wish you might have at the same time as they are professionally trained and oriented towards detail. We would especially like to mention Amila, Madusanka, Anusa who gave perfect and flexible service in the restaurant and Karu and his colleagues on the beach. The chef should have special compliments for excellent cooking! The pool is kept super clean by Karu and it was a bliss to take a swim after having fought the high waves in the ocean. We walked about 10 minutes to reach a somewhat calmer bay for a swim. The rooms don’t have glass windows or doors, and the design of the door was a bit annoying in the beginning, but once you learn how it works it was fine! But the room does get a bit dark when the door/window are closed. The turndown service team made great efforts to prevent mosquitos in the room with organic oil lamps and turned on the AC, so the room was nice and cool when we returned from dinner. A special mention to the Manager and Madusanka for arranging a early (5 a.m.) breakfast on our terrace on our departure! We didn’t expect this, and it was much appreciated! We were sad to leave and hope to come back next year to this and other Taru Villas locations!

We enjoyed our 6 night stay. The location of the hotel on the beach is perfect. The staff is very attentive, service minded and positive. We enjoyed the gym and SPA and our wonderful balcony from where we could see the most spectacular sunsets. We would have appreciated a better WiFi ( the small beach restaurants close by had a much better and faster WiFi). The poor WiFi is not acceptable in a place like this. We do not recommend eating at the hotel restaurant- so many better places around. And it would have been nice if the staff had followed up the hotel dress code for the guests eating in the restaurant...
