A highlight of our Sri Lanka Trip : Unwinding at Taj
Pros:

Me and my wife chose Taj to unwind on the last day of our anniversary Sri Lanka trip. I had emailed previously about the occasion and was given a 2 level upgrade at Checkin to a Ocean View Club room. The bed was decorated with flowers and a complimentary cake was given which tasted delicious. Ordered Me Goreng and Caesar Salad via in room dining as we were very hungry after a long drive, both the dishes tasted great. In the evening we had a Tea based mocktail and Chamomile Tea at Lattice, both of which were very refreshing. In the morning we had a dip at the swimming pool before going to breakfast at Ports of Call restaurant. The breakfast spread was really good, had a lot of Continental and Indian options as well as local Sri Lankan food.
Overall a great experience and felt sad staying here for only one day, would surely come back here again.

A Fantastic Stay in Colombo
Pros:

I recently spent a few days at the Taj Samudra and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The property itself is beautiful with great views of the ocean, but the service really sets it apart. The staff goes out of their way to make sure everything is perfect.
I want to give a special shout out to the team members of Ports of Call resturant who made my stay so memorable:
Dilhara and Gayan were incredibly welcoming and handled everything with such professionalism.
Chathura and Oshan provided top notch service and always had a smile on their faces.
Sanjeev, Madu, and Dileka were attentive to every detail and made me feel right at home.
The breakfast spread was impressive and the rooms were kept spotless throughout my visit. If you are looking for a place in Colombo that combines luxury with genuine hospitality, this is it. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to the city.

Pros:

Pobyt v tomto hotelu byl pro mě i mou dceru naprosto skvělým zážitkem. Od prvního momentu jsme se cítili velmi vítáni a v naprostém bezpečí, což pro mě bylo při cestování s dcerou klíčové.
​Co nás nadchlo nejvíce:
​Personál: Všichni, se kterými jsme se setkali, byli neuvěřitelně milí a přátelští. Ať už šlo o recepci, kde nám vždy ochotně poradili, nebo o obsluhu v restauraci, jejich úsměv a profesionalita nám každý den zpříjemňovaly pobyt.
​Gastronomie: Jídlo v hotelu je vynikající.
​Čistota a bezpečí: Hotel je velmi čistý, udržovaný a působí velmi bezpečným dojmem. Je to klidné místo, kde si člověk opravdu odpočine.
Recepce: Nám vyšla ochotně vstříc ve všech požadavcích.

Děkujeme, rádi se vrátíme:-)
