A little piece of Africa in the sub continent. Attention to detail with a feeling of understated hidden luxury in nature. Excellent service and lovely food. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Nothing
The property was clean and the rooms were pretty.
Firstly we took a taxi to the property, relying on where Google maps said the property was. We arrive at the location which was about 2km from where the property actually was, we had to call the property to find it. Next, we arrived at the property and we were met by quite a rude member of staff who took us to our room. In the room our glass sliding door did not lock (we had to get someone to come and fix that), we also had a tap that was coming out of the wall in our bathroom and a frog in our room. There was no music playing in any of the communal areas, we were the only guests staying so it felt extremely creepy and silent. We also booked full board, when we arrived we found that no drinks apart from tea and coffee were included. We had stayed at a property in Sri Lanka at a similar price point where full board included all drinks including any alcoholic beverage. We were extremely disappointed and we thought there was a sever lack of value for money. We ended up leaving a day early.
We had an exceptional stay here. The entire site is classy, well maintained and high quality. The rooms are jaw dropping and we were lucky enough to get an upgrade which was much appreciated!! We loved the guided kayak, the safari and the nature walk - all super informative and well catered for, with food / equipment. The staff were lovely and so accommodating for any requests. We absolutely loved the rice and curry here. Stay!!!! You won’t regret it.
This was our second stay at a Taru Villas property and we were not disappointed. We were upgraded to a room with a plunge pool, which was a lovely surprise. The location, room (which was fantastic), the staff and the food were all excellent.
We visited Wilpattu instead of Yala because we'd heard how crazily busy Yala is. We did a full day safari with Praneeth from Taru Villas, and Kanchana the safari driver. It felt like a true adventure, and Praneeth's knowledge combined with Kanchana's driving skills meant that we saw many animals, including a leopard, along with the most beautiful birds. It felt like we were the only ones in the park most of the time.
A very small thing. When paying so much for a safari, it would be nice if the jeep's seats had been wiped cleaned. It didn't detract from the day in any way, but such a small thing can make a difference.
Attentive staff, clean, quiet, comfortable.
Everything
the staff is extremely kind, service is impeccable. We had to stay an extra three days due to cyclone Ditwah and floods in the area. Taru is the best place to be in isolation, we felt safe, and were taken very good care of, even though staff was busy looking after the property and reaching out to their families and the local community.
all good
The staff cleanliness levels and facilities, and the incredible river view chalet
The nearest park gate is 1.5 hours away due to the park being partially closed so the park is very far
Stunning Hotel, beautiful design and kind staff. Highly recommend!
The property and staff were brilliant from start to finish. We arrived later than we had expected as our driver, who we booked separately from the hotel, took us the wrong way (it is worth clarifying the location as this entrance to the park is fairly new we were told but is very close to Backwaters and Wild Wadi accommodations too, which are on the same road) . When finally arrived, we were greeted with cold flannel towels, bags brought to our room and a tour of our beautiful room. Also a BBQ banquet of meat, fish and vegetables was delivered to our room when we arrived as we were so tired from a day of travel! All the food was incredibly delicious throughout. Bit shoutout to Jeewan who made our stay extra special and attended to our every need!
We booked onto a Wilpattu safari via the hotel and did not regret! We have come out of season so our expectations were low but still managed to see a leopard and elephants - another big shoutout to Sandaal (not sure on spelling) who spoke fantastic English and was so knowledgeable about animal tracks, behaviour and different species.
Nothing not to like!
Absolutely incredible hotel - staff go so above and beyond to help and be hospitable. Accommodation is stunning and out of this world. Food is excellent and only 10 mins from Wilpattu park.
Nothing. Just wish we’d stayed longer!
Magnifique lieu havre de paix. De plus on entre par le côté le moins fréquenté pour le safari.
