TripAdvisor Review
Truly Magical Taj!

If you haven't experienced Taj yet, and if you have ever wondered if it's really worth it - then this the review you should definitely read! 🌟

The Taj Samudra is located right at the Galle Face - as you enter the hotel property, you feel the premium-ness! It is the best view of sea and the city from any corner of the hotel. 🌊

The warmth of the staff members, right from the security personnel to the housekeeping staff will make your heart melt. The people of Taj, they are the real Tajness. 🫠

The room was spick and span clean and so thoughtfully designed for maximum experience! While most 5 star hotels would limit themselves when it comes to the add-ons, Taj especially goes beyond limit in this aspect. πŸ’Ž

The food was excellent, the interiors are grand, the swimming pool was amazing, the fitness centre was well maintained, the club lounge was classy, and the gardens felt so cozy. βœ…

It was a truly special personal evening for us, and Taj made sure it was a class apart milestone for our lives! Without going into personal details, I would like to thank each and every member of the Taj team for being so perfect in everything they do. ❀️

So yes, Taj is Taj. It's really really worth it, and much more beyond your expectations! ❣️❣️❣️

TripAdvisor Review
Loved it!!!

We had so much fun at the Taj Samudra! All the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Bhagya was our waitress for breakfast and she was phenomenal. She was so kind to us and treated us like royalty. She was very excited to hear about our Sri Lankan adventures and she made our experience very fun. Exceptional service and lavish environment.
