The attention to detail. Impeccable service, the staff was truly the best, warm and kind. Beautiful property. Amazing food. Very clean, spotless!

We chose the room with the private plunge pool, and, unfortunately for us, perhaps the worst room in the entire property. The pool is not really private, it is open to the common area, so it defeats the purpose of having a “private” plunge pool. Also, by plunge pool we mean a bathtub size “pool”, it is not really a place where you can swim at all, just seat in it. Unfortunately, this is also the closest room to the train tracks and you not only hear it very close, but the room itself shakes every time the train passes. And bear in mind, it continually passes by, all day and night. The room didn’t have windows, well, one very small and high window that you couldn’t really open as all the mosquitos would come in (didn’t have fly screen nor glass as such, just a wooden window). Same with the main room door, you couldn’t really leave it open. So basically you were trapped in a very dark stone oven (yes, the room takes ages to cool down, it was basically an oven). You couldn’t leave the bathroom door open either (which was quite small) because the only (small) window didn’t have a screen or glass, just a wooden frame. So if you would leave it open, the heat and mosquitos will get in. The staff mentioned the best rooms are at the main house. So probably try to get those. We must add, the beach, although beautiful, is across the train tracks. It is not too far, but it is not close either…. They have a private beach team for lounge chairs and other services, but honestly, the whole thing is a bit inconvenient.

Very luxurious, the staff were very attentive and helpful.

Maybe the prices of food and drinks were a little prohibitive for us to have every day. And, of course, the railway line so close made it noisy at times but we were aware of that before arrival.

Everything! The place, the staff, the pool area, the lounge areas, the proximity to the beach, the FOOD! We were treated like royalty and we can't wait to try other properties of Taru across Sri Lanka!

Little difficult to find on Google Maps but if you speak to the manager, they'll guide you well. Its behind a government office so they can't put up too many boards to guide you.

Great food, easy access to the beach, very clean, staff was amazing and gave you privacy. very comfortable, easy to get around and wish we could've stayed longer. just amazing experience all round

nothing that really impacted our stay but I would like if they could pave the road/driveway that leads to the hotel as its not a great entry.

Everything, great staff, food and very peaceful

The staff were lovely and attentive, beautiful facilities and delicious food

We loved everything about this place. It far exceeded our expectations in all respects. The Muse is very modern, stylish and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The food was excellent with plenty of choice.

Nothing!

Everything. Staff were Amazing & went out of their way to make sure you were enjoying your stay. They were all so happy & accommodating. I loved the quirky interior design throughout the villa. The vibe was chill, relaxing, happy, romantic, intimate, private, quiet, peaceful. The food was outstanding- breakfast & dinner. Cooking class was phenomenal 7* dish with a wonderful chef. It was exceptionally clean & comfortable. Few feet away from a beautiful private beach & staff bring you down an ice pop to cool you down :) we would definitely return!

If there's one thing it would be the entrance driving in to the villa & car park is a little messy with other buildings around it
