Staff were beautiful and attentive and check-in was seamless. We even got to check in early without any mention from staff. Hotel grounds were absolutely immaculate and we enjoyed the pools very much.
Loved the peaceful location on Mawella beach.
Overall good value for money.
Food was quite average and on multiple occasions, was not very fresh. Perhaps because the hotel was at this time only servicing a handful of guests (due to the socio-political climate).
Room very clean but a little bit tired - rugs in room need replacing they were stained. Small complaint but not quite was is expected of 5 star.

We had a lovely stay at Taru Villas Mawella, it's a lovely quiet property next to a wonderful beach. The staff were great, and a special call out to Lahiru who kindly helped us when we were having problems obtaining tickets for the cricket. Management appear to be investing in the hotel to ensure it maintains the quality you'd expect at this price point.
Breakfast service was a little inconsistent and the food a bit hit and miss; order the Sri Lankan and it's wonderful, Eggs Benedict, not so much.
It would have been nice to have a chair in the room as per the photographs on Booking.com.

Quiet and secluded location just a few steps away from a clean, fine-sand beach. We loved the property’s Colonial style and the amazingly attentive and gracious service provided by the staff. Our every need was met by the devoted staff always present to attend to any possible wish. Both the Western and the Sri Lankan breakfasts (must be booked the day before) were outstanding. Our fish based dinner was absolutely superb: the tuna was the most tender we’ve ever tasted. The grounds and the rooms are perfectly maintained and we enjoyed the shower’s plentiful hot water with good pressure. The various loose teas provided in the room were a nice touch.
Most of the time the WiFi didn’t work.

The pool near the courtyard was very nice, the verandah room was compact but stylish.
The restaurant food was very poor, except breakfast which was acceptable. The beach access was uninviting and poorly furnished.
