Taj Samudra had incredible hospitality and really elevated rooms. The fact they have reusable bottle program shows that they care for the environment and want to be sustainable. Also it’s right across the water, so you can do a quick walk by the sea any time. The buffet food was good, not exceptional especially the vegetarian options were mediocre at best. Although the stand alone restaurant Navratna had smashing food.

Great place to stay
Stay at the hotel was comfortable, clean, and carefree. The staff service was great, the food options were amazing. For someone looking to understand how far the oceanfront rooms were from the ocean, please know that there were other buildings and a road in front; the pictures on the hotel website are taken from a different angle.

Taj samudra review
usually taj hotels "wow" us. but probably due to srilanka's economic condition, taj decided not to keep the hotel immaculate. Plus, there were kids running around in the club lounge, screaming, every evening. I know that in other hotels as well as taj properties, kids have an age restrictions. Here, even maids for the kids were present as well.
