The property itself is so beautiful, the views are amazing and loom exactly like the photos. It is very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. It is the perfect place to just relax and forget about life dor a while. But as amazing as the place and the views are, its the staff at Taru Villas who make it an unforgettable holiday. They truly go out of their way to make your stay so comfortable and enjoyable and are just amazing people. We will definitely be back again!

The cost of the food and drinks at the villa is just a bit expensive. We were not aware we can’t take our own food and drinks, so it does add up over the course of a couple of days. Even though it is costly, the staff and amazing location does make it all worth while and very convenient in the end.

Nothing

The manager Rohan, and his team, go above and beyond to make sure that guests have a wonderful time. Tucked away from a busy road; the setting is wonderful, and guests have it all to themselves. Beautifully furnished with antiques; it is magical. The food is excellent. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice and it is worth having the BBQ one night, with fish caught that morning. The best food we had in Sri Lanka. You have this stretch of beach virtually to yourselves; safe to swim and a short stroll up the beach to Hikkaduwa.

The response to booking.com reservation was poor. No response (in fact the only response via booking.com was sent a day after we’d already checked in). I had to chase and telephone. The central reservations manager muddled our booking at thought we were staying at another Taru property. Finally Rohan called me direct and all was sorted immediately. Well done him! But seriously, if Taru are to use booking.com as a portal they need to be much more responsive. Apart from that glitch; the place is wonderful and I throughly recommend it and am relieved I persevered!

The 1-1 attention given by staff and their willingness to provide meals we wanted. The bed rooms and bathrooms have a grand feel to them. The beach at the back of the garden. The small swimming pool that was suitable for kids. The hammock and the beach beds in the garden.

A little too expensive. The sitting room should have air conditioning; it is too warm otherwise. The sitting room needs to be left private for our use without the staff being in it. The small kitchen adjoining the sitting room needs repair and renovation (water leaking all the time, tap handles broken).

This is a wonderful place! We came here with our 2 sons (24 and 17) to relax and spend time together and this was the perfect spot for it. Good sized bedrooms, nicely decorated and very comfortable beds. The living room is cozy but we spent most of our time outside where you have the plunge pool, a sitting area, sunbeds and last but not least the sea is there right at your doorstep. The staff, Rohan(manager) and Mohan(housekeeping) are amazing and give excellent service, Nothing is too much to ask for them! Location wise the Villa is well situated, close to Hikkaduwa and not too far from Galle. Book this place if it's available! .

Superb villa. Inside and outside, all amenities were provided to a great standard. Wonderful group of staff on hand. Terrific team available (unexpected bonus). Housekeeping manager, assistant and chef. Thank you to Rohan, Thanushka and chef for making us feel so welcome, safe, comfortable and well fed. We had the best four day stay in this blissful location.

The experience was wonderful, everything was excellent, the accommodation, the food, the beach, the location but the people who work in this accommodation made the difference, Mr. Rohan, Mr. Mohan and Mr. Kalana, it was like being at home with family, their care for us was amazing.

There were no negative points

Liked everything about the villa! Hope to come back next year :) There is enough space on villa for 4 people but there were two of us - my friend and me. It was soooo convenient to have separate rooms. The staff that lives on villa was super friendly and helpful. They tried their best for us to have excellent time in Hikkaduwa and they were the icing of the cake of the accomodation. Would really recommend everyone to visit the place and stay there.

The villa was more than we could have expected from the description. From the street the villa looks very ordinary but when you enter through the gate it is a beautiful private oasis. The outside areas are well looked after and the loungers and pool allow for a great sunbathing day. You are only a few steps away from the sea, although most of the time it is better to watch than to enter. The staff were brilliant at what they do, attentive but not overbearing. We didn't realise the villa came with staff and it was a great realisation. The chef was brilliant and the food was great, especially the barramundi. Rohan was a very considerate host and nothing was too much. The location was perfect for us. A 20 minute walk down the beach took us to funky bar, a great place to watch the surfers and the great sunsets. A further 20 minutes takes you to Hikaduwa town. Both are only a short drive by tuk tuk if walking isn't your thing. We loved our stay here and look forward to returning.

Nothing. It was a great place to stay

In one word, I would call Tara Villa Genius Loci. For me, the villa became a second home. I would like to thank the staff for their commitment to taking care of us and providing food, cleaning and overall service, which was above and beyond normal accommodation. They even arranged a Valentine flower for my friend. Undoubtedly the best accommodation with a high standard. Thank you very much, I would like to come back to this place.
