Ben

United Kingdom, November 2023

7.8/10

I had a mixed experience at Taru Villas. The rooms were beautiful and clean, making it a place I would consider staying at again. However, my room was a bit like a concrete cell with limited natural light and a view of a nearby concrete wall. The service was top-notch with extremely helpful and friendly staff, although there was a small incident with an umbrella. The location, while quiet and hidden, offered easy access to nearby sights but was a bit far from the seafront. Dining options were good overall, but there was room for improvement, especially with more variety. The facilities were enjoyable and well-maintained.

The hotel offers lovely and more private rooms that were ready before check-in time. The eating/drinking area is equipped with a mosquitoes control application. Overall, a great stay with minor room improvements and dining charges for extras.

The breakfast here was hands down the best I have ever had, with delicious local fruit and a healthy bowl of buffalo curd and granola. Just a note, there are charges for extra items.
