Nyne Hotels - The Muse, Bentota

excellent staff who could not do enough to make sure your stay was as you would want it.Pool was wonderfully warm and gardens were exquisite and very colourful. Trains were noisy but interesting and after a while you did not notice them.

We had a wonderful time here and I would absolutely recommend staying a couple of nights at this villa! The atmosphere is very relaxed as this is a rather small place with only 9 rooms/villa’s or so. The service was outstanding; from the guys at the beach bringing us free ice cream and a cold beer and water when we wanted some to the servers in the restaurant who gave us the best experience we had throughout our journey in Sri Lanka. The food is amazing!! We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner and everything was soo good! The rooms are filled with everything you need, they are of size and very clean. There was not one single thing about this resort we could comment upon not liking.

We were completely blown away by this exclusive boutique hotel, that really lives up to the “boutique hotel” signum! The premises are absolutely stunning with very tasteful decorations and interior design. The staff is amazing – they will accommodate any wish you might have at the same time as they are professionally trained and oriented towards detail. We would especially like to mention Amila, Madusanka, Anusa who gave perfect and flexible service in the restaurant and Karu and his colleagues on the beach. The chef should have special compliments for excellent cooking! The pool is kept super clean by Karu and it was a bliss to take a swim after having fought the high waves in the ocean. We walked about 10 minutes to reach a somewhat calmer bay for a swim. The rooms don’t have glass windows or doors, and the design of the door was a bit annoying in the beginning, but once you learn how it works it was fine! But the room does get a bit dark when the door/window are closed. The turndown service team made great efforts to prevent mosquitos in the room with organic oil lamps and turned on the AC, so the room was nice and cool when we returned from dinner. A special mention to the Manager and Madusanka for arranging a early (5 a.m.) breakfast on our terrace on our departure! We didn’t expect this, and it was much appreciated! We were sad to leave and hope to come back next year to this and other Taru Villas locations!
