Breakfast food feast

31 May 2026
Entering into the Taj was breathtaking . With friendly staff and the most delicious welcoming drink. Our room was spacious and clean however there were guests who were smoking a few rooms from us and the smell lingered, like a dirty secret for a few days. Breakfast is an absolute feast, with the assistance of Induhlin, the Supervisor, who guided me to try the local Sri Lankan food. What a wonderful ambassador to the Taj and to Sri Lanka, I think he should be promoted! The pool was perfect after a day of sight seeing and the staff attentive. Do try the bar area for a light dinner, I had the fish and chips, which was fresh and delicious. I can highly recommend the Taj Samudra, for the service and the food

Best FndB staff

We went for the breakfast buffet where the food was amazing and the staff, any appreciation would be less. They were all continuously working so hard to make our experience better. Special thanks to Mr Dilhara, dileka, chathura, Idunil and chef Vipin.

From Wedding Celebrations to Honeymoon Memories — Simply Perfect!

31 May 2026
We had a wonderful experience at the “Ports of Call” restaurant during our honeymoon stay at Taj Samudra Colombo. After celebrating our wedding here, it was so special to return and enjoy the warm hospitality once again. A heartfelt thank you to Dias, Dilhara, Athauda, Keshan, and Poorni for making our visit memorable. Each of them was incredibly friendly, attentive, and supportive throughout our dining experience. Their genuine care and excellent service truly made us feel welcomed and valued. The atmosphere was relaxing, the food was delicious, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend “Ports of Call” to anyone visiting Taj Samudra Colombo, especially for couples celebrating special moments. Thank you again to the amazing team for making our honeymoon even more memorable!

Home Away from Home.

31 May 2026
This is our first trip as a family to Sri Lanka and so far we have had a really lovely experience. The Taj Samudra is well located within a stones throw of the beach and not far from sites around town. The staff here are extremely helpful and very obliging. Nothing is too much trouble and you are always met with a smile and a helpful and friendly attitude. We had a lovely dining experience this evening in the main restaurant known as Ports of Call and our server was named Oshan. He was extremely knowledgable, helpful and efficient. Both times we have visited this eatery, the staff have been welcoming and generous with their time and attention to detail. On arrival we needed to fix some clothing that had ripped on our flight, and a lovely lady called Sumudu in house keeping, repaired the clothing without any hesitation or charge. Our room is well kitted out, clean and spacious with nice views and excellent amenities. I’d highly recommend a stay here as all the staff can’t do enough for you. It’s been a lovely first experience of this beautiful country. Highly recommend.
