We began our trip to Sri Lanka at Taavetti, and it was the perfect choice. The hotel arranged an airport pickup for us, making the two-hour drive smooth and scenic. Galle was an excellent starting point, and Taavetti proved to be the ideal place to stay. Getting to the fort was easy with a quick Tuk Tuk ride, and the beach across the street was simply spectacular. The hotel itself was fabulous, with an incredible staff who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. A huge thank you to Ambiga, Gayantha, Raja, Nethmi, Roshan, Banuka, Hasitha, and Waruni—you all made our stay truly special! I wish we had stayed an extra night. The room was beautiful, the breakfast was fantastic, and the hotel even helped us arrange transportation to Mirissa the next day. A wonderful start to our Sri Lankan adventure!
