The Taj Sumadra was the quintessential 5 star experience. The attention to detail in terms of service especially our room attendant Sunil, the amenities which included an excellent gym and pool, the location and food made it possibly our best hotel stay ever. The check and check out staff made the whole stay extremely special and will be an experience our family will never forget. Thank you Taj!!!

Pleasant stay

Pros: Quiet
Cons: No free Internet
The only thing I didn't like that they did not serve traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. I was very disappointed in that.
