Nyne Hotels - the Muse, Bentota

We stayed at some exceptional places whilst in Sri Lanka but this was surely one of the best. We had been touring for a week beforehand and wanted to relax by the beach for a few days before flying home. The Muse was the perfect place to do this. The staff were very helpful and attentive - nothing was too much trouble. As for the chef ...well his meals were outstanding - the best we'd had on the island. A big thanks to all the team for a memorable few days with you.

Upon arriving at the Muse we were really impressed; beautiful hotel in a picturesque spot. The train that passed the hotel was not in the slightest off putting and our children loved it. The hotel staff were very friendly, especially Mike who was very accommodating. That said, we stayed in the interconnecting rooms behind the pool. The rooms were very spacious and appealing to the eye however throughout our stay there was an awful smell of drains and sewage. We also had a few issues with power cuts and when the air conditioning was switched on we could smell smoke and rubbish, which I assume came from staff smoking near the aircon units and bin rubbish presumably. The staff were quick to burn cinnamon to help with the smell and offered us another room however we (2 adults, 3 children) had picked up a sickness bug during our stay and we needed rest. Also with 3 children we required interconnecting rooms only which wouldn’t have been possible if we moved. The smell continued for the duration and we asked the staff daily to burn the cinnamon to help. We paid £2555 for 6 nights and sadly felt that the price did not reflect our stay. Our feedback was presented however our thoughts were dismissed and suggested it could have been dirty nappies.

Ich war schon öfters in Sri Lanka - Die kleinen Hotels von Taru sind einfach perfekt. Es wird wirklich der Kunde im Mittelpunkt gestellt und auf Kleinigkeiten auch geachtet. Von individuellen Wünschen beim Essen bis hin dass auch Unverträglichkeiten beachtet werden. Erholung pur auch wenn die Preise anspruchsvoll sind!

An oasis of calm relaxation amid the hustle and bustle of Bentota. Service is 2nd to none. The food is excellent, served on our room terrace or in the covered open air restaurant by the pool. Private beach with plenty of sun loungers. Access to their sister property next door with a perfect pool. The staff are the stars.

Dear reader, an amazing stay at this beautiful boutique hotel. Perfect staff. Chefs creates lovely breakfast and dinner. Flower garden and private beach. Luxere rooms you feel like you are in paradise. A place you will trully enjoy . Loved our stay here L&A 🍀🥂

The Muse is a super cozy, inviting place with a relaxing vibe . The property is very well maintained and the staff are extremely courteous and eager to please . Key highlights of our stay were the welcome passion fruit and basil ice lollies , the scrumptious Sri Lankan curry meals with beetroot salad and other accompaniments, the egg hoppers , the salted caramel icecream…. I must add that everything on the menu was simply delicious ! The cute bags to carry your essentials around , the chillax bar/ music area between the pool and the rooms, the very useful clothes dryer outside every room and how can I forget - tea and freshly baked cake service at the beach!!! They spoil you and how ! Thank you team Muse / Nyne for a very memorable holiday stay 🙏🏻🙏🏻😀😀
