"I left my heart in Talalla Retreat.
Incredible staff who were so welcoming and hard working, the Retreat itself is stunning. I had an upstairs bedroom so was able to fully enjoy the surroundings. The food was incredible. I felt super safe. I didn’t want to leave.
A must visit - and please do as the Sri Lankan people need visitors right now. "

"Nice and comfy room. Beautiful garden with many beautiful birds and other wildlife.
Close to the beach. Plus is for the distance to Galle Road (which is very noisy).
The dinner was good, but far from great. The curry’s are way to salty. Same as for the breakfast (don’t try the chocolate pancakes).
Beautiful place and very friendly staff.
- Big minus for the hotels own landfill that you see if you take a walk outside the fences. They should really clean that up. Not ok!

"Good parts. Location for beach, size of axcomodation, privacy, quite modern.
Bad parts.. paid for breakfast NO BREAKFAST!!! NO WIFI AT ALL!!! NO HOT WATER AT ALL!! Then there was other things that it said the accomodation had but wasnt there...ie desk, slippers, bottled water.
Worst of all the accomodation is next door to a temple that has chanting through a loud speaker starting at 05.30am and lasts about 45 minutes. This is repeated at 6pm....very loud."

"Hidden gem tucked over a hill just off the main road with a jungle outlook. Lovely rooms, amazing breakfasts, friendly hosts and staff, and a short walk to where the action is. Would stay again in a heartbeat. "

"Very nice staff and clean rooms as well as all amenities. Nice location with a great view though you have to keep in mind that from the street you will have to take a very nice but quit slow kind of funicular through their absolutely stunningky beautiful "vertical" garden. You can entertain yourself by watching the many monkeys in the area but dont leave any belongings on the balcony as the monkeys might take it. It adds fun and a bit of adventure to your stay. Reception and overall staff are exeptional. Both pools and other amenities are very well kept and clean. Highly recommend staying there if you like comfort, view and cleanliness. Will come again"
"Lovely hotel, nice breakfast, room was cleaned daily, staff were very friendly. Beautiful pool for relaxing. Would definitely return. Lovely restaurants nearby and beach too n walking distance."
"Everything was great! Check in was really, which is a nice bonus. The hotel was close to everything (the beach, the town centre, restaurants) without being on the main busy road. And a great price for what you get. The shower was finicky though - super hot and we couldn't figure out how to change the temp."
