God beliggenhed
Pros:

At det lå tæt ved stranden. Værelserne havde en okay størrelse. Maden var god, der var rent. Og så var vi tæt på dyrelivet, fik besøg af 30-40 sorthovedet aber, det var et højdepunkt. Personalet var hjælpsomme, det var skønt. Så lå det tæt ved Turtle Watch.

Cons:

Ikke rigtig noget.

Pros:

Meget fin beliggenhed tæt på stranden hvor du kan se skildpadder - vi så også de små unger klække ud. Super søde værter og værelserne er meget fine og rene. Virkelig værdi for pengene

Kulinarisch top, guter Platz für jene, die Schildkröten beobachten wollen.
Pros:

Die Lage in der Nähe vom Turtle Watch Rekawa war perfekt. Besonders gut war das Abendessen, insbesondere das Chicken Kottu war sensationell, das best, das wir in Sri Lanka bisher bekommen haben. Sehr nett waren auch die Bananen-Mango-Shakes, die es zur Begrüßung gab.

Cons:

Wir wollten das Frühstück um 8 Uhr. Es gab das aber erst frühestens um 8:30 Uhr.

A great base for turtle watching and a relaxing beach stay
Pros:

We had a really lovely stay at Turtle Paradise. The rooms were spotlessly clean, airy and spacious, with comfortable beds and good air conditioning to keep them cool.

We ate all our meals here during our stay and thoroughly enjoyed everything – the food was consistently good and made it very easy to relax and stay put.

The family who run the hotel were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They gave us great suggestions for things to do nearby and helped us to arrange transport, which made everything very easy.

The location is ideal, just a short walk from the Rekawa Beach Turtle Project, which made it so easy to head out in the evening to see nesting turtles and then return quickly afterwards. During the day, the beach is beautiful and quiet, and we loved exploring the coastline and spotting turtles swimming in the sea.

Overall, it was a perfect base for this part of our trip and we would happily recommend it.

Bella struttura vicinissima al centro dí avvistamento delle tartarughe marine.
Pros:

La struttura è molto carina e pulita. Il ristorante è buono e i prezzi sono economici. Peccato che il figlio dei padroni, a differenza delle recensioni lette, si sia rivelato una persona poco trasparente, che cerca di ingannarti per estorcerti denaro per vedere le tartarughe. In realtà basta andare al centro Rekawa Turtle Sanctuary, dove ci sono ragazzi gentilissimi che al prezzo standard del biglietto ti avvertono se avvistano tartarughe per permetterti di vedere la deposizione. La spiaggia è bellissima e quasi deserta anche se è impossibile fare il bagno causa la forza delle onde. A circa 1 km però c’è una caletta dove é possibile nuotare insieme ad una simpatica tartaruga che vive lì

Cons:

Il figlio dei proprietari, che rovina la bellissima atmosfera del luogo.
