Idyllische Auszeit an Traumstrand
Pros:

Tolle, sehr idyllische Unterkunft mit gepflegten Zimmern, gutem Essen und tollen Management / Mitarbeitern an Traumstrand. Wir haben uns willkommen geheißen gefühlt, haben super Tipps für Ausflüge bekommen und wurden herzlich umsorgt - egal ob es um die Organisation eines Angelausflugs oder Hilfe bei der Visa-Verlängerung ging. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und kann mit Meerblick eingenommen werden. Wir waren total begeistert und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Parfait
Pros:

L'hôtel est vraiment au bord de la mer avec une belle plage privée et très propre. Attention au fait qu'on puisse pas forcément se baigner en fonction de la saison car la mer peut être vite agitée. Les chambres sont très bien équipées et propres. Le piscine vue mer est parfaite.

Cons:

Pas le meilleur emplacement si vous voulez faire toute la côte sud (à 1h de Mirissa, 20min de Tangalle). Cependant il y a une location de scooter juste à côté qui peut vraiment vous dépanner.

Wie im Paradies
Pros:

Unfassbarer Strand, wie im Paradies. Das Essen ist fantastisch und das Personal unglaublich freundlich. Man muss beachten, dass der Weg zum Hotel, sobald man von der Hauptstraße abgebogen ist, sehr holprig ist.

Enjoyed it so much, I'll visit again !!!
Pros:

Seven Turtles has a wonderful rustic feel, and from first impressions seems quite basic but ................ this is all part of the charm and the comfort of the stay. The location, staff, and food are excellent and the Owners are a delight. If you want to chill out for a few days, read, listen to music, have a few cold beers, or do nothing ......then all you need to do is pull up a lounger on the Seven Turtles Beach. I ran along the Indian Ocean which was inspiring and was even at times accompanied by the dogs who also live at Seven Turtles .......... my exercise companions!! I will re-visit !!!

Cons:

The sea is quite rough along this Coastline so dipping in the sea is done with caution.

Уютный отель на берегу
Pros:

Хорошее местоположение: отель находится прямо на берегу огромного пляжа в тихом районе. Мы жили в бунгало. Понравилось, что домик расположен так, что другие гости проходя мимо не могут заглянуть к вам на террасу и вы можете чувствовать себя очень уединенно. В номерах есть все необходимое, хороший напор воды, приятная косметика в душе. Персонал очень внимательный и дружелюбный. На территории есть бар и ресторан. Готовят вкусно и готовы учесть ваши пожелания.
Хороший, просторный бассейн, который чистят ежедневно. Предоставляют полотенца для пляжа/бассейна.
Возможно для кого-то это важно: хозяева говорят на русском.
Нам все очень понравилось.

Cons:

Все понравилось.
Кстати, все пишут о том, что рядом идет стройка и она там на самом деле есть и перед заселением сотрудники об этом предупреждают, но нам она абсолютно не мешала. Слышали только шум океана.
