Won’t be staying here again.
Pros:

Not a lot

Cons:

Booked to stay two nights. Left after one. Window in the bathroom was missing the glass. Building works going on right outside early in the morning. When you shower the floor wasn’t sloped so the whole bathroom floor just got soaked and made it slippery every time to use the toilet.

Window above the door had no curtain so in the morning it shone right onto the bed waking us up very early.

Then even if we wanted to open the main curtains it opened up to a communal area so not a lot of privacy.

Also only one plug socket which was by the light switch by the door so couldn’t leave anything to charge as it was half way up the wall.

Amazing Hosts and Great Location!
Pros:

Amazing place. Staff were so friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect, a 2 minute walk away from the beach and turtle information centre where we did turtle watching at night which was an unforgettable experience.

The room was very clean and comfy, with good air con, a hot shower and full mosquito net on the bed.

All the food we had was excellent and well priced. The free daily breakfast was also to a very high standard.

Would highly recommend this place. Easy 10/10.

Pros:

Nous sommes arrivés à Turtle Paradise en soirée et avons été accueillis très chaleureusement avec un verre d'arrivée. Nôtre hôte à directement contacté le turtle center afin que nous puissions participer à l'excursion pour aller voir la ponte des tortues. Elle nous à même accompagnée jusqu'au centre pour nous montrer le chemin et nous a prêté des lampes rouge !

À notre retour tardif des tortues, l'hôte nous a attendu et nos repas était prêts. C'était vraiment agréable, les repas etait très copieux et succulent, des repas simple et délicieux.

La chambre est spacieuse et équipée d'une clim, le lit était très confortable et tout était parfaitement propre !

Le lendemain matin, le petit déjeuner était très bon, avec probablement les meilleurs fruits qu'on ai mangé de tout notre séjour au Sri Lanka.

Nous recommandons fortement cet établissement !

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.
