    The location is excellent if you want to see the turtles nesting. The hotel staff was amazing, very kind and attentive. The room was very comfortable and the food was delicious. We had both breakfast and lunch there, and everything was perfect.

    Outstanding! Great staff, facilities and location, really close to the Rekawa Turtle Beach. We spent one night here and would have easily spent more time. Relaxing and friendly environment. Totally recommended!

    Wonderful stay! Rukman, Ayesha and their son were amazing hosts, very lovely and attentive. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious! We had dinner too which was also great so we decided to have lunch there as well the next day. Rukman is such a good cook! We stayed only one night to visit Turtle Watch and see natural turtle nesting. If we had more time in Sri Lanka we would have definitely stayed at Turtle Paradise longer. Rekawa is a beautiful and peaceful village. We went for a stroll at sunset and saw so many beautiful birds. The next day we wanted to visit the lagoon to look for more wildlife and Rukman offered to take us and show us around. He and his family are such good, genuine people. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you 🙏

    Everything was perfect!

    We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, and the room was spacious. We stayed on the top floor, which provided a great view and a nice balcony where we could relax. The host made us feel comfortable and welcomed us from the moment we arrived. She was incredibly kind and attentive; her hospitality truly made a difference and added a personal touch to our experience. The breakfasts were a feast, and during our two-night stay, we enjoyed a different selection of food each morning. Another bonus is that the homestay is just a few minutes' walk from Rekawa Beach, where you can join a turtle-watching tour. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and friendly place to stay.

    The turtle conservation area was close, the room was big and there was a hot water in the shower. Breakfast was included in our stay and was fine, not very big but fine. The host was friendly and allow us to check out 2 hours later. Amazing location if you want to visit the turtle conservation area!

    the room privacy - basically if you have curtains open to get some light into the room anyone who is walking outside can see you - we paid for the balcony which was basically the outside area, that everyone has access to, so i think it was not fair deal as you are paying additional money for having a balcony you cannot really swim in the ocean at the beach nearby, so it's nice place to stay for a night or two to observe turtles

    It is a countryside small resort, where locals have nice cosy hotels because of the turtle beach attraction. In the daytime you feel like beeing alone in the hole massive beach. Sad that the waves are too big to swim, however the sound of the ocean lets you meditate with the nature. The hotel is simple and coay at its best! Some facilities could be improved however it doesn’t not irritate. Staff very friendly, food delicious and not expensive.

    Lovely stay very close to the beautiful beach. Really lovely hosts and comfortable and relaxing room with a beautiful view. The best thing is you get the whole beach to yourself early in the morning… it’s not for swimming but the waves are awesome.

    Though I did appreciate disconnecting for a bit, as a solo introvert it was difficult not having WiFi connection in the room.
