The hotel is truly beautiful, and its beachfront location makes it even more special. The pool area is perfect for relaxing, and the room was stylish and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent — both high-quality and beautifully presented.

These are the nicest people in Sri Lanka. They go above and beyond for you, always going that little extra mile for no reason other than being kind. The place is amazing with it’s own pool and a short walk to a beautiful beach you will have almost all to yourself. The food they cook is also great, we highly recommend the grilled prawn or their rice and curry. My daughter had her birthday while we stayed here and they made her feel very special. We highly recommend this place to everyone, it is simply perfect. We will definitely return.

After staying at many small Sri Lankan independent hotel / guest houses, from the very north to the south this is undoubtedly the best. One of 2 reviews from me as most other being average: This place is perfectly run, perfectly maintained, great pool and great breakfasts! The evening restaurant offers a mix of Italian and Sri Lankan dishes and after a few weeks traveling nothing beats a homemade Lasagna with a glass of Red! The Beach at 2 mins away is also nr perfect. Even with the rough seas experienced on this coast there is a northern corner that is calm enough to enjoy a good swim. Well done team and Gaby, you run a great establishment. I hope to return with many friends. T

Talalla Bay Beach far exceeded my expectations—something I don’t say often. This is the kind of place where shoes are unnecessary, and the beach is just steps away from your room. I was lucky to stay in a top-floor room with an unrivaled view of the bay, falling asleep to the soothing sound of waves each night. The hospitality here is exceptional, radiating the warmth and authenticity of a true Sri Lankan welcome. From the moment we arrived, the host and staff made us feel completely at home. The beach itself is breathtaking—perfect for a scenic run, with sun loungers thoughtfully provided under large umbrellas. While the sea isn’t the best for swimming, it’s still great for a refreshing dip or catching a few waves. Dining here was a highlight. Thomas, the chef, owner, and host, curated an incredible menu that left us impressed, and the service was flawless. Breakfasts were equally outstanding—among the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. This property is a true find, offering incredible value for money and an atmosphere of tranquility and romance—perfect for couples seeking a quiet retreat. Without a doubt, one of our best stays in Sri Lanka!

Mirissa (Near Dondra East)

Wonderful gem in Mirissa. I ended up staying here last minute after checking out of another hotel and this place ended up being the perfect retreat, so much so that I stayed an additional night. The building is a wonderful renovated property and backs out onto the beach. Perfect for sunrise and sunset walks as well as watching the sea turtles swimming in the afternoon. The room was big and comfortable, with all required amenities. The food was delicious; breakfast and dinner with the ocean waves in the background. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Would gladly return!

I stayed at Royal Villa Polhena as a solo female traveler from Russia and had a wonderful experience. The villa is clean, quiet, and just a few minutes’ walk from Polhena Beach, with friendly and helpful hosts who made me feel completely safe. It’s close to the highway and bus stop, and Madiha Beach and The Doctor's House are within walking distance. I would highly recommend this villa to solo travelers excellent value for money ! 🙌🙌
