Perfect place in the perfect location”
The best thing about Turtles Rest is the friendly staff and how welcome they make you feel. We also met the owners, who were great. The hotel is situated right in between the two beaches so you have easy access to everything. Giant Sea Turtles are a two minute walk away from the large front garden. We fed them by hand with seaweed. An unforgettable experience and would 100% recommend this place to anyone travelling to Hikkaduwa.
Best place for a budget traveller”
We stayed a night in this hotel. Turtles and correls are in walking distance. Rooms have basic facilities. WiFi is only available in the lobby. Foods are absolutely good and price is reasonable. There are number of good restaurants in walking distance as well. Good for budget travellers.
best location”
one of the best location i have been to , u can walk into the beach from the backyard , clean rooms and i recommend this place to all travellers..
Thank you Suman for your great review. You are most welcome to stay with us again. Hope to see you back again Manager Curry Bowl
Good location at the beach”
We stayed for 3 nights and had a good time. The breakfast they offer is good. Is located only 3 min walk to se the giants turtles. Many good restaurants in walking distance. Is so high humidity so the clothes & towels won’t get dry ether in- or outside. Only to remark: The cleaning was not good. You only get internet signal in the “lobby”
Does the job - good value for money ”
Lovely little place with great access to the beach.. you’re basically on the sand as you leave your room. Lovely!
It's near the sea. ”
The host is cute. It is in front of the sea, and near stores and restaurants. The light in the room isn't bright. The wifi isn't steady.
Welcoming ”
Very welcoming people. Right on the beach.
Quiet basic good location”
Nice basic rooms, has a bit of traditional Sri Lankan style about it, was in non ac and just about managed with fan only. Location is great chose it as 2 min walk from Dive For You, was very quiet during my stay and not much going on, so not great for solo traveller unless aiming for solitude. Didn't seem to be any food on the go but may have been overwhelmed by all surrounding restaurants.
Beautiful and helpful ”
We spend two night to stayed in this guest house.beach just behind the guest house so very easy to go and relax. Owner and staff was very friendly and help us more.
Beautiful Accomodation ”
Really nice stay in the best location. Beautiful building and amazing staff, very welcoming
Schildkröten um die Ecke ”
Das größte Highlight dieser Unterkunft sind die Riesen Schildkröten, die keine 20m von der Unterkunft entfernt, täglich am Nachmittag, an Land kommen. Die Unterkunft selber liegt ruhig, aber trotzdem nah am „Zentrum“ des Partyorts. Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit, für die Weiterreise hat uns die Unterkunft den Fahrer Upul organisiert. Die Fahrt zum Yala Nationalpark war preislich super fair und er hat sich super um uns gekümmert. Unser Zimmer war sehr alt und das Bad ziemlich heruntergekommen, aber für den Preis erwartet man ja auch nicht viel. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.
Super Lage!”
Das Hotel ist super gelegen. Man ist schnell am Surfspot und am Bade- / Schnorchelstrand und nur ein paar Meter vom Hotel kann man Schildkröten beobachten (wow!). Souvenirläden, Supermärkte und Restaurants befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das etwas hellhörige Zimmer ist gross und einfach eingerichtet. Für den Preis sollte es etwas sauberer und gepflegter sein oder Frühstück beinhalten.
Liebenswertes Hotel”
Das Hotel liegt sehr ruhig, aber trotzdem ist alles super zu erreichen. Zimmer sind sehr spartanisch eingerichtet und etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Curry ist sehr zu empfehlen.
Bellissima posizione direttamente sulla spiaggia. Hotel silenzioso e tranquillo, bel giardino.”
Accesso diretto al mare Bel giardino Zona silenziosa Personale gentile
值得推荐”
地理位置绝对没的说，前门是繁华的街道，后门是草坪连着大海，孩子超喜欢。屋内设施稍微简陋，但是干净整洁，卫生间的基础设施齐备，很满意了。
Отличный отель, с чудесным расположением!”
Отличный отель, приветливый, добродушный, отзывчивый персонал и хозяйка!Расположение-у побережья, на уровне лучших отелей!Сам по себе прост, но за эту цену-полностью себя оправдывает! Купили переносной мангал в маркете, персонал абсолютно не был против того, что на их территории жарят, рыбу и креветки! Рекомендуем этот отель для посещения людям, с не завышенными требованиями к номеру)
Hemtrevligt.....”
Ett mycket trevligt ställe där personalen bidrog till familjekänsla. Läget centralt med stränder strax intill. Vacker exotisk trädgård med hängmattor !!!! Vi bodde där i 3 veckor och kan mycket väl tänka oss att komma tillbaka. Personalen alltid tillgänglig........ både med råd och service. Ulf och Ewah
