    Excellent location for participating in a turtle watch as it is just next door to the Conservation centre. Beach is very wild with a safe swimming hole at one end. Breakfast was fantastic. Due to our timing, arriving in the low season, there were only a few local facilities open, however the two restaurants that were, were extremely good and thoroughly recommend the Seafood Paradise for an awesome calamari curry and devilled prawns.

    1 min walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka, as well as the Turtle Watch Center. The room was clean and comfortable, the property is lush and very calm. Our host was exceptional, he helped us tremendously - my husband had stepped on a sea urchin, so he accompanied him to a local clinic and stayed with him for the entire hour making sure he was okay. The breakfast was also generous and delicious! We loved it so much, we can back even though we had booked somewhere else 🙏🏼

    A bit difficult to get hot water in the evening (but it's so hot it may not make a difference to everybody)

    Perfect location just a short walk away from the beach (and from Rekawa Turtle Watch, if you want to join them in the to see the turtles), very nice, comfortable and clean room, friendly staff who helped organising a taxi for the following day

    Bathroom needs some improvement. The room was very large but looked unfinished - small things such as missing bedside lamps. These are easy things that the owner I am sure will address asap. Overall very satisfied.

    Excellent place. The staff and the owner are exquisite. Beautiful set up and lovely garden to dine or have breakfast in the morning. 50meters from the beach, perfect to hear the sound of the wave while you enjoy a (fresh) fish meal.

    Warm welcome / very helpful staff / Spacious room in a nice style and comfortable beds / HUGE and delicious breakfast / a stone's throw away from the beautiful turtle beach which allowed me to stay very late during the turtle-watching tour without worrying about how to get back to the accommodation.

    The location is briliant if you want to stay on the beach with no people. The beach is clean and very long. We enjoyed also the waves. The owners are kind and nice they have restaurant as well so you can eat here breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is very good and we enjoyed fresh fruit and fresh juices. Recommend for stay longer than 2 nights like us!

    I would highly recommend staying here. It’s very beautiful and peaceful. We booked it to come and see the turtles nesting and it couldn’t be in a better location. It’s right next to the turtle centre and the beach. We also had dinner here and the food was amazing! I would really recommend. The staff are also so friendly and nice.

    Very nice place in quiet neighbourhood, 2 minutes walk to the beautiful and empty beach (the best beach we saw on the island). Good breakfast. Large and clean room, hot water and small tarrace. Close to the hotel there are some bars and restaurants- in one of them we ate the best food on our trip to Sri Lanka.

    It's not enough light in the room. Wi-Fi quality is not so good, it's necessary to have your own sim-card. Since Rekawa is a village, there are no shops or smth like this close to hotel. So rent a bike and you'll not have any problems with logistics.

    Personnel is perfect, a lot of requests can be solved quickly. Is located close to the beach (the nearest hotel in this area). No required time for breakfast as in large hotels - you can come at 12, and everything will be ok.

    The water was not warm, though in this weather it does not matter. After the rain the stairs were quite slippery

    Nice and quiet place for those who would like to breathe out and spend sime time in lonelyness. The beach is just in a 2-minutes walk, it is wide and long and you will be there alone most of the time. It is not possible to swim due to waves, though we enjoyed the energy of the place and long walks along the beach. There is a turtle place nearby, so in the very first evening we were lucky to see the new-born turtles going to the ocean. Very nice and welcome host Suranga who was really hospitable.

    The area is a bit remote so lacked good selection of restaurants nearby but that could be also due to low season when we visited

    The beach next to the accommodation is amazing, we were there during November and there were almost no people there. Although you can't swim due to big waves but we didn't mind as it was really beautiful to watch the ocean and enjoy the sunset. Property is ok, good value for money and we had a good stay overall. Staff is very nice and tries their best to accommodate you.

    Nothing!

    Everything! It’s quite secluded which makes perfect for the peace and quiet. It’s not a big hotel either which is more appealing. The staff are delightful, they were so welcoming upon my arrival and friendly. They couldn’t do enough for me - turtle watching, driver to Tissa, making sure I was happy with everything. The breakfast was wonderful and freshly prepared. Rekawa is quite remote but ideal if you’re looking for a slow pace. The turtle watching is literally next door and the beach is a 2 minute walk if that.
