    no swimming pool, but we went to Buckingham Place, next door... no stairs to rooms, and when it's very hot...

    a/c in the room, and position, just 2 minutes walk to Rekawa beach and Turtle centre. The evening there with "turtle experience" is great ! fruit juice welcome drink good mattress with mosquito net, normal bathroom, hot shower

    Nothing - we had everything we needed.

    Closer to everything - beach, rock pool, and safari. The staff was wonderful and nothing was too much trouble for them. I would definitely come back again.

    No tea or coffee in bedroom.

    Turtle Paradise was in an amazing location beside Rekawa turtle beach. It had the friendly atmosphere of a hostel, but also had private rooms with super comfortable king sized beds and en suite bathroom. We ate at the hotel both nights, dinner cooked by the lady of the family. Very delicious and cheap. Her son drove us to our next stop. Altogether, incredibly helpful and so lovely sitting in the dining room/ living room playing board games and chatting with other travellers. Would highly recommend.

    The bathroom could have been cleaner, lots of bugs and a frog at one stage.

    Family run. Great location near turtle conservation. We were greeted with fresh papaya juice. The room was spacious with mosquito nets and AC. The breakfast the next morning was fantastic - fresh fruit, tea/ coffee and rotti with Dahl. Everyone was very friendly and attentive.

    Wifi is hardly working on top floor. Place is a bit isolated so it was hard to get a taxi to bus stop, but son of the owners was so helpfull to bring us with his car.

    We most liked all the acrobatic tours the squirrels make in and around this paradise. Lovely views, spacious room and great balconies.

    We simply had the best time in Rewaka and really enjoyed our stay at Turtle Paradise. The family who owns the place are so sweet, friendly and helpful. And the food were the best, we had in Sri Lanka. We highly recommend that you try Aisha’s excellent curry. As an extra bonus Turtle Watch is only a 5 minute walk away. Our only regret is that we just stayed for 2 nights, next time we will for sure stay for a whole week.

    We had a few power cuts on the first day but this seemed to sort itself out for subsequent nights.

    Perfect location for watching the turtles at night. Very peaceful and quiet location away from the main tourist areas. Lots of local eateries serving amazing food. The hotel itself served amazing food and even baked a cake to celebrate my son's birthday. The hosts were lovely and very helpful.

    It is quite isolated which is a strength and a weakness.

    I had a lovely room. The hosts were kind and helpful. They take credit cards (which is a bonus to me). Very close to beach that has very few other people, it's quite isolated.
