Great for chilling before or after your safari

Reviewed By jonathanwstern83

This is a superb place to chill out before or after a safari or long journey. We really appreciated the pool and garden, complete with monitor lizards and lovely flowers. The restaurant was top notch and staff extremely friendly especially to our toddler. The chicken curry was particularly good. All in all, a great package!

Sea Rock Villa

Sea Rock Villa rocks!!

Reviewed By 164glenisw

I just want echo Laura's review below. This was a special family holiday to celebrate my Big birthday. We really wanted it to go well and chose our accommodation carefully. What a great decision to go to Sea Rock. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The 10 of us had the best time and have brought home so many wonderful memories. The staff were so helpful and accomodating in this perfect location. Our room was right there by the pool, lawn and amazing beach. We enjoyed a wide variety of tasty food, the kids and Chris particularly loved the chocolate milk shakes as we watched the stunning sunsets over the sea. It was all clean, well maintained and we had a very personal service. Easy Tuktuk rides to Bentota though we were very reluctant to leave the hotel it was so quiet and relaxing after our tour of the island. A perfect end to a brilliant holiday.

Amazing place where the time stops...

Reviewed By Sandun_d_geographer

Taragala Chalets in Kalamatiya nicely isolated us from the busy world, although it was not far from the main road. The time really stopped for us though the two nights we spent there were too short a stay to enjoy the full spectrum the venue provides. The serene beauty of the lagoon from the resort with no sighting of a single man-made structure, the diverse bird-life, Taragala rock outcrop, clean and white Kalametiya bearch, Freddiie the peacock, huge mud crabs who come out in the night to watch us, comfort at the charming chalet with all necessary amenities and traditional Sri Lankan food with a unique southern touch, when added with Saman's warm hospitality made Taragala Chalets an amazing experience to our family...

Riverside Cabanas

Rinerside Cabanas are situated at Mirissa, southern coastal line of Sri Lanka. It's only 100m (3 minutes walk) away from the beautiful Mirissa beach, yet with nicely landscaped garden and tranquil surroundings, and so you are away from Colombo-Matara road traffic noise and sometimes beach hazel. Riverside Cabanas have both AC and Non AC rooms and its specious restaurant caters both local and western food at an attractive price.

Beware

Reviewed By Pedro S

We walked in off the street and ran into Roy the propietor. After a bit of negotiation we settled on a price. Unfortunately, although he accepted our offer, during the entire stay he would constantly remind us of how good a price he gave us, he would try to get money from us in any other possible ways. Then - found about this when we left - that he was being very inappropiate towards my girlfriend. Of course always when I wasn’t around. And last but not least, obliged us to check out 1 hr before checkout was due. NOT RECOMMENDABLE!!!!
