Green turtle

Localização ótima, perto da praia e de restaurantes. Bom wi-fi. Cama king size e quarto espaçoso. Pequeno almoço ok mas demorado

Casa de banho não muito limpa. Foi bastante difícil comunicar com os funcionários por barreira linguística. Quarto pouco iluminado, era impossível ler dentro do quarto a noite

Alles gepflegt und super dicht am schönsten Strand gelegen!

Friendly staff. Tasty food. Excellent location. Close to beach and turtle watching.

Świetna lokalizacja blisko plaży z żółwiami :) sympatyczna obsługa wyśmienite śniadania :)

Złowię w niedalekiej odległości:)

The bed was very comfortable and the aircon was really good.

Helt fantastisk beliggenhed lige ved siden af green turtle center

Czysty przestronny i pachnący pokój do tego doskonała obsługa. Polecam serdecznie

Abbiamo scelto questa struttura per vedere la schiusa delle uova delle tartarughe! Esperienza bellissima e super consigliata! La struttura è a 1 minuto a piedi dalla spiaggia di Rekawa! La camera era pulita e molto grande! Il proprietario e lo staff molto gentili e disponibili! Colazione tipica dello Sri Lanka molto buona!

El sitio muy agradable, el personal muy atento y el desayuno, buenísimo

You can see the turtles at the beach (literally 1 min walk)

Staff were phenomenal. Kind and *super* helpful. Even managed to get me a birthday cake for my girlfriend's birthday. Stay here. See the turtles. Eat at the Hungry Dragon.

We had such a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind and caring. The breakfast was the best and most generous we’ve had on our whole trip – absolutely amazing! The location is perfect, right on the beach, and we even got to witness baby turtles hatching – a truly unforgettable experience. We also saw monkeys on our balcony and were surrounded by beautiful nature. Highly recommended!

Great breakfast. Nice apartment with comfy beds. Stunning area. Directly on the turtle beach, where we could observe big turtles in the night with the turtle-watch.

Great location right by the beach. Clean room and always hot water in the bathroom. I highly recommend this place. Very tasty food served by the host at Best One Family Restaurant.

Clean and spacious room in a lovely garden setting. So close to the beach you could hear the roll of the waves.Suranga was really helpful and welcoming . He prepared a tasty dinner for us before we joined an evening turtle watch.

The owner was very kind, very helpful and a great chef! The location was also really nice for people - like me - who are searching nature and peace

Spacious room, sea view, clean, a/c & frodge, staff very willing to help and please, location, easy access beach.

Nothing

The owner of the accommodation is a very kind guy with a huge sense of hospitality. There are only four rooms, and it’s really close to the amazing Rekawa Beach. From our balcony, we could see the ocean hidden behind palm trees. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was perfect, and we were offered the widest variety of foods during our entire stay in Sri Lanka.

As typical for Sri Lanka the bathroom was a little bit humid, but the room itself not!

Perfect location

Would’ve been nice to have a kettle in the room

I really liked the Green Turtle Hotel! The location is just perfect — less than a minute's walk to the beach, and you're right by the ocean. We stayed in a large room with a terrace, which was great for relaxing. The mattress and pillows were comfortable, so we slept really well. The hot water in the shower always had good pressure. I especially want to mention the food. The breakfasts and lunches prepared by Suranga were absolutely amazing. Every evening we had fresh fish and squid — everything was incredibly tasty. Suranga, the host of the hotel, is a very friendly and cheerful person. He’s always ready to help, and it’s a pleasure to talk to him. He creates such a warm atmosphere that you feel right at home. People usually come here to see the turtles, but we stayed for a whole week and didn’t regret it for a second. We didn’t want to leave, and we’re already planning to come back for a longer stay. I highly recommend this hotel — it’s a great place for a vacation!

Green Turtle is the best hotel in Rekawa. If you want paradise beaches away from the bustle of the city, this is your place. The host is always helpfull and he answered all our requests with a big smile. He can help you to order a tuktuk with reasonable prices to go to other beaches or places in Tangalle. In the hotel area there are many restaurants and they have also finished the renovations in the hotel own restaurant. The room and the bed were very comfortable. The shower is in the middle of the bathroom but the floor dries very fast. Finally, breakfasts are amazing.

For saying something, some finishing in the facilities could improve. For example the WC was not completely fixed in the floor so it moves when you sit on it. Not any big problems anyway. Also, the bed didn't have mosquito net, however we don't have any mosquito bites.

location is the best value of the property, the beach is only few steps ahead and completely isolated, paradise!

the lights in the room were just terrible, half of them broken and the ones that worked were so low, we were not able to see anything. The breakfast was bad.

De locatie, voorzieningen

Very nice little hotel and restaurant just a couple meters away from beautiful, clean and almost empty beach. Great breakfasts and delicious food in restaurant + possibility of watching sea turtles at the beach makes this place one of the nicest and most relaxing spots we visited in Sri Lanka.

WiFi could be bit better. Otherwise nothing.

We like so much the place and the warm welcome of Suranga The breakfast was absolutely delicious and Suranga helped us with everything we needed,so helpful Fantastic place,I highly recommend

Very close to the beach, surrounded by nature, very friendly and helpful host, highly recommended, great breakfests

Very clean room and besides beach. You can have a very peaceful walk in the beach. At night, you can join the tour to see the turtle laying egg.

None

So close to the beach! Excellent price and decent breakfast would recommend 100% beach here is beautiful and right next door to turtle sanctuary where you can pay to watch them lay eggs at night time

Restaurant was being renovated and the lighting in the room was poor

Breakfast was really delicious. Something different than in others places. The beach near the hotel is pretty, big, not crowded, no trash. Simply beautiful.

- leaking sink in the bathroom, so when you are using, all bathroom is in water - you should better take care of the dogs nearby, just give them a fresh water, it’s not that hard

Great stay , amazing breakfast . Good location for the beach . Clean room and the staff were very nice

We came here with my Sri Lankan family and it was wonderful! A couple of recommendations to the owner regarding bedroom lights but it was clean and very comfortable with an excellent breakfast! So close to the beach. Suranda was incredibly helpful even when we asked to leave at 4.30am he was there with a smile making us breakfast!

Nothing

very clean and nice

I highly recommend this hotel! The location is perfect – close to all the main attractions and charming spots. The breakfast is a real treat – fresh, varied, and always delicious. The hotel staff deserves special recognition – friendly, helpful, and always smiling. Thanks to their professionalism, we felt truly pampered. We will definitely be coming back!

Everything was great, all people around were very nice people, tasty breakfast, pleasant place. I higly recommend. Thank you very much, Suranga.

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.

Beautiful place, with gorgeous view and amazing food!!! Definitely worth recommending :)

Great location near beach, turtle watch Rekawa and a number of restaurants. Great breakfast they made adjustments to make it vegan

Onside Restaurant was closed and nearby restaurants were intermittent in opening. Order evening meals in advance

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 🙏🏼

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

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

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.

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.

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.

hammocks on the balcony or in the central garden would be nice :)

You can walk bare foot to the the turtle beach

Fantastic, friendly and very dedicated hosts Very good breakfast Excellent location - 2 minutes walk from the beach. Reasonable price

Sometimes water was a bit chilly (in tropical climate it wasn't a big deal)

The place is wonderful, one step from a wonderful beach and the turtle watching experience. The room was clean and comfortable and the dinner was good. The host is kind and helpful

The host could improve a little bit his english, even if we made it to understand each other

Really nice hosts. Location is perfect and really close to the beach and to see the turtles at night.

Great location, just a short walk to the wonderful beach (although the powerful waves and rip tide make it unsuitable for swimming). Large room with nice terrace. Lovely soft, fluffy towels (best so far in our 6 weeks traveling in India and Sri Lanka). Nice breakfast (western).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Location Rooms Food

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.

Nothing!

Amazing cozy quiet hotel 5 min walk from really nice beach. Extremely nice personal and service.

we slept very well by hearing ocean waves.

All perfect

This is the best accomodation in Srí Lanka. The host is super friendly, the room is clean and the bed is comfortable. Best value for this price. Near from the beautiful beach. Highly recommended!!!

Very good and quiet homestay close to à gorgeous and paradisiac beach where turtles are coming for eggs.

Beautiful hotel located on a natural and quiet beach. Great breakfast. The owners are extremly Kind and helpful, even fixed my boyfriends shoe!! Highly recommend it!

The location of the accomodation was perfect, situated 100m away from the beach which could be seen from the balcony. The room was clean and cosy. We had a delicious and rich breakfast and the staff was friendly and helpful. In November it was only possible to take a dip in the sea due to the big waves but just sitting on the nearly empty beach was also a delight. Nearby there are many restaurants selling fresh and tasty sea food dishes. The place itself is quiet and not too crowded by tourists which we really enjoyed.

Amazing location, very friendly & helpful owner. Went the extra mile to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

The owners are super friendly and kind. Willing to do anything for guests. We left some clothes behind and they brought them to us at our next hotel! The location is directly at the turtle nesting site.

Difficult to keep ants out of room. No restaurant at the property but just a 2 min walk to delicious home cooked meals. We were there in monsoon season and ocean was VERY rough (we are Australian so used to big surf but this was next level!)

Perfect location to see the turtles nest on the beach! Closest location to Turtle Watch. Rooms were large, super clean and a hot rain shower. Lovely family that runs the place. Could not have wished for a better stay!

All was perfect.

Excellent breakfast

location to turtles and beach

the location is perfect to go see the turtles at night, it’s just less than 5 minutes walking from a nice beach where you can be alone. really nice host, and helpful

We had a wonderful rest here after a round trip in Sri Lanka. Excellent location right next to the turtle observation center (egg-laying period from February to May), about 100 from the beach - but because of the waves I recommend going about 500 m to the natural pool in the rocks. Hospitable hosts, very helpful in gaining access to local attractions - I recommend a trip to the bird sanctuary (about 10 km). We were impressed with the exceptional breakfasts.

there could be clothes hangers in the room

Perfect location to see the turtles, they are „next door“ at a beautiful beach. Nice little restaurants within walking distance. Great, very clean room with balcony and AC, fan and fridge. Great shower. Nice breakfast. We got an upgrade, since the room with sea view was not booked. Thank you! Very friendly guys, we wish you all the best!

Nothing

Location of the property is just perfect. 2 minutes form beautiful beach, very quiet around. Lovly nature and very helpfully stuff.

Power cuts is the only issue especially when they happen while you are taking shower ;-) Have alternative light sources prepared.

Good breakfast. Really nice owner! Very clean rooms.

Brillant place, very quiet anf well located near the beach and the turtle Center. The Hosts were very helpfull, Tanks a lot

We loved the location next to a fantastic beach where you can see turtles laying eggs in the evening. It is very quiet and at night you can hear the sea. The room has a good size, big comfy bed and we loved the balcony with seeview/ meadowview. Every day the friendly owners made us a different breakfast. There are also several nice restaurants in the neighbourhood with fantastic seafood. They have 2 bikes that you can use for free. Fantastic place! We didn’t want to go home!

Fantastic location, great rooms and the brothers that run this hotel are really nice, we will be back for sure!

Lovely big first floor room enquire, everything worked. The best breakfast I've had in my 2 week stay. Right next to the Turtle Sanctuary and just yards from the best beach in Sri Lanka. In the palms trees so lots of wildlife which might disrupt. I want to return.

Nothing that was in control of the staff, they were super friendly and helpful. OK

Everything has been perfect! The owner made everything to make us feel well! The room was very clean and quite and the breakfast was super good! We also could see the small turtles going to the sea! We decided to stay more days! I really recommend it!

Nothing!

this place is great. The hotel has nice rooms with balkony and it is very clean. The location is ideal, directly next to a beautiful and lonely beach. Also the station to see wild turtles is directly next to the hotel. The best part however is the friendly owners (two brothers) who make really every wish possible. We highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

Beautiful place with big rooms and balcony. You can see the sea from the balcony. The host is super helpful! And the breakfast was good! The beach is only 1 minute walk and is magnificent.

Nothing

Very friendly and helpfull owners (two brothers).

if you are looking for a way to be surrounded by the best idyllic and secluded beaches and nature this is the best place. Very comfortable rooms, nice breakfast, very kind owners, two brothers. In the evening you can see the turtles coming on the beach to lay their eggs. Very special. it was an unforgettable experience.

nothing!

You can get very good friendly service. And the delicious breakfast is delicious. You can reach the turtle observation point in a few minutes. It is a very beautiful sight. The room they gave us is very comfortable. The bathroom is very clean and good

Nothing to dislike
