AT ONE - with Nature Glamping, Rekawa

This property was amazing, gave a feeling of staying in an urban jungle. Every morning u can hear peacock sound, and very peaceful place. Close to turtle beach however we couldn’t see any turtle when we went, it depends on ur luck and timing.

They had a small pool, and the large pool was chargeable.

La tienda era muy hermosa y muy cómoda

Todo perfecto

Beautiful tents, lovely peaceful area, very short walk to the turtle beach and even shorter walk to the lagoon. Anoja and her staff were incredibly helpful and kind, nothing was too much trouble for them.Food was also wonderful and plentiful, I couldn't ever finish my plate.Very fair price for what you get.Highly recommend staying here and if you find the plunge pool too small (I found it perfect) you can always arrange to swim nextdoor.The whole staff really care about their guests and make it a very happy pleasurable stay.

No complaints

The glamping tent was fairly basic but reasonably comfortable and had a fan, air conditioning and a clean bathroom. It is very dark inside though so not a place you would spend much time. The setting in a small garden was quiet. The manager Anoja was friendly and helpful and a good cook. Great view over tree tops to the lagoon from the second floor restaurant.

The advertisement for this property shows that it has a pool, which is not the case. The lovely swimming pool pictured belongs to the next door hotel and At One charges approx. 1,700 LKR per day for guests to use it. While the staff, mainly Anoja the manager, are nice, the owner of the hotel was there during our stay and we quickly understood that he is not a nice man. I witnessed him (he did not realise I was there - and he was speaking in English as he is Indian and does not speak Sinhala) verbally abusing the hotel manager, and I mean ranting, swearing and telling her she is worse than useless. It is clear that this was a common occurrence. When we spoke to locals at one of the other places we visited in the village it seems that this man has a bad reputation. We would not recommend this hotel for these two reasons. In our view, one would be much better off staying at Omkara Villas next door (the place with the pool) which has lovely staff, far nicer accommodation and a much nicer setting in a tranquil garden and obviously with the pool and very nice restaurant.

Great location close to Rekawa Beach and several restaurants. Very friendly staff. The tents are really cosy.

The bed was making quite some noise and overall we felt the tents were too close to eachother. If you are an early sleeper, you need to wait until the rest of the people also decide to sleep.

Super tolle Unterkunft, schick eingerichtet und alle sind so herzlich. Hier fühlt man sich als Teil der Familie.

Das Glamping-Zelt ist mit allem nötigen ausgestattet und sehr gemütlich. Das BBQ-Dinner mit frischem Fisch war sehr lecker. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Den großen Pool, den man auf den Fotos sieht kann man nur gegen eine Gebühr von 6$ pro Tag und Person nutzen. Das war uns vorher nicht bewusst.

The staff were exceptional, by far the best service I've received in Sri Lanka. And the beach which is only 10 minutes away is stunning. In hindsight, I regret giving this a nine. I think it's really a 9.75!

If I was to be picky, one of the swimming pools in the photos is in another unit so you have to pay for a day pass. Having said that, I didn't go there for sitting by a pool!

We only booked for one night but extended our stay. It's a luxe tent, doesn't even feel like a tent. Kids liked it as well. Swimming pool from the neighbours is really nice. Nice quiet area with lagoon and beach close and super friendly owner and staff

Food is a little expensiver than at other places we were but they can make what you want. And you have to pay for using the swimming pool from the neighbours.

We stayed at AT ONE and absolutely loved it. Beautiful luxury tents surrounded by nature — peaceful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The people running AT ONE are truly wonderful: warm, genuine, and always supportive. The food was exceptional and full of flavor. A heartfelt, welcoming place. 10/10 — would return without hesitation.

The staff were great and the tents were nice and a good rooftop terrace restaurant

We were told we could use the infinity pool next door as there was an arrangement between the owners, but we ended up paying plus for some water we didn’t ask for

Super fijn gehad! Zelfs een nachtje langer gebleven. Manju heeft me mee op pad genomen om schildpadden te spotten en een night safari gedaan. Ook heeft hij heerlijke vis klaar gemaakt!

Niks.

Deze locatie ligt vlakbij het Rekawa Turtle Sanctuary (ongeveer 10 minuutjes lopen). De locatie heeft een hoofdgebouw met een aantal kamers/verblijven en met een dakterras dat uitkijkt over de omgeving en de nabijgelegen Lagoon. Daarnaast zijn er 6 glamping tenten. Wij huurden er 3 met 5 personen. De tenten zien er echt fantastisch uit. Zeer luxe en stijlvol ingericht, voorzien van alle gemakken. Er is een ruime luxe badkamer. Alles is nog erg nieuw. We werden ontvangen door manager Anoja. Zij had voor onze aankomst ook al met ons gecommuniceerd over de optie om er te barbequen op het dakterras (aanrader), en zorgde ervoor dat we ons met een welkomstdrankje meteen thuis voelden. De locatie zelf heeft een klein zwembadje waar je prima kunt afkoelen. Het grote zwembad dat je op de foto's ziet is echt de moeite waard, en ligt direct naast de locatie. Het is een supermooi zwembad waar je tegen een kleine betaling de hele dag gebruik van kunt maken. Via een korte wandeling kom je uit bij de zee. Er is een mooi en rustig zandstrand, met ook enkele rotspartijen waar je allerlei krabben, visjes, watersalamanders en heremietkreeftjes e.d. kunt zien. AT One medewerker Manju nam ons hier een hele middag mee naar toe om te zoeken naar een zeeschildpad. Hij wist waar ze kwamen eten van het zeewier. Met wat geduld zagen we ze inderdaad. Bijzonder vonden we het persoonlijke contact dat Anoja, Manju en ook de andere medewerkers met ons maakten. Ze namen de tijd voor een praatje en zelfs voor een kaartspelletje.

Great tent, very clean, fit our family in. Good aircon and bathroom. The staff kindly arranged for a guide to take us to Rekawa beach at night time to see the turtle hatching / laying. Delicious bbq up on the sundowner deck, great views of eagles whilst eating dinner.

Nothing

Everything was perfect. Anoja was a great host. Also all the stuff was kind and helpful. It's a great choice on Sri Lanka :)

The highlight of a wonderful trip in Sri lanka! The tents are beautiful and comfortable. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The location is amazing- wonderful views of the lagoon from the restaurant, a short walk to the beach, short walk to the turtle watching. They go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you could want or need. Try the BBQ, we regret waiting until our last night to try it. The portions are very very generous and everything cooked to perfection with a wonderful balance of flavours. The breakfast is also wonderful. 100% we will be back.

Nothing! Its the best!

The place is better than I expected with the tents being very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The host always friendly and very helpful.

My stay was too short

We loved our stay At One, it had almost family vibes! Staff were excellent, breakfast and dinner was beautiful. I would recommend this to everyone who is looking for a little bit different accommodation. Premises are kept really clean and tidy.

Nothing, I was happy with everything!

Beautiful brand new safari tents furnished like modern hotel rooms with TV, AC, minibar, safe lock etc. Nice sundown cafe overlooking Rekawa lagoon.

A pity that there is no pool available. The next door neighbour Omkara Resort featured a big event with lots of people and very loud music until 7 am. Despite complaints from us and the staff of At One the noise continued all night long which was unacceptable.

We had never been glamping before and weren’t sure what to expect. At One was a very pleasant surprise. The room had all the luxuries of a hotel and the surrounding are beautiful. We felt like we were on a luxurious safari in that nature and glorious wildlife was all around but we could retreat into a space with all the comforts and mod-cons we’re used to. The best of both worlds. The staff were very welcoming and offered great local knowledge and guidance on things to do. We visited the turtle sanctuary situated on the most glorious beach a few minutes walk away and regret not having had the time to explore the lagoon at the bottom of the lane. We’ll certainly be back.

There were no negatives.

"Real glamping" in a Sri Lankan paradise right by a huge Lagoon with the sounds and sights of nature all around is exactly what I came for. Triple protected tents with all the facilities you can imagine. This expierence was such a world apart from my life back in Europe. Thanks to all the wonderful staff that made my stay all the more pleasant. Especially the host JD who has an eye for detail. Should have booked afew more nights here.

Everything was perfect, pity I couldn't stay longer
