Whilst there were some issues with our booking in relation to the details within the advert for the hotel which we have now resolved with Expedia, we still want to leave a positive review. The staff were absolutely amazing and were so accommodating, and in particular Arutha (food and beverage) delivered the best customer service we have experienced in a long time. We really felt like he could not do enough and was a pleasure to be around each day. It was my friends 50th and they pulled out all the stops for the evening even though it was New Year’s Eve. They made an amazing cake and decorated the room which was really lovely and I’m grateful to the manager for his/his teams efforts. The beachside bar and pool is in a beautiful location and the beach is amazing. It’s about 15 minutes in the shuttle to get there but is worth a visit. The chef made some really tasty food and as a vegan I appreciated the extra effort he went to. Whilst the fixed menu wasn’t really what we had hoped for, I have to say most of the dishes were lovely. The chef took the time to come and speak to us which again was appreciated. Whilst the Ayurveda treatments were not what we wanted, the manager assisted us as much as he could, and for that we were grateful and believe the hotel deserves a positive review for the time, effort and service the staff gave us.

Ich hatte das Vergnügen 8 bezaubernde Nächte in diesem wundervollen Hotel zu verbringen. Das Zimmer ist stilvoll eingerichtet und hat einen unglaublichen Blick auf den See. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und spricht einwandfrei Englisch. Beim Frühstück kann man Wasservögel und andere Tiere beobachten. Das Abendessen idt auch sehr lecker, die Süßwasserschrimps sind nur zu empfehlen. Fitnessraum und Pool sind in einem sehr gutem Zustand. Eine vom Hotel organisierte Safari habe ich ebenfalls in Anspruch genommen und hatte das Glück Leoparden, Elefanten und weitere Tiere im Yala Nationalpark zu sehen während andere kaum welche gesehen haben. In der Region mit Abstand das beste Hotel.

Quiet, laid back hotel in a great location.

The No Name Rest is in a great location only about 200 metres from the Unawatuna Beach. Also it is off the very busy main road so quieter than a lot of places in the town! John the Australian owner/manager is very friendly and helpful. The service and breakfast were a bit laid back but OK.

Chill Out At Thaulle Resort

Marvellous stay at Thaulle Resort, which is convenient for both Yala and Bundala National Parks = both of which are amazing. The Reception team were very friendly and check-in straightforward. Our room was not large but comfortable, with a great view over the lake. Decor was tastefully style, verging on the cool. Thaulle Resort also hosts a spa which many of the guests used and there is a very chilled atmosphere. The food was great and fair value - excellent curries and Western options. Dinner is outside in a romantic setting. Wine is expensive compared to all hotels that we stayed in = some 5 star. A fair sized pool but in a lovely setting and never.crowded. It was never a problem to get a sun bed in the well planted gardens. In summary a relaxed, tasteful, boutique hotel with great staff and a very pleasant atmosphere. I do not hesitate to recommend..

Room service closes at early time 11:pm compared to other hotels which is 24/7. Room was clean, however, many insects where there so they should put something to keep away those insects. We where couple and they offer us two single beds sticked to each other which was horrible. Breakfast fast was very very limited. Our building is up to 4 floors and there were no elevator. Welcoming was good stuff were friendly. Nice lake view. Dinner food was average.

Hotellet var som vi föreställt oss, fräscha rum med fin utsikt. Tyvärr erbjöd inte restaurangen så mycket, priserna var väldigt höga jämfört med generella restauranger på Sri Lanka och portionerna var mycket små. Vi var mycket besvikna på restaurangen och det är 4 km in till närmaste stad, där det inte heller finns några ”turistanpassade” restaurangen. Frukosten vad dock ok men med långsam service. Vi bodde på hotellet under två nätter, kan inte rekommendera att stanna fler nätter då det förutom Yala nationalpark inte finns mycket att göra.

we checked in and staff were unusually nicer than one would expect, this continues for the rest of the afternoon , was very strange. over dinner we were watching people have these wooden boxes on their tables with their names on them... again this is werird. turns out the hotel had attached to it some kind of wellness/spiritual centre where people book in for weeks at a time to have some sort of spiritual cleanse, the boxes had medication in them. I didnt feel threatened by it at all, but i felt this should be kept seperate from the hotel, the staff and people from the retreat were walking around like they were high on life , the doctor from next door was present at dinner talking to patients etc.... i knew something was up when we checked in. anyways that should be all kept seperate in my opinin, hotel itself was beautiful and the chef and food were some of the best i had in sri lanka.... jumbo prawns give them a try . one more beef was i booked a yala park safari, i was told that the section we went to wasnt as full of animals as the main blocks one or two... i got into jeep and the driver basically said you will have zero chance of seeing an elephant today... ruined my day and i got 5 hrs of bird watching, thats fine if you know what you getting into but I was not told this and really only went for elephants.
