We didn't book the hotel, we only ate at the restaurant and it was so great that we went also the day after. The white fish fillet was amazing and it matched perfectly with the garlic kankun (stir fried sea spinach with garlic). We loved the experience of enjoying great food, with cold beer, while seated at a table with out feet touching the sand. Highly recommended.

Their service was really good and food were super delicious. (Must try their 🍕😋😋) staff were really friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the stay there and hope to go next time also. Nice and calm beach. Highly recommended 🥰

I'll be clear and to the point about each aspect Rooms: were good except the last room on the 2nd floor..all other rooms were large and clean.there was also good water pressure and plenty of space. 9/10 Restaurant: the chairs are put on the sand and it sinks into the ground...can't eat properly or sit at table height. And some eating areas in the were closed but hopefuly only temporarily. 7/10 Food: lunch was tasty despite the awkward setting areas. 10/10 Pool: 4 and 1/2 feet depth and the chlorine amount was too high and we barely could open our eyes. 5/10 Tartaruga was good and the service was excellent. We were a party of 20 and the staff met our needs perfectly. And the prices on the bar and lunch was reasonable and competitive. Noteworthy points: • plugs are round pins mostly • goggles for the pool is necessary • bring ur own soap only •don't stay in the last room on the 2nd floor(31)

Went for 31st dinner set menu where they took more than 3hrs to get to the appetizer and only 1 of the 3 appetizers was given with a bland main course and a messy half of a brownie for dinner! We didn’t get the cocktail that was included in the menu! Ruined our night and charged the full amount like they had delivered all! Not a good place for locals! Please avoid !!!!!

The hotel is soooo beautiful and located right on the beach! Their restaurant has some of the best and most reasonably priced dishes around and the staff is absolutely amazing and super helpful!! And if you’re a female solo traveler or on a mini girls’ trip, honestly this is the place for you!

A beautiful luxury hotel at the beach. From what we could see, it is the best hotel in the vicinity, and the restaurant has the larges selection of both local and international dishes, and everything we tried was well prepared. The service was very good. We had the hotel breakfast, and enjoyed it. There was both local and internal dishes. The rooms were large, clean and made with quality furniture, mainly in dark hardwood. It had a nice, original feel to it. The bathroom was nice. Each room had A/C, a fridge and a safe. The balcony was nice and I enjoyed sitting and relaxing in the morning and evening. The hotel itself is quiet, but some nights it was possible to hear song from parties on the beach. The swimming pool was nice and quiet, and we enjoyed relaxing in it after bathing at the beach. The beach was clean and not too crowded, the water warm and clear. The waves were however very strong at the shore, and it became deep within a few meters, however we never felt unsefe. We went bathing at several different times, and it was always nice. At 5 am it was dark and quiet, the water was warm and nice and we could enjoy a clear view of the night sky. We were picked up by the hotel van for a fee (LKR 3,000/=) at the Galle Train Station, in a large van (5 guests and luggage).

We stayed 2 nights. Nice location, terrible breakfast (some fruits, toast with jam, that’s basically it). On the beach BUT the property needs some management and cleaning. Disorder on the beach spoils the advantages of location. The superior room we got (in the new part) was ok except for the bathroom: no ventilation results in permanent smell of wet dirty towel all over. The bathroom looks worn-off pretty much. There are much better hotels around (for the price of Tartaruga 110$/night/triple room).

Went to the restaurant here - the service was just awful. First and foremost, the food took literally forever to arrive, for example - such a simple dish as spring rolls took about 1,5 hours, which is, to put it lightly, a bit late for the “starter”. The waiter, also, was inattentive, the food was either plain or just bad (the lobster isn’t worth it’s price at all btw). Maybe it’s possible to enjoy your dinner here - that is if you’ve never eaten anything sweeter than a radish, as we russians love to say. For your own mental and physical stability - avoid this place at all costs.

Dissatisfied with the amienties and foods. Their meal portions are not adequate for the price, that they are charging and be careful when giving the orders to the waiters as well becasue they are tricky. The AC and the hot water shower in my room had not been working properly and the manager refuse to talk with us even we request from the front desk that we need to talk with him in-person to make our complaint. Will never recommend this place for anyone.

Went for dinner at the restaurant and loved it. Lovely place right on the beach. We ordered a burger and a pizza. Unfortunately my burger was a bit overcooked the first time but our waiter (in the green shirt) fixed this by bringing out a fresh burger which I found to be 100x better. The service was great overall and we would come back.

Beggars and beach vendors disrupted any bit of relaxation you may need. Pool is to the right of the main kitchen and behind another hotel's bar, smells bad and the view is compromised. The kitchen is also being renovated, construction noise! There was a huge festival when we arrived, the hotel never informed us prior but only on the day at check in. 100's of people walked through the property, the music and fireworks lasted past 5am. When we decided to leave the next day we were charged for the full 3 days. The experience was terrible and with this approach I can't see this hotel being in a better shape soon, a pity!

I love their local foods. Everything is freshly cooked. It's taking time, but i prefer to be patient to have good food 😋 Sesame rise, fried rise, and pork curry are my favorites here

Lovely place with beautiful view. Cocktails were awesome & nice food.

Worst tripping experience ever...Rooms were good but AC are not working, Hot water system is not working, and their restaurant is the worst, they serve just 200g of food per guest for about LKR 2000. Especially if you are a local never visit this place and you will end up with a total dissatisfaction. Poor amenities for the price paid. Especially food and other things mentioned above. Totally dissatisfied.

The hotel management was the best! So kind and humble I left my gold jewelry and they called right away telling me that I left my stuff at the place. 10\10

Amazing food and good location. When you finish they also bring water in a bowl with lime so you can wash your hands to remove any fish smell, they are very quick and we went there 2 times, both times the food was exceptional. Recommend it with closed eyes 😽

A great place for nice vacation. Spacious, clean and comfortable rooms. Situated just on the beach. Beautiful scenery. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Food is fantastic, too. Only downside is the parking. Otherwise a great place.

We stayed here for 2 nights with my family with yoyng kids. This was our first stay in Sri Lanka, and they made it very welcoming. We had an early flight, so we arrived there in the morning. They greeted us with fresh face towel and refreshing juice, and they made an effort to prepare the room as fast as possible. The staff is very nice, likes to talk to you and prepares everything you want. The location is perfect, right on the beach, and the pool is in the shade in the morning and afternoon, which is good because we couldn't get our kids out of the water. The only thing missing is that the sun beds are not close enough to the sea to watch the kids playing in the water.

We ordered chicken burger, sandwiches, tomato soup - all of them was terrible. The soup portion was very small. Also the waiter takes plates before we finished,bad service. I don’t recommend it👎🏻

The beach side dinner was one of the great memories to remember. The food tastes good and the service is great.

the first room we were provided smelt like smoke and we requested for another room which was better, however the all the bathrooms need renovation.

We had a wonderful stay at Tartaruga hotel. The staff at this property were all great!! The room was wonderful and clean. There is nothing not to like at this property. Great location. They also have a restaurant and food there were delicious.

Stayed at this Hotel. Rooms are big ,however following issues - Welcome drink not provided by staff as they first mentioned and then backed off quietly. - Premium Room was booked(. No.31) and not informed that TV was not operational prior booking . We stayed for two days without TV for our kid. We followed up with manager however issue not resolved. - A few Lizards were noticed at the time of checkin at 9pm. Later during the stay nothing was observed - For Room cleaning I had to remind Breakfast was good. Overall stay exepeince was not satisfied as the non functional TV services were kept hidden frim customer. We had to watch Cricket in Hotel lobby.

Made a reservation in the morning for the same day personally in the hotel for 2 nights. 2 hours later the reservation was canceled and we got a one night offer for a room of a lesser categorie. Not very guest friendly and reliable for a hotel in this price category.

I visited Tartaruga Restaurant, which boasts a beautiful seaside view. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I had a wonderful time, enjoying the sea breeze.

Good food for fair process would recommend the cocktails as we found those are good. Food is not the best we had in the area but value for money.! Good service oriented staff and our experience was good with them. Large area to sit and you can freely choose where to sit.

Let’s say I drove from Hikkaduwa to Unawatuna JUST for their Bacon Pizza and every minute of it worth it. I have only tried it once before and knew that’s the best in Southern after trying many pizza stops in everywhere in Southern And took two more pizzas home to Colombo, because by far the best bacon pizza I have had from Colombo and Southern. So yeah must tries - BACON PIZZA 🍕 and Margarita 🍕

The pizzaaa was yummy, must have!! Good vibes great music! The food was good over all. Was a bit dissapointed with the burger, it didn't have any sauce or any dressing. The bun was also not great.

Not recommend Crab curry is without crab meat. No claws, but 4 halves of the crabs at the portion Rice not included Charged 9000 rupees for 2 crab currys, rice and 2 drinks Anapa lovers can enjoy eating feces from shovel, I could not

Terrible customer service, they don't take orders. They don’t care if you need a juice or you want to order pizza, their weiters say “don’t come here”. I am living here for a few months and this is the worst service that I have ever meet in Unawatuna. Food is good but weiters are standing all day long near the bar and it looks like they don’t work at all!!! They just speak with each other and if you want to order anything, you will have to come on the bar and take an order, after that probably you will have to go to kitchen and take your food by yourself, but they are taking 10% of service to your bill, crazy. Waiting for the weiter can be more than one hour…

Beach club like vibes with great views of the Indian ocean. Chilled out hangout on the beach with access to a pool. Try their seafood pasta - huge chunks of sea food in a home-made sauce. Serves mean rice & curry options too. Great atmosphere for some sundowners and pizza by the beach.

Rooms were very nice, their food is excellent especially the pizza.

Good place at Unwatuna and facing the beach with a lovely restaurant. Hospitality of the staff is superb. Good food and overall a great experience.

Get the seafood platter with fish fillet, jumbo prawns, shrimps and calamari on butter sauce. Value for money!

Went to Tartaruga restaurant for a beer 🍺 .it's located in the beach side. Food was really tasty, but i'm not satisfied with the potion size.Friendly staff and good service. for a good experience try evening time.

I would say, they were beyond our expectations. Went on 15th and stayed for one night and they arranged safest and comfortable room for us(4 girls).They served us at their best and no complains at all. Food were delicious specially their Pizzas . We had lasagna and chicken pasta but they were not upto standard. Anyway I must thank their staff who treated us with greatest respect as locals although there were many foreigners. We wouldn’t have spent our vacation without any regrets unless their excellent service and hospitality. Will definitely visit again. Highly recommend for anyone specially if you are seeking a safest place for girl trip.

Always the best in Galle area.

Nice restaurant at the beach. Food and the service is excellent.

Great food Clean rooms and spacious Amazing location Very friendly staff very accommodating Almost on the beach so direct access Prominent place in unawatuna

I have been 2 nights in tartaruga hotel. The rooms were clean, very comfortable and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. Food was amazing, fresh and tasty. Best pizza i had in down south. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting downtown tartaruga hotel.

Went to the restaurant for dinner. The vibe and the ambience was amazing! Food and the selection was great. They actually had all the menu items we asked for (unlike other places) Coffee was really good. The staff was nice but a bit slow but it's not that significant.

Good location but poor service. Needs to improve on serving the locals. We were there for 2 nights but very poor service overall. Staff wanted to leave by 9 PM by leaving the dinner served to plates and on a table. In the morning, there were no staff until pass 9 AM to get a cup of tea or serve breakfast.

Spent 2 nights here in October. Quiet time. Staff helpful and the house manager took the time to introduce himself. Location is excellent. Our room was spacious and clean. Staff went out of their way to help on the basis they would be tipped. Can't complain about someone wanting to get ahead. Once you get past the sell you can have an engaging conversation with the locals. Happy to recommend this place.

We sat here for dinner… the staff was extremely rude… no manners… the way he spoke to take the order felt like… we should have not sat here only… while we still had just received our pizza he came can asked if we wanted to leave as they cant serve anything hereafter… this is at 7:20 pm in the evening…. No reason for such disrespect…. Avoid this place
