Turtle Bay Boutique Hotel

Lovely hotel, the most friendliest of staff! The hotel is new so expect some glitches but other than minor things - great! we paid a great price, and definitely were pleased with what we got. Location is great since it’s a bit removed from the center. Allowing you some peace and quiet in the evening when traveling with kids.

We had the most relaxing stay at Turtle Bay Resort. Staff , food, beach, pool, and room were all welcoming and comfortable. Went on a gentle early morning bird watching boat experience in the adjacent wet land which we also highly recommend.

Do not hesitate to stay here, it is an amazing small hotel. Wonderful wild beach and plenty of shady areas in the garden with loungers. Tea and snacks brought with smiles! Prawns to die for served beside the pool lit by glittering fairy lights. Wonderful staff who couldn't do enough for us. Dawn boat ride at the bird sanctuary a must and fishing harbour very interesting. Both 5 minute walk away. Love to all at Turtle Bay.

We spent two nights at this wonderful small hotel. Room was tastefully furnished and the bed incredibly comfortable. Staff were kind and friendly and the location idyllic. Kalametiya is a lovely spot with a near deserted beach, tranquil atmosphere and busy fishing harbour to explore.

This is such a superb, friendly boutique hotel in an amazing location. The staff are excellent (especially Rajitha - every hotel should have a Rajitha ;-)). With 7 rooms its almost like a homestay - simply yet beautifully presented. The food is amazing and its located on a beautiful and very quiet beach. This is a place to come to rejuvenate and chill out and as a real bonus, it's incredible value for money!

We got recommended Turtle Bay from a friend who had stayed there years ago and were able to spend four days there during our trip this February. We were already looking forward to it before arrival. And we can truly say that our stay went even beyond our expectations. Firstly, what we really loved is the location. Much less exploited tourist-wise, although there are good options restaurant- and activity-wise around. Secondly, the hotel is absolutely charming, with few rooms in authentic Sri Lankan style and amazing views on the sea. Beautiful restaurant, pool and garden area also. Thirdly, and most importantly: Their fantastic staff. The chef and his team cooked amazingly, probably our best meals on the entire trip. Highly recommend the Sri Lankan curry selection and the sea food suggestions. They even organized a special Sri Lankan street food evening with Kottu Roti, as we had not tried it before. All staff was absolutely wonderful and our maitre Raji was simply amazing. We also did several ayurvedic treatements with Chandrani, which we can absolutely recommend. And Yoga with Amal, who is excellent too. We had our rooms prepared every day with beautiful flowers. Everyone was so kind and made us feel immediately home. Will definetly visit again when back in Sri Lanka! Thank you Turtle Bay team for making our stay magical!
