I left my heart in Talalla Retreat. Incredible staff who were so welcoming and hard working, the Retreat itself is stunning. I had an upstairs bedroom so was able to fully enjoy the surroundings. The food was incredible. I felt super safe. I didn’t want to leave. A must visit - and please do as the Sri Lankan people need visitors right now.

Nice property, simple rooms.
Overall a very nice property with a great location and a relaxed feel. Good and varied food. However, room standards even for the most expensive villas are extremely simple and has seen its best days regarding maintenance. In sum it seems a bit overpriced. The open air floors are very special and are not for every one's taste and comfort. Activities like surfing is extremely overpriced compared to what you pay elsewhere in the area. A specific negative to our stay: Just outside our bedroom window, for large portions of the day, the cleaners seem to locate their cleaning central for the sea view villas, "hanging out", storing cleaning appliances, gathering dirty towels and empty bottles and glasses etc on the ground. Visually not a nice sight and definitely compromising our privacy.

Peaceful and beautiful grounds
We loved the grounds of talalla retreat - absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The breakfast was fantastic and the spa facilities good, although a little on the pricey side. I was initially a little disappointed with the room itself as it was a little basic, but actually grew to like its simplistic style and open-air bathroom

Lovely stay!
Beautiful property-great massages and service. Talalla is a nice lovely clean long beach to stroll down. Stayed in an oceanfront bungalow which was fabulous but the mosquitos are NO JOKE so make sure to tuck your net in tight use repellent and light the coil! My only complaint was my fan like barely worked so was super hot at night as the wind died down but asked the staff for an extra floor fan which they happily provided. Food and drinks were excellent as well. Would highly recommend!

Talalla Retreat
Beautiful, serene location to relax, swim and practice yoga in a secluded retreat environment. The buffet breakfast offers fresh fruits and Sri Lankan options. We did not eat any other meal in the restaurant as it was fairly Westernized, however if you need a change up from curries etc, I'm sure this food would be fantastic. Expect to pay about $10 for drinks and $5 for coffee. Overall, a comfortable stay with the beach right on the back doorstep.

Special place.
Wonderful relaxing beautiful retreat feeling. The grounds and pool are magnificent. Our room was up near the trees so no breeze and had to close shutters in case of monkeys...made for a very warm night. Also one of the shared bathrooms needed attention. Food and staff excellent. Beach is exquisite with local fishermen offering boat rides for $25 US....well worth. Would recommend but try for room near beach for breeze.

Sehr schöne Anlage aber zuviel Fokus aus Yoga
Das Retreat an sich ist super. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Bungalows sind schlicht eingericht. Hier fehlt etwas der Charme. Die offene Bauweise lädt besonders im Sanitärbereich Mücken ein. Was nervt waren drei teilweise große Surf und/ oder Yogareisegruppen. Teilweise gab es Streit zwischen den Yogaklassen wegen den Locations. Doppelt oder Falschbelegung. Weiterhin sind solche Gruppen meist eine geschlossene Einheit. Als Individualreisender kommt sich da mitunter verloren vor, weil man kaum Gelegenheit hat, andere Menschen kennenzulernen. Die Yogazeiten der Privatklassen sollten eingeschränkt werden. Man muss nicht unbedingt halb sechs mit Yoga starten und andere Gäste durch Weckerklingeln oder das Singen von Liedern mit aus dem Schlaf reißen.

Overpriced & extreamly pretentious
Relaxing atmosphere and the staff were excellent, as is standard for the whole of Sri Lanka. However the rooms are so open to the elements that we had multiple lizards crawling along the bed frame and woke up to people peering in at us from their balcony. Along with this the food and related activities are rediculously overpriced for what they are.

Chill for a couple of days here
Don't come here for a week - come here for a very chilled couple of days. This is a retreat so don't expect a luxury hotel - it's a bit of a hippy vibe and quite stripped back/basic in some ways. However we had an excellent time as it was just what we needed at the end of a busy holiday - backing onto a beautiful, very quiet beach and with a lovely pool. We took advantage of the surfing, yoga and massages and left feeling very zen!

Hotel superbe sur la plage !
Nous avons passez 6 jours dans cette hotel pour finir notre séjour. Nous avions réservé une chambre devant la piscine, mais celle qu'on nous à proposé était à l'extrémité au bord de la route. Il a été très difficile de changer de chambre, mais après de longues discussions, nous avons pu avoir une autre chambre. Celle -ci n'était plus devant la piscine mais dans le jardin et en haut. Nous avons passé 4 jours dans cette chambre et avons dû changer à nouveau pour deux nuits dans une chambre en bas. J'avoue que je n'ai pas bien compris l'organisation de cet hotel... Attention toutes les chambres sont en "open space", il n'est donc pas toujours facile de se reposer, car beaucoup de famille viennent séjourner avec des enfants en bas âges.

Dyrt och snålt
Wi-fi funkar jättedåligt. Mat och dryck är medioker och dyr. Ca 70 rum men endast 17 solsängar vid stranden (inte på stranden dock, där finns inga). Frukosten var sådär, bra om man vill ha ris och curry, enda stället i landet antagligen som tar betalt för juice till frukost, kaffe, te och vatten ingår.

Beautiful setting, yet very premium pricing
The property is beautiful and we really enjoyed the yoga - however having travelled around a lot we were quite taken aback by the premium pricing on drinks for example (double everywhere else) .also Ayurveda massage was double the usual prices around albeit the facility was more upmarket. Surfboard rental was even 3 times more expensive than right on the actual surf spots. It partly seems to rip off people a bit who stay for a whole week only at talalla and don't actually compare. However that said the property is beautifully maintained and we had overall a great time!

Avkopplande
Vi bodde här i 2 nätter över nyår. Rummen va superfina, stor säng och stort badrum. Området i sig va stort och hade det mesta, pool, spa (mot en kostnad), yoga (mot en kostnad) och stranden precis utanför området. I spat hade de väldigt kunnig personal vilket är super! När vi checkade in fick vi veta att vi va TVUGNA att betala 65usd per person pga nyårsfirandet som bestod av grillbuffe, lite dans och eldshow. Till råga på allt fick vi ett bord där man inte ens kunde se showen vilket va ett stort minus. Lunch buffé kostar 10 dollar per person och va helt ok. Perfekt hotell om man bara vill slappa.

Expedia-Zimmerbeschreibung völlig falsch
Wir buchten ein "Bungalow" für 2 Nächte und mussten leider feststellen, dass die Expedia Zimmer Beschreibung überhaupt nicht stimmt. Im Hotel wies man uns ab und meinte dass sei Expedias Schuld und wir hätten sowieso Glück gehabt ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad zu bekommen, da wir eines mit Gemeinschaftsbad gebucht hätten (davon stand nichts in der Beschreibung). Vergleich Beschreibung und Wirklichkeit: - „Patio mit Blick auf den Garten“ -> Zimmer hatte ein Fenster kein Patio - „Separate Sitzecke“ -> nicht vorhanden - „Safe und Schreibtisch“ -> nicht vorhanden - „Bungalow“ -> das Zimmer befand sich in einem Haus, der Begriff Bungalow ist irreführend Unser Zimmer war sehr eng, außer dem Bett und einem Schrank hätte da nichts mehr rein gepasst. Es gab eine undichte Zwischentür zum Nachbarzimmer so dass man alles hören konnte. Die Surfboard Miete soll 30$/Tag kosten, teurer als in Hawaii (20$) und deutlich teurer als im Rest Sri Lankas (ca.800-1000LKR). Das Hotel hat auch noch schönere Zimmer und ist vor allem für Leute geeignet die das Rundum-Sorglos Paket wollen.

Tranquillity
Beautiful area, friendly staff, delicious breakfast and lovely al fresco rooms - almost like glamping! Perfect place for a long weekend relaxation with yoga, surf and ayurvedic massage. I also warmly recommend this place for solo female travelers, and it seemed that many guests kept on coming back to this beautiful place. A bit remote location, and pricey, if looking for an active holiday (90min surf lesson 50$, yoga 15$, lunch 10$, dinner 15$), but I enjoyed every second of my five day stay. I'll be back for sure!

Worst room ever. Rude staff. Misleading informatio
I had booked a bungalow with a desk, safety box, sitting area, wifi and garden view. Instead, I'm assigned a windowless room, with walls that don't reach the ceiling, no desk, box, seating area, wifi, hardly any place to move around or place our luggage, nothing! What they called a "bungalow " was a house-like building with all these rooms around a sitting area and a bathroom outside, around the building. Wifi is only available in the dining area. When I spoke with the manager about the booking, they said that's what they meant as a bungalow and the information in Hotels.com was mistaken. If I had booked through their website we would've known what we were actually getting. I was offered a better room for an extra charge. They were incredibly rude. When I demanded a cancellation and a refund, I was told it had to be done through the site. They "kindly" offered another room at the far end of the property, in the service area, overlooking the sheets and towels drying on lines and all over the floor. Totally disappointed. The hotel is on the beach but there is nowhere to be as the waves go up to the property. You have to walk several hundred meters to find beach to sit down. There are several hotels and guest houses close by so we later moved to another one for half the price. This hotel is overpriced and the information providedis completely misleading. I would never go back.

Hotellet har en smuk stor have, så man føler at man kan have det lidt for sig selv. Der er buffet morgen, middag og aften. Den er ok, men dyr. Værelserne er chamerende, og badeværelset er lækkert. Man skal dog være opmærksom på, at der er fri adgang for diverse dyr. Så opbevar ikke mad på værelset, medmindre I vil dele det med egern :) Ifht. yoga er det ikke værd at komme efter. Hotellet ligger ved en lang smuk strand. Vandet er dog ikke badevenligt i august måned. Der er ikke meget at fortage sig I Talalla, men der er fin mulighed for at tage på ture fra Hotellet.

Terrible resort, but very good yoga.
My wife and I went to Talalla for rest and some yoga. The yoga was very good and professional. However, the resort was a disaster. We booked the sea view rooms, which are their best rooms. The outdoor bathroom is nice, but the rest of the room is 4 off white walls, one wooden chair and a bed. The double seat outside was occupied by beach dogs at night, so we chose not to sit in wet, dog smell cushions during the day. There are no beach chairs. The restaurant is expensive and the food was bland at best. Added to that, the dining area is swarmed with constant flies.

Great chilled out retreat, incredible beach.
Loved our time here. We took the higher end room with air con closer to the beach. This meant we were away from the crowds by the pool (really not that crowded, could always find a couple of sun loungers and some shade) and had quick access to THE MOST AMAZING BEACH IN THE UNIVERSE. And I have travelled a lot and seen many beaches so this is a huge compliment. Unfortunately the yoga was possibly one of the worst classes I've ever been to and there was only one teacher on site at the time, and two independent yoga retreats staying at the resort as well. The classes are run two a day (7:30am and 4:30pm) and cost $15USD. Expensive for a 3rd world country and not a good quality teacher so was disappointed. But that's all part of it and I'm sure it was perfect for a different traveller to me. The restaurant only has buffet options really, and weren't cheap ($10USD for lunch, $15USD for dinner, all plus fees plus taxes or something) but were good quality. Mostly vegetarian with a couple of good proteins being grilled on the side (eg chicken and fish) but fantastic choice for the vegos for sure. Breakfast was included and delicious. Pool area was very nice and green. Wifi only in the restaurant/bar/pool area and very slow but free.

Ihana Talalla beach!
Isohko hotelli rauhallisella Talallan rannalla. Valtaosa vieraista jooga- tai surf-kurssilaisia. Monentasoista majoitusta, esim. hotels.comissa bungalowina ilmoitetut huoneet todella vaatimatonta majoitusta, jotka sopivat vain reppureissaajille (ei omaa vessaa tai kylpyhuonetta). Kannattaa vertailla annettuja huonetietoja hotels.comin ja hotellin omilta sivuilta. Muut huoneet näyttivät ulkoapäin mukavilta. Erinomainen aamupala ja myös hotellissa tarjoiltu illallinen (buffet) oli tosi maittava! Mahdollisuus joogaan ja surf-opastukseen, muuten hotelli oli nihkeä järjestämään mitään ohjelmaa. Respan henkilökunta ei muutenkaan ollut kovin ystävällistä. Hotellin alueella oli tosi paljon eläimiä, mm. apinoita, lehmiä, liskoja, oravia yms. joita oli mukava seurailla.

Amazing relaxing stay at Talalla
My boyfriend and I stayed at Talalla for a week and had an amazing time. When we arrived, we had originally booked a room in the main house, however this was quite small so we enquired about changing to stay in one of the Deluxe Rooms. The staff were super helpful and even offered us a reduced rate to swap for a Deluxe Room, so we did this at an additional cost of $35 a night and it was definitely worth it! We stayed in one of the ground floor rooms which are great if you want a little more privacy as they have shutters, whereas they top floor rooms have bamboo blinds. The rooms are all very clean. The open air shower was amazing, however we did get a few frogs in the there in the evening/at night, but they weren't any trouble! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced for what you get considering it's a buffet. All the salad is washed in mineral water too, which is good to know if you're worried about picking up any bugs. The staff were always very helpful and lovely. We arrange lots of various excursions through them and had no trouble whatsoever. The onsite yoga is great too - there are two classes per day, one at 7.30am and another at 4.30pm - both are for 90 minutes at $15 per class. The pool was great - very clean and the perfect temperature! The beach was just a couple of minutes away too and it was so quiet it felt like a private beach! All in all we had a fantastic stay and were very sad to leave!
