    Mind-blowing beach setting with sea turtles swimming beside us; incredibly delicious home-cooked Sri Lankan breakfast; friendly and attentive staff that made us feel like family; amazing terrace view; best beach in the area.

    The best part of our romantic escape was the location. We were just a few steps away from the breathtaking beach and had the opportunity to swim with a sea turtle in the nearby lagoon. The water was warm and perfect for snorkeling, with an abundance of colorful fish. we enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the small beach, away from the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist areas.

    the price of the food at the hotel was quite overpriced, so we opted to dine at the restaurants further down the beach. there were some noise disturbances during the night and early morning, such as trains passing by and dogs barking.

    The beachfront cabanas were spacious, with a lovely bathroom and a refreshing fan. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, ensuring a comfortable stay. The food was delicious, and the ocean view from the clean and tidy area was breathtaking. Spotting sea turtles while snorkeling was a memorable experience. a fantastic getaway.

    To sleep so close to the ocean was a dream come true, with the beach right in front of the cabanas. The hotel facilities were top-notch, providing everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Additionally, the staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The location was perfect, just by the shore and offering breathtaking views.

    Nothing negative to say.

    The room at Galawatta Beach Resort was so cozy and comfortable, with a lovely seating area where I could relax and unwind. The private entrance and tile/marble floor gave it a touch of elegance, making me feel like I was on a luxurious getaway. The balcony was the cherry on top, providing a perfect spot to soak in the beautiful view. And let's not forget the private bathroom - I had all the privacy I needed. It was such a delightful experience!

    Personally, I found that the shower in the private bathroom was a little too small for my liking. But hey, that's just my opinion.

    We had a fantastic stay at the beachfront Galawatta Resort. The bungalow had a spacious terrace and the breakfast served there was absolutely delicious. The comfortable bed and ample storage space were great, and the daily cleaning service was a nice touch. The staff provided excellent and quick service throughout our stay. We also appreciated the convenience of a nearby grocery store and restaurants. Swimming in the sea was amazing, especially with the daily visit from a sea turtle. And waking up early to witness the beautiful sunrise was a highlight. these bungalows were the best place to stay in the area.

    Nothing that I didn't like. 🌟

    We had a fantastic Easter getaway! The location of the hotel was simply amazing - right on the beach with stunning views of the ocean. We loved being able to swim with turtles right outside our room, it was an incredible experience. The staff were friendly and always went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was delicious and we enjoyed trying different local dishes.

    We did encounter a couple of issues during our stay. the rooms felt a bit damp and humid, which made it a little uncomfortable.

    The beachfront bungalows provided an amazing ocean view with the beach just a few meters away. The staff went above and beyond to assist in currency exchange, taxis, and more. The homemade spices from the owner's sister were delicious.

    Felt spoiled, as the staff was always attentive and willing to help.

    Situated on the beach, close to amenities and yoga studios. Simple, clean rooms with towels and toiletries. Friendly staff who go above and beyond, with delicious food made with love. Beautifully decorated cabanas and the chance to swim with turtles.
