APA Villa Thalpe

Villa was very nice and relaxing. I visited with my family and the place was family friendly. Food was tasty too. Manager Suresh was very helpful and friendly. Rest of the staff was also very nice and pleasant. Overall had a good experience and would recommend to anyone.

Beautiful property -- we enjoyed spending time here so much, we took most of our meals at our room since we didn't want to leave! The Sri Lankan feast was delicious and reasonably priced The staff was very warm and acommodating throughout. The beach, though not wide, was gorgeous.

Location - The property is not a luxury boteque hotel as their reservation department describes and charged. It is an average budget type one. Probably one of the cheapest quality places I have been to. However, the property is very close to the beach. You literally step out to the sea. There are a lot of bugs and insects/ants in the room. Dead cockroaches were in the bathroom. Service - Staff are very friendly and helpful. However, there is no room service. You need to step out of the room and ring a bell and wait till they come if you need anything. Upon checking said we have a private butler but you need to search him. There’s no dental kits available in the hotel. We have to pay and send butler for buying toothpaste & brush. Food - Not tasty at all with average portions other than breakfast which were very small. English breakfast had two tiny keells sausages and teaspoon of tiny pieces of potatoes with eggs. No filling at all. Pathetic food for luxury as described. Improvements - Need to add room service and rethink their meals. Personally feel that it's not worth the money.

We had a beautiful view of the infinity pool and ocean. The sunsets were gorgeous. Each room has concierge service to a private table on a porch in front of your room. The service was outstanding. The rooms were very big and included a living room, walk in closet area and air conditioned bedroom. It is a 15 minute drive from the Galleria Fort which is a charming touristy town filled with excellent shops. We enjoyed ourselves completely here.

Per essere un hotel 4 stelle non ci siamo proprio! Ben lungi!!! Subito si rimane colpiti ma poi si cambia subito idea! Partendo dal presupposto che avevo una camera tipo suite con vista ma parecchie le pecche! Finestre senza vetri quindi le imposte sempre chiuse x’ se no entravano gli insetti, bagno molto ampio ma senza aria condizionata e con naftalina sparsa ovunque e quindi relativo odore; camera attigua con tv senza aria condizionata e quindi inutilizzabile! Cassetta di sicurezza molto vecchia senza combinazione ma con un’altrettanta vecchia chiave. Zanzariera bucata in più punti, lenzuola bucherellate e non propriamente candide! Insomma per diventare veramente un 4 stelle di strada ne deve fare ancora!!! Colazione: appena discreta. Spiaggia: pochissima Ristoranti e/o locali in prossimità: nessuno (ho camminato x 2km)

Beautiful, expansive and idyllic location. Excellent food, extremely comfortable rooms with beautiful decor, right on the beach. We spent a day between the beach, the infinity pool and enjoying drinks on our loungers. In the late afternoon we watched green turtles in the shallow waves not 25 metres away. A perfect retreat only 25 mins from Galle. Very friendly staff, excellent service.

Villa prachtig, service goed, eten diner en ontbijt heerlijk, mooi zwembad, personeel super vriendelijk. Jammer dat het strand erg smal is en dat je daar niet goed kan zwemmen ivm het rif. Je bent gebonden aan deze plek , want in de buurt zijn er geen restaurantjes en barretjes, die natuurlijk wel met de tiktak te bereiken zijn.
