JJD75Minimalistic hotel rooms well located off Silent Beach in Tangalle. Nice communal pool and a small amount of rooms makes the villa quite tranquil and never busy. The staff are wonderful and the chef cooks delicious food which is all very reasonably priced. I just recommend you stay away from beef in this country as it’s quite inedible, this seems a common theme whether you’re buying a cheap burger or an expensive beef dish. The only detractions to the accomodation was a foul odour emanating from the shower in the mornings, but it did dissipate thereafter. Also I find there is little point of an in-room safe if it isn’t bolted to the ground. You can literally walk in and pick the safe up and exit the room making it redundant. Rooms are well appointed and well priced for the area given the two luxury alternatives are the Amanwella resort which is quite dated and much more expensive and the Anantara Peace Haven which is more expensive but also a fantastic product. The local beach here is beautiful. I would stay here again, but I expect rooms will be hard to come by as the country lacks 5 star resorts at this time. I would stay here again no doubt and recommend the property.
DDoufutravelsThis stay was the highlight of our trip in Sri Lanka. The room is in the heart of nature, and you’re surrounded by the sounds of the wild, fresh air away from the roads, and the peace and quiet that comes with a more intimate stay. Additionally, the breakfasts have been our favourite, especially the hoppers! It was all fresh and Sri Lankan style, served with the jungle in front of us. One morning, we had monkeys. Another, chipmunks. One special night, we had fireflies. The location was exceptional.
However, it was Praneeth who really made this place special for us. We had great conversations, and he even recommended me a great birdwatching app. One night, we chatted for a couple of hours and I learned so much about this beautiful country. Genuinely, Praneeth is a huge value to Jungle Loft. He was attentive, thoughtful and a wonderful representation of the kindness Sri Lankan people exude. Thank you so much, Praneeth for your warmth!
I can’t recommend Jungle Loft enough. It’s an ideal location, it’s private, it’s beautiful, and you’ll be looked after. Go for it!!
Pph37czThe owner settled me in a one-room apartment instead of a two-room apartment with a terrace, balcony, kitchen, refrigerator without all these amenities. There was only one working socket for charging gadgets and a kettle.
But though the room was clean and there was an aircon inside. Bedsheets were clean as well. They also provide a towel for free.
As for bath and toilet it was also clean. There was hot water but no shampoo/shower gel in bath cabins. But there was a toilet paper.
There was a kettle in the room. As for cold drinking water they don't provide it. Internet connection wasn't working all the time.
There was a pretty good breakfast with fried 2 eggs, 4 tosts (but 2 of them were from old dried bread), butter and jam, fruits (3 pieces of watermelon and papaya, 2 bananas) and 2 drinks as tea/coffee and freshly made juice.
Located in 5 mins walking distance from beach.
The staff was accomodating and helpful.
AAsela WijesiriA relaxing getaway in Unawatuna!
Stunning 5 bedroom villa located in the heart of Unawatuna with exceptional service and staff. It’s well equipped with everything you need. Great local and western food which was well prepared and flavorful (the kitchen is extremely clean and well maintained which is always a good sign). There are plenty of areas to relax with great views and the property has lots of shade and beautifully maintained landscape. Vishan and his staff looked after us very well and every request was accommodated including getting us a masseuse in house which was one of the best massages we have had. He also arranged very trustworthy and friendly tuk tuk drivers for us to go around the area. Wish we stayed here longer!!
GGuest UserA new, stylish hotel — exactly what I wanted. The spacious lobby area and calming sound of waves. Good food, convenient breakfast with no schedule.
I would recommend choosing only the deluxe room, as the premium rooms are near the road and tend to be noisy with constant honking.
There’s no gym, which I wish they had. As for the staff — since it’s not a chain hotel, you can feel that the standards aren’t very high, and maybe they never will be. Sometimes they are persistently nice, other times, even rude - they implied that I took their bathrobe and suggested I open the luggage. Later, they called to say they found it, but that feeling, of what happened, it can’t be taken back.
SSvetlana PentsevaA beautiful, secluded, and delicious place. The villa is located on a hill, so be prepared for that. The beach is a 5-minute walk away. The villa has 6 rooms with a shared living room, dining area, and slope. The terrace offers magnificent views. The pool area is surrounded by greenery. There is a space for yoga and warm-ups. The kitchen deserves special attention: beautiful cutlery, delicious dishes. Don't waste time and eat at the villa—it's worth it. The staff is attentive, friendly, and positive. It's also a great place for a photo shoot. Manager Yulia will greet you, help you, recommend interesting places, and leave you feeling like you're spending time with friends.
JJIANLINGThe house is very high-class and simple, and the natural ecological environment makes people feel comfortable. Just prepare the anti-mosquito liquid and close the door easily. The overall design of the house designed by the landlord is artistic and the details are attentive, clean and refreshing, especially the open open-air bathroom is impressive! After six days of fatigue, I took a super refreshing bath, refreshing! The landlord patiently and meticulously asked each of us about our breakfast preferences, and enjoyed a very rich and delicious breakfast by the blue swimming pool and the monkey swinging tree! Everyone even has a carefully fried double egg! Great stay experience!
GGuest UserWe booked this at the last minute due to a change of plans and so just went by the previous reviews but we are so glad we did! It’s a small hotel but with lovely large rooms with private pools. We loved the sunset walk to the beautiful wild beach and our trip to Yala. We didn’t have any problems with wildlife in the shower and loved the feeling of being in such a natural environment. The real selling point of the hotel however is their staff and every one of them went out of their way to help us have a great stay.
Thanks again!
TTate /TatevI had a wonderful stay here. The staff member was extremely kind—he welcomed me with a cold drink upon arrival and was very helpful throughout my stay. He sent me a list of great places to eat, have coffee, and activities to do around town, which I really appreciated.
The room was spacious, very clean, and located in a calm, quiet area. There is also a shared kitchen where you can cook your own meals, and a washing machine available if you need to do laundry. I felt very comfortable and would definitely recommend this place.
LLyslThe team made this the most hospitable and wonderful stay. Thank you to Prasad and Avi, particularly, for meeting our every need. From the wonderful pool at the main hotel, to the breakfast in the villa and the guided tour around the Fort, everything exceeded expectation. The room was also well presented and clean, with a turn down service in the evening. Attention to detail is a strong suit of the team! Hope to be back again soon.
