Villa Reef Talpe

The place is fantastic with a beautiful pool and right at the beach

It was a nice stay. The natural pool beside the villa is really interesting and also there is a spot with the fishermen nearby.

Отель расположен далеко от центра. При бронировании оплатила самый дорогой номер с видом на море, в результате при въезде пытались заселить меня на самый высокий этаж под крышей в маленькую комнатку, в комнате был сильный запах сырости. Я спустилась объяснила, что произвела оплату самого дорогого номера с сайта и попросила переселить, мою просьбу выполнили. В целом отель неплохой, с красивым видом, готовят вкусно, мне даже сделали блюдо которого нет в меню, поинтересовались хочу ли я потанцевать вечером, сами отвезли меня в центр в ресторан у океана где вечером была живая музыка и танцы, попросили написать когда забрать и приехали и привезли обратно в отель абсолютно бесплатно. Я очень часто путешествую и переезжаю с одного отеля в другой, с одной части острова в другую, чтобы увидеть все максимально, а не сидеть в одном месте , если отель мне нравится обычно продлеваю еще на один или несколько дней, на сайте указано заезд после 14 выезд до 12, на следующий день я еще спала в постели мне с 9 утра начали сильно стучатся в дверь и пытаться выпроводить из номера, приходили несколько раз и разные люди, в тот момент мне стало страшно, сильно стучались в дверь я еле успела сумку собрать и в попыхах принять душ. На уточнение по какой причине меня с утра гонят из номера, когда до 12 ч у меня еще есть два часа, в ватсап мне ответили что выезд у них до 10 утра и нужно успеть подготовить номер для следующего гостя, при этом никто мне об этом ранее не сообщал и на сайте указано до 12 часов, поэтому за сервис ставлю низкую оценку, было очень неприятно, никогда ни в одном отеле не видела такого

My recent stay at the villa was deeply disappointing, marked by a litany of issues including substandard cleanliness, lack of managerial presence, and malfunctioning amenities. Despite expressing concerns prior to arrival, assurances from staff proved hollow as the manager was absent and remotely managing from Colombo. The accommodation was filthy, and we were inexplicably entrusted with property management responsibilities. Essential amenities like the swimming pool were out of order, and dining was rendered uncomfortable due to unsanitary conditions. Upon requesting a refund, the management engaged in delay tactics and shifting requirements, further eroding trust. This pattern of behavior underscores a disregard for customer satisfaction and professionalism. Urgent action is needed to rectify these deficiencies and prevent future guests from enduring similar experiences

The checkin and checkout was one of the weirdest so far. There was noone around who spoke English when we arrived. I booked a standard room which turned out to be a small box without windows. I decided to upgrade to a seaview room and was presented with a room rate by a housekeeping boy that was way higher than the rate shown online. Then we started haggling which ended up to be a back and forth with the manager via phone. I finally managed to lock in the proper rate for the upgrade. When the room was ready, there were still several items amiss which I had to request. The location has direct beach access but there are hardly any restaurants or markets in the area. There is one person who runs a kitchen that appears to be a separate business. When you order a drink, he will say "let me check what fruits I have" and then pillage through the fridge. He is working super hard and makes up delicious food. During checkout, noone was around so we just left. However, there were 2 staff people who were super friendly. Aside from the language barrier, it was fun to interact with them. The internet was relatively fast but dropped out constantly. Also, there were numerous power outages during our stay. The seaview room itself was great and had a balcony which was shared with the neighboring room.

Most things were really good rooms, pool, eating area.A lack of sun beds only had 4 in total. There was a real lack of organisation with the people in charge or lack of management but staff were happy to help wherever possible. Breakfast was two fried eggs bread fruit coffee and tea. No free water in the room

Very friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful view. Very peaceful location. Loved the little pool. Very clean rooms
