Tabula Rasa Resort & Spa

Wonderful hotel with great staff speaking English and beautiful environment. It doesn’t have beach access, so there’re tuk tuks by the gate that can take you to your destination. Delicious breakfasts and nice views. You can also meet different animals on the territory of the hotel. I’m totally satisfied with my experience of staying here and can recommend this hotel to others 👍

With only 24 rooms this is really a place you must visit. A steep drive brings you to the gate of this hotel, nestled in the jungle of Sri Lanka with a jaw dropping view at the infinity pool. We were upgraded from a Villa to a Pool Villa, thanks to our HH Gold status. Do reach out to the hotel to receive very good rates and deals! Our room was spacious and could sleep all of our 3 kids. The bathroom was modern and fully equipped with amenities. The master bed was foreseen of a mosquito net, aswell as a mosquite spray (keep windows closed, especially after rain to avoid them). The patio had 2 sunloungers, a table and a small plungepool. This was ideal to spot the monkey family in the trees, not far from the room. During our 2 nights we encountered heavy rain and thunder, but skies cleared up in the morning. Awakened by monkey's on the roof we headed out for breakfast, which was a la carte. Choices and portions were great and service was quick. Small note: paper napkins gives the hotel a cheap look, i would replace them with linnen, as they do for dinner. We used the main pool once as most of the day we were out exploring. Dinner is also available and nicely presented, altough staff should refrain to clear plates whenever others are still eating (etiquette). Overall, a good choice whenever you are close to Galle and the hotel and room has all you need.

Tabula Rasa is an excellent, warm and cozy property. We had a really comfortable and amazing stay. The staff looked after our every need and were supremely helpful. Prasad made sure that it’s a home away from home with 5 star service provided to us. Highly recommend this place!
