We had a fab time at Tarataruga with Neel and his team. The place was everything we expected and more. Some of the reviews on here are a tad unfair I feel - in particular the review made by the people who didn't eat/drink or stay there? The food was awesome, the staff were bent to every need and genuinely... More

If you are looking for a western style beach boutique, this is not it. It is a higher end guest house with music going on till late at night. Sewers supposed to stayhere but changed our mind after seeing it. Not to dismayed anyone from going but I booked Taratarugaafter reading trip advisor reviews calling it 5star and that it... More

Last year this restaurant was knocked down for being too close to the sea, it is now been re-built to a far higher standard than most other places on Unawatuna. Having selected the fresh fish from an iced table, we had some wonderful 'devilled' cooking, it was really good. Service was a bit slow, but that seems to be the... More

We stayed at the end of January ... the perfect time to be in Sri Lanka's south west coast when the temperature in the UK is 'freezing' ... We had a simple room that was comfortable, two steps from the beach. Neil - the owner has had a tough time as the restaurant he had lovingly built up to deliver... More

Did not stay there, just watched the cops tear down the rooms facing the beach on Christmas Day (and left all the rubble and detritus and garbage on the beach, where it stayed. Their restaurant tables take up most of the beach in front of the hotel, they should have removed those instead. More

The Tartaruga is a fantastic place to stay. Right on Unawatuna Beach, fantastic little thatched beach bar with a barman who can make anything. Lovely seagrass and cushioned sofas to lounge on in the shade when it gets to hot in the sun and listen to some pretty good chill out sounds through the afternoon and evening . Room pretty... More

We were not staying at the hotel, but were attracted by the restaurant's lights once and come to this place again and again after the very nice 1st impression: Sri Lanka is well known for the poor service, lazy waiters, not good food. This place is the best you can get over the hood and some kilometers near by to... More

This is a review of the restaurant only. We have not frequented the hotel. The restaurant is located right on the beach in Una. Good location and OK ambience. We were seated in a nice corner with pillows on benches and then things started to go not quite as planned. We ordered 3 Bruschettas. Tartarugas version of this is cheap... More
