After a month travelling around the island without a guide book and sleeping in all kind of places, we listen to some really good advices and we decided to go a little bit over our budget and spend a couple of nights in Secret Garden... Best decision ever!!! Everything was more than we expected, huge room, beautiful, clean and with... More

Secret Garden is exactly that, tucked away in a jungle-setting, it's the perfect place to go and relax! The room I stayed in was spacious, the bed was unbelievably comfortable, and it was my first shower "outside" (the roof is open). The friendly staff made meals by request, at whatever time we woke up. Quiet and wonderful, I will definitely... More

This is easily one of the nicest places to stay on the Unawatuna bay! A 20 second hop away from the beach, the old colonial villa and bungalows are surrounded by a beautifully planted garden that gives the place an air of tranquility. The staff are helpful and the breakfast is absolutely delicious - I had fresh toast, guacamole, scrambled... More

We stayed here for two nights for a break during our Sri Lanka trip. The village was packed with tourists because of the cricket match but Secret Garden remained calm and quiet. We stayed in bungalow nr. 2 which is pretty small and dark but you do not spend a lot of time in there. The shower and toilet are... More

The driver who brought us here found it a... More

The villa rooms are generous in size, all of them with an additional, furnished space on the veranda. It's like having a suite. The furnishing is extremly nice... More

After reading glowing reviews, I really wanted to go to Secret Garden, but due to the rude, arrogant and unprofessional nature of the manageress,would rather penetrate my eyeballs with pins than set foot in the place. Although i feel that the initial problems with the booking may have been due to language barrier, I dutifully followed emailed instructions to send... More

We were in the Maymoona suite for three nights at the back of the main building. I loved it. A bit "rustic" I suppose, sure, but beautiful old colonial furniture in the rooms, and a nice open-to-sky hot shower. Don't know what the bungalows are like. The room was a bit dark, sure, but so what - that's a good... More
