Safari Tentalow in Kotapola

"This is a superb hotel. The staff are friendly, the hotel is clean, the rooms are beautifully designed with a great view out over the bay."

"Arriving at the entrance was really impressive. We were greeted with a cool drink and big umbrellas as the rain thundered down! The rain meant we couldn't use the pool, which looked lovely, and our original room had leaks, so we were taken to different rooms, which were much better. The rooms were clean. We were a short drive to the safari. All in all, great value for money and a very nice team working there - they just need to finish some of the maintenance work (to stop things like leaks!)."

"Nice location. Seems like they still have growing pains mostly in the restaurant area.. "

"Friendly staff. Clean room"

"What a wonderfully hotel. Perfectly situated, right on the beach with a gorgeous pool. All the staff were so friendly and helpful from the minute we arrived until we left. Food was excellent and so was the Spa. Highly recommend this hotel as a place to stay 10/10!"

"Really disappointing stay here. We booked the standard room which, based off the photos, looks like it has a window in the bathroom looking onto greenery. This isn't the case, instead the window is dirty and covered so there's no natural light or ventilation. The bathroom as a result is damp (which they've clearly painted over), moulding, and the shower tray is taped together. The bedroom felt like a cave it was so dark and depressing. The bed was large and comfortable, but the sheets were stained and had a bad smell to them, and we also noticed chewing gum stuck to the headboard. The rooftop pictures are also misleading and clearly old, as it is in need of renovations up there. Based on this I can only assume the other rooms are a similar standard. As for the co-living, this was simply a cafe and, in our experience, a loud karaoke event (which you can hear throughout the accommodation, even if you'd prefer not to). We stayed for 8 nights and this was the only event we know of (if there were others, there is no information shared about them). The only redeeming points are the staff are friendly and the wifi worked. There are much better co-working places to stay in Weligama at much cheaper prices, so we would avoid here."

"Our room was automatically upgraded to one with A/C. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were great; they were friendly, and accommodated our early morning request for tea and coffee. They also organized great natiralist guides for our walking tours in and around the rainforest. Thank you very much!!!"

"The hotel hosts weddings. On this day there is lots of noise. Sound testing for hours. Loud music. Interrupts on the access to the beach. Horrible!!!! Be ware. !!! Your vacation will not be quiet "

"Individual lodgings, resorts not fully developed, staff hospitable, friendly, made the experience enjoyable "
