APA Villa Thalpe

Beautifully located on the beach. A private ideal spot to relax and enjoy the ocean views, 25 metre pool and gardens. Outside the entrance walls you have the busy thorough fare where a tuk tuk taxi can drop you to numerous surf beaches, eateries and historic Galle Fort, within a short drive away. The rooms are very spacious, clean, comfortable and quiet. Definitely a place we will return too in Sri Lanka!

Rooms were so spacious & the service was excellent. Anyone can enjoy both beach & the pool. We stayed for one night half board & the meals were excellent as well. The staff was so helpful with some guidance to nearby attractions. Overall it was a great experience.

A beautiful Unawatuna beach can be reached in less than 10 minutes from the hotel.The staff is all very friendly, and I would like to express my gratitude to Prabath, Suresh, Security, and all hotel staff. The lemongrass soup has exceeded our expectations. Shane and Agnes

Villa was very nice and relaxing. I visited with my family and the place was family friendly. Food was tasty too. Manager Suresh was very helpful and friendly. Rest of the staff was also very nice and pleasant. Overall had a good experience and would recommend to anyone.

Location - The property is not a luxury boteque hotel as their reservation department describes and charged. It is an average budget type one. Probably one of the cheapest quality places I have been to. However, the property is very close to the beach. You literally step out to the sea. There are a lot of bugs and insects/ants in the room. Dead cockroaches were in the bathroom. Service - Staff are very friendly and helpful. However, there is no room service. You need to step out of the room and ring a bell and wait till they come if you need anything. Upon checking said we have a private butler but you need to search him. There’s no dental kits available in the hotel. We have to pay and send butler for buying toothpaste & brush. Food - Not tasty at all with average portions other than breakfast which were very small. English breakfast had two tiny keells sausages and teaspoon of tiny pieces of potatoes with eggs. No filling at all. Pathetic food for luxury as described. Improvements - Need to add room service and rethink their meals. Personally feel that it's not worth the money.

We had a beautiful view of the infinity pool and ocean. The sunsets were gorgeous. Each room has concierge service to a private table on a porch in front of your room. The service was outstanding. The rooms were very big and included a living room, walk in closet area and air conditioned bedroom. It is a 15 minute drive from the Galleria Fort which is a charming touristy town filled with excellent shops. We enjoyed ourselves completely here.
