From start to finish Tartaruga was amazing, wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed in the family room which was very clean with lots of space. The air con... More

We stayed in Tartaruga Hotel for 2 nights in Mar 2013. The hotel is located in the heart of Unawatuna beach, with lot of activities and several restaurants around. We stayed in room 7 which has a private verandah and just a few metres from the beach. The hotel has a lovely restaurant on the beach. Food is expensive compared... More

Recently returned from 20 blissful days at Tartaruga, and wish we could have stayed even longer! Best location on the beach. The charming staff - Team Tartaruga - work proudly, enthusiastically and cheerfully under the quiet leadership of the very approachable owner - Neel. Tartaruga is kept spotlessly clean and tidy including the well-equipped and comfortable rooms - you just... More

The calamari ordered wasn't cleaned properly. Order a few beers and enjoy the location. Average service, uninterested. Wouldn't go back. Will check out The many other places on the bay.... Its sad that its so difficult to eat good local food here in una.

We have stayed at Tartaruga for three nights in January and returned for four more in February/March. The staff work hard and are friendly and accommodating. Bring your own beach towels, toiletries, a lay back attitude, some money to buy from vendors on the beach, bug spray certain times of the year and enjoy the beach and bay. Co-Owner Neil... More
