We didn't stay at Tartaruga, we choose another place, but all our time we spent there!! The best location on the beach in the heart of Unawatuna!! also their restaurant is really good both for the lunch and for the romantic dinner! Next time we will stay only in Tartaruga hotel.

Me and two friends stayed at Tartaruga for 1 week in April. Tartaruga is 15 mins from Galle in a tuk tuk and is realy central to all local attractions. 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.

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
