I absolutely loved my time at Olinda! Everything about it felt special. The place was spotless, the decor is stunning, the food was lovely, and most importantly, the team running it was nothing short of amazing. It’s one of those rare places that feels both luxurious and deeply welcoming. If it’s available, don’t hesitate—book it! I highly recommend it and would love to return in the future.

It’s a beautiful historic property in a great location. The staff is wonderful. The restaurant is quite good. The rooms have been so thoughtfully decorated. We loved the grounds of the hotel, with so many beautiful trees, watching the monkeys.

Without a doubt one of the best places we have ever stayed! This was our second last stop on a 2 week trip of Sri Lanka and quite the highlight! Located just outside of Galle, Tabula resort is pure luxury. We stayed in the plunge pool room and as it was my partner’s birthday we also splurged on a floating breakfast. It took 2 men to bring it in as it was full with the most delicious food! Dinner in the restaurant was also incredible. The menu is diverse and I believe there is something for everyone. The staff were polite, friendly and attentive. They even set up a birthday surprise in the room while we were out, which was very special to come home to. I highly recommend staying at Tabula Resort!

We loved our stay in the family room with mezzanine. It was quirky, cozy and very clean. All the staff were wonderful - friendly and attentive. Incredible breakfasts with exceptional coffee. The location was ideal for exploring Galle over 3 days. We would highly recommend.

Galle area on the whole is wonderful.

Galle area on the whole is wonderful. Galle Fort although still beautiful, interesting, charming etc is quite touristy now and much more expensive than before. Do yourself a favour and go out of the fort walls into the main part of Galle and the places surrounding and mix with real Sri Lankans. Not many tourists seem to and they're missing out.

It takes about half a day to explore, and the must-see spots include colonial-era buildings like churches, castles, and the Dutch hospital. If you want to take the train from Galle to Colombo, you need to check the train schedule in advance, as there aren't many express trains each day. From Galle bus station, you can take a bus to see the stilt fishermen and the popular swing

The Fort area (streets) where nice with plenty of eateries a d things to look at. Rich in history with some amazing old buildings. We enjoyed our motel and our dinner venue. The letdown is the polution, it is quite bad and its a shame.

If you want to take whale watching at Mirissa, then stay one night at Mirissa and enjoy Weligama beach as it is much more beautiful that Galle beach where you cannot enjoy water but have to goto Unawatuna (6 km). Also, you have to be early (6 am) at the port to board boat, so it is better to be staying in the area. however the evenings inside Galle fort are very lively with all food joints and music. However it is very expensive compared to other places, probably because of the tourists.

Galle Fort was magical, so much history preserved, so easy to get around on foot. Lots of choices for eating and drinking. We recommend Ama Nissa for authentic Sri Lankan, the Ropewalk Bar for the best cold beer and Arrack Sour and Secret Garden for Kottu.

Galle is a charming little town although it has city status. The old Dutch fort is a must see, a world heritage sign. There are a few lovely beaches near by as well as a rain forest that can be reached with in an hour .

The setting, the beauty of the hotel itself, its location within the old Galle Fort zone, which was matched only by the quality of the service. Special mention must go to Suneth who took personal responsibility for ensuring our stay met and then exceeded our expectations. He then organised for our complementary transfer to Tangalle after some scheduling adjustments and later reconnected with us to assist with further transfers further into our Sri Lanka trip. Above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Suneth.

This accomodation was amazing. Very beautiful garden, pool and rooms. Breakfast was very good (one of the best we had in Sri Lanka) and all the stuff was super lovely. We stayed with small kids and they all loved it. It is very quiet there and peacefull. It is about 15 minutes by tuk tuk to Galle or to the beach, so the location was also convenient. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We choose it as a last relaxing place at the end of our Sri Lanka stay and it definitelly ticked all the boxes.

Hotel Calm Haven was the best stay from our 14 days trip in Sri Lanka. Super large bedrooms, classy shower area, a sparkling clean & a well maintained property with tasteful interiors. Supun and team took great care of us. They customised the breakfast for my family's liking and went to utmost length to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Will highly recommend the property for your next visit to Galle.

Great stay at Windy Garden. Spacious, very clean room, modern bathroom, and a great balcony overlooking the lovely pool. Breakfast was good, a choice between continental and Sri Lankan. One evening, sitting on the balcony, we had a sunset watching monkeys in the trees behind the hotel, which was special. Only a short ride 5-10 minutes)to Galle in a tuk tuk. Staff were very good, happy and polite.
