Peaceful, traditional and comfortable accomondation

10.0

Oh wow, what a beautiful place, garden is stunning, so many birds here. The pool is gorgeous, in very, very peaceful surroundings, breakfasts were very tasty, very organised and beautifully prepared. The traditional looking bungalows are immaculately clean and furniture is comfy, we loved the comfy super-king bed and soft cotton linens. Perfect for our two week stay, the attention to detail is top notch. Kitchen is in its own bungalow so no noisy fridge in our room. Our outdoor shower / loo was a big room and a fun experience. Lots of ‘Avon, So Soft’ for the mozzi’s, although I think we got bitten more in local restaurants than at the resort. It was fun guiding the Tuk-Tuk drivers to the resort, walked many times to the sea front in the shade of the jungle, saw monkeys in the trees, water monitors in the canal, kingfishers, peacocks, cows etc. Swam in the “natural” pools at low tide on Thalpe beach everyday. Such a lovely community here, everyone smiles and says hello. Kids practice their English with a huge smile. We had a very relaxing time at Odailem, thank you sooo much for making our stay perfect.

Eine wunderbare Unterkunft: super ruhig gelegen und trotzdem sehr zentral. Die Bungalows sind sehr gepflegt und liebevoll gestaltet. Die Familie ist unglaublich herzlich, das Frühstück sowie der gesamte Service sind überragend. Die Kommunikation lief jederzeit unkompliziert und zuverlässig über WhatsApp. Absolut empfehlenswert!

The Kindness of Strangers

We loved this resort. Our accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. The pool was fab! There is so much bird life around the accommodation. We saw lots of Kingfishers and Eagles. Suresh was exceptionally kind to us when my wallet and phone were stolen by a tuk-tuk driver. What a very lovely man. Highly recommended!

− The resort could do with more signposting. It's a little difficult to find.

We hope we have the pleasure of coming back one day.

We highly recommend staying here very very peaceful and clean. We loved sitting out on the veranda surrounded by nature listening to the birds, it was very quiet resort. Our room was gorgeous and very comfy bed. The pool is also fantastic. Every morning we had the most delicious breakfast which filled us up for hours. For us the location was great to get to Galle via tuk tuk, also we saw the turtles, local beaches are fab too. We also went to Koggala lake and did a boat safari and feed monkeys, saw cinnamon island. Suresh also took us to the local weavers where you can see traditional methods so interesting. Suresh was the most kindest and genuine of hosts, ensuring we had the most comfortable stay, he arranged tuk tuk for us and took us to the lake - nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed talking to him and learnt much about Sri Lanka. All in all this was such an excellent authentic place with an exceptional host.

Great service and super nice facilities. The pool is amazing and the place feels brand new. The owner makes excellent breakfast and is super helpful with everything. It’s quiet and calm around the place.

− The location is a bit off with the last 200m being a very small road.

Superb
