Guest reviews for Green turtle
"I really liked the Green Turtle Hotel! The location is just perfect — less than a minute's walk to the beach, and you're right by the ocean. We stayed in a large room with a terrace, which was great for relaxing. The mattress and pillows were comfortable, so we slept really well. The hot water in the shower always had good pressure. I especially want to mention the food. The breakfasts and lunches prepared by Suranga were absolutely amazing. Every evening we had fresh fish and squid — everything was incredibly tasty. Suranga, the host of the hotel, is a very friendly and cheerful person. He’s always ready to help, and it’s a pleasure to talk to him. He creates such a warm atmosphere that you feel right at home. People usually come here to see the turtles, but we stayed for a whole week and didn’t regret it for a second. We didn’t want to leave, and we’re already planning to come back for a longer stay. I highly recommend this hotel — it’s a great place for a vacation!"

"Staff going beyond expectations. Nice spot at the outskirt of the park. Amazing food experience - you taste many local dishes and they explain them to you in a lovely setting with candles and a campfire."

"Posizione fantastica in mezzo alla natura scoiattoli che saltano sul terrazzo e a volte anche scimmie e pavoni, esperienza unica, un po’ più nell’entro terra ma va benissimo, era quello che cercavo"

"I had such a beautiful stay here. The place is perfectly located – close to everything but still peaceful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The room was really comfortable and clean, and the people here were incredibly kind and always happy to help with anything I needed. For me, this place became more than just accommodation – it felt like a small healing space during my time in Weligama. I truly felt taken care of, relaxed and at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking for good energy, comfort and genuine hospitality."

"Perfect family getaway at Padmi Villa! We travelled to Weligama, Sri Lanka with our teenager in February 2025 and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The second floor was exclusively for our family, and the space was perfect. The location is fantastic, and the host family were invaluable in helping us discover the best local spots. They were incredibly responsive and always willing to help with any questions. The villa is well-equipped, and the kitchen made it easy to prepare our own meals. We were even treated to delicious traditional food on our last day! We highly recommend Padmi Villa to families looking for a comfortable and authentic stay"
