The rooms and their interior design are exceptional. The views offered from within the comfort of the room or from the cosy restaurant or even the majestic swimming pool are truly mesmerising. Overlooking lush jungle and the Indian ocean, it is without a doubt a hard to beat view. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The location is perfect, away from the chaos and noise of the main road, but within 5 min from beautiful beaches and beach clubs. After a long day out, retiring to such a luxurious and tranquil resort made my stay all the better. I highly recommend this pearl!

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They were the highlight of my stay. The massage therapist Nuwan also was extremely helpful and professional with his treatment. Max the dog was also a great addition to the team.

The bed was slightly uncomfortable but not a deal breaker

- Exceptional customer service. We felt very welcomed by the staff and looked after. - The food at The Dutch Restaurant is excellent - both a la carte at lunch and the included breakfast were great! - The room was comfortable and clean. Housekeeping was excellent. - The overall atmosphere and views were stunning. - Maxi the resort dog was a highlight for us - she is so cute!

- Overall, no major issues or flaws. - Worth noting that the plunge pool is not heated - this was fine on the hotter days but was underused and too cold on the cooler days we had. The main pool felt warmer, which was a good alternative. - Hot water was temperamental in the shower. - The couch covers in the room and the day bed covers by the pool were a little stained and worn - could do with a deep clean or replacement.

Tabula Rasa is a beautiful small resort in the middle of the jungle with an amazing view, garden and infinity pool. The staff is absolutely lovely and try to make your stay the best possible, and they were very helpful to solve any problem that arises. The villa we stayed in what great, modern, tastefully decorated, with a terrasse and jungle views, lots of space, and super comfortable bed. You could not imagine a more peaceful setting, and monkeys came to say hello a few times. The breakfast was superb. Our baby loved the place and everyone was super attentive to her. Thank you so much for making our stay special.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the hotel! From the moment we arrived, the hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every need was met with a smile. The villa was spacious, very clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a relaxing environment that made us feel right at home. The amenities were top-notch, with a fantastic pool overlooking a jungle and providing a stunning view of the ocean. The location was also wonderful as the hotel is located at the top of the hill, maintaining a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway in the middle of the jungle with the too view of the Indian Ocean.

We had the pleasure of staying for 3 nights at Tabula Rasa Hotel, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with refreshing towels and a refreshing mocktail — such a thoughtful touch after our flight and long car ride. The staff at Tabula Rasa were exceptional. They were always so friendly and accommodating, ensuring that every need was met with a smile. The chefs went out of their way to adjust meals for our 3-year-old son, and even gave him a special tour of the kitchen! Special thanks to M. Nuwan, the massage therapist, who provided an incredibly relaxing experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and we highly recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast – it quickly became our favorite! The restaurant and lounge also have a fantastic atmosphere, with soft music playing in the background, adding to the overall peaceful vibe. Tabula Rasa offers a perfect blend of seclusion and serenity, with breathtaking views of the ocean and surrounding jungle. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat in a paradise setting, this is the place to be. On our last day, we were lucky enough to witness a family of monkeys playing in the tree right in front of our room. It was an unforgettable moment, being able to watch them up close in such a beautiful setting. A big thank you to the entire team at Tabula Rasa for making our stay so smooth and memorable. We’ll certainly be recommending it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape. 🌿🌊

I loved my stay. It is wonderfully relaxing - an oasis - but in reality you are only a few mins from beachbars, tourist attractions etc. But it is perfectly quiet and relaximg. Amazing infinity pool and some rooms have their own too. I loved it. Delicious food, attentive team, spa for massages, mani, pedi, facials etc. It is the perfect place to unwind and reset. The villas are big and spacious, great bed, huge shower, day bed too, desk and chair, minibar - everything that you need. Incredibly reasonable for everything that you get.

Nothing. Loved it. Team can't do enough to make your stay amazing.

Great design and nice location. Staff also very eager to please and kind. It was wonderful to be so close to the beach (5 mins by tuk tuk) but also feel amongst the jungle with monkeys roaming! The room was very nice (apart from lack of fan)

Small aspects could be improved. There was no fan in the room, only AC. Not sure if this was only our room or others but seemed strange given fans were incorporated in other parts of the hotel. At night it would be better having a fan rather than AC directly on you. For the price, some basic amenities should be provided in the room also like slippers. A large supply of towels should be left for guests to take near the pool area - they regularly weren’t available and guests had to requests these and wait for them to be provided. At times felt like restaurant staff were understaffed - they were also required to make drinks meaning wait times for drinks in the evening during busy period could be quite long. I waited approximately an hour for a drink on one occasion.

We have just come home after 10 days at Tabula Rasa. There is not a single thing I would change. It was an exceptional hotel in every way. The resort was spotlessly clean throughout. Our welcome was fabulous with all that days team greeting us, including the general manager Dillon. Our room was comfortable and we had magnificent views from the balcony. The room was kept clean throughout our stay. There is a focus on environmental issues and so the towels were changed every 3rd day, but if we needed fresh towels sooner we could have them. Bathroom "stuff", (Shaving kits, toothbrushes, soap etc) were all environmentally friendly. On arrival the chef came and checked our individual requirements. I am a vegetarian and I have some food allergies. I also HATE coconut! I knew I would have to "put up and shut up" going to an Asian county. However, this was not the case. Each and every meal I had was freshly prepared with no coconut. I had the most delicious food whenever we ate at the hotel. Thank you to the head chef and the catering team. A Special mention to Akila, the waiter and general lovely man. He was a breath of fresh air with kind and gentle service. He was quick to learn our preferences ( me: black coffee. My husband: tea with milk and sugar). Nothing was too much to ask. The front of house was always well managed and Upeka was so kind and welcoming. She helped to arrange many things for us and was always interested in what we had booked and where we were going. Packed breakfasts were arranged if we needed them. All her suggestions were appropriate and helpful. The hotel arranged a driver for us when we needed, including our airport transfers. Samira was a gem. He was a top guy with a lovely sense of humour. We felt completely safe being driven by him and once again nothing was too much trouble. The hotel also suggested the local Tuk Tuk driver, Ataru. He was fantastic, once again we felt very safe being driven by him.

Nothing it was fantastic

Very good and quiet place to stay. Just a few rooms, familiar atmosphere.Very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast, tasty selections for dinner. Small requests were fulfilled directly. Located basically in middle of the jungle, perfect to enjoy the nature. The large pool offers enough sun beds. The small town Habaraduwa with bus and train connections and the beaches are in walking distance. Late check-out was possible without extra charges. What a wonderful place to relax - Thank you!

While the price for food is reasonable drinks are really expensive.
