Went on a family holiday to Moi Talpe and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel at home — super friendly and incredibly helpful, especially with the kids. That gave us the rare chance to actually relax and enjoy the stay. The layout of the property is ideal for families — the plunge pool, bean bags, and swings added a lovely charm, and the best part was that everything was within eyesight. We never had to worry about where the kids were. It felt really safe and well thought out. The beach is just out front. Depending on the season, the shoreline shifts, but a short walk took us to the stunning Talpe rock pools — nature’s own mini plunge pools. Sunsets there were something else. Food was a highlight — fresh, generous portions, and the kitchen team even went out of their way to accommodate a few dietary needs. The rooms were spacious, clean, and just what we needed after a day in the sun. It’s rare to find a place that balances comfort, style, and family-friendliness so well — and for the price, it truly exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be back! — A happy (and rested) dad

Staying at Moi Talpe was such a lovely surprise. It’s a former tsunami house that’s been beautifully redone the rooms feel fresh and comfortable, and the open-air restaurant and lounge space became our go-to hangout spots. We actually extended our stay because we couldn’t get enough of the skies here —every evening felt like a painting, and we didn’t want to miss a single one. The plunge pool, while small, was just right for our group, and it’s only for in-house guests so it felt private and peaceful. What really made the stay though was the team - Dinesha, Chamara (the chef!), and Suranga were so warm and welcoming. Nothing felt forced just genuinely kind people who took great care of us. We even saw turtles swimming in the sea a few evenings, and the Talpe rock pool beach is just a few steps away. The swings were a nice touch too we had a lot of fun there. Highly recommend this spot. We’re already planning to come back with friends and take over the whole villa next time.

Perfect Family Getaway!” We stayed as a family of four with two kids, and my brother’s kids joined us too – they absolutely loved their time here! Unfortunately, we could only stay one night, but next time we visit Galle or Ahangama, we’ll definitely book for a longer stay. The value for money is fantastic, and the staff are incredibly supportive and welcoming. We were pleasantly surprised because we had seen a few negative reviews, but our experience was the complete opposite – even the linens were brand new and spotless! This place truly exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to come back again.

The rooms were nice and clean

We cannot access the beach even though its near the beach. The hotel is buit with a hight. So we cannot climb down. Not stairs and hard rocks near the premisees. Maybe because its off season at the moment (June). To access the beach we have to walk around 700m on the main road as the staff mentioned

It's a beautiful place where you can fully relax. The staff was amazing (especially Harsha and Shakthi) and showed us beautifull places all around. They helped us with everything we asked them (like taking us to the train station to help us get on the right train). They really make you feel at ease. The room was magnificent with a beautiful bathroom and a very comfortable bed. It is amazing that there is a private beach at the hotel. You should really try the Sri Lanka breakfast option! It's delicious! In addition, they served us the most delicious coffee we had on our whole trip in Sri Lanka.

We got a tuktuk driver via the staff, which turned out to be the father of one of the staffmembers. He was really trying to make us do all kind of tours and activities, even after we made clear we did not want to go anywhere else. He made us feel uncomfortable (being 2 females). He also asked way too much money for the drive. The other tuktukdrivers they arranged for us were great!

Our experience was literally excellent despite we arrived not in season time. All staff was available for any requirements. Especially Kasun was super helpful even before our stay (he managed our transfers from airport and back, suggest and helped to book surfing classes, made extra miles when it comes for dinner options which weren't included in menu yet). We have prompt cleaning service and always had option to request it anytime. Caffe service was very good and on time. Location - is everything. Amazing place only few steps to Ocean!

I'd suggest to add Laundry service as around there weren't any options and it a great service could be managed by hotel. Also I'd add some hooks so clothes , to keep it in room with comfort.

The hotel staff does everything to keep the guests happy. The beach is in front of the hotel is quite unique - a combination of a nice coral reef for snorkeling and a beatiful sandy lagoon just 30 meters from the hotel for safy swimming in the ocean.

Lovely clean rooms beds are fantastic very cosy atmosphere close to local attractions and restaurants The staff very helpful especially Dinesha and breakfasts very good both English and Sri Lankan

No access to the beach from the property but a few minutes walk to the beach from property

Staff very friendly and helpful, perfect location with beautiful beach. Bed was very comfortable.

The sea in front is very rocky and not safe for swimming but nothing the property can help with so no complaints really

1. Location on the beach is great for sunsets, early morning beach walks and swimming. For swimming, only one part of the beach is appropriate, as the rest is rocky. 2. Clean rooms with good aircon, clean towels and good toiletries.

1. Limited food choices for both breakfast and other meals. 2. Staff is little laid-back in keeping with the vibe of the place. This works both ways, positive if you are chilled, otherwise not.
