Talalla Freedom Resort was a fantastic place for our family to stay. We were there for 2 weeks with our two tween kids and we loved so much about the property. We were in the 3 bedroom bungalow which was situated right near the pool. The beach was just a few minute walk from the resort and it was a great surf beach and also quiet and clean. The staff at the resort were kind and patient and lovely. I highly recommend Talalla Freedom Resort for a relaxing great family holiday.

Whilst these weren't negatives for us, it is worth noting this is not a resort in the way westerners would imagine a resort might be and was more rustic. Given the location of the resort in a forest you will encounter ants and bugs and monkeys and birds but these only added to the excitement of the resort.

The location and this place is special on a hill top at the end of beautiful Talalla beach. The restaurant location overlooking the beach is cool and serves good food. Many monkeys in the green gardens. The resort has sunbeds down on the beach and there some stall selling clothes. Sri Lanka does not get better then this

Almost perfect. Yes, going down to the beach is a bit steep and maybe not easy for all. The bungalow had some old pieces of furniture and kitchen, but acceptable to us considering price, location and service.

Location was excellent with a beautiful view from the restaurant it is on the side of a hill about 30 steps to get down to the beach Breakfast was delicious and changed every morning Staff happy and helpful Good clean pool Rooms are very basic but the view is to die for Lots of cheeky monkeys in the trees I would go back for sure very relaxing

Bathroom was not clean I would have liked to have given it a good scrub ,marks came off the walls easily so I don’t think it had been cleaned

Staff were totally amazing and helpful, went beyond the sense of duty in getting us settled in with our Tuctuc! Location is a fabulous as long as you are happy with the steps to the beach… beach is long and sweeping with unbelievable views from the restaurant at the resort. Loved the pancake, toast and fruit breakfast. Excellent value for money.

Sign post found via Google led us through a different resort and up a track … there is another sign post on main road that takes you the correct way … but Google didn’t tell us that!!

The location is amazing and the staff kind and helpful. The view from the restaurant is unbeatable and enjoys the sea breeze. The pool is great - clean and refreshing and also has an incredible view of the bay, along with a visiting monitor lizard and monkeys to watch while swimming. The food - delicious and fairly priced. The nearby Ayurvedic massage was excellent - go on…treat yourself!

There’s a mixture of units, some with air con, some without - it wasn’t easy to work this out when booking. We were fine with just fan and cooled the room by letting in the breeze. The rooms are basic, but not a problem to us as this place is about the location.

The most beautiful location in Talalle with alot of wildlife and beautiful huge trees. Food was always very good (Sri Lankan options). The rooms were very nice and clean. Keep in mind that it's not a luxury resort therefore you can't have crazy expectations.

Nothing negative just keep in mind that stairs are quite steep therefore if you have a disability it might be tricky to get up.

We loved the view of the beach from the dining area. The property had some nice trees frequented by monkeys, hornbills and parrots. The swimming pool was spotlessly clean and you could see a partial view of the sea through the trees. We were there 2 nights. We stayed in a non a/c room the first night and found it too hot so we moved to an a/c room for the second night. The a/c worked well, the room was more spacious and the bathroom less basic.

Amazeing place to stay for nature lovers, near to a beautifull beach that isn't crowded by to many turists. Kids enjoyed the swimming pool. Very good breakfast served in restaurant with spectacular view of the beach. I highly recomend!

Note that the resort is situated on the hill so I wouldn't recomend to those who don't fancy stairs..

It is a beautiful location with very comfortable facilities. The pool was super clean and our hosts arranged drinks and food on site for us - as it was just out of season. It was peaceful watching the beach, people, animals and ocean from the restaurant site on the cliff. We were return guests which says it all.

A map was provided to help with access which could have been confusing without. Maybe a few signs on the access road but not a big deal.

We loved the location, and the pool, the rooms are basic but comfortable, the breakfast is excellent. The meals and drinks are very nice and the staff are very friendly. If you just want to chill for a few days this is the place for you.
