9.4/10 Exceptional! (9 reviews)
I had a really wonderful time at Tabula Rasa. Felt like the staff couldn’t do enough to ensure my stay was perfect.
The location is stunning. It is worth being located up hill in the peace and quiet, and so easy to pop out in a tuk tuk.
The food was really good, I expected to eat out more but, I’d often crave the chef’s dhal! I was able to eat really good plant based meals without getting bored of the menu. The chef would come out to chat, and was very keen to ensure I enjoyed the food.
All of the staff make you feel part of the family and nothing was too much trouble.
They organised a driver for my longer trips, and a tuk driver who was perfect for getting into local towns or the beach.
I had a plunge pool room which was worth the extra. Relaxing out there, with an endless view of the jungle, the ocean in the distance, and monkeys leaping from the trees is pure heaven. The monkeys even enjoyed coconuts above my sun lounger one morning.
I have no doubt I will return!

The Postcard is an excellent hotel for a relaxing holiday. It is literally on a lagoon with the water touching the property.
The foliage has been maintained very well to give the property a serene and thick green cover, which adds to the calm.
The best part of the property of course are the people. Bharatvir and Ajith run the hotel very well with all staff out of sight but any food or service is available within a shout away.
It is also a short drive away from Fort Gaulle, also a nice little charming town.
I highly recommend it.

We absolutely loved our stay at Galle Fort Hotel. It was a beautiful property in the middle of the fort town which had lots of restaurants and shops. The hotel itself was unbelievably beautiful and felt very luxurious. The staff were so attentive and kind. The breakfast was my favorite I’ve ever had at a hotel! Beautiful fruit and delicious cooked food. Cannot recommend enough! We will be back.
