Habaraduwa Hotels with Wi-Fi

Im very late in posting this, but my wife and I had a lovely stay here for the first 3 nights of our honeymoon trip. The staff were all so lovely and made us feel right at home immediately. An extra special thank you to Kasun who went above and beyond in sorting us out around the pool and escorting us for out swims in the sea! Our only slight issue was that we went out for dinner one night and got back to find the front door was locked with no bell to contact anyone inside. We had not been made aware that this would happen or what to do, so we were stuck outside for a while trying to call someone to open the door! Otherwise it was a great stay and would defintely visit again.

This hotel is in a beautiful setting with a lovely pool and very friendly staff. Our room was nice although we had expected it to feel a little more special than it was given the marketing and association with Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH). The dining experience was okay although limited, we wouldn't want every meal in-house, luckily there are a small number of other hotel restaurants nearby, KK Beach was a particularly nice Hotel and restaurant just a short tuktuk ride away with really good food and service. As lovely as the staff at Tabula Rasa are, some could do with good service training and Gin and Tonic is always a good test. At Tabula Rasa the G&T arrives as a glass with a measure of local gin (no choice) and a bottle of tonic water, everywhere else including KK Beach we were offered a choice of gin, ice and lemon already in the glass. To their credit, Tabula Rasa did bring ice and lemon each time after we asked for it. The wine list was disappointing, there wasn't one, it was red or white and sometimes there was a choice between two reds or two whites but not always, I have to say that it's not very Small Luxury Hotels in respect of food and drinks. The manager was very nice and asked us to leave a nice review because the rating has been slipping, I understand why. I really hope they can improve in the small areas needed because it really is a lovely oasis in the hills.
