We stayed there for a few days and it exceeded my expectations. The hotel was very clean and nice. Also the staff was amazing. Everyone was helpful and very sweet to talk to. Especially an elder man with glasses. He was so lovely. Would definently go back and can only recommend. Also the beach is literally in the backyard. The surfer beach is also only a kilometer from the hotel so you can also walk over there.

Our stay was made truly special by the exceptional hospitality of Enrico, the hotel owner. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and honest, going above and beyond to assist us with arranging transportation and renting a scooter through his great local contacts—all at very reasonable prices. The hotel itself is in an amazing, convenient spot, perfectly situated between Ahangama, Mirissa, and Weligama, with each just about 10 minutes away. The presidential suite was awesome, and it was an absolute pleasure staying at Enrico's hotel. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a personal touch and excellent value in a fantastic location.

Wonderful, beautiful boutique hotel! Very nice, relaxing atmosphere in all areas and territory! The hotel is located on the mountain, from where there is a stunning view! The rooms are large, with a nice design. Very comfortable bed with impeccable bed linen! The hotel has two swimming pools: one in the garden on the lower level, and the second one is on the roof - super! Very beautiful restaurant and bar; it was nice to have breakfast and dinner enjoying the beautiful views of Mirissa! Wi-Fi works great! The elevator that takes you up to the hotel is reliable and works without interruption. Thanks to the hotel and its owner for a pleasant and comfortable stay in all respects! Definitely recommend!!!

The hosts are a wonderful family, super friendly and helpful. They built those beautiful apartments nearby the river allowing visitors to be in the centre of the rainforest. The river is quite loud so one needs to hear that in mind but I personally loved it, such closeness to nature.

My mum and I had a lovely stay in Moringa Mirisa. The rooms are very newly decorated, comfortable and modern. There were tea and coffee making facilities and the rooms were well air conditioned. The staff were very friendly, helpful and polite. They always had a smile and a friendly hello for us. The breakfast was delicious and there was loads of it. We really lived the fresh fruit. The free cold water was a nice touch. The hotel is a 7 minute walk to the beach.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The service was outstanding – every staff member was warm, friendly, and always ready to help. The location couldn’t be better, just steps away from the beach, which made it so easy to enjoy the ocean anytime. The in-house Elements Café is a real highlight: the coffee was excellent, and the smoothie bowl was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot to relax after a swim. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great hospitality, great food, and the perfect beachfront location!

The Rainforest Ecolodge - Sinharaja with Shuttle Service from Car Park

Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.8
Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 13 reviews
Absolutely the Best Way to Explore the Sinharaja Rainforest! This was our favourite place we stayed on Sri Lanka trip. This eco-lodge is hands down the ultimate way to experience the magic of the Sinharaja Rainforest. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear you’re in for something extraordinary. The location is beyond words—completely surrounded by lush rainforests, making you feel truly immersed in nature. It is so peaceful and quite - no noise from roads, traffic etc. The staff made our entire stay seamless and stress-free. They have a convenient car park in the nearby village, where they meet you and transfer you up to the lodge in a 4x4—what a fun start to the adventure! We stayed for two nights (but would have happily stayed a 3rd). The accommodation is spectacular. Large windows on every side of the room allow you to feel like you’re right in the heart of the jungle. Waking up to the incredible sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable, and we even spotted monkeys and exotic birds right in our room! Amazingly, you also get wifi in your room. The staff were outstanding, from the friendly restaurant team to the knowledgeable guides. On arrival, the Duty Manager, Mithun, warmly welcomed us, explained all the details about meal times, and helped us plan treks into the rainforest. They offer a variety of treks and provide you with a guide. They are also pretty flexible, We wanted a longer trek to explore more of the jungle and this wasn't a problem. The trek itself was a dream. We spotted an incredible variety of wildlife, including lizards, snakes, and a stunning array of Sri Lankan birds. The guides were so knowledgeable and enhanced the experience. Overall, this was incredible value for money. Running such a well-maintained eco-lodge in the middle of the rainforest can’t be easy, yet they make it feel effortless. If you’re looking for great value for money and an unforgettable way to explore Sinharaja, this is absolutely it.

The very quiet Gardens, the lovely breakfasts, beautiful empty beach, lovely pool and courteous attentive staff. We had a gorgeous room with an out door,roll top bath. If you're looking for a quiet beach, this will hit the spot. The waves are strong so probably best for confident swimmers though you won't have to be an Olympian! The main house is also gorgeous with an airy colonial vibe. Evening meals can be taken at the beach restaurant over the road ( not a busy road). The place is gated with a 24hour watch for the security minded. Various swings, hammocks and board games dotted around. Peacocks, bee-eaters, monitor lizards and chipmunks abound. Heard a Coppersmith Barbet but didn't see it. Fruit bats fly over at sunset. Heaven!

Steambath was great in the shower. The staff was very kind and professional, we got a free upgrade upon arrival to the best room of the resort with a great view and a private pool.

The facilities were well-kept, clean, accessible and made for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the breathtaking views while relaxing beside the pool and the surrounding beaches. Numerous activities keep everyone busy and entertained. We snorkeled with sea turtles and was fortunate enough to witness some hatching. I would highly recommend a visit to this beautiful resort.

Mirissa in my opinion has a completely different vibe to the other beach areas I stayed at being Hiriketiyah and Unawatuna. While it does have attractions like Coconut Hill, it lacks the intimacy, character and ambience of the above mentioned beach areas and for that reason I would advise a shorter stay to experience Mirissa. One night was adequate for me.

Weligama is a truly charming coastal town that offers the perfect balance of natural beauty, relaxation, and local culture. The famous Weligama beach with its golden sands and gentle waves is ideal for swimming, surfing, and long peaceful walks, especially during sunset. The area has a calm and welcoming atmosphere, with friendly locals, excellent seafood, and a variety of cafes and restaurants to enjoy. Whether you are looking for adventure, wellness, or simply a quiet escape, Weligama provides a refreshing and memorable experience. Its scenic surroundings, lush greenery, and warm hospitality make Weligama a must-visit destination for anyone travelling to Sri Lanka.

Matara isn't a big town so it is relatively quick to get from A to B. The beach is beautiful. But there aren't that many restaurants in in the town. The Matara Rest House near the fort had good food and drinks and is one of the most worth it dining options nearby. Lemon is also a good option. There are restaurants closer to the touristy spots but those are on the pricier side. snorkeling with turtles is popular in Matara.

Talalla beach is clean and not crowded like many on the South coast of Sri Lanka. Relax all day under the sun and take a dip in to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Not really a surfing beach but the right hand end in front of Talalla Retreat is safe for swimming. Friendly locals and a small supermarket nearby. Ate at all the local restaurants - they were all excellent, especially Manju Cinnamon Hut.

The hotel management are not good to deal with and I would not recommend this place at all. It looks pretty on the outside but full of problems and poor design, unsafe and unhygienic aspects that are a major concern. Hiring hot water shower that has no safety option even when it is not on high hot water setting, it can burn. The deluxe room we were offered has no windows at all and a dingy hole with no natural light or ventilation but advertised as having an outdoor dining room. It is falsely advertised to mislead people an we refused to stay in the room and had a mattress in the sea view room for which they charged us half the room rate when we didn’t even have a ton, just a mattress an they failed to even provide a towel. Their service is horrendous - stay away from this place and don’t be misled by the pretty photos like we’re. Even beach there not safe to swim and too far from Mirissa main beach so there is really nothing going for this place except the superficial looks.
