The location was excellent a few steps to get to a wonderful beach. Nice restaurant and swimming pool. The staff was lovely, always smiling and helpful. There was a lot of vegetation and all the rooms had tea/coffe facilities. The beds had mosquito nets and the hotel was providing the spirals that burn to keep the mosquitoes away. There was grass and stepping stones. There were 2 areas to practice yoga: one was roofed and the other in the open area under the palm trees.

The toilet did not have a door for privacy. There was a curtain instead that many times was blown by the wind while one was sat on the toilet. The lack of door also facilitated the access to monkeys/ birds into the bedroom as half of the bathroom was not roofed. Also there were no panels in the balcony, so when the straw blind was open everyone in the pool, courtyard could see us. We used our sarongs to get some privacy. The shower head needed replacing as some of the holes were blocked by the rust and the water was going everywhere!

Absolutely everything! This place is like an oasis and as soon as you arrive, you don’t want to leave! It had everything we could possibly want and exceeded our expectations. Talalla itself is quiet but it has everything you could need.

Nothing at all.

we really enjoyed the room concept and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The yoga teachers and massage staff really know what they’re doing and take their time explaining, if necessary. It was awesome to sleep in an open bedroom (even if we got woken up by monkeys stealing our snacks or generally wreaking havoc a couple of times) and their food was sooo good, especially the pancakes in the morning are a must!!

We loved staying here but if you’re looking for nightlife or evening activities there’s not much to do in the immediate area. You have to get a tuktuk and drive at least 15-20min to get to nice (western) restaurants and bars. If you’re looking for pure relaxation, however, then this is the place to come.

a beautiful retreat. Super spacious. The pool was fabulous. Definitely somewhere to come and completely relax!

the only thing I would say which is probably part of the experience - I was in an upstairs room and while I love the outdoor concept, if you’re not a real heavy sleeper you might have some issues with sleep as you really do hear everything!

Perfectly tranquil, possibly the best undisturbed beach in the world

The snake! But you know this is their domain and we are just visitors in their kingdom
