"The property is not on the beach so dont get fooled by beach bar. This is on a highway. One has to cross the road to go to the public beach. Very very noisy property. Cant have food or sleep in peace. Not recommended . "

"We stayed here for two nights and it was lovely. The hotel was a 30 second walk from the beach and in the perfect location for everything around. The hosts were very nice and helped us with our bags, the rooms were clean and well looked after. Would recommend 👍 "

"clean room, good staff, amazing view"

"Brilliant property with amazing sea view rooms. good surfing at the beach. very good staff. "

"Room and bathroom were great. The staff were excellent. Pool was OK, lounging area a bit small. Restaurant downstairs is overpriced."

"Great room, only issue is that it's close to the main road so the front (deluxe) rooms are a bit noisy."

"The staff and location were great, but my room had an ant problem in the bathroom and the sheets felt clean but were stained. They gave me a late check out and held my bags for an hour, so that was nice, but unfortunately room 204 did not feel worth the price. The groubds are nice though"

"Absolutely loved this hotel. Great location in a beautiful setting, gorgeous rooms, helpful staff. "

"Talalla Retreat is marketed as a serene oceanfront wellness escape. Unfortunately, my experience did not align with that image. I prepaid for a Sea View Category Room. Upon arrival, I was shown to a room in a separate “new” building far from the sea, facing jungle greenery with a shared balcony. It did not reflect what most guests would reasonably expect from a sea view booking. When I raised this immediately, I was told there were no alternatives available. The options were to accept the room, move after two days to a non-AC open-air room, or cancel with a 20% late cancellation fee. After lengthy discussions, I chose not to stay. The main payment was refunded, but the cancellation fee was retained. The overall atmosphere felt commercial rather than retreat-like. Meals were buffet-only and did not appear particularly appetising. Some areas lacked the level of cleanliness and maintenance one would expect from a wellness-focused property. Staff were polite but inflexible, and the resolution process felt policy-driven rather than guest-centred. If you are attending a structured retreat and prioritise location over accommodation standards, it may suit you. However, if booking independently based on the marketing imagery, clarify the exact room location and view in advance. The natural setting is beautiful — the operational experience needs refinement."
