Good afternoon. We rested at the Temple Tree resort and spa from December 8 to December 18, 2024.
A good hotel, a great place for introverts and people who just want to take a break from people and the hustle and bustle) . Now for the points:
The room is good, not great and not perfect, but the price is appropriate, you need to understand this, plus do not forget that this is Asia). The room has a nice bed with a comfortable mattress, a mini-refrigerator, air conditioning - old, but working. TV (not used). Working WiFi. There was a fan hanging over the bed, we only turned it on. Kettle, glasses, cups and saucers, tea/ coffee / sugar / 2 bottles of water, which were replenished every day during cleaning. A wardrobe with 2 hangers and a safe. The bathroom is combined with a shower stall with a rain shower, the water was always hot. There is no hair dryer, no toothbrush/toothpaste, and no slippers. There was a balcony with two armchairs, a small dryer, 2 wide beach towels and a pair of swimsuits could easily fit on it.
Beach towels were in the room, very comfortable.
Cleaning was carried out every day, shower towels were changed daily, the supply of shower gel, shampoo, toilet paper was replenished.
The furniture itself is wooden, yes, with chips, the closet creaked when opened, the curtains need dry cleaning, but for us these are small things.
Meal. We had half board, i.e. breakfast and dinner included, without alcohol. European and Lankan/Indian cuisine is presented. Buffet-style meals. Breakfast: different variations of egg dishes (boiled soft-boiled, scramble, poached+ an omelet was cooked under the knife when you were there), chicken sausages and bacon, pancakes, pancakes, cereals, plus local cuisine (for me it was too spicy, immediately passed by). Fruits: guava, mini bananas, papaya, pineapple, watermelon. Very tasty. Salads with fresh vegetables, ice cream, coffee/tea, desserts (not bad) .
Dinner: chicken, shrimp in some sauce, beef (tough), squid, fish, rice, pasta, pasta, soup, and again, Indian and local cuisine. Salads, fruits. Desserts were often prepared from under the knife - fried banana in batter with ice cream or fried pineapple in batter). Shrimps in batter were also cooked. And for 1 day we cooked barbecue from different types of meat.
You will definitely not stay hungry.
Alcohol, as I wrote, was not included in our meals, but there are 2 bars next to the kitchen, if desired, you can order alcohol there (I saw that people were brought wine, cocktails, beer).I can't figure out the prices, we bought local rum and sprite, and made cocktails in the evenings on our own.
Beach area: clean, the guys cleaned daily. The sand is clean, fine and very sticky. Sun beds (there are a lot of them, there will be enough for everyone), were located under palm trees, very convenient. People were lying at a distance from each other, there was a lot of space, a thrill for lovers of solitude and silence. You definitely won't lie side by side with other people, even during peak season.
There is always a place for shade, if desired, you can pull out a sunbed and sunbathe.
The ocean itself: warm, beautiful, but there have always been waves. The red flag hung throughout our vacation. It is difficult to swim, for a couple of days we did not go into the ocean at all, only wet our feet, because the waves were too strong. This needs to be taken into account.
We need to swim carefully, we got used to it after a couple of days, swam between the waves, and during the waves we jumped and dived so as not to be washed ashore. There were 2 swimming pools for comfortable swimming - clean, warm.
Animation:in the usual sense, it does not exist (and thank God). During the dinner, a saxophonist/ a local musician played guitar / dancers performed. It's all on different days).
For lunch, we went to the Induruwa Beach Club restaurant, a 2-minute walk along the beach. Delicious, but expensive.
We went to the neighboring Bentota by tuk-tuk for rum, because there is nothing in Induruva itself. There are tuk-tukers in front of the hotel, I advise you to download the pick me app, it's something like our Uber or Yandex.go, so that you can understand how much a trip to a particular place costs. We haggled, drove a little more expensive than the application showed, but also did not overpay 2 prices) agree on the price in advance, before we got into the tuk-tuk.
That's about it.
Summarizing the above, it is a great place for introverts, without movement, for a relaxing holiday. Drive with a good mood, and don't focus on the little things, and the rest will be great)

This was my fourth hotel in Sri Lanka, so there is something to compare it with. I really didn't like the service, the tasteless food, the narrow beach, the waves are bigger than other hotels in the Bentota area, and the rooms are two times smaller. If you want to return to other hotels, then this one is for nothing. The prices on the restaurant menu and in bars are greatly inflated, fans are not turned on for breakfast and dinner, so it's stuffy and simply impossible to eat, and the water that is updated daily in the room is brought in open bottles, poured from nowhere. In no country in the world, in no hotel, except for this, have I ever seen a beach towel given out alone for the entire period of stay, it's all covered in sand and does not dry out after a day, there is no music at all.

We stayed at this hotel in March, the weather is excellent, the water temperature is comfortable. Among the advantages - quiet, peaceful, delicious and varied food, lots of fruits, lots of products, air conditioning and fans in all rooms. Friendly and smiling staff, the beach is clean, there is no problem with sun beds, there are free ones at any time of the day. Beautiful view of the ocean. There were no mosquitoes, although everyone was scaring us with them.
Of the minuses - bed linen and towels are rarely changed - you need to ask, there are no scales to weigh your luggage before departure and we really did not like the hotel guide (from the word at all).But we found a way out - the reviews had contacts of a local "guide" who speaks Russian and it was a gift of fate, he drove us to all the iconic places in a great car, helped us choose tea, fruits, rum and much more. So look for SUDI on the beach (name, emphasis on and). He's cool - calm, respectful, executive, and most importantly speaks Russian. In short, we liked the rest, we learned a lot of interesting things from the history of Sri Lanka. We recommend it!!!
