“Very bad experience”
Subject: Complaint Regarding Unprofessional Behavior at Ralepla Resort Dear Booking.com Team, I recently stayed at Ralepla Resort and had a very disappointing experience. The manager appeared to be intoxicated in the morning and was shouting at guests regarding payment. This behavior was extremely unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Additionally, the rooms were not as shown in the photos online. The condition and quality did not match the images displayed on Booking.com, which felt misleading. I request that you please look into this matter seriously to prevent other travelers from facing a similar experience. Thank you.

“Nature is taking over.”
It has a huge natural vibe. Within the vicinity the wildlife is overwhelming. Great for turtle watching at night, but please keep your distance doing so.

“Fantastic quiet beach front eco lodge”
Fantastic location and great eco cabanas. At the time we were there only one canabana was operational so has the whole place to our self. Place needs some works as it's a bit run down but has charm. Amazing beach front place would recommend.

“Very cool if you're willing to rough it a little.”
A lovely spot in the country, just a few seconds away from the beautiful beach! Bustling with wildlife, there was a peacock nesting in my ceiling, crab burrows all around my porch, troupes of monkeys roaming around, and huge monitor lizards crawling out of the lagoon! Reasonable priced, with friendly staff who'll open one of the many coconuts lying around for free, the only downside was that it was a little rundown - ceiling dropping some dirt onto one of the beds, a few ants in the room. And the WiFi barely reached the rooms. Aircon worked well. Definitely recommend if you are tough.

“Needs some improvements”
This has the potential to be a really lovely place but it just needs some improvements! The location is great, right next to the beach and the rooms are a good size with a clean bathroom/good water pressure. The AC works well But!

“Превосходное место для релакса”
Thanks to Dinith for the amazing hospitality! We had a great time! The location of the resort is excellent: in front of the ocean and next to the lake. The territory of the resort is very nice: spacious, green grass, clean pepper paths... High-quality and delicious breakfasts. We will definitely come to this place again!

The hosts are lovely. We arrived later in the evening and they were super welcoming and caring. The breakfast was amazing and the stay itself is huge and super close to the beach. They just reopened after 6 years and it’s definitely worth supporting! We can only recommend :-)
