“Turtle Lamp distinguishes itself with a deeply local feel, a quiet remove from Unawatuna's busier strips. I admire the attention to practical details-guests have access to a shared kitchen, and rooms include washing machines, a real boon for longer stays. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, a short ride from the beach but a world away in atmosphere.”
