"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."

"room was clean but the bed was uncomfortable. staff were polite. nice pool"

"Loved our 3 days at Taru Villas. Beautiful, quiet boutique hotel on a fabulous beach. The staff made the hotel feel like home -they were exceptional. Particular shout out to Pramodya who made us very welcome, and to Sam who went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Restaurant was also excellent!"

"Hotel felt dated and neglected. The breakfast was cold and inedible, so we ate out each morning. However, we felt it would have been pointless telling the staff as they seemed uninterested and like they had their spirit broken. The room was dirty and sheet were stained, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. It needs shutdown and given a deep deep deep clean then remodelled. I suspect the owner or manager need to try and build up their staffs morale as the staff were so unhappy it felt awkward. "

"Room was very basic for the cost "

"I must be honest at first I was a bit sceptical about staying in this place. The pictures just didn’t make me feel like it would be a place I want to stay at. So I booked just a few days and then I ended up extending my stay and I stayed here for two weeks I absolutely loved it. The guys that work here were always so attentive and anything I needed or wanted just to make my stay more comfortable. They would always try to get for me. I am so grateful for everyone who works here. I felt safe. I felt taken care of. I will definitely be back. I miss it here every day."
