• “We discovered Moi by a coincidence as we were searching for 18 Sanniya shown on Google Map instead. However, Moi took us by surprise and we ended up going to Moi for breakfast 2 days in a row. First, the ambience of the restaurant was just cozy and tranquil. Even though it is situated by the main road, it feels like it is shielded from all the honking and screeching. You can enjoy the seaview by swing on the swings if you may. Second, the staff was just so friendly and hospitable. They were all smiley and polite. They went above and beyond to help if needed. Most importantly, the food was just good. On the first day, we ordered English Breakfast. The Sri Lankan omelette was fantastic. The coconut pancakes were out of the world!! On the second day, we ordered coconut pancakes again as there were just pure gold and instead, we tried Sri Lankan breakfast. It came with Dhal curry, chicken or fish curry, coconut sambal, a bread basket and, again, Sri Lankan omelette. This breakfast was HUGE. We both could not finish it and asked for some bread to-go. We highly recommend Moi for anyone to enjoy the good food, hospitality and quiet environment.”

• “Moi Talpe was the highlight of my Talpe trip! I originally planned to visit Morning Coffee at the villa because the cute swings were at the top of my Talpe itinerary, and I can honestly say it was completely worth it. From the moment we arrived, the first impression was excellent. The staff welcomed us warmly and made us feel comfortable right away. I was so happy to see that there were two swings (which can be enjoyed by up to four people at once) as well as a rope swing. The entire place has a very calm, peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing. We ordered drinks, and they were absolutely delicious. While we were enjoying the view, the villa manager, Mr. Suranga, came over and kindly asked if I would like to try the rope swing. I had wanted to try it, but I thought it was closed at the time, so his gesture truly made my day. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and another staff member who assisted us was also very kind and helpful. I came here just for coffee, but after spending time at Moi Talpe, I genuinely regretted not choosing it as my place to stay. The cleanliness and hygiene were outstanding, the food was amazing, and every member of the team made the experience special. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful surroundings, great food and drinks, and genuinely wonderful people, I highly recommend Moi Talpe. I will definitely be visiting again!”

• “We had such a lovely stay at Moi Talpe. It honestly feels more like a beautiful old colonial bungalow than a typical hotel, and the views are just unreal. The place itself is a solid 10/10. What really stood out for us was the staff. Everyone was so warm, kind, and genuinely went out of their way to make us feel comfortable throughout our stay. We were there celebrating our 5th anniversary and had asked if they could arrange a candlelight dinner by the beach. Even though it was pretty windy that night, the team happily made it happen and put in extra effort to make it special — which meant a lot to us. Not many people seem to know this, but the hotel has its own kitchen and the food was amazing. Super fresh seafood, full of flavour, and always served with big smiles. If you’re looking for a calm, peaceful, and private place to stay, I’d recommend Moi Talpe in a heartbeat. It’s one of those places that just feels special.”

• “Had an amaaaaaaazing stay at MOI Talpe. It was a last moment decision to come to down south but worth it all. Its cozy and peacuful and had a beautiful ocean view. Had a swing towards the ocean by the outdoor. U caN even walk down to the beach. What touched me most was the hospitality the staff provided. Was so welcoming and checked on everything and made sure we had a great stay untill we checkout. It was my moms bday they made sure to decorate the bed and for dinner they have got some balloons and a candle saying "happy bday amma" and even played happy bday amma song which touched my heart. This was so lovely for them to go over an beyond. All the staff were amazing. Suranga the supervisor was exceptionally helpful and great customer service. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the seaside.
