Spa Hotels & Resorts in Talalla from AU$155

"One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Rooms are large with all amenities you could need - including steam room in the shower. Property is well kept, with wildlife around. Lovely beach with beach club and a fabulous crescent shaped infinity pool with unbelievable views over the bay. Food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful - Salman in particular helped really make the stay extra special, seeing that every need we had was met. Couldn’t recommend this place more."

"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."

"The hotel hosts weddings. On this day there is lots of noise. Sound testing for hours. Loud music. Interrupts on the access to the beach. Horrible!!!! Be ware. !!! Your vacation will not be quiet "
