    Wish I had stayed longer here. I took so many pics of the interior and it will be how I style my future. I loved it here. The staff were friendly and the grilled prawns were the nicest I’ve had in a very long time. Absolutely beautiful food. The pool is great for a didn’t staring out at the ocean. My favourite place I stayed in Sri Lanka and I’m coming to the end of my trip. The town has such charm too when you walk along the beach. It’s very much worth the visit here!! Thank you for a great stay.

    Expert and attentive service. Gorgeous private space on a wild beach. Fantastic food; poached egg was a dream.

    We had an amazing time at Coco Tangalle - the staff is super friendly, food was amazing and the private balcony and outdoor bathroom in our room made this place truly special. When we had to leave very early for our transfer to Ella / Safari they prepared a little breakfast to go bag for us which we really appreciated. Definitely would come back here!

    It was amazing! The pool was clean, the whole place is lovely and a really nice aesthetic. It’s right on the beach, but unfortunately the waves are too big to swim there. However it’s still beautiful to watch the sunrise and take pictures.

    If you are scared of bugs I wouldn’t recommend choosing the twin room as the bathroom was open. I think they also have rooms with closed bathrooms though!

    This superb hotel is in a beautiful setting. You can walk through the gate straight onto the beach. The sea was quite rough during our stay so we couldn't swim but the pool is heavenly so there's no need to. The rooms were perfect, and ours had a large bath with tons of piping hot water available. The food was amazing. We ate here 2 of our 3 nights, and they amended the set menu to suit us. During our stay I had to spend a night in hospital and the staff couldn't do enough for us. They arranged transport and completely looked after us. I can't fault this hotel and if I ever return to Sri Lanka would definitely re visit. Thankyou

    Gorgeous property with a private beach . The house is beautifully decorated- you feel as if you are staying in your own private villa . The staff are exceptionally good - discreet, friendly and very good at their jobs . The food is excellent and while the bedrooms are small , there are many communal areas so it doesn’t matter at all . Come here if you are looking for an authentic experience.

    Dinner is offered at the hotel , but unlike lunch is a three course meal which didn’t suit us . The option to have one or two courses would be good .

    Breakfasts were excellent, especially the Sri Lankan omelettes. Very friendly staff.

    The rooms were a little smaller than we had expected.

    Great hospitality, fab food - the prawns were especially delicious! Twice daily turn down service was really nice to have. We also used their laundry service which worked smoothly. My partner has a couple of food allergies and these were dealt with extremely well, and remembered throughout the stay. Fantastic colonial property which has been very tastefully renovated and decorated. Direct access to an untouched beach (not suitable for sunbathing but we really liked how natural it was). Room was also great. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.

    Nothing of note. Only very slight thing would be the lack of a kettle in the room (which with my cynical hat on may suggest that this is to generate more revenue from drink sales), however the quality of the drinks being provided was excellent with very good coffees, teas and juices - so wouldn’t mark it down for this

    The quality of the offering was excellent from the facilities, staff through to the food was beyond my expectations. On site add-ons such as massage and laundry service was provided too, for a small 6 bedroomed hotel that was excellent. Super place for a total chill to savour Sri Lankan hospitality at its best. Thanks to Dinuka and team for an amazing stay, even the unexpected downpours could not dampen my spirits at Coco Tangalle. I travel to Sri Lanka often, this one is going to be a repeat.

    Hard to find anything, maybe a chair in my bedroom would have been nice, however, there were so many other areas to sit and relax, including beautiful large day, it wasn't a problem. You can't swim just at the edge of the property, but you can walk along to where it is safe (without rocks).

    The staff were very attentive and helpful, when told that we would be leaving early the following day, they ensured that staff were awake and present to help with our bags and also provided us with a pack lunch! All the food consumed was delicious (we stayed for the 3 course meal at the actual hotel and it was incredible value for money!) and we wish we had stayed longer then 1 night, the rooms were comfy and clean. The hotel is small (6 rooms) however it provides a more personal experience with staff and the facilities were amazing.

    The staff are all amazing, keeping the place clean, beautiful and always attentive to help. Dinuka, the manager is absolutely professional, he really can make your stay easy… and all of them with a great smile. The pool by night is a must.

    Is not possible to swim in the sea, the beach is full of beautiful rocks and the sea is strong.

    Boutique beach villa vibe with direct beach access, loved the decor, staff and food were great.

    If I was being picky the pool temperature is too hot otherwise loved it.

    The colonial architecture was lovely and the pool by the sea was large and very nice. You could order food or a drink by the pool easily. Breakfast was good too.

    Our bedroom looked onto a small corridor with the entrance to another room so we had to keep the blinds closed for privacy. We also had two separate beds, which was not what we wanted as a couple. One can not swim at the beach in front of the hotel but there are many beautiful beaches nearby.
