    Beautiful resort close to the town center (tuk tuk ride 2 minutes). It is located at the beach and has large swimming pool, water is warm and clean. There is pool bar as well so you can enjoy the cold Lion beer ;) Stuff is excellent. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Beautiful resort located on an empty beach, Pool is big, breakfast was very tasty - local Sri Lankan dishes but also pancakes, eggs… very friendly staff and cosy surroundings.

    Would have liked replacement water in our room everyday and coffee, tea. Food at Ganesh restaurant was ok. Would have liked more vegetables(spinach, Jack fruit etc) besides potatoes and carrots.

    Beach, spacious room, comfortable bed, breakfast was excellent, friendly welcoming staff.

    The resort was tricky to find at first but so worth the effort! We had such a great stay that we decided to extend our stay there .. the staff were terrific and could not have been more helpful. The room was spacious, clean and had a great view of the resort and ocean. The breakfasts were a great start to the day!

    Pool and the location on the beach front. We had an issue in the room which was immediately sorted out. People were super friendly. It is a bit of a walk to the restaurants but we enjoyed that and being away from the crowds

    The hairdryer lacked any power. (Take your own) Wi-Fi in room very slow, bit a bit better in the bar area. They put on a big new year's eve party which was great, but lots of plastic cups, straws etc left on the beach, even though they did 'clean up' after party.

    Beautiful location on a stunning beach, not crowded. Short walk to the beach bars in Tangalle. We had a large room with large walk in shower, big comfortable bed and good air conditioning. We had a terrace overlooking the jungle, so saw lots of birds, squirrels etc. Mini fridge in room. Breakfast was good, and the staff in the restaurant were friendly and helpful. The pool bar staff, Kavindu and Chalani were lovely, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Beach towels available.

    Upon entering the hotel, we thought it was modern and newly built. But it was even more amazing than we had imagined. Our room, facing the lagoon, was perfectly clean and fully furnished with minimal touches. What made it even more attractive was watching the lagoon birds fly by. We spent about an hour in the free canoe. Afterwards, I can highly recommend the massages at the spa, which were the best I have ever had. There is a snooker table and bar downstairs, and a short distance between the hotel building and the ocean, there is a beautiful and large "infinity" swimming pool with a second bar, directly at water level. The staff are very kind and friendly but always respect their own privacy. We would definitely be happy to spend a few more days here if we return to Tangalle.

    Excellent hotel! Convenience, comfort, cleanliness. The most beautiful beach I have ever been to. The service was very friendly and resolved every request immediately. Wi-Fi available on the whole area, when I reported the problem once, it was immediately resolved. The food is delicious. Prices same as anywhere else. Lovely dogs very happy to see you. I can honestly say that this was the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

    - The personal was very slow, almost no one understood English. - There were a lot of dogs on the territory, which inconvenienced us by trying to steal food straight from the plates, and the staff did not even react. - The prices in the hotel restaurant are quite high. - there is no safe, TV, electric kettle and tea/coffee in the room (this is not a claim: this is a two-star hotel and there are no such facilities in the description, but just keep this in mind).

    - The hotel is located on the very shore of the ocean. - A large swimming pool. - The grounds, the hotel and the room were clean. - The building and the room where we lived are quite new. - We were given a better room than we had booked. - A pleasant tuk-tuk driver, which was ordered for us at the reception. - Note: Google Maps shows very few restaurants around, but in fact there are many cozy, cute restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

    Nothing more to add.

    The hotel is paired with its immediate neighbour next door, under the same ownership. They operate as one complex, sharing facilities. The one unit has the reception, main restaurant and chalet rooms next to the beach. The other is a characterless hotel building with a pleasant pool separating it from the beach. We were offered the choice. Prices were the same. For us it was a no-brainer. The location of the chalets is great. The beach is very pleasant but swimming was definitely not safe. Maybe it was a bad couple of days, or the wrong time of year. We were not over-impressed with the restaurant, which was also quite pricey.

    It's a little far from the town but this also makes it a peaceful and silent location, that it's often not the case with other accommodations nearer to the central area. Anyway tuk tuks are always easily available. Also, in all Tangalle, swimming in the sea can often be dangerous, due to strong currents. But the hotel's swimming pool compensate this very well

    This brand new hotel is a spin-off of the longstanding Ganesh Garden Beach Cabanas that's just beside and it seems as if it's tought to accommodate the customers who like an hotel room better than a cabana. The sea-view room where we have been was perfectly clean and full furnished with a minimalist touch. Down in the hall there's a snooker table and the bar and, in the short distance between the hotel building and the ocean, a beautiful and big sized "infinity" swimming pool with a second bar, this one directly at water level. The staff is very kind and friendly but always respectful of one's own privacy. If we will happen to come back in Tangalle we'll definitely be happy to spend some more days here.

    The stay was too short! Unable to swim in the sea, which we knew beforehand, but a great swimming pool with a swim up bar.

    A very relaxing hotel located on a quiet beach. Great restaurant with fabulous fresh fish. Located a short walk from "The Lounge' that also served great cocktails and coffee.

    Clean and new hotel with a large swimming pool right on the beach. No problem with sun loungers and hammocks. The rooms are spacious and air-conditioned. Very nice and helpful staff. There are several very nice restaurants around (within 1 km).
