Kids loved the pool and the food. We planned to stay two nights and finally we stayed for 5. The team is really nice and helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Quiet place. A lot of restaurants around the corner. Close to a secluded beach with the chance to see baby turtles. 🐢

The rooms are very clean and they have a big size, specially the bathroom. But better than the hotel are all the staff members. They take care of us at dinner, at breakfast and at all the moments. The location is perfect to visit the turtle beach.

The apartment is in a quiet location, just a 2-minute walk from the beautiful Turtle Beach. It has its own restaurant where you can enjoy all your meals — and the food is amazing, honestly some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. There are also some great bars and restaurants nearby. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The owner is fantastic — he helps with everything: turtle watching, scooter rentals, tuk-tuks, airport transfers, you name it… and all at a fair price.

I'm not quite sure how to put our experience into words. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we were treated like family. The accommodation is very tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The bathroom shower is huge & the bedrooms spacious. The location is ideal - 2 minute walk to Turtle Beach. When we were there, it was isolated due to low season - it was like heaven! The owners took us to the beach and showed us around as well as taking us to the forest behind the property to look at the lagoon. Everything about this place it perfect - ideal for a family stay. We also enjoyed a good meal in the restaurant in the evening and a hearty breakfast in the morning.

Breakfast is amazing but I would not recommend to have dinner there.

Everything- what a hidden gem. The owner is fantastic. Room is amazing and breakfast fantastic. Completely empty beach and turtles in the evening 😍. There is a little turtle restaurant on the beach which serves great good. Payment with card is possible.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The room was clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. The location was perfect – close to beautiful beach, restaurants, yet quiet enough for a peaceful night's sleep. The breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of fresh and tasty options. I also appreciated the attention to detail and cleanliness throughout the entire hotel. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better stay. I would definitely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

The location, room, staff and hotel grounds were all lovely! The room was impeccably clean, and very big in size. We’ve been travelling in Sri Lanka for 3 weeks now, and so far this is our fave accommodation! The staff were all so lovely, they helped me arrange laundry at a great price. As well as walk me to the beach and lagoon to show me the surrounds.

Exceptional Stay at Seine Waves Turtle! Our stay at Seine Waves Turtle in Tangalle was absolutely amazing. The rooms are brand new, spacious, and very comfortable, while the bathroom was simply a dream. The location is perfect—right in the middle of nature and the best spot to observe sea turtles. It’s just a one-minute walk from the Turtle Center, making it incredibly convenient for nature lovers. The owner was very attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. We also rented scooters to explore the beautiful surroundings, which was a great experience. Another highlight was the huge balconies, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. We truly loved our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Tangalle!

Amazing sweet little homestay pretty much on the beach. Very quiet and great restaurants nearby. Away from the tourists and really surrounded by nature. A hidden gem in an area that has yet to be ruined by tourism. We loved it!

Everybody should be aware that the beach is CLOSED to public from 7 pm to 7 am because a so called “ protecting “ turtles organization monopolizes the beach , asking for 2000 rupees to see those poor turtles laying eggs ( sometimes groups of 20 people arriving BY BUS: DISGUSTING). We refused to take part of this and I would like that all the accommodations in this area would not encourage this animal exploiting . We were verbally attacked at 8 pm on the beach by an aggressive so called guide pretending to protect a turtle we spotted , while he was shouting close to it and wanted us to pay the ticket ! Those people should be reported, we will do that !

Cleanest huge room ever. The owner built 2 floors big rooms bungalow, so every accomodation doesn’t have direct neighbors and therefore is quite and private . The bed was king and comfortable, very big bathroom , hot water and high pressure. We slept without AC and appreciate the ceiling fan. Breakfast was great: every day something different is offered . The position is unbeatable, close to a beautiful Long Beach ( no swimming though). The owner went an extra mile to arrange a scooter , provide meeKiri and always asked if we needed anything . The surrounding area offers a large number of restaurants and cafes , very quiet st night and the lagoon is pure poetry . We are now in talalla and no comparison : we miss already SHINE.

I can write thousands of words about how good this experience was. We stayed 2 nights, and everything was beyond perfection. Rooms are big, very clean, smell fanstastic, the internet is good, and hot water all the time. Breakfast was fantastic, different in both days. Absolutely perfect! But what makes this accomodation amazing are the people here. So attentive to everything! We were just looking at one of the umbrellas offered for each room, and they immediately brought a big beach umbrella. There are peacocks around, and one came in the garden. They started feeding the peacocks immediately so we could watch it. Accommodation is close to the wild beach, and there are plenty of restaurants around. 10/10, recommend it!
