What a place!! We stayed as a family of 4 (2 children 10/12) in an Oceanfront view room. Large double bed and 2 day beds for the kids! Clean and well appointed with a daily freshen up! We had the best time. So relaxing! A much calmer/quieter stretch of coastline (away from the busyness of Hiriketiya/ Weligama etc. Nice infinity pool to laze about in and plenty of sun loungers/cabanas for sunning, reading, drinking. Ocean, beach and waves were amazing, however, there are some serious rips/currents in the water so you may only be able to paddle around. No water sports. You can however do plenty of day trips (fishing), Udawalawa (to see the Elephants), to other beaches where you can surf/snorkel, cooking classes and Galle (old fort town - with hundreds of shops, cafe’s and restaurants. There is a good breakfast included in the cost of your room and a nice menu for lunch and evening meals. Plus there is a lovely family run restaurant across the street serving the best homemade currys and fish (caught by the family), plus a few others in walking distance. Staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough to help! We will be back!

Honesty probably the best beach resort we have ever stayed at. The place is small and intimate; literally right on the beach. Such a relaxing environment. The staff are very friendly and personable. The food at restaurant was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka… and very reasonable prices for the quality. The sunsets on the beach were amazing. It’s a quiet area, with not much to do but chill and relax! Spend 4 or 5 days here and you will forget all your worries in life! Highly highly recommend a stay here

The service is impeccable, from arrival, to drinks at the beach to breakfast. The property appears to be relatively new, the rooms are spacious and so are the bathrooms.

The perfect retreat to relax for a few days. The staff were helpful and the food was delicious. There’s also a great restaurant opposite the hotel.

The resort is nice and wonderful view of the pool, but the feel of it wasnt for us and tje wifi being terrible meantnww ciuldbt stsy are we needed to be able to do some onojne work. When we asked to check out 1 night early from our 3 night stay they said they would try to resell the room to refund it bacl it us but they never did. The resort being remotely managed means the onsite staff cantaoe aby decisions.

Lovely stay, lovely staff and great food. The hotel is away from the main Tangalle town, but we enjoyed that. rooms are roomy and nicely designed and furnished. Food was great and our overall experience was that we will be back!

Modern hotel with nice decor, the sea view room was more of a ‘partial sea view’ as the room was on the ground floor behind a big green hedge. Not worth the price I paid. The ocean is too rough to swim in but the pool is nice. The Srilankan breakfast is good but the lunch and dinner options could definitely be improved. Overall I think it’s overpriced for what it is.

Loved architecture, design, build, quality of build and products. Location on the beach is wonderful. Really beautiful. Manager and Receptionist speak great English and do wish to be helpful. Juices are really superb. Middle of nowhere down multiple dirt tracks, 30 minutes from Tangalle, food is in my opinion dreadful and I preferred not to eat and drink a juice. Heavily loaded with salt and cook has no idea how to cook basic western food. Multiple electricity issues with no aircon, WiFi or electricity in my room over days. I was DOWNGRADED from whst I had paid despite manager saying he would find same class room - he gave them all to new customers arriving that day. Room I was allocated was dirty with footprints, toothpaste splash all around top that sink sits on, sun lotion splash all over patio area. Couldn’t wait to leave

From the moment we came we felt so welcomed, the staff here like a small family. The rooms are amazing. The place is a bit isolated but don’t worry you have here everything, the food in the restaurant is absolutely wow. If you want a place to relax and enjoy a few days this is the perfect place, I am fully recommend.

Wow! Et fantastisk hotel. Virkelig sødt personale, som er flinke og rare. Generelt er der en rar stemning på hotellet, hvor man føler sig velkommen i det sekund, man træder ind. Fed beliggenhed lige ud til den uberørte strand. Vi kommer igen og kan ikke anbefale nok!

Lovely place, really off but relaxing and beautiful environment. Add fans in the restaurant to get rid of the mosquitoes at night and it’s five stars. Unfortunately many of the dishes on the menu wasn’t available. Make sure to visit the restaurant across the street.

Dernier pour notre périple au Sri Lanka. Pas de regret d’avoir choisit cette hôtel. Le personnel est au petit soin. La piscine et la plage rendent le lieu magique. Nous vous profiter avec la fille des massages dont je recommande vivement. Nous y avons très bien mangé, choix avec menu traditionnel ou plus occidental.

Wir waren 6 Nächte dort, haben dann aber auf 5 Nächte verkürzt. Essen war mega lecker, Personal außerordentlich freundlich. Zustand des Hotels ist gepflegt und wird auch in Stand gehalten. Die Lage ist sehr einsam. Es gibts nichts Drumherum. Außer sehr viele frei laufende Hunde. Man musste ständig aufpassen, um nicht von irgendeinem Hund angesprungen zu werden. Besonders schlimm war der Hotelhund. Das war auch ein Grund unserer früheren Abreise. Für zwei Nächte sehr empfehlenswert, mehr sollte man sich dann sehr gut überlegen,

La estancia en Lankavatara fue espectacular. El hotel se encuentra en medio de una playa virgen rodeada de naturaleza. El servicio de todo el stuff fue simplemente excepcional, son la esencia de este hotel. En especial nuestro camarero Malshan se encargó de que todo fuese perfecto. Nos hicieron una cena romántica en la playa sin coste extra, nos llevaban las bebidas a la hamaca, siempre con mucha servicialidad. Suelen tener este tipo de detalles. Las habitaciones muy modernas y bien equipadas. SIn duda el mejor hotel de todos los que estuvimos. Comida muy rica, todos los platos están adaptados a los gustos occidentales, a penas pican. El chef es todo un maestro. Sin duda un espacio para relajarte, disfrutar y dejarte llevar. Los precios de la carta y del spa eran moderados para el bolsillo europeo, Se puede ver el menu en su web.

Chambre panoramique au premier étage spacieuse, très agréable avec grand balcon vue mer. Il n'y a pas de TV mais le wifi est bon. Arrivée en fin d'après midi. L'hôtel n'est pas très facile à trouver (petite inscription sur le mur à gauche de la route). Je n'ai pas trouvé le personnel particulièrement chaleureux et nos échanges ont été limités au strict nécessaire. Séjour de deux nuits. Premier diner pris au restaurant en face et le deuxième au restaurant de l'hôtel. Malgré une pré-réservation à 17 heures 30 pas de possibilité d'avoir une langouste 350g. Les repas pris avec mon guide et mon chauffeur étaient bons mais chers, sauf les desserts qui étaient moyens. Mon chauffeur et mon guide ont estimé que leurs plats de noddles étaient bons mais pas assez copieux pour le prix.Le petit déjeuner traditionnel est correct mais j'ai été surpris par le plat très chaud qui est servi dans un grand bol à la fin (peut être du riz au lait ?). L'hôtel est très isolé, la plage est propre mais la mer est très dangereuse. Il n'est pas possible de se baigner dans la mer.
