Hotels in Tangalle

We stayed at Turtle Bay from January 2nd for 3 nights and 4 days, and it was truly superb! From the moment we arrived, the warm and attentive service made us feel right at home. The peaceful beachfront location with stunning ocean views created the perfect setting for relaxation. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and we enjoyed every meal — delicious food with great variety. The tranquil atmosphere...

Absolutely one of the best hotel experiences in Sri Lanka. The location by the beach is stunning, with a spotless main pool, a children’s pool, and a playground shaded by palm trees. The sunsets are breathtaking. Service is excellent — the staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring, making you feel truly looked after. The food is delicious throughout the day, from breakfast to dinner, and...

Stayed in this hotel recently and all I can say is Wow! Such friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for you. Thank you so much

The stay was simply lovely! The view, the food, beautiful rooms and most of all the people were great. Thanks for the hospitality!

Fantastic place to stay, staff are very friendly and the meals are superb. Rooms are very nice and clean, we even saw turtles. We would stay again when visiting Sri Lanka. Breakfast was included and the chef made delicious meals to choose from. Well done for this excellent place

The hotel is really beautiful with a lot of attention to detail. Everybody was super friendly and helpful, rooms were really clean and spacious. The place is ideal for a romantic hideaway for a couple for 2 or 3 nights. If you are travelling alone, the place is very quiet and maybe a bit lonely. The whole area there is very quiet, only a handful of other hotels around. For the next town you need a...

Great hotel with clean, modern rooms and very friendly staff. The location was perfect — close to everything but still quiet. Breakfast was fresh and had a good variety. I felt very welcome and well taken care of. Would definitely stay here again!

Bitter disappointment despite good potential We were really impressed with the location, and it comes with 3 dogs (which is always s plus!). Sadly, a few things marred the experience. Hot water is rather non existent. You get warm water after running the shower for a long time, which is a terrible waste. The dogs are left out at night and they can bark extensively and no one seems to care. The...

I had an amazing Time and a wonderful stay at the Kirinuga Retreat. The staff was very kind and totally helpful if you had questions you always could ask and they helped immediately and with pleasure. I had the biggest room and it was comfy the patio is the highlight at all. You also can take surf lessons with the best surf teacher in Tangalle. He is very friendly and flexible and he tells you all...

Very very buttyfull hotel. Car parking no.

When we needed to get away from large crowds and get relaxed, this became the ideal hideaway. Large rooms, 7ft pool and private beach, room attached mini pool.(please get it cleared if you go in an off season and using it). Owner michella and her family were very supportive and friendly. Recommend for someone who need to get yourself relaxed!

Most friendly owners, beautiful garden at the lagoon, nice view to ocean from the balcony, delicious food!

Just love the place. Nice people, clean fine room, close to the sea, affordable price... Everything you are looking for. 👍👍👍👍👍

Large clean and comfortable room. Very good food. Great location a few yards from the beach. Very quiet.

Good place to crash in Tangalle! Really close to the beach. Breakfast isn't amazing though, so I would recommend to going elsewhere for food.

Hotel is located close to the beach. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms very clean and spacious.

Beautiful garden just 10 meters from the beach. Very nice, friendly and helpful family. Good food. Quiet and peaceful place with nice, clean rooms.

We had a nice stay! Clean swimming pool, close to the beach, friendly staff, nice A/C room, nice shower with hot water. Some minor downsides: moldy smell in the mini fridge, toilet seat a bit dirty, no trash bin anywhere, a lot of mosquitoes. We parked our rented tuktuk in front of the entrance and during the night the glove box compartment was forced open. Luckily we did not store anything inside...

Totally recommended! We stayed here for 4 nights and had an amazing experience. The location is really nice, only a few minutes from the beach but they also have a pool. The staff and manager provided an excellent service, making sure everything is fine. They even provide laundry service. Breakfast was also very good.

Overall the stay was good. Rooms, toilets, pool and communal areas were clean and tidy. Room was of a good size. Breakfast was amazing. Great Sri Lankan spread and it was delicious. Staff were always on hand to assist and help as much as possible. They even agreed to a much later check out for our group to allow us to enjoy our stay abit longer. On the negative side, I would say the hotel is in...

Nice Hotel. Customer friendly service.

This place was really nice and the service, communication should be appreciated. you can discuss anything with the staff. Rooms were good, bathrooms were spacious. Location is very close to the beach. 2-3 min walking distance from the hotel.

Spent a day... good experience... Small pool is there and around 150m to beach... Need to improve infrastructures more Seems lack of maintaining...

An excellent little guest house with a gentle path running down to a lovely beach. There are several beach bars who will lend their surfboards for free and the surf is great. Our room had a large balcony from where we could watch the local wildlife. Excellent food and service. Highly recommended

What a place. The staff is so friendly and serviceminded. Location is perfect, 2 min walk to a beutifull beach. The pool area is great, green and cozy area. 5 min with a tuk tuk and your in Tangalle centrum, we're you find good food and very good ice cream :)

A small boutique hotel with a lovely well maintained garden and a pool. The rooms were large and comfortable with AC and four poster beds and opens into a lovely terrace overlooking the garden. The beach is a 2min walk away and a provides a lovely view of the sunrise. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great value for money.

We had a wonderful stay at Gems Guest House in Tangalle. It’s a very quiet and peaceful place — perfect for relaxing. Our room was really cozy and comfortable, and we felt at home right away. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always happy to help with anything. A special bonus: there’s amazing espresso-style coffee just around the corner, which made our mornings even better. Highly...

We had a lovely stay at Gems Garden Guest House Tangalle. The room was clean, cozy, and nicely decorated, making it a very comfortable place to relax. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming, always attentive and happy to help, which made us feel at home right away. The breakfast was typical Sri Lankan style and very tasty – a great way to start the day. One of the highlights is the perfect...

Stopped here for tea juices and later for lunch. Truly awesome Sri Lankan hospitality. We had the full experience with the rice - white and red rice with fish curry, lentils, beans, salad, devilled potatoes, pol sambal poppadoms ! It was awesome. The juices were fresh n good and service was by our long time butler Shantha. you can’t go wrong here !

We stopped by to have lunch on our way to Yala. While we have not had resthouse food for a number of years, we thought we would give it a try. The General Manager was very polite and spoke good english and warmly greeted us. The serving staff working there have been there for over 40 years. They wait for visitor us to take care. We ordered simple rice and curry with Fish. To our surprise we...

Marvelous place to stay near safe sea.best place to see many varieties of coral reef fish .very friendly staff.delicious food ,specialy Pitza made with cinnamon wood.many nearby places to visit .one of them is 2-3hrs boat ride in Kalamatiya bird sanctuary .hope to visit again innear future .

very close to the sea, very clean and very friendly staff. I had to shorten my and the staff were very understanding and gave me a refund for the nights I did not stay.

This is our second trip to Tangalle Rest House since it’s been refurbished and its well worth the price. The rooms are clean and have a view of the beach across the road. There is great wood fired pizza downstairs and the traditional Sri Lankan breakfast package is wholesome (red rice, string hoppers; freshly baked bread, pol sambol, fish curry, dhal and ‘kiri hodi’ with fresh juice, tea/coffee). We...

We stayed in a beachfront Cabana, which was perfect to completely unwind after a few weeks exploring central Sri Lanka. The cabana itself is pretty basic with just a few shelves, a good sized, comfy bed, fan and mosquito net. As well as a trap door leading to functional underground bathroom. But what it lacks in amenities it makes up for in location. A truly deserted beach, with a view of the sea...

I actually don’t know where to begin as I have so many praises for this place - but let’s begin with the bungalows. Perfect bungalows for 2 adults and 2 children (10 years) - size, design, beds, patio, everything was extremely nice. Set between coconut trees on a huge piece of land right by an endless beach - spectacular. Doesn’t get better than that. The restaurant and not a least the staff is on...

Great location, friendly and helpful staff The washroom did not allow for privacy without a curtain / door to the shower room No tea / coffee facilities in the room The room, especially the washroom requires refurbishment

perfect place on the beach - quiet, end of the road, and the cabanas are only 10 meters away from the surf. Cleverly built (with bathroom in the basement), good mosquito net around the bed, super relaxed and helfpul staff. Biggest plus was te great setting of the cabanas between the palm trees, and the sea view. only beware: the beach right outside the cabana is too dangerous even for experienced swimmers...

We stayed for a couple of nights and unfortunately couldn’t get a family chalet but instead got 2 double bungalows really close to the beach front. 🙂: the team is absolutely friendly, and helpful, and wants to see you smile. food is nice. You are literally a few steps from the sea. 😞: the bungalows we had were really old with only the bare minimum (or even less). One room didn’t have a shower curtain...

We stayed in a Beach Villa which I would really recommend for size, and the outdoor bathroom was really nice. You also get a nice bed outside the front of the villa which is great to relax on during the day, especially when you want a bit of shade! The beach is beautiful and quiet but sadly you can't swim in the sea as it's a bit rough. The hotel staff did tell us a place where we could swim, but it...
