Fantastic relaxing stay
Pros:

Such a relaxed atmosphere. Attentive staff everywhere. The best beach I have been on! Help the fishermen bring the nets in for extra fun!

Cons:

Perhaps somewhere to sit near the beach to have a drink?

Perfect stay
Pros:

Gorgeous rooms!! Wonderful sea view. The bed was really comfy and they had insense sticks in the bathroom which was a reallt nice touch, although I did have to ask for matches.
Loads of sun beds by the pool and beach. They had free yoga In the morning 0830 till 0930 which was a nice touch. Breakfast was good and so was dinner.
Staff were really friendly and even put some birthday balloons and a banner in the room after I messaged them saying it was my partners birthday. This is a really lovely peaceful stay.

sehr empfehlenswert, ideal zum Entspannen.
Pros:

Das Hotel lag etwas abgelegen, was aber perfekt war runterzukommen. Der Strand ist direkt vor der Tür und wunderschön. Auch das Essen ist besonders gut, sehr zu empfehlen ist die Seafood platter.
Hotel ist für alle gut, für kleine Familien, für Paare, für Freunde, usw.

Cons:

Alles war sehr gut.
Was man nur wissen sollte, ist, dass das Meer extreme Strömungen hat und man nur hineingehen sollte, wenn man gut schwimmen kann, dafür kann aber das Hotel nicht und außerdem gibt es ein sehr gutes Pool.

Magnifique lieu, reposant très bon service
Pros:

Un havre de paix tropical, notre chambre était magnifique. L’accès direct à la plage.
Le repas du soir (curry) était délicieux.
Très bon hôtel dont je me souviendrai. Le personnel du restaurant adorable.

Cons:

Petit point négatif mais sans gravité, c’est qu’au dessus de notre lit il y a une grande fenêtre qu’on ne peux pas occulter donc beaucoup de lumière au réveil.

Wunderschönes Hotel in Tangalle
Pros:

Wir waren über Weihnachten im Lankavatara und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich, das Zimmer sehr sauber und gemütlich. Highlight sind der Pool und die direkte Lage am schönen Strand. Auch das Essen war sehr lecker. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort übernachten

Heel fijn!
Pros:

Super fijne plek. Na jaren terugkomen en weinig veranderd nog even sereen. Ditmaal zeer ruime fijne kamer. Eten is lekker, personeel super aardig. Zou deze plek zeker aanbevelen als je houd van zon zee strand en rust. Ik heb eigenlijk geen commentaar.

Cons:

Niks

INCREDIBLE
Pros:

Absolutely stunning property and beach. I was so happy I chose a quieter spot with empty sand beach as far as the eye can see. Every single aspect of the property and service surpassed my expectations. I would not return to Sri Lanka without staying here again.

Cons:

My only wish is that it was a non smoking property as the people in the room below me often smoked on their patio. It would not prevent me from returning though! Everything else was perfection.

Heerlijk, aanrader!
Pros:

Fantastische plek en kamers. Fenomenaal uitzicht op de zee. Ontbijt is heerlijk en de yoga lessen zijn een geweldige bonus. Restaurant is heel goed, maar tegenover het hotel ligt een leuk klein familierestaurant waar wij ook heerlijk gegeten hebben.
Komen zeker terug!
