Notre séjour passé dans ce gîte à Tangalle a été notre plus beau moment passé au Sri Lanka.
Pros:

L’environnement autour du logement était magnifique. Notre gîte était très confortable et propre; nous avons pu nous y reposer en toute tranquillité. La piscine était superbe, les enfants ont beaucoup aimé y jouer. Le soir, nous avons également pu profiter d’une agréable balade en kayak sur le lac qui borde le logement. De plus, la mer est toute proche. Nos hôtes ont été fantastiques: tout le monde était toujours au petits soins pour nous, et les petits déjeuners ont été les meilleurs que nous avons pu déguster au Sri Lanka. Nous recommandons vivement ce logement.

Cons:

Notre séjour a été formidable; nous n’avons aucun point négatif à rajouter.

A little piece of paradise with the most wonderful staff
Pros:

A little place in paradise. Unfortunately we stayed only 2 nights. We stayed in the off season so had the place almost completely to ourselves. Beautiful well maintained and large rooms with very comfortable beds ( with mosquito nets) and a good shower. There were a few ants around in the bedrooms but I think that’s to be expected considering it is in the middle of an amazing jungle like garden next to the lagoon. Loved to explore the lagoon with the free kayaks and swim in the absolutely amazing pool.
Amazing breakfast prepared by the most friendly young ladies. Although it was off season we loved having coffee next to the amazing beach where you could play in the waves and swim at the more sheltered beach further in town. Several restaurants were open and really recommend Mango Shade a few minutes walk from the accommodation.
We were all really sad to leave and I hope to return for a longer stay next time. Overall this was our favourite place during our 3 weeks holiday in Sri Lanka.

Cons:

Nothing

Very relaxing!
Pros:

Location to the wonderful beach and nearby beach bars

Cons:

Shower / hot water set up - no instructions so took me a bit to work out there was one tap & shower head with purely hot water, another tap and shower head for cold water, that I then had to align to get a warm shower!

A great find in Tangalle away from the road to make the resort very quiet.
Would definitely stay again when in the area.

Pros:

Die wunderschöne Anlage liegt versteckt direkt an der Lagune. Zum strand sind es zu Fuß nur 2 Minuten.
Es ist sehr ruhig, das Personal und der Eigentümer sind unfassbar freundliche und hilfsbereite Menschen.
Wir kamen an und haben uns auf Anhieb so wohl gefühlt, dass wir direkt eine Nacht verlängert haben.
Grandioses Frühstück!
Die Klimaanlage war leise.

A wonderful stay in the Hidden Garden of Tangalle
Pros:

We had wonderful stay at Hidden Garden Tangalle. Our room was on second floor with a balcony where we could sit in the shade and enjoy the view of the beautiful garden full of palm trees and flowers. It was magnificent. The room was very well planned with large bed with mosquito net, a fridge, table chairs, a large bench with water cooker and plenty of room to keep organized. The room also had a ceiling fan and AC. The bathroom was also very nice. Everything was very clean and had a fresh scent of flowers.

The garden have several small houses and nice pool. We got a very nice breakfast that was served in the 'admin' house. The breakfast was included in the price. It was a combination of western / Sri Lankan and very good.

At your stay you can borrow a canoe to paddle in the lagoon or you can join a class yoga.

The location of the hotel is 150 m from the beach. A small path leads you there. Along the beach there is a small street with lots of restaurants of different kind. This is avery nice part of Tangalle. I can highly recommend a stay at Hidden Garden

Cons:

We had no complaints
