Pros:

De locatie was geweldig. Fantastisch strand, zeer rustig, huisje met uitzicht op zee. Het personeel was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
We hadden in eerste instantie een huisje met uitzicht op de tuin, dit was zonder problemen en voor een gering bedrag om te boeken naar een huisje met zeezicht.
Je kon er in het restaurant lekker eten en het was ook geen probleem om te eten en drinken bij het huisje.
We hebben echt genoten van deze dagen!

Cons:

Echt niks

Idyllic quiet unspoilt small beach resort
Pros:

We really loved Mangrove Cabana in Tangalle and had a wonderful stay. The beach front bungalow we stayed in was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The breakfast was also very nice.
If you walk to the right side of the cabana, you’ll find a small and beautiful natural lagoon (Part of sister hotel Mangrove Chalets) where you can swim. We definitely recommend visiting it. There is also a tiny fish restaurant called Sha Sha nearby that sells fresh fish caught the same day. The way they cook the fish is excellent and the service was great.
We really enjoyed Tangalle and would stay here again. We especially recommend trying that small fish restaurant as well.

Pros:

Ein absoluter Traum am Meer. Füße im Sand, Strandspaziergänge und super Essen. Kilometerlanger Strand, sauber, hohe Wellen. Die beste Unterkunft, die wir bisher hier in Sri Lanka hatten. Absolut empfehlenswert.

The best few days of relaxation in the most stunning location
Pros:

The most amazing location away from any crowds, it really felt like paradise. We were so pleased we chose to stay here, especially after exploring other areas of Tangalle that we had looked at booking at as it was much calmer with more of a wild and untouched look. It’s the best place for totally switching off and not doing much. Just a short walk down the beach, you can go to watch baby turtles hatch in the evening and watch the adults come in to lay eggs in a much less commercial tourist setting than other spots (from what we were told). The cabanas were comfortable and positioned right on the beach, you only need to step out of the front door to start the day. We felt the pictures online didn’t do this place justice, it really was perfect!

Cons:

Nothing that we didn’t like at all. Only things to note for other people is there is a heavy trap door you have to lift to get down to the bathroom in a basement style setup, which might not be suitable for anyone with any mobility/stability issues. Also to note, the sea on this beach is generally not good/safe to swim at, which might be a problem for some, but not us. There are plenty other options nearby for that and the view and location more than make up for it.

Une vue à couper le souffle
Pros:

Emplacement exceptionnel : le bruit des vagues pour s’endormir c’est incroyable.
La plage était presque déserte, on a vu une tortue nager depuis le sable.
Pour un séjour au calme et coupé du monde c’est parfait !

Cons:

Beaucoup de choix à la carte mais qualité inégale

Paradies im Süden Sri Lankas
Pros:

Wir waren bereits vor 11 Jahren hier und es ist noch immer ein traumhaftes Paradies, es hat sich fast nichts verändert. Die Lage direkt am Meer ist atemberaubend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, das gesamte Team ist sehr gastfreundlich. Das Frühstück und Abendessen sehr lecker, der Fisch des Tages ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Traumhaftes authentisches Bungalow am Strand für einzigartige Momente
Pros:

Wir hatten eine Beach Villa mit direktem Zugang zum Strand und diese Hütten sind ein absoluter Traum. Eigener Strand, eigenes Meer und ein Bad unter Sternenhimmel. Wir sind schon viel gereist, aber diese Unterkunft ist definitiv eines unserer Top 3 Highlights of All Time.

Déconnexion et zenitude
Pros:

L'emplacement exceptionnel, le calme, le personnel très sympathique et aux petits soins, la cuisine vraiment excellente.
La faune aux alentours.
Nous en sommes partis à regret.

Cons:

Dans les cabanes, la salle d'eau en souplex peut ne pas convenir à certaines personnes.
La baignade dangereuse, sauf à un endroit bien précis protégé par le récif.
L'hôtel pourrait proposer un petit catalogue d'activités par prestataire
