Pros:

Le propriétaire est tres serviable, accueillant et au petit soin.
Lodge bien entretenu et propre. D'ici cet été un deuxième logement sera prêt.
Bon guide même si nous avons pas pu faire notre safari en moto. Il a agrémenté la balade près de la reserve par une visite des salins.
Très bon souper et petit-déjeuner Sri lankais variés et copieux.
Jardin bien entretenu avec vu sur la réserve ou dès notre arrivé nous avons pu observer 4 éléphants...trop chanceux!!

The outdoor shower and the cabana was beautifully designed. Very comfortable bed. Woke up to a stunning view of the ocea
Pros:

That the cabana was situated right at the beach. Overlooking the long clean wild beach with the incredible waves. Not far away there is a natural swimming pool thanks to the reef that break the waves and allow for a refreshing dip in the ocean.

Pros:

Tolle Hütchen direkt am Strand.
Das Mangrove Beach Cabana gehört zum Mangrove Beach Chalet. Die zwei Hotels liegen ein paar 100m auseiander am gleichen Strand.
Baden geht nur vor dem Beach Chalet. Machte aber den Kindern und uns viel Spass. Die Liegen beim Chalet sind super zum Entspannen und Baden...
Super Essen gibt es in Beiden Restaurants.
Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal.

Cabana on the beach
Pros:

Cabana right on Tangalle beach. Bathroom in a bunker where you had a trap door to open.Fan with sea breeze was great. Bed comfortable. Patio was great. Short walk to safe swimming area in the sea. Restaurants close by.

Emplacement de rêve pour les vacances... si vous n'êtes pas nageur ou tâtillon sur les prestations
Pros:

Location, location, location ! Nous avions réservé une cabane de plage "dans le jardin", parce qu'il ne restait plus de logements directement sur la plage, mais finalement, nous avons préféré cet emplacement un peu en retrait de la plage, quand nous avons découvert sur place le bruit lié au déferlement des grosses vagues. Je sais d'expérience que cela peut contrarier l'endormissement... Les maisonnettes éparpillées favorisent la tranquillité et l'intimité des clients, ce qui en fait un hôtel très chouette que nous avons beaucoup apprécié. L'accueil est correct et la literie est bonne. La salle de bain est spacieuse et sans pénurie d'eau chaude, et son ameublement, comme celui de la chambre, est assez rudimentaire, mais suffisant. Nous avons mangé au restaurant de l'hôtel et bu des lassis à la mangue, et c'était très bon. La plage, bordée de cocotiers et de pineapple trees (vacoas) est très jolie, et invite au farniente. Il doit être sympa d'y passer des journées sur un transat à lire ou à refaire le monde avec ses proches, entre 2 séances de surf... Cependant, la baignade semble impossible, en raison des rouleaux qui se succèdent impitoyablement. Nous nous sommes rendus au centre de préservation des tortues marines tout proche qui nous a donné rendez-vous sur la plage à la tombée de la nuit et nous avons eu le privilège d'assister, tout émus, à la ponte d'une tortue. Nous recommandons cet hébergement !

Cons:

Rien, mais on a un peu eu le sentiment que cet hôtel compte sur son emplacement incroyable pour se reposer sur ses lauriers, et maintenir un niveau de prestations "correct".

Perfect peaceful beach paradise
Pros:

Amazing location, amazing restaurant and amazing views outside! The cabana was very nice and clean but gave you a rustic feel, even though everything was actually perfectly polished. It gives the feeling of living in a bamboo shack on the beach but it also has resort amenities like a good restaurant, everything being super clean, etc. If you truly love the beach, stay here. You’ll be in heaven!

Cons:

Nothing! Some might be annoyed by having to open a trap door to access the bathroom, but I don’t think all the cabanas are like that so you can just request a different one with a shower above ground. I personally enjoyed showering under the stairs. I thought it was quirky and fun
