Spacious, clean, quiet. Direct access to the beach.
Pros:

This was one of the best places in Sri Lanka. Spacious, clean, quiet. Direct access to the beach. Pictures really are like the real thing.

Cons:

This was the most expensive stay by far in Sri Lanka. Is it worth it? You have to decide for that. For us it was worth it!

Gute LAge, schwacher Service
Pros:

Zentrale Lage am Strand und in der Nähe der Restaurants! Fußläufig zum Supermarkt und Wochenmarkt! Sehr ruhig da kein Verkehr in der Straße. Wenige Zimmer welche gut ausgestattet sind. Alles neu und daher alles sauber. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut, man bestellt was man möchte und es wird gebracht. Schöner Pool, Zugang zum Strand.

Cons:

Service dem Preis nicht entsprechend! Zimmerreinigung und Entleerung der Abfalleimer musste jedes Mal aufs Neue verlangt werden! Selbständig ist gar nicht!

This resort and stay is the perfect getaway. The staff are even better!
Pros:

This place feels like home on Paradise beach as your front yard. There is no other accomodation like it in terms of comfort the beach and the pool is pristine ! Sunrise reflect directed into your back yard .

The staff are all welcoming and brilliant. We could not have asked for more . Janedran is the sweetest man , always on the look out to ensure comfort. Dinesh is the Chef, there is nothing that this young man cannot cook. Amazing food here! Rooms are very clean and accommodating. We extended our stay , could not leave.

Cons:

Nothing !

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay at OLA Tangalle
Pros:

Had a really nice stay at OLA Tangalle. The place is calm and perfect if you want to relax away from busy areas. The room was clean and comfortable, and the whole property has a nice laid-back vibe. The host was very friendly and easy to talk to, and helped us with a few local tips as well. The beach is very close and great for a quiet walk in the morning. Overall it felt like a simple, peaceful place to stay in Tangalle. Would definitely visit again.

A perfect seaside escape that was peaceful, beautiful, and truly unforgettable.
Pros:

Waking up to the sound of the ocean and stepping straight onto the beach was pure bliss. The views were stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset, and the pool overlooking the sea was a perfect spot to unwind. The rooms felt fresh, modern, and comfortable, making it easy to relax and slow down. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the stay even more special. Overall, it was a peaceful escape that truly captured the beauty of Tangalle.

Cons:

Honestly, nothing at all. Everything about this place felt perfect for me, from the location to the overall atmosphere. It was a stay I truly enjoyed without any complaints.
