Don't just book one night.
Pros:

I stayed here for a solid month. I lovd being able to hear the sea every night, really regulated my aniexty and heartbeat, fresh ocean breeze and a nice terrace to sit on. The people who worked here were friendly. I was gifted a picture at the end and have since been messaged to see how my journey has been. I do miss the Alpha monkey, I have recommended it to a few friends planning to come to Sri Lanka. Tangalle is a lovely place, you can visit rock temple and enjoy the city. Waking up to the sunrise and the sound of waves from your bed is a paradise you can't fathom until you've done it. Was incredibly difficult for me to finally pack my bag and leave. The price for a room, with a private bathroom, strong water pressure, a huge swimming pool, beautiful gardens, resturant on the beach and only a 30/40 minute walk to town down a beautiful coastal road..... I don't understand why more people don't stay here longer. If it were up to me, i wouldn't have left.

Cons:

i couldn't really afford the resturant or food here. a pot of coffee was 800 and that set me back daily, no freebies like coffee or water, water priced at 300 a bottle so i had to walk to the shop to save the money. This is very much a me problem. I am incredibly poor! If you can afford it, it's not a problem at all. the bed can get a little damp on rainy days, stick the fan on full while you're out and about and it's not too much of a problem. I changed my room to the one with a private pool it was nice to have a pool overlooking the salt water pool, but it does get gross quickly so didn't make as much use of it as i'd have liked to. Wifi not available in your room, but the resturant has good wifi and you can enjoy a pot of coffee and overlook the ocean while working.

Super séjour à Alpha Monkey hôtel
Pros:

Super endroit où le propriétaire nous a bien accueilli. Sur place vous découvrirez une vue incroyable sur l’océan avec le sable qui touche votre chambre.
La nourriture est egalement très bonne 😁

La piscine est également super car les vagues sont généralement trop violentes pour se baigner dans l’océan

Cons:

Le domaine est à 20-25 min à pied du centre mais pas mal de restaurant se trouve autour. Hors saison c’est très calme.

Une localisation exceptionnelle
Pros:

Le responsable de l’établissement et sa sœur sont d’une hospitalité louable ! La cabane en front de mer est spacieuse et donne sur une plage magnifique. La vue est le vrai point fort de cet hébergement.
Le lit est confortable et les draps et linges de toilettes sont d’une propreté impeccable.

Cons:

S’il faut trouver des choses à améliorer : la poignée de porte de la chambre et la chasse d’eau des toilettes sont rongées par les embruns et mériteraient un petit coup de décapant ou de ponçage. De l’eau minérale aurait été appréciée. Un savon classique était à disposition. Une petite dose de shampoing aurait été également la bienvenue.
Pas de wifi.

Perfect stay if you love to be right next to beach for some days close to nature and ocean breeze.
Pros:

We had a wonderful and relaxing calm stay at Alpha Monkey hotel. The cabanas were located right at the beach, which was extraordinary. We stayed there in off-season, so the beach was nearly empty besides some cute hermit crabs. Another big plus was the sea-water pool surrounded by Plants and palms sometimes visited by monkeys. So they definitely earned the name.

Cons:

Only thing which we have to mentioned is, that the bathroom is very basic and a could need some renovation.

Peaceful stay right on the beach in an entire cabana!
Pros:

One of my favorite places in Sri Lanka! We were upgraded to a cabana right on the beach which was everything you could want for a relaxing stay. The cabana is not air conditioned but there’s a mosquito net over the bed, good air flow, and a fan so it was very comfortable! There’s also a massive pool that they fill during high season and the hosts are friendly :)

Unangolo paradiso sulla terra
Pros:

Tutto meraviglioso, sono rimasta 5 giorni perché era davvero troppo bello, direttamente sulla spiaggia, con casetta privata, era luglio ed ero completamente da sola in tutta la spiaggia, era pieno di varani, paguri e tartarughe, sinceramente è stato un paradiso, il proprietario e sua moglie estremamente gentili, hanno un parente che guida il tuck tuck che vi può portare in centro a comprare frutta per fare colazione ma nel caso non ne abbiate voglia la moglie cucina benissimo, tutto eccezionale!! Ce anche una grande piscina, Lo consiglio !! Il proprietario l’ultimo giorno mi ha anche fatto un regalino😭❤️ miglior pernottamento di sempre

Eén met de natuur, heerlijke keuken, vriendelijke eigenaar!
Pros:

Wat een paradijs! We verbleven in een supercoole open kamer met zicht op zee. Je bent hier volop onderdeel van de natuur en hoort de zee ruisen. De eigenaar is enorm vriendelijk en dacht goed mee met onze wensen. We kregen elke dag een cocktail van het huis. In de omgeving zijn genoeg plekjes om te eten, maar we hebben elke dag bij de Alpha Monkey gegeten want de kaart is uitgebreid, het eten heerlijk en de locatie perfect. Het strand bij deze locatie is breed en rustig, her en der liggen wat rotsen in zee maar er zijn ook hele fijne plekken om te zwemmen. De Ayurveda-massage die we hebben geboekt was geweldig. Ook een aanrader: kayakken in de lagune tegen zonsondergang. De Alpha Monkey komt absoluut op ons lijstje van favoriete plekken aan de kust!

Pros:

Unser Aufenthalt mit der Familie war wunderbar. Die paar Häuser liegen an einem sehr paradiesischen Strand, der sich allerdings nur bedingt zum baden eignet, da es teilweise Felsen im Wasser hat. Die Gastgeberfamilie ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit und sie sorgen sich sehr um den Ort und die gesamte Anlage. Das srilankesische Essen schmeckt sehr gut. Die einfache aber sehr funktionale Einrichtung vom Haus hat uns besonders gefallen.
Ein sehr guter Ort um zur Ruhe zu kommen.

Pros:

Perfect accommodation for those who want to be in contact with nature. No front wall with a direct view of the beach and ocean. Visits by squirrels and other animals possible 😁. Friendly, kind owner. A saltwater pool with a diving board and a deep center, ideal for children's enjoyment, perfectly complements the beach, which is beautiful, but not safe for swimming. It is about a 10-minute walk to the bathing place at the breakwater. The friendly staff still maintain a nice environment in the area. A great choice for us, the nicest accommodation in SL.

Cons:

Social background simple.
