Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AI can recommend this small hotel very much: excellent food, nice beach view, very friendly people, lots to do and lots to see...
Gayan, the owner , is a pearl. he advised us in every point of interest, where to go, what to do , and there is so much too see !
His brother Ravi is an excellent cook. We had the best sea food ever: fishly caught fish, clams, mussles, lobster,
The hotel is situated on an very lonely beach to which from time to time even turtles came to lay their eggs... Very romantic !!
Tangalle , the nearest town , is only about 10 minutes drive with a tuk - tuk away and the fascinating national parks of Yala and Udawalawe are close by. You can see there lots of elephants, leopards, and mayn other wild animals.
A place to return and feel welcome again...
We will return for sure...
Location
Directly on the lonely beach, only a few other bungalow hotel around...
Friendly and helpful staff. What more can I say ?? All speak English, so communication is no problem...

delicious food, not only curries but also Western food...
Everything clean and tidy....
Sport & Entertainment
no pool, but the big pool (sea) right 5 meters staight ahead... so why need a pool ??
Gayan called us out when there was a spotting of a egg laying turtle on the beach - environtalist check that the turtles will not be distured while tourists and locals are around....
Room
nice and tidy rooms with a verandah, and hot water all day. Mosquito nets...
Tips and recommendations
go there , embrace Sri Lanka, that is a place to return !!
Monsoon is said to be a bit in December and a bit in June/July. Howeveer then it is only raining for one or two hours in the afternoon....
Mayn lagoons close by, can kayak there. Mayn birds to see, also warans (not harmful)
