The hotel is nicely located near a large and secluded beach which is something rare nowadays. The staff was nice and caring and organised a baby cot with mosquito net for our son. This is however about the only positive thing I would say about the hotel. The room hadn't been cleaned properly and did not offer value for money.... More

We had a very pleasant evening at Manahara - a good meal and the hotel has an excellent location on the beach. We were annoyed by the fact that we were leaving early in the morning. The manager did not have change and promised he would give it to us in the morning before we left, however he was not... More

Cute cabanas at the most perfect beach, with a nice swimming pool . Very friendly staff! Food is very good and a good price! Tuctuc from the hotel, at a good price also. The cabanas can use a little update. The beach is perfect with no people around! There are no crocodiles in the sea as said in a previous... More

I would like everyone to know that the Manager of this hotel is a really nice man. I booked on Agoda and when we arrived we unfortunately did not have rooms, a problem between agoda and the manager, that said, i was pretty pissed off at the time, we had driven a long way, it was late at night and...

We had three nights here and found ourselves mixed in our responses to it. The location is wonderful, being on a quiet beach surrounded by the local fishermen. It is about 20 minutes out of town by tuk-tuk, of which there are many in the area. Tangalle itself is not a touristy town and certainly does not offer any reasonable... More

Very good quiet place with little bit small and dark cabanas, but who is in room during stay on beach? We stayed with baby, so we appreciated small pool (not perfectly clean). Food is really a bit overpriced, but reasonable. For 40 USD p/double + 4USD breakfast good choice.

We stayed 6 nights early January 2013, half board, (youngish) couple. It's a perfect stay if you want peace and quiet. Privacy of your own cabana, a nice pool and a garden that morphs into the beach, which you basically have to yourself. Need more? What about decent food, extremely friendly staff, and a very helpfull owner? We would highly... More

Do not stay here... we didn't book the hotel, our guide brought us here for one night. I will admit the beach is great, but the greatness ends there. The rooms were musty and gross. My husband had to kill several cockroaches...beds are dirty. The AC in our room did not work, and the fan was so loud it kept... More

We stayed here on a package tour. The cabins/cabanas were very cute and small. The roof hung a bit low so there wasn't great airflow when sitting on the porch but the view is great. It felt like being in a shaded forest next to the beach. The cabanas were spaced very far apart and very private. The AC was... More

Hotel is located 8km from Tangalle, so if you need/want to get there you need to take a bajaj (might be expensive but the prices depend on your haggling abilities ;)) or bus (veeery cheap). Great garden just on the ocean beach - it seems to be a part of paradise. The rooms are basic but clean. The staff are... More
