We had a lovely time at the resort and would definitley recommend it. To make your stay a 4-5 star experience it is definitley worth booking one of the newer beach cabanas as the other cabanas are quite dark and tired looking. Peaceful stay.

If paradise exists, it probably looks like Ganesh garden. The location is wonderful, right on a beautiful and solitary beach. The cabanas are surronded by palm trees which provide plenty of shade where to relax on one of the many hammocks during central hours. The restaurant is good, the staff is very nice and helpful. Rooms are clean, spacious and... More

We lived in one of the beach canbanas for a couple of days - it was was great, but expensive too. Friendly rooms with nice atmosphere – you are living next to the perfect beach (beach canbana). Perfect cabana arrangement and quiet beach-life! BUT: The prices are very high - especially in the located restaurant and bar. Very far from... More

Ganesh Garden Cabanas is situated several kilometres from the town of Tangalle. The bungalows are excellent. We had the bungalow closest to the beach, which was a great experience. The bungalow has a good bed with a mosquito net, bathroom with cold water. The accommodation is quite isolated, walking to town is not a very realistic option (quite hot) and... More

We only paid 4000 Rs a night ($30) for one of the stacking cabanas, so it seems like they'll quote all sorts of prices depending on vacancy (after reading other posts on here). There were a lot of bugs in our room. I mean, I get it, we're in the jungle. But, screens on the windows might've helped. The bug... More

The hotel is really pleasant, small cabanas and rooms on the beach. The staff is nice and smiling. The restaurant is good. The beach is incredible, with hammacs and beds all along. The only drawback being you cannot go swimming as it is dangerous. Very good place to rest and spend hours inder a palmtree.

We came for 2 days and stayed 5. The beach is almost deserted. There's only a few places that are safe to swim but the sound of the dumping waves is amazing. This small resort is paradise. great service, lovely beach, with hammocks just on the edge of the beach, many in the shade. I spent more than a few... More

My wife and I spend 6 nights at Ganesh Gardens. We visited many other hotel grounds and restaurants along the beach and these visits impressed upon us how Ganesh was doing things, such as food, service, and grounds upkeep, better than the others in the area. The staff were not only friendly, but went well out of their way to... More

We had been looking forward to come to Ganesh Gardens given this was going to be our longest stay in a part of Sri Lanka. To this regards we had decided it was fine to spend a little bit more and lavish ourselves in a nice place. Lonely planet states that this place "sucks in backpackers like a night out... More
