We arrived in Tangalle from the North and Ella (we got a private taxi through a hotel for £35, we could have easily shared with another couple, but there wasn't a lot of time for the hotel to sort that when we booked), and the sun was shining, we were absolutely overjoyed to be spending a week here.

We were supposed to stay only one week but guess what we stayed more because it really feels like home. Like everywhere in Sri LAnka the staff is really nice but here there is something more. The rooms are big and confortable hot water and fridge. The balconies are nice and sea view. The restaurant is both srilankan and european... More

Depending on what you want this place may be for you. We preferred the places more like guest houses/ B+B but this one was much more like a hotel. We got an upstairs room but payed a lot less than what they initially asked so definitely negotiate your price. The room was lovely and clean and having a bar fridge... More

Oh how we were sad to leave frangipani! We stayed there for 6 nights, more than we planned to, just because we enjoyed it so much. Located right on the beach (the water are not very calm at this area, but if its too much you can take a tuk tuk for 100 RS to a calmer beach). great room... More

We arrived hot and tired from an early morning safari in Udawalawe, and were given a choice of rooms on the ground or first floor. We chose a first floor room, as it had a nice big balcony and sea view, and as there is no air conditioning hoped there would be more of a breeze up there. There wasn't!!... More

We stayed there for two nights in the room with balcony on the 1st floor. The beach is just a few steps away. The hotel served very fresh prawns which just came out from the sea. And all the staff working there can speak better English than other guesthouses. But all the rooms with balconies are without air-conditioning, some smaller... More

I feel a tad guilty writing this review as the Frangipani Beach Villas is a great hotel, with a laid back vibe, very friendly staff , good food and a reasonable room rate. If it was located at Mirissa I would give it an Excellent rating. Unfortunately a hotel's location is intergral to having an enjoyable stay and my girlfriend... More

Great location on a lovely quiet beach. Great restaurant with awesome fresh seafood and great chilled atmosphere, friendly owner and staff. We stayed in two rooms, due to overbooking we were kindly upgraded to the standalone cabana (great room with nice bed, nice bathroom/shower and great AC) and moved to the non Ac fan villa the next day, which was...

The guys here did seem fairly nice and welcoming but my issues with the place were twofold - first of all, it's location isn't great. It's quite close to town with the result that the beach is a bit industrial here with boats, fishermen etc. As a result, there's nowhere to hang out on the beach here, no deck chairs... More

Beautiful location on a quiet beach. Run by nice guys who cook great food - Suranga cooks a mean spicy dhal, potato curry and mullet. His chilli omelettes also have a good kick to them. Stay here & chill out for a few days on the beach or in a hammock.
