Made a first time visit to this well known hotel and was pleasantly surprised with the friendly staff and good service. We chose the place as we had very little choice but enjoyed the food and the great view of the sea. Will certainly come back.

Good sized rooms and great view. Cleanliness of the hotel was a little down, but the rooms were clean inside. just the main areas were a little dirty and a few flies/mossies.

When we arrived to the room, it was shocking. The stairway to the rooms was dark and full of mosquito's. Rooms looks pretty old in overall and lack of maintenance.... More

Dear Guest, My sincere apologies for the shortcomings mentioned in your review on Trip Advisor.

However, we are extremely saddened that in this... More

We stayed at Tangalla Bay in January 2012 after spending the previous 10 days touring Sri Lanka. The hotel's setting and design is very striking, though it would not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems as there are many long stairways. We had booked for two nights but we left after one day, as there were a number of... More
