Angela the Manageress was very helpful at all times, suggesting alternative local restaurants and other activities for us to enjoy. Saying that the food is unbelievable at Frangipani the curry's are out of... More

We spent 9 days here. Very helpful staff, especially the manager Angela, nothing was too much trouble for them. The food in the restaurant was excellent and they even managed to cater for a larger gathering of friends at short notice. The accommodation is a little basic, but very clean and comfortable. The pool and beach are stunning and we... More

We have just returned from spending 2 weeks at this great boutique hotel. After having read a few mixed reviews over the last few months, we were a bit unsure if we were going to get the relaxing, great quality experience that Red Dot Tours had assured us we would have. We can honestly say that for us,this was a... More

Recent property, 10 rooms only, so a quiet place.. Local staff is nice and good advise. Rooms are modern, we got the leatherback ones with superb bathrom open roof. the garden is lovely, the pool is cool though a bit small. Good free wifi. Dinner is good but expensive better go to Vijaya beach restaurant or at Unawatuna area with... More

The frangipani tree is located just past Unawatuna beach, about 15 mins or 4 dollars by tuk tuk from galle. It was built after the tsunami in 2004, yet the designers have used big open public spaces and high roofs to give a colonial flavor. They've done a good job. You enter through a discreet wooden door and into a... More

Well - where to start. This is going to be a bit of a mixed review as myself and my boyfriend have just completed an 8 day stay at Frangipani Tree and there were things we loved, and others we didn't. Let's start with the positives first: - The general aesthetics and vistas of the property are fabulous - it... More

We spent 6 days at the Frangipani Tree and its sister hotel in Galle, the Fort Printers. My husband and I were thrilled with the service, the food and the design concepts of both properties. The Frangipani Tree has a wonderful outlook over the ocean, a lovely pool, shady trees and a relaxed vibe. The staff were amazing - gentle... More

From the moment we booked this hotel in September, 2011 for a stay in March, 2012 via a booking agent, our problems started. We knew this was a busy time due to the cricket in Galle and only booked flights once we had a confirmed booking and the money had been taken. In all innocence we contacted the hotel to... More

First impression accommodation was very good but no fridge /mini bar. We stayed for 6 days & the breakfast was the same each day. (boring)!! the same two pieces of fruit x 4 &. tasteless overcooked bacon. Evening menu is good but wine prices extortionate at 50 usd a bottle. However locally there are no other options unless you travel... More
