The staff are very nice and friendly, especially the European girl Angela i think her name was. However, breakfast was very ordinary nothing wow as we saw in other hotels. Wifi was promised to be installed in rooms but wasn't. Room amenities were lacking, hair dryer wasn't working. They have only king-sized bed, so this is good for couples, since... More

Recently stayed @ the Frangipani as well as had our wedding there. Overall, the manager, the 2 other expat team members and owner were friendly and helpful as much as they could be. We had done a site visit 3 months prior. However, planning could have been done better along with overall management of the wedding and events that took... More

For our first trip to Sri Lanka, we searched for accommodation that was either designed by or inspired by local architect Geoffrey Bawa. We found The Frangipani Tree through various websites and decided to book 5Nights directly with the resort, staying in a beach front Villa. The Frangipani Tree is a fantastic resort; - our booking and airport arrival transfer... More

We stayed at the Frangipani Tree for 2 nights. Our room was beautiful, very big with a simple decor. The property is right by the beach and the sunsets are gorgeous. The staff and manager were also extremely kind and helpful. Their are only a few rooms so the atmosphere is very intimate which we loved. This place gets booked... More

We had a bit of a problem with our hotel bookings in Galle and the Manager at the Frangipani Tree, Pubudu Udara, was so very kind in offering us rooms at very short notice and then he assisted us in securing rooms elsewhere the next morning, he couldn't have been more helpful to us. In fact everyone at Frangipani was... More

We arrived and after a quick check in accompanied by fruit drink were shwon to our villa, Leatherback. The villa overlooked the sea, had a large outside settee plus table and chairs to eat. Inside was a large double bed, chair etc. A small fridge was in one corner good for keeping the large amounts of bottled water they provided... More

I totally disagree with MJPearce's negative comments about the Frangipani Tree. We stayed for 5 nights at the beginning of March and were hugely impressed by the establishment (particularly the staff). Service was incredible, the rooms are clean and perfectly adequate and the food was exceptional. If you are looking for a hotel with all of the 'mod cons' of... More

A 2 star establishment in a 4 star disguise. Really 2nd rate. Is it being run down deliberately? Beware loud wedding parties at venue next door going on until midnight. And it's really expensive....why?? If you are short you'd be in difficulty as there are really annoying high level bolts on the doors rather than straightforward locks and doors that... More

We were staying in a villa nearby, but called in for an early dinner one evening to escape a huge thunderstorm. Considerate staff immediately fetched fluffy towels for us to dry ourselves off. We were immediately struck by the serenity of this hotel. Dinner menu choices were fairly limited but our meals were excellent (lamb tagine especially), My husband fancied... More

We stayed there for a wedding and it was the best wedding I have ever attended. The location, the surroundings and the architecture is amazing. I could not imagine you can build with concrete with so much style. The staff was extremely helpful and made everything work. The sea at the beach is too rough for swimming but the pool... More
