We stayed here at the last minute, so had no choice in our room allocation as we took the only remaining rooms. We were welcomed by a charming manager and her colleague, then shown to our rooms. The first room was in the Olive Ridley block and although it was huge and tastefully designed (minimalist to the point of being... More

We spent 5 lovely nights at the Frangipani Tree in early December. We enjoyed our stay very much. We had the room above the library/TV area, which was huge and had great views out to sea as well as to the pool. The decor is minimal, modern and stylish, so if you're looking for something more traditional then this place... More

We spent a most enjoyable six nights here as a family of four from 1-7 January 2012 (we highly recommend Leatherback suite). Lovely long pool, fabulous beachside location with its glorious sunrises and sunsets, great food and great service with large, air-conditioned rooms which were cleaned / prepared twice a day. Small feedback point for the management - please reduce... More

We stayed in this small hotel right on the sea front in December 2011. The potential is certainly there for this to be a superb destination, but it really lacks the attention to detail you would expect for the price. The pool and setting is lovely (the road can be noisy early in the mornings), and the location is great... More

We chose to pay considerably more to stay at the Frangipani Tree than alternative suggestions from our agent but felt that we got little extra for our money. There was some confusion over our reservation and we spent the first night in one of the Olive Ridley rooms on the ground floor without a sea view. These rooms are awful,... More

After traveling around Sri Lanka we were very happy to settle down here for a beach holiday. It is more like staying in a friend's relaxed holiday house than a fancy hotel and we loved it for that. I was also very happy we did not stay in Galle - one morning there as a visit was enough for us.... More

I guess it depends on how picky your are.... we loved the location and feel of this small (10 rooms) hotel. It's right on the beach, with a stunning infinity pool. Not a great swimming beach (take a tuk-tuk to these), but great sunsets watching the turtles, and the birds, and the stilt fishermen right outside the hotel. Kids of... More

Tis hotel was fantastic. There were a few little issues with costs, but nothi to reduce the overall rating of e hotel. We had an upper room, which had an excellent view over the beach and pool. The room and bathroom were both huge, and clean. There is some rust in places, which is to be expected in the tropics... More

I loved staying at this boutique hotel on the beach. Everything about it is elegant. The furniture, the flooring, the beds, bedlinen and quality of pillows. I had the large room above the library/tv area - of which I believe there are 2 on this floor whereas there are 8 garden rooms which are very stylish with outside bathrooms. The... More
