Hotels near Rekawa Lagoon, Tangalle

Coming off a 16 day trip that included stays at a 5 star hotel in London, both Aman properties in Sri Lanka. and Soneva Fushi in the Maldives. We have stayed previously at a similar price point in South Africa, the Netherlands, the Caribbean, and Canada. Everything considered, Amanwella rates, for us, as the best that we have stayed anywhere in the world. The important caveat is that you must have your expectations set properly — this is a mature hotel set in a tropical location. Expect heat, insects, spiders, and lizards. Some may even make their way into your room. A quick phone call to housekeeping will solve any such issue immediately, in our experience anyway. Accept this, and the hotel is likely to rate as the destination of a lifetime. For us, the staff are easily the greatest asset of the hotel, starting with the general manager of the resort, Sonam. Every day he checked in on us, usually at breakfast, but sometimes more often than that. He was easy to speak to and we felt he was genuine in every respect. We missed a connection in Dubai and arrived late in the evening (11pm); regardless, he was present at our arrival along with a full contingent of staff for welcoming! Janith, our Guest Assistant, while only 26, rated as leagues above anything else we experienced on this trip or anywhere else. He is, without doubt, a rising star for Aman. Every need was anticipated and every request acted on in a timely fashion. Janith has continued to message us on WhatsApp since our departure, checking in on the rest of trip, and we feel that we made a real friend in Sri Lanka. Dinusha, who we met at the main restaurant, well, his smile is simply contagious, and he came across as down to earth, friendly, and eager to do whatever is necessary to make our stay memorable. His memory for our preferences is impeccable, which is something we did not find elsewhere as often as we would have liked. Ruwon, often a driver for us, treated us with consideration and spoke candidly while behaving professionally at all times. Again, we feel that we made another friend here during this trip! The resort is beautiful, well maintained, and while we spent more time on activities than on the beach, I assure you this is a beach resort first and foremost and that the beach is world class. The vibe is laid back but there is no element of luxury missing. Of everything we did, the lagoon experience was our favourite activity. Highly recommended. Make time also for a private dinner at the beach club. You will not regret it. I see that that past reviewers have expressed concern about the cost of food. The solution for us was to book the Fort & Beach package which included half board, experiences, and transfer between resorts. Perfection, Amanwella. Book it and enjoy!

The beach at the hotel is too wavy to swim and can only bask in the sun. But not far away, there is another public beach more than 100 meters, where you can swim. There are many choices for buffet breakfast and dinner, and the taste is good. Of course, there are occasional mistakes, such as grilled too raw beef shoulder. There are very few things for children to entertain. There is a game room where you can draw, watch TV, play games, etc., but the maintenance is not very good. The service is generally good, ushered in. However, there are more ingredients for the show, and some details need attention. Overall, the price / performance ratio is average, and it should be done.

My lovely wife and I spent two nights at this guesthouse when visiting Tangalla. It's modern, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Great value too at 4,500 rupees per night including a filling & delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. While it isn't right on the beach, it takes just a few minutes to hit the sand... though to be honest you're better off jumping in a tuk tuk and taking a short ride direct to either Silent Beach or Kapuhenwala as these are perhaps the finest beaches in the area. We particularly loved the former which is absolutely stunning and was totally deserted when we visited. A few of the reviews on booking.com through which we made our reservation are a little rude about the guy who runs the guesthouse. Personally I found Rohan to be nothing but kind-hearted and charming. Not at all pushy or over-bearing as some suggest. His only concern is that you are happy and having a good time which surely is a good thing. Dinner is available in the roof top restaurant. We ate there one evening as a distinct lack of other tourists meant that all the beachfront restaurants were forlorn and empty when we were in town. The food is very good. We had grilled fish and grilled prawns with rice & salad. Not the cheapest at 1200 rupees each but really good quality. Let Rohan know what you want in the morning and he'll go to the market & buy it. So you know it will be fresh... which is more than can be said for some of the aforementioned beachfront establishments. Beer and wine are available. In summary, if you are looking for a great place to stay in Tangalla at a great price then look no further than BV Residence. It's one of the best - if not the best - place we have stayed in our first three weeks in Sri Lanka.

Quiet in the noisy, very suitable for relaxing! The quality of service is also very good, praise!

Everyone longed to return to The Last House. Easter Sunday tragic events, whose cause can never be fathomed, left a devastating scar on Sri Lanka. Precious time at The Last House made us reset ourselves, and regain the confidence that the spirit of Lanka can never be felled. Ananda and his team excelled in spite of all the challenges they had faced in running the business subsequent to the tragic events. Hats off to the management that they had kept up the innovation on all fronts, cuisine especially with excellent local curries and seafood. The magic of Mawella Bay is that when you go from this beach you take with you the peace that you have found there.
