This hotel was simply the best stay ever! From the moment we arrived, everything was beyond amazing. The hotel is brand new, spotlessly clean, and beautifully designed, with modern, stylish rooms and pristine bathrooms. We had a room right next to the pool (yes, there are actually two pools!), making it feel like a private paradise. One of the biggest highlights was the breakfast – hands down the best on Earth. Every single day, we were treated to a different, incredibly delicious, and rich selection of food, showcasing a mix of local and international flavors. We couldn’t get enough! The owners are absolutely wonderful. The host is super friendly, and his wife is the sweetest person ever. She even made us healthy cocktails and packed a homemade lunch for our long journey, which was such a thoughtful touch. Their kindness made the experience even more special. The location is peaceful and stunning, tucked away in a quiet, lush area. However, it’s very easy to reach the beautiful beaches of Tangalle with a quick tuk-tuk ride or by renting a scooter (which we did, and it was so much fun exploring the area!). Even though we skipped the touristy turtle-watching tours, we were lucky enough to see a baby turtle hatching and making its way to the sea while on a walk – such a magical moment! The bed was super comfy, the AC worked perfectly, and we loved relaxing on the private terrace attached to our room. Every single detail was carefully thought out to create an unforgettable experience. If you’re looking for an amazing stay with warm hospitality, the most incredible food, and a perfect location, look no further. I 100% recommend this place and would come back in a heartbeat!

You feel you are close to nature. Lodge feels new and fresh. Bathroom is nice, a European standard, so not common. But most of all owner and manager give each tourist attention and are open to help. We had a great dinner at the lodge, so it’s worth trying, owner is a man of many talents. Last but not least pool is well maintained and water felt great like silk. Beach is close by, waves were crashing hard but if you swim further it’s calm.

I had a wonderful stay at Pearl Cave Cabanas. The room on the second floor is very spacious and there are a lot of places you can put down your things. The bathroom was also exceptional. I absolutely loved the balcony with the hammock where you can spend hours just watching the birds in the lagoon. Sureka was lovely and always offered me recommendations on things to do in the area. She also gave me a lift to the main road at the end of my stay. I also really enjoyed the food which you can get at fair prices. There are also a lot of other great restaurants easily reached by foot. I can only recommend this place.

I have been to many places and cities in Sri Lanka. and I can confidently say that this is one of the best hotels. here you feel at home. when you swim in the pool, beautiful peacocks walk around. then you can feed them. real unity with nature. Delicious homemade breakfast is served here. There is a beach nearby, I liked to walk there on foot. you can also go to the city by tuk tuk if you need to go to the store. it's a great place and great people. I want to go back there again! ❤️

I had a wonderful one-night stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely beautiful – so calm, relaxing, and perfect for a peaceful getaway 🥰. The rooms were fresh, clean, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Breakfast was amazing, fresh, and full of variety. In the evening, we enjoyed a delightful BBQ with a bonfire 🔥😊, which created such a warm and cozy atmosphere . Overall, it was definitely worth the price, and truly memorable. I would love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for relaxation and great hospitality.

From the moment we entered, it felt like we had stepped into a dream. The hotel was a perfect mix of elegance and comfort. The room was a serene haven, decorated with thoughtful details that made us feel at home. The staff were beyond friendly and knew exactly when to offer help without being overbearing. We were only steps away from the beach, and the sound of the waves crashing at night was the perfect lullaby. The food was deliciuos especially the Sri Lankan dishes."Iddiappa & Pittu". We met amazing friend (Puppy🐶 )calls "Rubby" always with us at all. Property manager treat with us Traditional Milk with Kithul honey & drop us safety for our next destination from his car.Every details was perfect- a true escape from reality!!..

    Great location. Not too far from the city centre and only like 2 mins walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean. The A/C works very well and good shower pressure as well. The host was very helpful. Gave me informations about the bus and waited with me till the bus arrived.

    A lovely, helpful family host this new homestay. Great location only 2 mins walk to the wonderful Mawella beach. Our room was large and well equipped with air-conditioning, fan and mosquito net. There is a small private patio area outside the room and a larger shared terrace with a comfy sofa. Wonderful breakfasts made freshly each morning. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Highly recommended. Thank you so much for making us feel at home.
