"We stayed at paradise cove for a week in February 2019 and got married here. The villa it’s self and garden is beautiful and well maintained. the pool is surprisingly bigger than I expected. We visited the villa in 2018 to see if it fitted in with our needs as a wedding venue and the pool hadn’t been built yet, it is a beautiful place to sit and take in the surrounded views of the garden and beach. There is a large garden area which leads to the beach and there is also a patio area that is under...

Amara Villa
3.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (3)
"The property never got our reservation, so showed up and no one was there. This, however, didn't appear to be Amara's fault. Ana was very apologetic and tried to make the most of it. Property is nice though, but it's more suited for a full rent out than just a couple looking for a get away."

Beach House

"This house is virtually a step away from the sea and it feels like you have your very own small, private beach. A bit far from the town for bars and restaurants but a good small local restaurant two minutes walk away. Breakfast provided, by a woman that comes to the house and uses the kitchen. Great in one sense but if you really like your privacy note that she does hang around each day for about 3 hours doing cleaning etc.. Overall if you like privacy and seclusion right on the beach, this...

"We traveled as a group of 3, me and my boyfriend and my friend. My boyfriend and I loved the place because it has a very beautiful charm being and old building (we love old buildings), the bathroom was newly renovated and the bedroom looked presentable. The entire place felt historic and charming. Unfortunately, my friend was just not comfortable staying there that night and we ended up staying elsewhere even though we had paid for the night.

Self-contained villa with swimming pool and beautiful lagoon view, 50m to beach
6.8 out of 10, (5)
"From the house itself, the area, to the service- it was all rather underwhelming. The house is nice but much smaller than it appears- especially the pool. When we arrived there was no power (not their fault however the host knew already for a day and failed to mention this). The host and her property manager did not offer any help or solutions- we even had to ask for some candles as we were sitting in the pitch black for a while. Then the manager seemed aggressive and annoyed with us, which...

FIVE BEDROOM DELUXE VILLA WITH PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL
6.0 out of 10, (2)
"We came as a family of 9 people and found the villa to be unclean and not as described! There were no tv screens in the bedrooms, rooms were smelly and showers did not always work. We had to ask for the water to be pumped through! Air conditioning was sporadic in the bedrooms and the kitchen area was inadequately equipped, old stuff that was broken! The manager did replace the kettle and toaster and took away the dangerous looking microwave. There were not enough outside chairs for all of us or...

Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort
5.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (117)
"This is truly a lovely hotel, with a great pool and beach front. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and grounds are very well maintained. Entrance feels grand and welcome us very warm. Great kids club. Would definitely return if I had the opportunity. Only minus I experienced was the upselling (day trips, spa treatments) during breakfast. While this may work well with some of the clientele, I found this quite annoying."

The sound of the waves lulls you to sleep at night. The staff, Senal, Nethmi & Kasun were incredible, attending to our every needs and always with a smile. The breakfast is delicious and plentiful.
