Reviews of Little Tamarind

Famtastic place, the staff was great, breakfast amazing!

Nothing

Great service from the staff and good food from the in house restaurant:) location is also great for beach and relaxing

It had wifi but lots of connectivity issues

Nestled in the greenery with the breathtaking views, this is place you want to enjoy for more than one day. It's situated little bit uphill, but really short walk from/to the beaches. There are two rather different beaches, so you have a choice of very natural and rather long Silent Beach that is great for walks and fun in the waves, or closer Unakuruwa Beach, which is more sheltered and thus better suited for swimming. We enjoyed very much the yoga deck for our morning practice. Although there were no classes at the time of our visit, we were perfectly fine by ourselves. Also, there is a huge, well managed garden as a part of property, so your privacy is guaranteed. Breakfast were plentiful and very tasty. There is a possibility to preorder also dinner, which actually is a good idea if it gets really warm, as there is always a nice breeze up there. We had 2 very spacious rooms, both very comfortable and balcony views were simply great. The whole place is very green, taken care of and calm. If you want to slow down a bit and enjoy the nature, this is a right place.

We stayed there for 4 nights, and it was not enough :)

Lovely views, friendly staff, great access to the nearby beaches. Lovely big room with balcony.

Expensive for what you get. Feels a bit tired, needs a bit of TLC.

Excellent food, views, beautiful room, extremely helpful attentive hosts

Up a very steep hill, that we didn’t stay longer!

The Little Tamarind is a wonderful place to stay. Gorgeous views, outstanding breakfast and facilities, and walking distance to Sri Lanka’s most beautiful beaches. Each morning two Grey Hornbills came to visit us. Very accommodating, friendly and attentive staff.

Nothing, we enjoyed our stay very much.

A fantastic location in a sleepy seaside village. Two mins walk to the beach. I was the only guest but Eli, Sunny and the team really made me feel very welcome, and accommodated changes in my booking. The breakfast that was included was excellent. It's an ideal place for a short visit to unwind.

This hotel was the best we´ve been to while visiting Sri Lanka. The room was gorgeous with stunning view. About 5 minutes walk from the Silent beach. Staff was very kind and helpful.

Staff, property, views, location

Property based on a huge hill with steps. Be mindful when booking with elderly/young children. The little house is outdated and is situated about 2 minutes from the main hotel, be aware if booking as a group.

Great location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast

The owner booked us in knowingly on a day when a religious ceremony was being broadcast from 2 loud speakers in a house directly below. They should not have taken bookings as it went on all evening and night to 5am without interruptions. No sleep was had at all. Not worth the price. Check before you book.

Clean and spacious room with a spectacular view over the garden to the sea. Close to 2 different beaches, silent beach and unakuruwa beach, the latter you can use for swimming.

Some minor features felt a bit dated like the door lock

Quick 1 night stay in one of the Villas / Cabanas. Confortable. Quiet. Simple. Really close to the Silent beach. Great views from the restaurant

It’s a beautiful place in the nature and just 5’ walk to the amazing silent beach. Ruth and the rest of the team were so so nice! The room is so big and comfortable, colonial style with a big bed and cozy mosquito net, you can spend hours in the terrace with views of the sea and the noises of the jungle, at night you can see the stars from the bed, it’s so beautiful! The dinner and the breakfast were delicious!! The even allow us to stay a little bit longer and do the check out later :-) You can relax in the main common areas within the hotel, certainly we recommend this charming place to stay in one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. We totally recommend to stay here!!

Everything was perfect!!

Ruthy was a very warm and generous host, she really looked after us and made us feel very welcome here ! The junior suite had incredible views of the ocean!

Nothing comes to mind!

We stayed in the family suite - large, very comfortable, with outstanding 180 views from the balcony. There are two exceptional beaches within five minutes walk. Silent Beach to the left was pristine, few people and wonderful if slightly choppy swimming. Fisherman's Beach in the other direction was easier swimming, most people were there for the surfing. Lovely relaxed vibe. Both had great friendly places to eat and drink. One of us was celebrating a big birthday and we were treated to breakfast on the balcony with flowers from the garden and a cake for tea which all the team came out to share. Very special. To add that the hotel is set in large gardens in the heart of a friendly village (we were greeted by everyone), with a number of recommended home cooking restaurants. Enjoy! An amazing place.

Quiet Sound of the waves Silent Beach is a must! Just 5 min of walk

+ team is amazing, extremely helpful and nice + location is great + room was spacious, terrace huge and the view astonishing

- natural airing and cooling (no ac, sliding layered windows, sliding doors, airing holes in the doors and between window panes) results in drafts, bed is placed exactly on the route of such a draft, hence it was constantly drafting. Got a cold due to this - concrete floors/tiles are not pleasant for bare feet due to draft - no hairdryer and no comfortable bathroom lighting (mirror)

This is a peaceful calm hotel with wonderful staff. The facilities are limited but because it is trying to connect you to your location, not fancy silly things. Ruth, Sunny and the staff are very kind and attentive. It’s was a lovely stay. Very relaxed.

I needed better connection for WiFi. But I understand this is not the ethos of this hotel. Consider this if you need to be online often.

Everything was great, the room, the view, the surroundings but first of all the people working there, thanks a lot!

nothing

Exceptionally well planned renovation that captures the cooling wind, frames the natural views and provides a beautifully comfortable living space. Appreciate that single-use plastic is not used and energy is not wasted on AC.

Sets the bar for smart eco-design

Amazing breakfast, lovely staff.

No WiFi in the room, and total oversight from our end when booking there is no AC in the room. Sri Lanka is way too hot at the time of year we visited to not have AC in the room.

Perfect stay. We booked the room with the big terrace and it was such an experience. We saw monkeys and squirrels running around in the garden. A true contact-with-nature experience. Best hotel of our Sri Lanka trip.

Everything was great.

Breakfast Views from the room Location Comfortable bed Dinner menu The manager + stuff are hard working peoples

The volunteer lady from USA needs to get out of this place. ( I was there 3 nights I never see her doing anything to help out beside eat, smoke her vape, and only checking in to up-sales few activities , she even forgot to tells us there was a dinner menu WTF lady
