    The best location you can have! Perfect place to have peace and quite, walk on the beach explore nature. Very nice staff always available to help or make a nice pot of coffee. Very nice breakfast. Kayaks available to explore the Rekawa lagoon. Walking distance from Wildlife Turtle where you can have a magic experience walking at night on the beach to see turtles. Plenty of restaurants on walking distance. We recommend the Shell Point restaurant.

    No restaurant service, but there was one close by.

    I was there on the low season, having the beach right in front of my doorsteps all for me. :) Quiet, romantic place with lagoon and beach . The room is exactly what one needs to stay in front of the beach. No AC but a very good fan.

    Only minus is that it’s to dangerous to swim in the see.

    Fantastic location under palm trees, next to the lagune and the wide, sandy beach.

    The payment was horrible. Booking.com showed us that the Resort will take the money from my credit card and then the Resort said that only cash is possible. So we had to take a tuktuk to get cash from an ATM and go back to the Resort. This is time and money intense. The manager wasn't helpful. On phone he only said that I'm wrong. But everything else aas good.

    Thie view was awesome. The Resort is between the lagoon and the ocean. We saw warans, monkeys, squirrels, turtles and bats.

    This is literally a little paradise at a lonely beach! We really enjoyed staying there. The room was comfy and the staff very friendly! The only downside was that you weren’t able to swim in the sea due to very strong waves and currents.

    Perfect spot wish a wonderful location right in front of the beach and the lagune. Our room at the middle level in the main building had a great view and a cool breeze. There were kayaks (sit-on-top) to use in the lagune for free. At sunset you could see (a few hundred meters east) the tiny baby turtles being releasef from their nests and strugling to reach the sea. The staff were pleasent and very friendly.

    The bathroom is a bit dated, and there's no mesh behind the louvres, so you can get insects (and frogs!) coming into your room.

    This was my second visit here and it was as good as the last time. Excellent location and the perfect place to relax for a few days. There's kayaking and swimming if you want to be more active (though you need to take care with the strong waves) or you can relax in the hammock or on your balcony. There are a few restaurants walking distance away if you want to try something different. You're far from shops in Tangalle town though so bring enough cash.

    We loved the room and its terrace. It was opening straight to the beach. The location is rather remote and this is what makes it special. There were food options on the beach within the walking distance. Close to the turtle sanctuary.

    Not a single thing.

    Easily the best accommodation we have had on our one month long trip through the island. Incredibly friendly staff, amazing affordable local food optiones (that you can even pre-order so it's ready at a certain time) situated right by the ocean and next to a huge lagoon (that you can also swim in and explore with their kayaks for free). The rooms are clean, spacious and with a great view. After staying for 2 nights we came back for an additional 2 nights at the end of our trip since we like it so much. Especially at that price, there is probably no other resort nearby that can top this place in my opinion.

    A lovely quiet remote place to stay. So peaceful and relaxing. Excellent value for money. The accommodation is quite basic but fits with the setting. The staff were amazing and so helpful. Really appreciated the pots of tea that were brought to us on the terrace!

    The mattress was a little hard. It wasn’t much of a problem for two nights, but might be an issue for a longer stay. Also it might be that little frogs and geckos get into the room through little slits at the windows.

    The view from the balcony is just stunning on the ocean and the mangrove. Sitting on the balcony at evenings, hearing the ocean, is an absolutely lovely experience. The room is clean and the staff really friendly. The food served at the hotel varies and is always really good. The beach around the hotel is really amazing. Nearby, different cafes, restaurants and spas are available.

    Not possible to swim (rocks, currents), you have to go further. We could not use their kayaks because paddles were broken and they did not care to fix them. You have to use tuktuk on dusty road to get there.

    Really quiet place, beach view, spacious. Surrounded by nature. Outside of town, which is both - pro and con :-)
