Typical beach resort with beautiful sandy beach, restaurant and facilities. Perfect for a couple of days. The downtown of Tangalle is quite close, a couple of hundred rupees to get in with Tuk-tuk. They also provide scooter rental services.

Such a shame we couldn’t swim in the sea. Currents too dangerous.

Secluded spot away from the crowd. Atmospheric beach cabanas on windswept stretch of coast. A chance to see turtles in their own habitat

The only down side of this place was that you can't swim in the sea due to the strong undercurrent. However there are pools nearby if you really need to swim rather than paddle.

Our stay at Mangrove Beach Cabana's was really wonderful. The accommodation was great, comfortable and clean. We had a cabana with a trap door to a spacious bathroom with lovely shower. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the food was super tasty. We really enjoyed 4 days of peace and quiet on what was a pretty deserted stretch of beautiful coastline. We just wish we were still there! Highly recommended.

No fault of properties but just be aware- extremely hot in rooms at night as is a cabin with a fan- super humid. And need to be at one with nature!

Paradise- secluded beach with nothing going on other than sand, the sound of the ocean, food, drink and chill. A great little spot to unwind and do nothing. The fresh seafood for dinner was superb, and great fresh breakfast. Lovely helpful staff - and picturesque cabins. Go for sea front villa.

Great location and beautiful rooms! Quiet beach, perfect for relaxing! Next to the hotel there is a turtle point where they release some baby turtles. So amazing! Lovely sunset and stars.

Wonderful place! It is so quiet and the rooms are so clean. Also, the food is very delicious and the staff are so helpful and professional.

The bathroom which is in the basement of the cabana needs some upgrade. Sun beds need some cleaning. They charge 3 percent for paying with credit card. You can save money if booking closer to arrival.

It is definitely the location - amazing beach, only a hand full of people. One of the nicest places we have seen in Sri Lanka so far. The cabanas are nothing special but absolutely ok - we stayed for three nights and loved to hear the waves during the night. The restaurant offers a very good variety of fish including catch of the day - good value for money.

Nothing really, but it would be great if clients would be given information on the turtles upon check-in in order to know the do’s and dont’s regarding these precious creatures.

Amazing location first of all, at a magnificent, mostly empty beach. Turtles, some of them absolutely huge, come to lay their eggs right in front of the resort. Just mind blowing. However please make sure you don’t use your flashlight as the animals are very sensitive to light. The rangers at the nearby turtle reserve will gladly take you out to see them and give you a lot of background information at their base. In terms of the resort itself, it has super simple yet beautiful cabanas and a splendid restaurant. The premises are very well kept and super comfortable with hammocks in between palm trees ideal to chill. Certainly one of the best beachside venues we’ve ever been.

The cabanas are right on the beach with a wonderful view on the sea, very relaxing. Personal is very nice with great service level. The restaurant, on the beach, is high quality, for lunch, dinner and also with a wonderful breakfast. I definitely recommand to go there. It was hard to leave...a true paradise !

Overpriced, but the view is priceless, isn't it?!

The location on the shore and the view over the sea arf amazing! Villas are expensive but much more comfortable than cabanas (which are very good as well). The breakfast is so nice, right under the palmtrees. Peacefull and restfull guesthouse, perfect to enjoy. Employees and mangement are very comprehensive and helpful for any request.

Two grudges: 1.The bathroom is in the basement. I had overlooked that fact, not sure it was mentioned. The trap door to it is heavy to lift and the stairs very steep. 2. The ratio value for money is not good. This was the most expensive place we stayed, 3, 4, 5 times more expensive than others that offered better value for money. But if course, you pay for location, and you pay to avoid the crowds, to encourage places like the Cabanas that strive to stay away from ugly concrete that is ruining Sri lankan beaches.

The location is awesome, the beach is empty, the cabanas are cute. I liked the fact that they are open and have just blinds to stop the wind. . Cleaning is offered daily. The restaurant is excellent and the food is super tasty. I loved the sound of the waves and the song of the birds. The boys who work there are doing a great job. If you want a simple place to reconnect with nature, that is your place, it is a bliss! If you prefer comfort, are scared of spiders, lizzards, ants and prefer aircon and glamour to breeze and simplicity, go look somewhere else

I suppose the only negative point is that, there is not a huge amount of infrastructure in the area as Tangalle itself is a little far - so make sure you stock up a little before getting here.

Exceptional - I only spend a day here but have some great memories as this was one of the most magnificent beaches I've ever visited. With hardly anyone around, you'll have the whole beach to yourself for most of the time. During the evenings and night time, not a huge deal to do but sky lights up giving you a great view of the stars! Definitely one of the main highlights of my entire trip. It is a piece of paradise. Stunning location, beautiful cabanas and a very friendly staff team made this an unforgettable stay.

The basement bathrooms with the heavy trapdoor are not very practical, especially if you want to access them at night time.

Mangrove beach cabanas are located at huge und quiet Tangalle beach, which is a perfect beach seemingly right out of a commercial. In front of the cabin are just some palm trees, the beach, the ocean. Almost no people as it is the last accommodation before the turtle protection zone. . As you might know by now you cannot swim at Tangalle beach due to strong waves and dangerous undercurrent. That is the reason this big beautiful beach is nearly deserted. If you are fine with that the location is almost perfect. . The cabins are basic but fit well into the environment, food was quite good.

I wish it took less time for the water to become hot in the shower.

We had a very relaxing stay as everything about the place makes it easy to unwind and destress. We loved the location, right on the long stretch of a beautiful clean beach.cabanas were very comfortable and food amazing. Special thank you to all the staff, as everyone was very attentive to all of our requests and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.

Didn't love the underground bathroom!

The location is stunning.

WiFi didn't reach our room. We also had a "sloppy" check in. We were shown to the Beach Chalets not the Beach Cabanas so as we were enjoying our welcome drink after a long journey we were told we had to move to the Cabanas. This wasted an hour of our time. We were promised a double beach cabana as a gesture of goodwill but this didn't materialise either. We were too tired to fight it. Staff were apologetic though and these thing happen.

You're right on the beach and it's quiet compared to places closer to town. Food was delicious and staff friendly and hospitable.

We did not feel safe to swim due to the strong current. A swimming pool would have been nice. The offer of Sri Lankan food at the restaurant is a bit limited

Spacious, clean cabanas right in front a semi deserted beach. Very nice open air bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff

Great bungalow, clean and cosy. No ac, but its absolutely fine! We felt comfortable both daytime and nighttime. Absolutely gorgeous beach, i believe the best one on Sri-Lanka. Its our second stay atangrove and we will definitely be back again! Special thanks for the staff, guys, you’re the best!

There is a safe space to swim that is a few meters further, otherwise we were advised not to swim in the ocean as it could be dangerous

This is an amasing stay, right on a beautiful beach, with shadow from the coconut trees, and with a very nice resto near by

Exceptional service from staff, many thanks to Manik. If had a hotel, I would love to have someone exactly as Manik to be chief of staff!!! :) Also perfect location right on the beach and a great location right on the beach. Perfect for couples.

Too dangerous to swim, except behind the rocks in front of the beach chalets

Beach, friendly staff, end of the world feeling
