It started when I phoned from the bus station and he said he would send his tuk tuk to pick me up. Even when I took the room, he had me pay for the ride. Since I did not want to spend time looking (mistake) I took the cabana by the "pool"-green scum covered it. Room was dirty, shower broke... More

The place is really beautiful and we had (me, my husband and 7-year old son) two great weeks there. The owner and all the personnel (his family) are very firendly and they do their best to help you and to solve all your problems. The choice of food in the restaurante is not very big but everything is fresh and... More

We stayed in one of the beach cabanas - and it was a really relaxing 4 night stay...just what we needed. The beach cabanas and basic in furnishings but very comfortable. You have to get used to sand everywhere, a small price to pay for a truly amazing location - just metres from the surf! With a little private patio... More

Een echte aanrader voor in Tangalle! This is a great place in Tangalle. They have different Cabanas, just a the beach. But also larger upstairs rooms, perfect for 3 persons or a family. Rooms are really clean, they give you towels.... They also have restaurant with great food, local and international, and the waitress (sister of the owner) is really... More

Perfect, new, clean cabanas right at the beach. I get a nice small palmleave hut for 1000 Rs. The best place to spend some days relaxing en enjoying the fish curry.

We stayed at Sandys for just one night. The place is nice enough but a few little things would make such a difference.For $4-4500 rp per night you expect above average. No towel racks in the Bathroom, no toilet roll holder, no bath mats etc. No big deal but would've been nice. The linen was terrible, holes and all. And... More

Our stay at Sandy Cabanas was very nice. Every night a couple of drinks with Chaminda. Walks along the beach, sunbathing, enjoying the beautiful cabana and very tasty food. It was a very good place to take a rest after travelling through Sri Lanka for a while. I just want to say: Thank you.
