“Great guesthouse!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2010
2
people found this review helpful

I recently came back to the guesthouse Easy Beach in Ahangama, on the Sri Lankan south coast for the second time this year. My previous was stay in February 2010. This is indeed a hidden gem - I recommend it to all.

The guesthouse has 7 double rooms, one twin room (to be made into a triple room) and two cabanas. The prices range from 17 euros a night for a single room off season to 35 euros a night (double occupancy in AC cabana during high season). Every room overviews the garden and the ocean (an ocean sunset in this garden is to die for....), and there are individual balconies for all rooms.

The staff are very friendly, and the Norwegian owners are lovely and accomodating people. There is a large garden, with sun beds and hammocks scattered around beneath the shadow of the palm trees. The place is right at the beach, and as soon as you walk outside the gate you are next to a protected lagoon inside the local reef.

There are a number of great surf breaks in the area close to Easy Beach, and the place seems to be very popular among surfers from all over the world. There is a Norwegian surf instructor living at the site. At the time I was staying there, there was a mixture of families with children, couples, singles and groups of friends. The atmosphere is relaxed!

A delicious breakfast is included in the Easy Beach room price, and the restaurant has a tempting menu, with a mixture of western and Sri Lankan food. Chef is local, and trained at the guesthouse over the past ten years - his curries are absolutely beautiful.

I have fallen in love with Sri Lanka, and I will definitely be coming back to Easy Beach in Ahangama!

“Great guesthouse”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 December 2009

Great guesthouse, simple, clean, friendly and great food. Stayed for 1 week with my girlfriend, after touring around the country. The resturant is very good with a wide selection of western and eastern dishes and also seems popular with guests staying in other hotels visiting to eat. There are plenty of breaks all a short tuk tuk ride away, The guys are always sitting outside the gate ready to go and most know the spots to take you too. Only downside to easy beach would be not much beach to lazy on and you are restricted by the amount of swimming or snorkelling you can do infront of the guest house by the local stilt fishermen who do not like you going into the water near there stilts as it might scare the fish.
Just a 5min walk from the guest house is the train station where you can get to Galle, only a 20min ride really recommend, Matara and Columbo.

Stayed here for 2 weeks in the surf season and it was more than 2 traveling surfers could ask for. The food was great ,the rooms neat and tidy, Oysten,the owner always willing to help out with advice and transport waiting at the door ready to wisk you off to your choice of surf spot. Great value for money.

“Hard to leave”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2007

people found this review helpful

Easy Beach was recommended to us and we loved it. I wished we'd gone there first so we could chill out a little. It's in a good position for visiting Galle and the more touristy beach areas. It's right on the seafront so there's always a welcome sea breeze. Oysten and his wife were really helpful but still gave us our space. The locals were friendly and visiting the local bank was like a skit from a comedy. We stayed longer than planned as it was so relaxing but there's so much to see and do in Sri Lanka.

“Brilliant guesthouse!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2007

people found this review helpful

I stayed at this little guest house for the third time this winter; I just keep coming back! This is a good value-for-money guesthouse, and cleaner than you'll find most places in Sri Lanka. The owners are friendly, and the chef is great!

The closeness to the beach & the surf is excellent. For those of us not surfing, you just walk out the gate and snorkle before breakfast. I love it :) Good for relaxing & as a basis for small excursions to the surrounding area. Within this price range, this is your best option on the south coast.

Brilliant if you need a few days out of Colombo. The trip down the coast is about 3-4 hours, dependig on traffic. The owners will set you up with a van and pick you up if required. If you ask them they can fix pretty much anything.

Recommended!
