The room and bathroom were spacious, well designed and impeccably clean -- we really appreciated the attention to details and the additional functionality offered by the daybed, the small desk, the armchairs as we were travelling with our tween and also had to do some work while on vacation. The pool was lovely - it is a good size and none of us had red eyes from chlorination. The beach the property opens onto is gloriously clean and we had it entirely to ourselves most of the time. The cafe served up delicious food but their menu offers only a few Sri Lankan dishes. At our request, the kitchen was only too happy to whip up Sri Lankan meals -- prawn and fish curries, traditional coconut sambol, dhals, gotukala salad, okra salad, ridge gourd in coconut milk, star bean stir fry, eggplant gojju, Sri Lankan pancakes with ice cream, watalapam .... these were by far the best meals we enjoyed during the entirety of our holiday and we would heartily recommend visitors to Lankavatara sample the Sri Lankan meals. The staff are very well informed and helpful and did everything they could to make our stay a memorable one -- from organising tuktuks, catamaran rides in the Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary and turtle watching or airport transfers.

Best place in Sri Lanka! I'm usually too lazy to write reviews, but this one is truly worth it. We found ourselves in the middle of a jungle. Everything was meticulously maintained and clean. At the end of the trail was our room. The pool was beautiful, and the decor was tastefully done. The private beach is just a stone's throw away. I don't know what else to say. The staff was incredibly kind, and we're leaving with regret for not having stayed more nights. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay in Finch Tangalle. One of the nicest places we stayed in our Sri Lanka trip! Shenu does everything at the property, he was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed some great chats with him one evening 🙂 - he offered us a delicious welcome drink and a smoothie each day we were there ❤️ The hotel is located just off the roadside so is nice and quiet. The birds you hear here are wonderful. The room itself was huge, it even had a separate living room! Ours also had kitchen facilities should you require them. The pool area was very well maintained and peaceful, a lovely spot for a dip to escape the heat. A really great hotel for the price point, thanks for an excellent stay.

This was a wonderful place to stay, the hosts were brilliant and the home cooked food was fantastic. There's 3 villas in total all spaced out from eachother so you get plenty of privacy. It's very clean with modern decor, good facilities, comfy bed and the grounds are so peaceful and beautiful, it's such a brilliant place to stay - highly recommend! The beach is also close by (10 min walk) with a few good bars and restaurants that have sunbeds free to use if you eat or drink there. Tangalle town centre is only a short tuk tuk journey away for 800 LKR.

Stay of a lifetime! This place was nothing short of spectacular, with its breath-taking beauty, pristine gardens, and immaculate cleanliness. The relaxing pool area was just the icing on the cake. What truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. Alexandra, in particular, went above and beyond - her kindness shone when she arranged for our freshly caught fish to be cooked for dinner. It's these thoughtful gestures that set this place apart. I highly recommend the personalised Ayurvedic treatment; it was professional and incredibly rejuvenating. A resounding 10/10!
