Reviews of Manthally Cabanas

Very cool accommodation - feels like you're in the middle of the jungle! Lots of nature around. Breakfast was super delicious and staff (and dog) were very friendly!

From start to finish I can’t explain how exceptional this place/experience is , the staff are amazing teaching the children all the plants, the pool was lovely, the rooms felt like being in the jungle, the children loved it, so clean, very relaxing, the breakfast was exquisite! I would 100% recommend this place to everyone and we will be back! The owner couldn’t do enough to help us! And full of information, thank you so much, he was always smiling!

Okay, there’s nothing negative about this property!

The location was fantastic and Chami and his team were amazing hosts and the breakfast was incredible. We had an excellent stay.

A wonderful oasis that feels private. A short 20 minute walk to th beach Manthally has everything you need, a private bathroom and room that are both large. Air conditioning, mosquito trap and the most wonderful breakfast with a traditional Sri Lanka breakfast that was different then anything else we tried after spending 11 days in Sri Lanka. The owner speaks great English, assisted with an issue we had with our driver and had the most wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

Simply Incredible place. All members of staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a tour of the gardens and shown the local plants, as well as being pointed out some local birds and monkeys when they appeared. The manager made everything easy, arranging trips and tuktuks as needed. We had the Sri Lankan breakfast and it was an absolute feast with something different on each of the four mornings we stayed. The room and gardens are beautiful and being on the edge of the jungle provided a very peaceful stay.

The Cabanas where so cosy and our girls loved the natural pool and all the small animals in the jungle. The staff and the owners where really helpfull and nice people.

We loved everthing!

We had a great stay. The stuff and the owner were super helpful, talkative and we have learned quite a lot. We also had a private tour and trying spices from the garden. Breakfast was incredible and super healthy. The bed was very comfortable and the room/house was super pretty. Everything was perfect and beyond, thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Fantastic place to stay! Stunning location, delicious food, friendly staff. Couldn't recomend this place highly enough!

Breakfast

Bed bugs in bed, cobwebs, unhygienic towels, red ants everywhere, unhelpful staff. There is not even a kettle. We need to depend on everything from staff who are not available all time

Best breakfast we had during our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka! Lovely Cabanas & super kind owner and team :) Also the dog Roxy is so cute! Walking to the beach takes a while but with a TukTuk it’s only 5 min and costs 1.00-1.50 Euro 😊 Would definitely come back 😊

The most exceptional parts of the stay were breakfasts! Kindly made by the keeper of Cabanas - Loco, who explain everything about ingredients and cooked vegan options. All members of the stuff did everything to provide comfortable and pleasant stay. Location is really good - trees, beautiful birds, but there is a one nuance, if you do not like insects like mosquitoes and others use spray or aroma stick to avoid a meeting with them. In general cabanas was really comfortable accommodation even for a long stay. Highly recommended for nature lovers and people who like explore new locations.

The staff couldn't do enough to help, organising tuk tuk, providing timetables and ideas for onward travel, explaining all about the flora and fauna. The breakfasts were amazing. Great stay.

It was eco friendly , nice and quiet place to spend the time if you wanna relax..staff was very kind and friendly as well..can't forget the excellent breakfast as well

The staff imediately made us feel at home. they took a keen interest in our well being and gave us many tips for the area. Loku was an amazing host and desreves a special mention. His cooking skils were exemplerary.

A kettle in the room would have been a bonus

Everything, the staff, the nature, the cabanas, everything was perfect. A place to find peace and serenity.

Nothing!

The property is in a really nice location about 15 minutes walk to the beach. You can watch monkeys in the tree outside or swim in the pool. Kolitha (Loku) was the best host, always pointing out birds or lizards, explaining all the food and traditions and when I didn’t feel well he made me Ayurvedic medicine. Thank you!

Nothing it’s great!

Boys running the place were friendly and very informative of the local flora and fauna, best breakfast ever, absolutely delicious Sri Lankan breakfast, probably spoilt as our holiday had only began. Can only highly recommend this place.

The staff was fantastic!!!!!!, really enjoyed learning about all the amazing plants in the garden. The pool was beautiful and location serine and perfect. Loved waking up to the jungle sounds. Our room was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Can highly recommend.

We recommend everyone who loves nature to stay in this place. Super friendly host who can help with everything, amazing breakfast, closeness to nature. It's really advantage that the houses have an open veranda (with ventilator so no mosquitoes) where you can spend time in the evening.

Nothing

It was the best experience in Sri-Lanka for us😌 really good, clean and authentic place in the jungle, but still pretty close to the beaches and main street. Good thing, because it's so quiet there 🙏 We enjoyed tasty breakfasts and smoothies☺ The staff is really nice and helpful when we needed, but not annoying like in another places we stayed here❤ I recommend that place!

Everything was nice! Only insects were annoying, but it's jungle 🤷‍♀️ although not too many to compare to other places.

The cabanas are set in a beautiful environment, away from all the noise. Peaceful and quiet except the occasional peacock call, which was a treat on its own. A special shout out to Kolitha, who did a good job ensuring everything was alright during our stay.
