Being able to use a card would have been SO much easier than having to pay in cash. But I gather this will be an option from December onwards

Very well appointed. Lovely pool. Lots of wildlife. Great staff who made us very welcome and comfortable and cooked delicious meals for us.

Wonderful, very clean accommodation with the most beautiful pool we’ve experienced so far. Very friendly and family-like service, and an incredible variety of exotic wildlife, especially birds. Secluded dream beaches within walking distance (though unfortunately very rough at this time of year). Lots of restaurants just a few minutes’ walk away. A true piece of authentic Sri Lanka. Thanks also for the nice birthday surprise for my daughter! Unforgettable stay!

Beautiful pool and very comfortable room. Great breakfast and one evening we got the home cooked dinner - a delicious selection of curries! Very peaceful location and within walking distance of the beach and turtle sanctuary which is definitely worth a visit at nighttime. Would definitely recommend!

Really nice location, amongst the wildlife, but close to the beach. Amazing staff. Spacious rooms.

Great to have toiletries provided, and breakfast can be better. Note: location is quiet and relaxed but not in central tangalle. Would recommend having a scooter or tuk tuk if more than ~2 days.

Room and common area facilities was spacious and clean. Great that it's small setting for 4 rooms only. Hosts are responsive to questions and coordinating activities!

We had an amazing stay! The new, clean pool was a definite highlight, and the air conditioning in the room was fantastic – especially considering how hot it was. The location is very remote, but the owner is more than happy to help with tuk-tuk arrangements if you need them. We had dinner at the property, which was a bit on the expensive side but definitely worth it – the fresh fish was absolutely delicious. The breakfast was decent, though not the best we've had in Sri Lanka, and I think it could be improved, especially for the value of money. One thing to note is that the bathroom didn’t have a mosquito net, and a frog entered our room during the night, which was a bit unexpected. However, the owner was really nice when we asked for help and made sure everything was taken care of. We also had an incredible wildlife experience – we saw monkeys, squirrels, peacocks, and even a Komodo dragon near the beach! It was such a unique touch to the stay. The pool was really well-maintained, but one downside was that there weren’t enough sunbeds for the 4 rooms, which could be an issue when it’s busier. Overall, a great stay with some minor improvements needed, but we would definitely recommend it for a relaxing getaway!

Wonderful hotel in a very beautiful location. Everything is very clean and well maintained. Clean and very beautiful swimming pool. The owner, and hotel manager Gintarė is very friendly and always ready to help. The breakfast is very delicious, and we don’t even have anything to say about the dinner, it’s just amazing. The stay was wonderful, I definitely recommend everyone to visit.

Beautiful place located very close to a beautiful beach and away from noise and crowds. You can relax and enjoy the charms it offers by starting the day with a delicious breakfast, something different is served every day. The owner takes great care of the satisfaction of his guests and also likes to cook. In particular, the hit dish with fresh shrimp stole our hearts, we highly recommend it - it is delicious, and the portion will surprise everyone, it is huge 🦐🦐🦐 The host, hearing that we would like to taste red fish 🎏🎣🐟 ordered and prepared it especially for us ❤️ thank you once again for your hospitality and care for making us feel good, we highly recommend it to everyone, a big thank you to the owner and manager, who made our stay incredibly pleasant 🥰

Everything was perfect

The Lookout Lodge in Rekawa was absolutely beautiful – the best place we stayed at in Sri Lanka! Everything was super clean, the pool was fantastic, and the breakfasts were amazing. Every morning, we got a different breakfast, and each one was delicious. The place is peaceful, which makes it perfect for relaxing. Right in front of the lodge, there are ponds with beautiful birds, which adds to the charm of the place. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful – they even arranged lovely birthday decorations for my sister, which was such a nice surprise. The area is stunning, very quiet, and the nearby beaches are completely empty, with sea turtles everywhere.

You need a tuk tuk to go to other beaches than rekawa (with big Waves)

The swimming pool and the garden The host are very reactive and available to help to organise your activities

We had the most amazing time. The host is attentive, relaxed and cares about details. The roomes were spotless just like the pool. Good wifi and great breakfast. He also provides filtered wather. By far our best stay in Sri Lanka. We would highly recommend this place.

It is in a very quiet area, 10 minutes walk to the beach. The rooms are spacious, very clean, very well ventilated (the air is very clean, not like other accommodations in Sri Lanka). The garden is very beautiful and well maintained. The pool is chic and very clean, the water has a perfect temperature. The owners are very friendly and always willing to help you. They can cook you a delicious, fresh dinner, cooked on the spot, or they can organize various excursions in the area (safari, temple visit, kayaking on the lagoon, etc.). The breakfast is rich and very tasty, with fruit from the owners' garden. The atmosphere in the area is very quiet, there are not many tourists, you can meet locals which gives the place a truly authentic atmosphere.

Nothing, everything was great. This is a place for people who want to get away from a city, so location is a bit secluded, but that’s the point. You can explore different beaches and walk on a shoreline like we did, we came back using tuk-tuk.

You feel you are close to nature. Lodge feels new and fresh. Bathroom is nice, a European standard, so not common. But most of all owner and manager give each tourist attention and are open to help. We had a great dinner at the lodge, so it’s worth trying, owner is a man of many talents. Last but not least pool is well maintained and water felt great like silk. Beach is close by, waves were crashing hard but if you swim further it’s calm.

We loved everything

We stayed here in October. It was absolutely the most wonderful place we stayed in Sri Lanka. Felt like we walked into paradise! The whole place has a peaceful vibe. The garden and swimming pool are just lovely. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The hotel is walking distance from the most beautiful beach and the owner is so incredibly friendly. We only booked one night and wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely a place we want to go back to!

A lovely place in the quiet part of Tanglle. We booked at the last minute and they were ready for us with an early check-in early and a very nice welcome drink. The owner Gintarė and manager Chami were very helpful, organising transport to The other side of Tanglle and to Mirissa. The wetlands near the lodge had many birds which was a bonus. Highly recommended.
