“Spectacular relaxing resort”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

Although slightly off the main road to Galle, this is actually an advantage for a peaceful stay as the main beach road can get very busy and the locals driving leaves a lot to be desired! The staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are so comfortable and clean, set in a quadrangle attached to this... More

“Elegant and relaxed setting close to Galle”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

We stayed at Tamarind Hill in early April 2013 with our three young kids. On arrival we were brought to the Captain's Suite which is spectacular with plenty of space even for our family of five and dignified yet comfortable colonial era decor. The common areas are highly attractive with rooms arranged around an elegant courtyard. The pool gives directly... More
