We stayed in the family suite - large, very comfortable, with outstanding 180 views from the balcony. There are two exceptional beaches within five minutes walk. Silent Beach to the left was pristine, few people and wonderful if slightly choppy swimming. Fisherman's Beach in the other direction was easier swimming, most people were there for the surfing. Lovely relaxed vibe. Both had great friendly places to eat and drink. One of us was celebrating a big birthday and we were treated to breakfast on the balcony with flowers from the garden and a cake for tea which all the team came out to share. Very special. To add that the hotel is set in large gardens in the heart of a friendly village (we were greeted by everyone), with a number of recommended home cooking restaurants. Enjoy! An amazing place.

It’s a beautiful place in the nature and just 5’ walk to the amazing silent beach. Ruth and the rest of the team were so so nice! The room is so big and comfortable, colonial style with a big bed and cozy mosquito net, you can spend hours in the terrace with views of the sea and the noises of the jungle, at night you can see the stars from the bed, it’s so beautiful! The dinner and the breakfast were delicious!! The even allow us to stay a little bit longer and do the check out later :-) You can relax in the main common areas within the hotel, certainly we recommend this charming place to stay in one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. We totally recommend to stay here!!
Everything was perfect!!

Stunningly beautiful setting! The views onto the ocean are just amazing and the way the property is built you have a view from everywhere. Gorgeous dining area, spacious and comfortable rooms, Yoga and Chillout are that is free to use and has - of course - a stunning view, beautiful garden. The location is very quiet and secluded, but within less than 5 minutes walking distance there are two great beaches. Even though the hotel is elevated, the walk uphill is not too bad. Super friendly and welcoming staff, all of them! We felt very well taken care of. Option to get a great massage right on site. The concept of being close to nature. There's no AC for example, but you also don't need it.
For us, the food seemed a bit "westernized". We think we had more authentic food elsewhere. But maybe that's intentional, just depends on your preference in the end :)

What a find! This is one of those places when you arrive and think, I wish I booked this place for more days. It is so peaceful and we had amazing relaxing time there. The views from our balcony was breathtaking, you could sit there all day and watch birds, monkeys, squirrels to play. Staff is a credit to the hotel, all very friendly and helpful, particularly Sunny and Anura. The hotel owner is lucky to have them. Room was spacious and bright. We had dinners at the hotel twice and would say they were better than other places we have eaten at, plus we had an amazing view, watching rain, jungle and sea. Would love to come back one day. One of the best places we have ever stayed.
All good 😁

This is a peaceful calm hotel with wonderful staff. The facilities are limited but because it is trying to connect you to your location, not fancy silly things. Ruth, Sunny and the staff are very kind and attentive. It’s was a lovely stay. Very relaxed.
I needed better connection for WiFi. But I understand this is not the ethos of this hotel. Consider this if you need to be online often.

I was looking for a nice place to rest after a month of touring in Sri Lanka. By chance I found this beautiful place. I gave it a try for two days. Ended up staying 16 days. I loved everything there. It's authentic. Attention to details shows that they really care. Thanks Sawny and Anoura. Highly recommandable

The Little Tamarind is a wonderful place to stay. Gorgeous views, outstanding breakfast and facilities, and walking distance to Sri Lanka’s most beautiful beaches. Each morning two Grey Hornbills came to visit us. Very accommodating, friendly and attentive staff.
Nothing, we enjoyed our stay very much.

It’s a beautiful tasteful property, in a quiet location, with a stunning panoramic view of the sea from up high. Sunny and the team were so helpful and respectfully attentive. Good chat too The location was perfect for a relaxing hol away from crowds. very close to silent beach, and also close to another small beach. on top of a steep hill which may not suit everyone, but I quite liked the hike - meant I earned the yummy food
Some monkeys pulled some wires apart which knocked off the electrics, so I had to move room for a night. But nothing the property could do, and all part of the charm,

A fantastic location in a sleepy seaside village. Two mins walk to the beach. I was the only guest but Eli, Sunny and the team really made me feel very welcome, and accommodated changes in my booking. The breakfast that was included was excellent. It's an ideal place for a short visit to unwind.
