one of the best and attractive hotels for the price range in wadduwa area. very clean and nicely arranged furnitures using maximum out of the available space. rooms (Triple and double rooms are bit smaller but looks spacious due to attic type arrangement for the bed). all the rooms have sea view due to hotel architectural design. very good and helpful staff who work hard to give their best for the residents. Dinner and breakfast buffets are very tasty and wider varieties to select. swimming pool is large and clean with adequate supporting staff.

beach is just beyond the fence at the back of the hotels. you could see and smell the sea but will not be able to use the beach. there are gates to reach the beach but are always close possibly due to tough sea waves.

Advertising- We thought it was nicer in person than appeared on the first photos on booking.com, but if you scroll through you can see the nice facilities offered Gym- has a bench, barbell, dumbbells and, cardio equipment and a few pulleys. Basic but able to do a full workout, air conned, not busy Beach- rocky and rough waves, lovely backdrop and sounds. more sandy beach is short walk just outside hotel, we had a baby and didn't venture this far. View- overlooking sea with sunsets and palm trees. Fencing could be updated to be more decorative. Lovely water display in lobby, comparable to the sea view. Make sitting in the bar very nice Security- very secure and friendly Staff- always smiling, typical great Sri Lanka hospitality Food- great choice of western/eastern dishes. Two cafes with separate menus down by pool and buffet in restraunt. Entertaimment- we didn't use mich but could see they had available. Had live music in the evenings at the bar and offered sports and activities Cleanliness - very clean, some tiny tiny little insect in room but this seems to be all over the country, partly expected due to the climate. Good air con Price-it was a very affordable price and comparable to expensive 5 star hotels we have stayed in previously. Cheaper than similar hotels.

With its heavy teak wood furnishings and old timer charm this is a wonderful hotel to stay in Kalutara. We spent 4 nights there and had a great time. the property is lovely with the pool, lush green courtyard and also a natural lagoon!. Watch out for the resident monitor lizard. This is mostly a family oriented hotel for the local tourists. The service and courtesy of the staff was also up to the mark, although the cafe staff is overworked. The only drawback is the beach access is closed off probably due to strong waves and undercurrents in this stretch. Couple of restaurants and shop just outside the hotel within walkable distance. The breakfast is a wide and delicious spread. No complaints there. Rooms are spacious, clean Would recommend this hotel if travelling with family.

Slightly noisy A/C due to the age, but the sea views and sound of crashing waves make up for it.

First of all I will try to evaluate the factual situation: the hotel is in an very good condition. The employees work a lot in the facilities and belonging to that reason the property has a good condition. The stuff (everyone) was super!! friendly. So we had a proper stay.

What we don’t like are these Tourist Temples. This Propery is a very big one and there are mostly older people who run to the buffet. We don’t like that mass processing character. I wasn’t recognized that situation when I booked the Hotel. So according to that situation we wouldn’t join the hotel again, I guess.

Starting with front desk staff Ms Nishadi who was very competent and professional, it was a good stay overall. Breakfast and other meals were good, the general environment although a little old was quite pleasant and spacious. Good view of the ocean. Highly recommended.

Tangerine Hotel is a an incredible space and relaxing design which you feel almost immediately relaxed in as soon as you enter the lobby of the hotel. What makes it absolutely special is the genuine hospitality and professionalism of all the staff from Management through to the trainees and waiting staff. They treat you with absolute kindness and respect and particularly with one of our family members having health issues and less mobility access they were very helpful making sure they are attended on and welcome regardless.

This is nothing to do with the hotel itself or something that they could control , but having visited years ago it was sad to see the beach being eroded away, which used to be a beautiful and pristine beach. Fingers crossed some restoration could be undertaken in the near future. Having said that the facilities and hospitality and the view made it almost negligible that you couldn't directly access the beach.

The rate was fabulous, The room was clean, cosy, Nice sea view with balcony with top rated breakfast. Lots of variety. :)

Stayed 30 minutes for checking until they figure out my reservation. No welcome drink, at the lotus restaurant area rates were expensive, and orders a soup and seafood platter and soup was horrible . Sent it back to test and they told me they added too much white wine. But that’s not true.. tastes like expired fresh milk added to it. :(

A long waited reunion with my best friends and Tangerine was the perfect choice. Initially we were bit reluctant since we had a group of seven ladies however it was very safe and secure environment for all travelers with staff and the Management team doing their best to ensure everything is looked after. We were spoiled for choices especially with breakfast buffet and other facilities also were right up to our expectations. We would highly recommend Tangerine for who ever wish to have a short break from their busy lives.

The room was spacious, clean and comfortable! Staff was very courteous and the hotel itself is beautiful, with lots to explore! The breakfast buffet was quite impressive. Spa experience was great, although a tad overpriced.

Not much of a beach to walk along, but decent view from the room, except that there was some construction during my stay which made it a bit noisy. WiFi was very spotty and signal on many of the TV channels were not great.

Food exceptional, Room size perfect with a lovely sized balcony. Air conditioning, fridge and safe in room. Staff very helpful and friendly. This was my second trip and I will be returning

I thought there was going to be a private beach attcched to the hotel. In fact the beach has been washed away.
