Well, its been quite along (Last August 2012), we visited this hotel due to our flight was delayed. Still could remember how we were indulged by Mr. Chris & Ms. Sandamali at the reception. Welcomed us with fascinating Sri Lankan smile & was able to give us a very wonderful room to relax until i got myself back to the... More

The pluses - it is very near the airport, wonderful when you are tired after a long trip. The rooms are quiet and very big. The grounds are pleasant and breakfast was very good. It has a pleasant, laid back feel. The minuses - rooms need attention, plug sockets were broken, air conditioning was a bit unpredictable and hard to... More

This is a nice hotel in a very tranquil location, just 10 minutes from the airport. Very quiet, just what you need to get a good sleep after a late arrival. The whole place feels very spacious and green. Chalets are huge, with large bedroom, lounge area, bathroom and veranda. Free wifi is available, although the signal isn't great. Minibar... More

Was very surprised not to find the usual concrete block airport hotel directly under the flight path! This is a lovely, green setting. Rooms are in fact bungalows. Bathroom is a bit bare but bedroom / lounge good. Wifi wasn't working but bags turned up quickly. Reception staff struggled with English but were good enough to go back to my... More

This is a stylist garden resort - peaceful and quiet. It has the added advantage of being only 10 mins from the airport. The chalets where tastefully decorated and it had a great pool. The staff were great - I overslept breakfast by an hour and so a member of the restaurant staff kindly brought a breakfast selection on a... More

Our tour company had paid extra for us to be picked up at the airport by Tamarind Tree. The hotel did not pick us up at all. We were left in the lurch and had to have airport staff call the hotel. Our tour company had also arranged for us to have a king-size bed and when we finally got... More

The Tamarind Tree is, in effect, an airport hotel. Given that context, it's unusual and surprising. It is remarkably peaceful, and public spaces and accommodation chalets are set in quiet and pleasing grounds with a truly splendid collection of mature tropical hardwood trees. The huge and eponymous Tamarind itself is located immediately outside the dining area, which also overlooks a... More

I got delayed by Sri Lankan Airlines for 6 hours so they sent me to this hotel. It is near the airport but in an odd location and needed to be very well secured. Driver was crazy using two phones simulatneously while driving and changing gear! Layout is like villas. No concierege cart your own bags around the dirt tracks.... More
