Walk over a swinging bridge to reach coconut grove on beach with chalets. Stuff dreams are made of. Accommodation rustic and basic with no air con, one ceiling fan and open air windows which meant we had some bugs and a froggy visitor to share the room with but the charm of the place more than makes up for it....

Waouw! What a wonderful place with a wonderful staff and wonderful rooms! We loved it! It is so quiet and beautiful and environment friendly. If you want peace and a beautiful view, do not hesitate. The 4 cabanas on the beach are superb and quite annoying; you cannot see the bathroom when you get inside because you have to open... More

Great spot in Sri Lanka if you want to share a beach with just a few people and away from the busy parts of town. Food was good and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Pros: Turtle watching at night. I didn't see any, but each morning we saw the tracks...some which went right past the cabanas. Bring a... More

A little slice of heaven! We stayed in a beach cabana (€36) and absolutely loved it. The inside of the cabana is basic but nicely done. A double bed wit a mosquito net. A standing fan which was excellent seeing as you can put it right next to your bed at night time. Some shelves. a hatch to go down... More

We stayed for 1 night in a Beach Cabana to see the Sea Turtles at Rekawa Beach, although turtles also lay at the beach in front of the cabanas! They are beautifully made from wood, with an underground wetroom to keep the footprint of the cabana small and simple. The bed was comfortable with clean, with cool cotton sheets and... More

We stayed 3 nights at Mangrove Beach Cabanas. The moment we arrived, we felt like home. There's an easy going atmosphere here, and hey what do you expect if you're sitting there, enjoying your cold Lion beer, looking at miles of gold-sand beaches... We stayed in the rooftop room (the cabanas were fully booked), but this was actually quite ok.... More

We did not get the impression that locals are discouraged and had lunch at Mangrove Beach Cabanas. However when asked if we could stay with them on a future day and if locals are entertained, we were vaguely told that most of the time locals do not stay with them, but we could call and check. I do understand why... More

We stayed in the large beach cabana for four nights, beautiful rooms and great open air bathroom with hot & cold water, set on kilometres of what is in my opinion one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. A nice relaxing bed area outside and lounging restaurant area to relax, play board games in and use the (... More

Mangrove beach cabana’s is really a paradise on earth! We loved our stay from beginning to end! The cabana on the beach with view of the ocean was amazing and everything you would ask for. The cabana is open air because it is only made of wood, so a lot of air runs through it and you can hear the... More

We stayed in the chalets because the cabanas were full. For an extra five pounds a night we had a beautiful room with a/c, hot shower and balcony, hidden away by the palm trees. The service was impeccable throughout with nothing too much trouble. At night, eating in the restaurant decked over the lagoon, we felt like we were in... More
