French Residence is by Sri Lanka terms fairly pricey (we paid around 8800 Rp a night) and does have a (cloudy) pool.
On the plus side our room had a comfortable mattress - air con - hot water and was fairly clean. Also the (good) Breakfast was on a rooftop terrace with good views. Staff were often not around - when they were, they were helpful.
However our room was supposed to have a balcony - it didn't have a useable one - and a sea view -- again it didn't really have one (some rooms did) . It also didn't have promised coffee maker etc. There was no restaurant open on site after breakfast - the hotel restaurant is over a very busy road - and that is the real problem with this place - the road!
The road outside is very busy all day and into the night. You need to cross it for the beach . Walking out especially after dark can be treacherous (there is no pavement)!
So basically okish but expensive and there are quieter, less diesel ridden parts of Tangalle.More
