The accommodation is a bit remote and closest beach is not really suitable for swimming. However, completely fine if you want to enjoy a bit of calmness.

Beautifully located next to a lagoon. Beautiful garden, pool and balcony are huge plus! So is watching the birds from the breakfast terrace. Try the Srilankan breakfast, was really great! Very kind hosts, supporting me with transportation arrangements and preparing food also at unusual hours. Would definately come back. :-)

Nothing really

Very friendly and hospitable owners who live on site, who organised Tuk tuks and taxi. Lovely swimming pool surrounded by beautiful gardens with resident peacocks and other birds. Our room had a lovely balcony at treetop level so we got great closeup views of birds. Restaurant overlooks a lake with kingfisher and bee-eater perches, which if you are a birder is fantastic. Room was clean with efficient a/c. Just under 10 min walk to a lovely long beach with a few beachside restaurants. Waves only for the brave!

Amazing location a short walk from the beach and the on site restaurant had great views over the lake, which was particularly amazing at breakfast. The hospitality and service were great and we wanted for nothing.

If you wanted peace and quiet, it was perfect but if you wanted some other options for diner, it was a 15 minute tuktuk ride into Tangalle. A fridge in the room would have been very much appreciated.

Beautiful surroundings, on the edge of a lagoon, so much wildlife, very peaceful and tranquil, lovely helpful host, always smiling. Great breakfast and evening meal.

Delightful location just off a lake a 8 minute walk to the beach. A little walk (45 mins or 10 min tuktuk) to Tangalle centre. The rooms were lovely and the pool was delightful as you can’t swim in the sea here currently (I think plans are in place to make a safe swimming area at the beach). The family that run the guesthouse are so friendly, warm and welcoming. The food they cook is all fresh and super delicious. It’s so nice having breakfast in the morning overlooking the lake and watching the birds, same with dinner in the evening.

At night there was a problem with noise from the air conditioner on the outside wall. The hostess said that they did not know about it and communicated to correct it.

Paradise. Wonderful hotel owner. Very tasty food. Clean, comfortable rooms, with a comfortable bathroom. Very beautiful, green, well-groomed area.

the breakfasts were very disappointing as it was just butter jam and toasts. The juices or fruit platters saved the day however! Lastly, we felt like we were overcharged for the laundry and it didn’t smell clean after…

The location was great, the service very friendly and helpful. The pool was cleaned every morning and the garden was extremely well maintained and made us feel like we were cohabitating with the peacocks, parrots and squirrels! the sunset was great from the patio, and the dinners were very tasty! The room was pretty confortable and very well decorated with so much taste! loved the wooden furniture and the bathroom was very spacious.

Great accomodation! Nice and clean rooms. The pool for our little son was perfekt. The area is calm and the view on the lake was awesome. Breakfast and dinner were very good. To the beach it's only about 5-10min walk. To the city it is about 15min ride per tuktuk. Friendly staff.

The place was peaceful, garden very well maintained and the swimming pool clean - great place to stay if you want to just relax. Beach available within few minutes walk. Owners were super helpful and polite. Overall the entire stay was really pleasant. Thank you! :)

Not too many things to do in the area except sleep-rest-relax. If you plan to go out be ready that there is a good distance to go from the main road.

Tranquility. Cleanliness. Friendliness of the host. Outdoor swimming pool was great fun for our children. Lake is abundant with birds and parrots and it's a pleasure to watch them.

Wonderful, family-run place with an amazing view of lagoon. Really, do not look any further, just book this place. :)

We couldn’t catch the wi fi and the water is dependant on solar energy, it is quite common on Sri Lanka, but be prepared 😊

We had a great time in Eagles Nest. The cabanas are located close to the ocean but far away from the city centre - for me a huge advantage, as I t was perfect to relax ✨ The rooms are clean and spacious, with AC and big bed. Houses are surrounded by greenery and you can watch the birds while eating in the restaurant - lovely thing. The pool is well maintained. We would stay there again for sure.

Bedding wasn't that comfortable

A lovely remote peaceful setting in the middle of nature with excellent staff. Lovely pool. Tuk tuk and car service.

I got lost in the dark coming back from the beach...Google maps doesn't direct you to Eagle's Nest, and it's not so clearly signposted, just a note to others!

I loved my stay here, what a lovely family, who went above and beyond for me! My balcony was huge, the pool was perfect, and the breakfast was wonderful. The beach is a short walk away.

Nothing!

This place was the peaceful tropical paradise that I was looking for. The room was simple but clean ( no bugs!) and with A/c and a large comfortable bed, it was easy to get a good night's sleep. Each room has a large private balcony from which you view the amazing bird life and playful squirrels. The large pool is clean and beautifully refreshing. Nimmie and her family could not be more helpful and attentive. She cooked anything I wanted and always greeted me with a warm smile and a cold beer! When the time came for me to leave she arranged for my transport back to Colombo and to the airport.

We really loved this place. The manager was super nice, she always helped us arrange whatever we needed.

Wonderful place with the most pleasant hostess. Nice property with a swimming pool, home restaurant, and a unique atmosphere surrounded by nature. About 10 minutes on foot to the paradise beach—a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying a great time. Very helpful and friendly family. Thanks for everything ❤️

Nothing, it was perfect!

Beautiful setting, surrounded by nature. Only five minutes walk to the beach. The swimming pool was amazing and the staff were very friendly and welcoming and helped us with transport for our onward journey. Breakfast was very tasty and filling. Probably our favourite place to stay in our two weeks travelling Sri Lanka. Excellent value for money and highly recommend.

We loved the nature, there are peacocks and parrots around, which was amazing, the views are stunning and the owners are so kind! We stayed in a room upstairs and we had the most wonderful view from our balcony. The beach is a very short walk away. We loved it here and we didn’t want to leave.

The most beautiful and best accommodation I could choose for the last days of my stay in Sri Lanka. The environment is amazing, a beautiful green garden, the restaurant overlooks the lagoon with lots of birds. The room is spacious, clean, with air conditioning. And the pool is a pleasant refreshment on hot days. The hosts are very nice and willing to help. I highly recommend it.

Stayed in October 2024

The wifi was weak. There was a bit of mold in our room (around the AC). The food was not that great.

The hotel really is in the middle of the paradise. There are a lot of birds to watch and it is the perfect place to relax. The staff was super nice. The pool was super clean.
