Simple and on the beach. Beautiful view from window and perfectly comfortable with the window open all night listening to the waves.

The Alpha Monkey is in a wonderful location with simple natural accommodation right next to the beach.. The owner and all the staff were extremely kind when I mislaid my mobile phone and our dinner on the beach was delicious. We had a wonderful time here !

This is paradise on earth. We had a house right on the beach, there is a swimming pool, a restaurant, sun loungers, a shelter on the beach... They welcomed us with a fruit drink. You have the most beautiful beach on the island to yourself, even in the highest season there were a minimum of people here.

Wifi in room was poor

Loved the cabana style rooms

As I mentioned above, there's a lot to improve. The biggest problem is the absence of any usual stuff in the apartment. No fridge, no kettle, no cups and plates (but were taken from the kitchen), even no broom. As a result you have to ask the staff even for boiled water to get some coffee for breakfast. The squirrels may steal your food, so why not add a fridge? No fridge means no cold beer, no yoghurts for breakfast... I think the idea was that you always have to use their restaurant, but it's pretty expensive and they are weak in cooking. Even the pasta was a disaster here. I wonder why these women spend all their lives in the kitchen but still unable to learn how to cook ))) So the breakfast here is fruits and the dinner is somewhere nearby (the prices everywhere are pretty high, because they are spoiled by rich European tourists). We had a car so it wasn't a big problem to go to the supermarket (but were limited in food choice since we had no fridge, no cooker, not kitchenware), but finding a good restaurant here is a challenge. The absence of a broom makes the apartment full of sand right the next day. There is no hot water in the shower (not a big problem). So, to sum up, my advice to the owner: just add a fridge, kettle, plates, spoons, forks, knife, cups, broom. The rental price is not cheap so you can afford it. Good luck :)

As a property owner, I know that giving the low rating is a disaster, so I give 9/10 in advance. Actually it could be about 6/10 since there is a lot to improve. As for the good: the location and the wildlife format (for those who are ready for that). You live like in a tent on the beach, so nature is all yours, including all animals: monkeys, iguanas, squirrels, crabs, bats, bugs... Good news we didn't have any insects in our beds. The apartments are "spartan" style, can't be called "sparkling clean", but neat enough, and have toilet. The sound of the ocean is stunning, but can become a challenge for many (including my wife and little son). The beach itself is awesome, but to swim you need to go to the left about 500 meters. The pool with sea water is a great idea and was loved by our kids. To sum up, I can recommend staying here for 2-3 nights maximum, because it can't be called a comfort place, but it could be an interesting experience ;)

The food was okay, I'd recommend eating somewhere else, but there are good options walking distance from there.

Beautiful place! Beach, nature, beautiful garden with a pool!

So special place to stay! It is charming! Owner was very kind. They have a restaurant - little bit more expensive, but you can have just coffee in the morning :)

Wow - really special and unique stay here. Truly on the beach. Loved hearing the sea right next to us while in bed. Shower was also great - really powerful. Staff were also lovely and the hotel’s bar/ restaurant was the perfect place for sunset drinks on the beach.

Maybe a fridge and hot water but even so, we were very happy.

The peach and solitude and a reminder of the simple life I enjoyed 50 years ago.

Could have been a bit cleaner in some places

I liked the closeness to nature, the beach and the beautiful facilities.

Too much wildlife in the cabana, have in mind that it is basically an semi-open tree house (at least the one that we were staying in). Might need some deep clean once in a while.

Amazing open tree house, with the oceans just meters away! Beautiful pool, spacious room.

I loved the swimming pool (salty water) and the view from beach cabana.

Such a beautiful location and the owner was very kind and attentive. All staff infact were friendly and helpful. The beach and the pool were exceptional. The rooms basic but it has everything you need in a slice of paradise. In a very nice area of Tangalle.

Beautiful beach but not possible to swim due to waves. The garden view rooms are as beautiful as the sea view rooms. Nice garden. All rooms have beautiful balconies, the rooms are very basıc.

Its vibe and its location! It is a very chill and relaxed structure with cabañas in front of a beautiful and not crowded beach! Nothing luxury, but absolutely recommendable! It is very close to the beach where you can see turtles! Staff was amazing

The Alpha Monkey know how to do serenity and relaxation. Provided everything we needed and they make sure their guests are comfortable. Great to be away from the tourist track but a quick tuk tuk ride can get you to banks, shops, restaurants. This is the best place on this strip of coast.

We had the best stay ever! From the moment we arrived, the hospitality of the manager was outstanding—friendly, helpful, and always ensuring we had everything we needed. But let’s be clear: the surroundings are absolutely breathtaking. The house is located in a stunning, peaceful area with an (almost) private, long beach just steps away. The views, the tranquility, and the sheer beauty of the place made this one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. On top of that, the value for money is unbeatable. At just $35 per night, staying in this paradise is far more than a fair deal—it’s an absolute steal! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable getaway. We will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
