Golden Pearl Tangalle Beach

Located in a very bustling area of Tangalle Beach, there is plenty going on here, with restaurants, bars and lots of young people around, and that's just on the road side of the hotel. A short walk through the entrance area and you emerge onto the pool, beyond which is the beach access. The rolling waves crash onto the beach, while sipping local beer, under a palm tree, in comfortable chairs and lounges. Further down the beach people were lounging and even enjoying a massage under the trees. There was plenty to do and see in the area, with most attractions only a short tuk tuk ride away. Definitely not as quiet or isolated as Turtle Beach, or as trendy as some of the other beach resorts further down the road, it was still an interesting and comfortable hotel. The breakfast buffet was good, although a bit limited. The room was very spacious and comfortable, but watch out for the polished concrete floor which can be very slippery when wet. Staff were a bit off hand, but in all, a pretty decent place.

Very old, run down and very dirty. The most dirty hotel I’ve ever stayed in. 👎

Great location and service
