    A Perfect Retreat at Eagle's Nest Cabanas: A Home Away from Home
    • Leisure trip

    Our stay at Eagle's Nest Cabanas in Tangalle from June 9th to June 12th, 2024, was nothing short of spectacular. This family-run gem, with only six rooms, offered us a truly personal and heartwarming experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by some of the friendliest and most caring people we’ve met in Sri Lanka. Their genuine hospitality made our stay exceptional. The breakfast options were delightful, catering to diverse tastes with three choices: a hearty English breakfast, a flavorful Sri Lankan breakfast, and the delicious Coconut Roti with various accompaniments. Each morning was a culinary treat, setting a perfect start to our day. Our room was incredibly spacious and comfortable, standing out from many other accommodations we've experienced in Sri Lanka and Asia. It was well-equipped with ample storage – a large bookcase, two wall units, a shelf, and conveniently placed plug sockets on either side of the massive bed. This thoughtful setup made it easy to keep our belongings organized and accessible. The bathroom was excellent, with a well-functioning shower that offered both hot and normal water options. After a day of exploring, it was refreshing to have such a reliable and relaxing shower. The pool area was a serene haven. Though the water was quite warm, it was lovely to sit by and unwind. The entire property, from the rooms to the pool to the beautifully tended gardens, was spotlessly clean and meticulously maintained. Eagle's Nest Cabanas also offered a small but diverse menu, and we were pleased to learn that the owner was more than willing to custom-make dishes to suit our preferences. This flexibility and willingness to accommodate our tastes added a personal touch that we greatly appreciated. Our stay was incredibly relaxing, and we left feeling rejuvenated and well-cared-for. Eagle's Nest Cabanas is a true sanctuary in Tangalle, and we can't wait to return.

    We had a lovely stay at Eagles nest cabanas. Our room had a really nice view over the swimming pool and lake. It is so peaceful and quiet, watching the birds and peacocks. Furthermore, the staff is extremely friendly and arranged a scooter and taxi for us. We extended 2 more nights because we loved it so much here.

    Wifi only worked in the restaurant area, not in the room.

    The accommodation is on the shore of the lake, a delight if you like birds. The room is equipped with everything you need, except for a refrigerator, but we knew that in advance, which did not bother us. You can relax in the guesthouse in front of the room where you have a terrace, in the restaurant or at the pool - I chose the guesthouse to laze by the pool for a few days, an excellent choice. I had dinner there, the food is super tasty, I recommend it and I would come back anytime.

    We will keep stay in this hotel in our memories forever! Very lovely staff is a great addition to delicious food they make in affordable prices, views of wild animals, well-kept garden area, point of birds observation in their natural habitat and nice chamber swimming pool. Close to Rekawa beach and turtle reserve. Birds are fed by the owners, rooms are clean. Our favourite stay in Sri Lanka!

    Eagle's Nest was a superb choice! We had a lovely warm welcome from Nimmi and all the team were really friendly. Our cabana was spacious, with it's own balcony. Great a/c and good shower. We didn't quite get a clear view of the pool or lake (if you're desperate for this maybe make sure you ask/book one of the first units in the row or one on the upper floor) but we were more than happy and loved spending time at the pool and restaurant with the views over the lagoon. Plenty of wildlife in the beautiful garden and in the water. Just a short stroll from amazing beaches. We ate at the hotel and also really enjoyed Sha Sha seafood restaurant right on the beach just a short walk away. This was the perfect stay, so relaxing, with lovely people, and great facilities. Thank you!

    Not much actually. Breakfast was nice but we stayed for 6 nights and there wasnt really any variety in the food.

    The family is so kind! We traveled with a 1 year old and provide also food for him. Highly recommended for people who are looking for a place to relax. The garden is beautiful with peacocks and other birds and last but not least a swimming pool. There are some restaurants options in walking distance. However you need a Tuktuk to go to Tangelle centre. The accommodation has its own. The beach is nearby. This is a very beautiful tranquil beach. One of the best in Tangalle. I recommend taking a stroll along the beach and passing some restaurants where you can get yourself a meal or drink.

    The wait for the food (breakfast or other meals) is really long, even when ordered in advance. There are no electric kettles in the rooms or even in the kitchen, so you have to ask the staff to boil hot water for coffee or tea which then takes AGES.

    Spacious rooms, beautiful gardens and a nice pool. Lots of wildlife around. There is a restaurant onsite that reserves good food. Friendly and helpful staff. 20 minute walk to the beach (there is a shortcut but it was flooded when we were there).

    The whole set up was amazing, the room was very comfortable for our family of four and the pool was incredible. Great location for the beach. Nimmi and her family were very welcoming, she helped organise a tour to Bundala (which was amazing) and her brother drove in his tuk tuk. The rottis at breakfast were also delicious! Thank you!

    Best place I have stayed although the most expensive too. But well worth it. Huge, comfortable bed, large room. But the swimming pool was heavenly. The beach, which was lovely, I didn't bother with I had everything at the cabanas. As for the food!! Best and tastiest anywhere. Loved the place. Highly recommended.

    the owner was very kind and helpful. we connected right away. she made our stay so pleasant that we would have loved to stay longer. rooms are clean and have a nice terrace with a view over the pool and wetlands. for families with kids it’s great because you can sit in front of your room watching the kids playing in the pool. there is an extra shallow part for kids in the pool as well. also the little boy named arosh, the owners son of joys playing with little visitors. 😍 we had a very great time there. thanks for everything! 🙏🫶
