Ganesh Garden Beach Cabanas

We stayed 2 nights in January. The restauarant service and food was fantastic. The pool was well maintained and drinks at the swim up bar were cold and fresh. Playing 8 ball and relaxing in the hammocks. The cooking class with chef Lailth is a must and was one of my favourite memories of our holiday to Sri Lanka.

We had a bungalow for our family, which was not that big, it definitely was comfortable to sleep there. The area is fantastic, very quiet and the location is right next to the beach. The staff was super friendly, we had optional breakfast, which was great since it was a buffet and only six dollars per person, little kids for free. Dinner was also delicious, fresh seafood, tuna and white snapper. You can also go kayaking across the hotel and see lots of Lizards. Next door is a hotel with a nice pool which we were able to use as well. The ocean is kind of rough, but if you go about 15 minutes west, there is a little natural pool in the ocean where kids can play and swim. The only downside was that there was only one plug in to charge your devices. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and stay there. I would definitely recommend going there.

A beautiful beachfront spot with a very friendly owner who makes the whole stay feel personal. The cabanas are spacious, airy and comfortable, and the whole area has a super chilled, tropical atmosphere. I really enjoyed waking up to the sound of the ocean. A small improvement like a shelf in the bathroom would be useful, but overall it was a lovely stay. Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE STAFF! You are the best!

Pictures don’t do this place justice!! I would come again and reccomend to friends Beautiful resort, on gorgeous beach, good food, really cool cabana rooms with hammocks. Tranquil and not too busy , lots of restaurants in walking distance Can use lovely pool in the adjacent hotel. Swim up bar with happy hour Room itself is small with basic bathroom, but felt safe secure and AC worked Like the whole of Sri Lanka, service isn’t the fastest and you have to wave to waiter to get served

At the end of this peninsula you find a little paradise. Its at the end of the road, next to the sea at one side, and the lagoon on the other side. Its very clean, the straff very helpful and warm. The hotel is good for bouth familys and couples. The pool is clean and on the beach with a view over the ocean - and a poolbar! The food is over all good and they have a basic offer on the menu. But its good and fresh. Along the way in to town there are many restaurants and coffe places to choose from. We went in to town, you need to take a tuk-tuk for the price of 400 LKR, but the range of restaurants is better by the road by the sea. And it is walking distance to the restaurants. We where here in november, before high season, and ot was very calm. But the sea was crazy and it was impossible to take a swim in the sea. Good the place have a wonderful pool!

We treated ourselves to one night at the pricey Ganesh Garden, and the location was superb. The rooms were nice, but everything was a little bit broken, maintenance not being a key part of Sri Lankan hospitality. The bedside lights were broken - which is fine, but not what you expect from the most expensive room we've stayed in on our many trips to Sri Lanka. The staff were of course lovely. But there was no local coffee in the much-vaunted breakfast, you had to ask for it specially - or put up with the hard-to-open sachets of instant coffee that were offered. We will come back next year, though.

Had an amazing stay at Ganesh Garden — the photos truly don’t do it justice. The grounds are beautifully maintained and feel like a hidden oasis. The staff were incredibly welcoming, the pool and pool bar were perfect for relaxing, and the food was fantastic. One day we even caught a whole fish and the chef cooked it for us perfectly. Couldn’t recommend this place more for a relaxing and authentic Sri Lankan stay.

Very disappointing stay at Ganesh Beach Cabanas, Tangalle. We booked and paid for a sea view cabana but were instead given a room near the reception at the rear of the resort, with no sea view at all. When we raised this, we were told it used to have a sea view before plants grew — which obviously doesn’t match what was advertised or booked. The room itself was below expectations: there was no mosquito net as advertised, no fridge, and the bathroom smelled musty and damp. The staff were unfriendly and unhelpful, and no effort was made to resolve the room issue or offer a reasonable alternative. Breakfast was buffet-style and okay but nothing special, we had to ask for basics like a plate and a glass. The beach is not swimmable due to the sea conditions and rocks, and although there is a pool, we didn’t use it as we left after the first night. Overall, this stay did not match the description or value promised. We would not return and cannot recommend it based on our experience.
