ザ フランジパニ ツリー バイ エドワーズ コレクション(The Frangipani Tree by Edwards Collection)

The hotel is stunning, quiet and very private. The rooms were fantastic, with two rooms alone in one building for my family, opening out to the sea. Yet what stood out was the absolutely sensational service. Sampath and Sanjeewa were among the best we've ever seen, always remembering our requests. Attentive, and on the ball, nothing was too much for them. They are so organised and on top of everything. The other staff are also brilliant, with the service always fast, and polite. Pasindu showed some great skills with the football when entertaining our kids. Everyone there was great with the kids and they absolutely loved the stay and were so sad to leave. The gentleman who cleaned the pool and the beach was amazing also. We enjoyed the new year celebrations a great deal. We recommend this property wholeheartedly and hope to go back soon. Thanks again to Sampath for arranging everything so well. Can't wait to go back. The breakfast was absolutely incredible

Thank you team Frangipani for making my son's wedding so memorable . From Mr Ni****ha( from the Management) ,to Mr Fernando and to Mr Sampath and his team everyone ensured that all the guests felt welcomed. The Frangipani Tree is a beautiful place for a quiet getaway with family and loved ones. The property is beautiful and blends into the Indian Ocean. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The hospitality won my heart.

Our room was spacious, airy and air conditioned, with doors opening to a large front patio, seating area and lawn to sea, shaded by palms, with sun loungers. It was also the end-most room so no-one needed to walk past to get to their room (not that were many people staying anyway!) but it was still only one minute walk from the central/bar/dining building. There was a huge (semi-covered) outdoor bathroom / courtyard, with a big freestanding bathtub and separate shower. The thorough and diligent housekeeping and maintenance team keep all rooms, outside spaces and pool absolutely immaculate. Regrettably you can't swim directly in front of the hotel as the beach shelves steeply with strong currents, however you can scramble over some rocks and head 500 metres or so westwards where there is a tiny beach cafe and a safer area to swim. The hotel has a lovely pool, long enough for length swimming, with more loungers set alongside. Desk and chair provided in room would serve as an ideal dressing table, however there was no mirror or socket near it! WiFi effective across the site. “All-day” food menu covers most tastes at typical hotel prices. Breafast choice of English, Indian or Sri Lankan (try egg hoppers with fish curry for breakfast - delicious!). Wine seems expensive in most hotels in Sri Lanka compared with UK/EU prices, here being similar. Food is good and tasty (although curry & rice seemed rather “westernised” and not at all spicy), service is leisurely, but everything is cooked to order and we were in no hurry! They will ask you for your dinner order during the course of the day, and your breakfast order before you retire at night. If you wish you can opt to have meals served at your own patio table. Staff English speaking seems quite limited, but we didn't have any issues with this. Nearly all of our food and drink service was provided by the very kind and helpful frontman Dammika. Sunsets overlooking the ocean with a cocktail or a beer were beautiful. Overall this is a small, well kept, quiet total relaxation place, with the crashing waves as background, only occasionally overriden by a tooting horn to remind you there's a busy road and a world outside the high front wall. There's little or nothing to do other than relax, which suited us just nicely for a few days R&R at the end of a long, busy tour of Sri Lanka. In fact as the hotel occupancy was low during our stay it had the rather exclusive feel of a gated private villa! Nearby: If you want to step outside the hotel there's little or nothing worth walking to, and it's a busy main road, but dozens of tuk-tuks ply this road so we grabbed one (cost Rs 1000) to visit nearby Unawatuna, which has a big, clean, safe-for-swimming sandy beach, with plenty of beachfront bars and cafes with sunbeds (some free if you eat/drink there). Unawatuna is however a go-to resort for Russians - many shop signs and bar menus there are written in dual English/Russian - although that didn't trouble us.

The most beautiful spot overlooking crashing waves and white sand, this place is an oasis of calm. The staff at The Frangipani are the nicest people and have made our visit a truly memorable one. The little messages written on our bed in flowers and swan towels display when they do the turndown service. Even the security man on the gate is super friendly unless you're a baddie! The food is outstanding quality, the best breakfast and Sri Lankan curry I have had on the island! Dammika the manager and all the staff are smiley, helpful and a joy! Truly amazing Sri Lankan hospitality! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

On the surface this should be an amazing hotel. Beautiful beach side location. Superb pool. Spacious room and an outside bathroom to die for. But …. A large all-day unchanging menu doesn’t work for us and it was rather mediocre. Too many minor maintenance issues - aircon malfunction, toilet not always filling, light switches odd, not enough sockets, shaver point loose and not working. Shame. Staff were nice but needed better leadership - too chaotic and not planning ahead. Could do so much better.

Stunning setting and beautiful accommodation. Food, especially breakfast was very enjoyable. Very clean and well maintained. The staff could not be more friendly and attentive - bravo to Dammika and his team. Highly recommend a visit to the turtle sanctuary with kids and the beach from there is amazing (4km away).

Thank you so much to Damika and the team for making our stay so comfortable and lovely. A very serene property and the staff really ensures you are taken care of. A great short getaway for anyone who needs one!

Arriving at The Frangipani Tree, we were greeted by a lovely pool facing the Indian Ocean. The staff and service provided were top noch. Sri lankan hospitality at its finest. With attention and care given to every detail, but not in an intrusive way. All requests were met with a smile. Shout out to Dhammika as well for making our mornings a pleasant one. The food was amazing, and the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean. Most amazing was the convenience of lovely sunrise and sunset views. Will sure come back again.
