It was an not a modern building which I like. The only thing that I did not like was the Front office check in staff who were not accommodating. It was a great pity as the rest of the staff were awesome.

Verified traveller

The property was quite good with a very nice environment. However, we had to cancel the booking done through Expedia as Expedia has sub-contracted our reservations through Neckermann Reisen and did not even inform us. Due to Thomas Cook Group insolvency, the hotel was not willing to honour the reservation, for which we had already paid for. I wrote to Expedia on this and up to now not received any response. WE HAD TO PAY TO THE HOTEL A SECOND TIME DIRECTLY COSTING A LOT OF MONEY ?????

Pleasant stay at Tangerine with helpful reception staff. Food is easily available with options outside of the hotel limited unless you venture out somewhere. Amenities around the pool are good with a bar, cafe and gym.

It was clean but all rooms smells of damp to the point you can not sleep because you feel it in your lungs! Staff serving pool area are very rude people, they treat badly Womens and but ignore the same man behave! I felt like I am lady and have rights in their hotel because I am not man! I was removed from pool for wearing top in pool ( the man shouted at me loudly to go out) then after my complain to manager staff realised I am not at wrong and they allowed me to use it. Few days later I could see Sri Lankan men wearing cotton top in he pool ( it is not hygienic for pool) but nobody told him to go out of pool. Also I complained twice that men was smoking in the pool and nobody sorted it out. Cigarette ash was in the pool from his cigaret but it did not bother staff at all. I was told they will tell him not to but then he stayed whole day in the pool smocking and it was ignored by staff! This is our first out of 20 hotels where we stayed and felt terrible and upset every few days. Unfortunately we stayed 3 weeks there and had to put up with it ! If you want nice calm holidays do not choose this hotel. They are better hotels where actually woman is the same important as man!

Ideal for a quiet, relaxing holiday. Staff very attentive and the Resident Manager went out of his way to make our stay pleasant. However, absence of a lift and numerous steps to climb made it less friendly to senior citizens The manager did say that steps are being taken to rectify these shortcomings

Lovely hotel with a decent gym and pool!
Lovely hotel, good selection of food for breakfast compared to other hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka, great staff, best gym in a the hotels we stayed in and a lovely large pool. Our room was a duplex with the bed on a mezzanine floor and a second washroom upstairs and we had a fab sea view to watch the sunset from our balcony. The room was dated looking, I believe the hotel was built some time ago, but that didn't bother us as was clean and housekeeping was great. The only downside for us was the location, not much outside the hotel, the beach was a bit scruffy and the railway ran nearby. Some decent small restaurants nearby but if staying for a week or two theres not a lot in walking distance.
