The location is one of our favorites on our trip through the country. The beach is beautiful, even if not optimal for swimming (but the pool is), like most of the coastline. The beach is endless and with only very few people… a lot of wildlife to watch on the premises and around … the sound of the crashing waves when falling asleep in your bungalow with ocean view is awesome! The place itself might be simple and not too fancy, but for us pretty close to perfect. Just really tranquil and peaceful. Food is good, many other options along the beach also. The staff is amazingly kind and helpful - you just have to ask and they will get out of their way to help you! We actually came back for a couple more days after our first stay…

Beachfront location on a quiet, wide, sandy beach, perfect for walks. Surf too high for swimming while we were there. Pool was clean and warm and a good size. Sufficient loungers and a few beach beds. The property is older but well kept. It's not fancy; it's very homey and comfortable. Each room is a separate bungalow with a covered deck and chairs for sitting. Room was a good size and bed was comfortable. Great value for a beachfront resort. Food was good at the restaurant. You can walk up the beach to a few other resort restaurants, but nothing else is walking distance.

My wife and I were extremely well looked after by Mahesh and the team at Helios. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was delicious and personally served to us at our time of choosing. Our chalet was lovely with a great view of the ocean. We were at the resort over the New Year and were given a wonderful barbecue on the beach on New Year's Eve. All-in-all. we felt very spoiled in what was an excellent value-for-money experience. We definitely aim to visit again.

Nothing for the price.

Secluded, peaceful and relaxing. We loved the cottages. The room was large with great ocean view. The hot water and A C worked. The staff was very friendly and helpful The food was delicious. We enjoyed every minute of it and hated to leave.

It was a little far from the main road. The road was not paved. But once you got to the hotel, the scenery was amazing and it was well worth it.

The bungalows are maybe a bit older - but: What a wonderful place! Palmtrees everywhere, so much space, the sea directly in front of the bungalows, 2-3 restaurants very close and a nice pool - what a dream, we loved it there! If you are searching for a relaxed place without tourism, you're right here! And: Thanks to friendly Mahesh who helped us with everything!

We planned to stay at Helios for only two nights. However after soaking in the chill atmosphere of the beach and the comfortably sized and furnished bungalows we extended to a total of 5 nights. Claudia was a very welcoming host and we a an absolute blast with MAHESH who works there. He is not only barkeeper and and concierge he also entertained us und looked after our every need. Thanks :)

Everything was satisfactory

Amazing place Staff is always helpful and with smile. Hotel is in front of the long beach in the quite area. The room and property were nice and clean. It was calm too. we were able to get sunbeds without usual competition. I love the sea view , location, foods and privacy of the sea view bungalow. Highly recommend . Also price was really good for what I got. thanks a lot for the nice evening. !

Helios Beach Resort in Tangalle, Sri Lanka, offers a serene and picturesque beachfront experience. Guests have praised its beautiful sandy private beach, calming breezes, and relaxing atmosphere.

The staff is amazing. It's right at the beach and the pool is huge and up to 3m deep. There are nice sunbeds with roof where you can spend the day reading.The room was cozy and the bed was one of the largest we ever had. It was over 2m 2.10 - 2.20m!! The breakfast was amazing and much more than you could eat!

Very exotic place. Your stay is 40 meters from the ocean beach. Very quite place clean air

Need refurbishment of the resort.
