“Amazing nature experience walkable to great beaches and places for food and drink.”
Unique experience in the treehouse. Basic but clean, comfortable and had what you need as long as you don’t mind a cold shower. Feels like you’re staying in nature as very open to the surrounding mangroves, got woken up by monkeys jumping on the roof! Quieter beaches to the east, busier Tangalle to the west, coffee shop 30 seconds walk away. Staff friendly and helpful, remember to bring cash to pay. Great for something simple, cheap and to feel at one with nature!

“Cozy and peaceful”
The place is very cute and cozy, close to the beach but secluded for peace. The uncle of the host is very kind and gave me coconuts when I arrived and managed even a kayak trip for me in the mangrove.

“Charming tree house in a jungle”
I loved the location and I loved the vibe. You can stay in an actually tree house in a jungle with Monkeys around, ocean 2 minutes away, in a quiet place, but close to many restaurants and massage places. The balcony with armchairs was just glorious. The owner's uncle that stays on the property and looks after it is the sweetest, kindest man you can imagine.

I loved loved loved mermaid cabana. Right next to the beach and mangroves, with a wealth of beautiful wildlife! The place is so peaceful and offers unlimited tea, fruit they pick from the trees in the hotel and coconuts when available! The staff are so lovely and attentive. I was so at peace here. They also offer day long canoe trips which I reccommend so much! I loved it

“Magical tree house right next to the beach”
The Tree House was a magical place for me. I loved how it looked and felt being in the jungle right next to the beach. The Area had a lot of cute restaurants but was not too crowded. 10/10 - I would definitely come back 🌴
