Everything was just amazing! My partner and I were the only guests for 4 days. We got the half-board package which included breakfast and dinner. We are vegan and the chef accommodated us very easily -- and the food was amazing! The room view is stunning. The shower is really good. The bed is super comfortable. We barely stayed in the room because staying by the pool was much better. Since we were the only guests, we could take the wifi/modem with us to the room at night and then back again to the pool area. So we had absolutely no problem with internet connection like others reported here. The place is quiet and isolated. Good restaurants are about 15-30min drive with a tuk tuk, which the hotel will arrange for you whenever you want -- visit Let's Sea if you have the chance; it's in Tangalle. As someone mentioned, the only type of alcoholic beverages they have is beer -- and you have to ask them a bit in advance so they put in the freezer or else it will be warm beer for you! So we brought our own alcoholic beverages (like wine) and it was fine to have it in the restaurant/pool area.

They prepered special breakfast package for our 2yo son when we had to leave early morning - pancakes and fruit salad

Place have a serious problem with ants - they were everywhere - We couldnt leave any food in the room because ants were on the food in about 20 min. They even laid eggs in my eye drops and I had to throw them out. I had to disinfect whole toiletry bag because of it.

The food was incredible, the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. They arranged numerous day trips for us and the hotel was so gorgeous as was the beach

The room was amazing! Was exactly like the pictures. Very comfortable bed, amazing bathroom and spacious room. The breakfast was good as well. Plenty of food and a nice variation. The pool was fine too and since there are not too many rooms the common areas were not too busy. Excellent service.

The Wifi was barely working in the common areas and not at all in the room. There was also not really any atmosphere. The common areas were very basic. That's why we thought it was not really worth the price. You can get much nicer looking accommodations for cheaper. But the rooms were amazing!

very beautiful villa, amazing design. the villa is on the beach. very nice staff and good food

beautiful pool side, directly at a very very long beach with no people around, so super relaxing - nice breakfast and dinner, friendly staff

excellent villa helpful stuff excellent location new stylish

wifi

The food was very good, and the staff was friendly and solicitous. Our room was spotlessly clean (including the concrete floor, which isn't always the case in some places). They allow pets and our indoor cat was very comfortable in the room. The staff even asked if they could make her something special. The swimming pool is lovely. When it rained we enjoyed the satellite tv--they have a better satellite package here versus other places we have stayed in SL.

The wi-fi was a problem the first couple of days, but this was fixed when the manager arrived and gave us a router for our room. There is no internal intercom in the rooms so it was sometimes difficult to contact staff when we wanted to order food or had a question. It rained a lot, and as a result, at night, insects swarmed the outdoor lights and beetles found their way under the door into the room. A door sweep/gasket/seal would address this issue. This is a small detail, but we have found it is a very Sri Lankan thing to not put an extra roll of loo paper in the bathroom, requiring guests to ask for more when every place outside SL would already have it in the bathroom. It's annoying, to say the least.

We had a great time at Serendivi. This place is about 30 min drive from the centre of Tangalle, so a little out the way, but the benefit is that there is peace and quiet here. Rooms are well equipped and bathroom is finished to a high spec and design detail, we loved the rain shower. The location is stunning, the sand is fine and clean. The beach is very wide too. There isn’t much to do in the area, but the hotel serves fantastic food, so there is no need to venture out. We recommend the seafood platter, but you must order in advance to make sure chefs get chance to source all ingredients during the day. They offer free bike hire too, we cycled to the nearest village - it’s so safe on the roads here, very quiet, hardly any cars or tuk tuks. Staff are really looking after you here, from chefs to the main reception, nothing was too much trouble. We’ve been able to check in early and check out late.

I made a recommendation before we left to invest in a filtered water system to reduce plastic waste. We stayed in other boutique and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka and it’s common to offer filtered drinking water supply instead of plastic bottles. The room wasn’t made up on the first night, so we had to ask for toiletries refills twice, as shower gel comes in quite a small bottle. It would be nice to have a stack of clean beach towels outside, so we could help ourselves.

This property is one of a kind. One of the most uniquely designed properties I have ever seen. Wish I could have stayed for longer as everything about this property was so lovely. The rooms were spacious with a balcony with direct sea view. The bed was so comfortable. The food was very tasty and we could not stop eating :D

A perfect hideaway from noisy, crowded beaches and over-tourism. Fantastic staff, excellent food, just a great spot. Thank you all @Serendivi!
