Tanamera Estate

10/10

Wow ! This luxuriously sprawling property has an amazing sea frontage - fab situation! The outdoor sitting and dining pavilion allows you to spend many happy hours at the pool without getting burnt. The sumptuous bedrooms oozes comfort and we had the best nights’ sleep. (it was hard to choose between the bedrooms) and there is a further TV / Study room - all beautifully done up with a great selection of DVDs . There is a further cozy dining room in the event of a tropical storm ( which we missed ) . The property is meant for 6 persons but the size allows everyone their own space and also to come together for meals. The staff are gentle and instinctive and nothing is too much trouble. It is the perfect getaway and hideaway without having to be somewhere remote. It is certainly value for money and we cannot wait to be back.

We had such a lovely stay at Tanamera. It is classic, very private, stylishly kept for great comfort with breath-taking views of the ocean right in front and never ending waves. The staff were very helpful and kept the place very pristine. A luxurious vacation that lingers on in one’s memory to go back.

We were booked into Tanamera Estate for two nights. Four of us had been on a fairly intensive tour of the highlights of Sri Lanka and were in severe need of some chill time - which we certainly received. We arrived after a long drive from the hill country, and were greeted with ice cold lime sodas, exactly what was needed, although I did follow it up with an ice cold Lion beer. The staff were unobtrusive but had the knack of being present whenever we needed anything, sometimes even before we knew we needed it!. The two main bedrooms are huge with enormous beds, and had all that we could require. The food was delicious - Sri Lankan curry and rice on the first night, and a Japanese selection on the second night. The breakfasts served on the verandah were far more than adequate, and also very tasty. We were left alone (apart from the security staff) later in the evening, but were shown where to find the beer and wine. The sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep, and the sea views in the morning are spectacular. The pool is delightful. I guess this must be what it feels like to be royalty and have your every whim catered to.
