The Frangipani Tree by Edwards Collection

We stayed at the Frangapani for 3 nights at the end of our holiday in Sri Lanka. We stayed in several similar boutique hotels - this one was the most expensive but also the most disappointing. Everything was average, nothing special. The pool and grounds were nice and there was a lovely beach, however it was filled with rubbish which spoiled the view and it wasn’t nice to walk along. There was no atmosphere or special touches. The price we paid really did not reflect in the amenities, service or general experience.

We stayed at the Frangipani Tree for 9 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were very helpful even before we arrived, helping to book a car from the airport. It is a two hour drive form the airport but the roads are very good and there is lots to look at on the way. On arrival you can relax with a drink and admire the scenery. The site is not large, it is based on 9 lodge type rooms around a pool and a few metres from the beach and behind a wall and gatehouse to separate it from the road. There is a bar/restaurant as well. The room was large, the bed was large and very comfortable and had a mosquito net around the bed but we didn’t find insects much of a problem here. The bathroom was large and had a bath and a rain shower with hot water at any time. There was nice smelling shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The air con was brilliant. The room we had was concrete based, but it was tastefully decorated and was comfortable with a lounge area, desk and table. There were two wardrobes, a safe and a fridge. No TV and the internet was sketchy so get a Sri Lankan SIM for your phone data if you will miss these. We did a lot of reading and playing games so didn’t notice the lack of TV. It was nice to not watch the news. Bottled water is topped up regularly. The food is wonderful. You will not have food from a freezer and microwave, it has to be ordered in good time which you get used to. Food is made in the kitchens to a high standard. Breakfast is huge and we

We loved our stay here. Our accommodation was superb and the staff were even better. The proximity to the small beach is the most striking feature with the glorious Indian Ocean constantly breaking waves within yards. As others have said you can’t swim off this beach due to the rocks but it’s fantastic nonetheless. The internet at the property is a bit patchy and our room had no tv but it took us until day 3 to realise this, which says it all. Special mention to the staff who were constantly smiling, helpful and professional.

It is a lovely property with lovely, helpful staff. The views of the ocean are breathtaking, and the excellent service made for a wonderful stay.

The hotel is stunning, quiet and very private. The rooms were fantastic, with two rooms alone in one building for my family, opening out to the sea. Yet what stood out was the absolutely sensational service. Sampath and Sanjeewa were among the best we've ever seen, always remembering our requests. Attentive, and on the ball, nothing was too much for them. They are so organised and on top of everything. The other staff are also brilliant, with the service always fast, and polite. Pasindu showed some great skills with the football when entertaining our kids. Everyone there was great with the kids and they absolutely loved the stay and were so sad to leave. The gentleman who cleaned the pool and the beach was amazing also. We enjoyed the new year celebrations a great deal. We recommend this property wholeheartedly and hope to go back soon. Thanks again to Sampath for arranging everything so well. Can't wait to go back. The breakfast was absolutely incredible

Thank you team Frangipani for making my son's wedding so memorable . From Mr Nishitha( from the Management) ,to Mr Fernando and to Mr Sampath and his team everyone ensured that all the guests felt welcomed. The Frangipani Tree is a beautiful place for a quiet getaway with family and loved ones. The property is beautiful and blends into the Indian Ocean. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. The hospitality won my heart.
