Utmt - Underneath the Mango Tree Spa & Beach Resort

Great location, excellent seaview from the restaurant, wow, what a panorama 😃🥰🌊, great large pool for all guests and additional privat pool in our room, great cook serving great food everyday, even so we where there for ayurveda, very very friendly staff, great treatments all done by the perfect auyurveda team, incl. doctors & ayurveda staff, 🤗 and on top perfect weather even during October which should be Monsun time

Absolutely loved our stay with our two puppies. Gorgeous property. From front desk to spa to kitchen staff everyone was very friendly and attentive.

Booked a long stay here as a treat for a rubbish year and my birthday. Room minute, balcony minute, open-plan bathroom, which is also open to the elements, so having a shower in a torrential downpour is "challenging"! The rooms, bathrooms and public areas are all very dark, too, meaning to be able to see anything you need to switch on a light. This seems to contradict the eco ethos. Ayurveda so far very good and the Ayurveda area is by far the most pleasant and cleanest I have encountered in Sri Lanka. Staff are friendly and willing, but do not necessarily understand English to a high degree, which makes things a little complicated. There are only 2 usable electric sockets, one in the bathroom area, one in the bedroom, which I find totally unacceptable, even though I brought an extension lead with 3 sockets with me. Wifi is very good for Sri Lanka. Food is ok, but there is no choice and far too much, which is causing me issues. It is difficult to make people understand that I do not want 3 meals a day consisting of 3 courses - or 4 in the evening. I find it especially problematic that all this food is presented when the ayurvedic treatment involves daily laxitives! All rooms are situated in various houses with no direct access to the main reception area, Ayurveda Spa or restaurant. Umbrellas are provided and required! At the moment I get the impression that I have shelled out a lot of money for something mediocre and cannot decide whether to shell out more and leave or stick it out - hence why this review is Part 1.
