We had a wonderful time and the highlight of the stay was watching the sunset from the infinity pool. The rooms were spacious with a super comfy bed and pillows. The buffet breakfast and evening meal were plentiful and tasty. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The manager was always available and so kind. All the bar staff were delightful. Mahinda, Ashoka, Kaveesha, Sumithra, Jinuka. Thanks for a fabulous trip.

The towel had not been changed. I requested a change but received no response. I asked again and it was eventually changed. There were numerous gaps around the balcony door, allowing mosquitoes to enter the room. I requested mosquito repellent and received it, but it proved ineffective. Even whilst sleeping, mosquitoes flew around my face, causing discomfort. Access to the beach was poor.

Had an amazing stay with super friendly staff who were really helpful with recommendations for things to do around Unawatuna and a very generous driver who was able to take us around Galle during our short stay here. The breakfast was delicious with a large variety of foods from authentic Sri Lankan cuisine to western dishes as well. 10/10 reccommend :)

The check-in for this property is very problematic. Note that their credit card reader doesn’t always work. And they are very lucky if you try to pay with cash about the condition of your bills. The slightest crease on a bill and they won’t take it. This makes paying for the property difficult and a completely unnecessary headache.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Had to wait over an hour past posted check in time. Was told some story about the AC, but, seems it was housekeeping as the floors were wet when we finally checked in. Room was run down..biggest issue was that neither of the two showers drained properly. In fact, sewage came up and created an offensive odor. This was reported to the front desk and repairs were attempted, but not done properly. So, the room still smelled BAD. Also, the workman left a BIG mess. I had to go to the front desk to ask to have it cleaned. While the manager was interested in our stay, all he did was provide a late day fruit plate! No thanks. Avoid this place. It is over priced for what you get. One of my worst stays ever.

Didn’t live up to expectations

Overall disappointing, I’d say this is more 2 star, 3 at a push! Room initially had a blocked toilet, no bath or hand towels in the bathroom, 3 hangers for 2 people, warm bar on roof top bar, room condition was pretty warn, needs a good refurb, felt a bit grubby compared to other hotels we stayed in during our trip to Sri Lanka. Manager was good and helped where we needed.

Found this resort after having to move out of a complete disaster (Jungle Village by Thawthisa), what a pleasant surprise! Has the combination of being at the end of Unawatuna Beach, so feels and looks like it is out on its own, but within easy walking distance of all the beach amenities. Room with a great sea & sunset view. Two beautiful pools & great breakfast, a lovely stay overall.

Dejligt hotel - mørkt værelse

Fint hotel - der dog ikke lever helt op til 5 stjerner. Vi bookede en suite med to soveværelser, men ville gerne have været informerede om at der ikke var udsigt og stort set ingen vinduer. Rummet i sig selv var fint - stort i to etager med dejlige senge og fine møbler. Restauranten er ok og servicen er helt i top. Du kan ikke bade i havet foran pga. klipper, men hotellet tilbyder en gratis shuttle til stranden. De to pools er fine og baren på 3. sal har en fantastisk udsigt. Så alt i alt et fint ophold. Ville dog aldrig vælge det samme værelse igen - det bliver for indelukket.

Nice property right by the beach in a secluded area. Everything is pretty clean and we were attended to all the time. The room was spacious and a baby cot was ready for us as per our request. It's an excellent product and the rate, though a bit expensive for Sri Lanka's cost of life, is in line with the services and amenities. It's not a big hotel chain of course but the staff are friendly, courteous and genuinely happy. There are a few things to improve here and there but these are minor points. Highly recommandable.
