    Brilliant location right on the seafront. Own private turtle viewing from the beach in front of the room. Very friendly staff & substantial breakfast.

    Given the price we paid for the accommodation we were very impressed! The rooms were good, it was right on the beach in a good location and the staff were fantastic and made us a decent breakfast! I'd recommend it if you're traveling on a budget!

    Very relaxing stay on a private section of beach a short walk from the main area. Excellent breakfast each morning and special mention to Tharuk who was always most helpful.

    Breakfast was excellent. The hotel has its own little beach which made for a lovely view at breakfast and at sunset. About 20mins walk to Dalawella and Unawatuna beaches and main restaurants. Powerful and hot shower. Tharuk was welcoming and a very good host, he was very helpful with finding out transportation times for me. Bus stop within a matter of seconds from the property.

    The room I was in was facing the main road and was very noisy, particularly at night.

    Right next to a small beach but very basic place. Front doubles would be a better position as the rooms at the back very noisy as by the road. Breakfast good. Young lad friendly .

    Expensive for a place so basic. Rooms at the back very noisy with road traffic all night. Much better places around, though wouldn't come back to unawatuna, much much better beaches elsewhere.

    This is a lovely place right on the beach. We had a peaceful stay and wish it could have been longer! We were in room 1 which was very spacious and it’s helpful to have a fridge. We enjoyed breakfast, particularly the fruit juices every morning and you just can’t beat the view! The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. The manager (sorry, can’t recall name) and Tharuk were always smiley and happy to help.

    The food provided was good and the view and the beach was excellent. We were served by a lovely young lad named Tharuk who provided excellent service.

    Service and breakfast was very good. The view and the location is excellent.

    Room was kind of old and the whole house looks like a cheap guesthouse.

    This is a little private piece of paradise away from the hustle and bustle (but still close). Staff were so lovely and helpful, we especially appreciate Turak preparing our breakfast every morning and always smiling :) The room is romantic, and is quite literally on the beach! We enjoyed our private sunsets, swims and breakfast. The accomodation isn’t boastful and lavish, but is a humble island escape. Amazing value for money, would recommend to anyone!

    Nothing! It was amazing value.

    The room is very basic but has an amazing view of the ocean. Breakfast is fantastic and having it in front of the sea is a plus. Recommended

    Right on a beautiful beach which felt like it was private. We saw turtles! Very kind staff including the younger man ( I forget his name, I think it was Barack) who was so sweet and helpful. Delicious breakfast!

    Our room was at the back ( which we were fine with) but it was quite noisy as it was on the main road with cars and tuk tuks all night. As the main road runs along the beach, this would probably happen in most hotels along the beach.

    It was amazing!! The room was overlooking the sea and literally on the beach! I had been craving a room with a view and this was it!! Clean, comfortable room with fridge, A/c, and plenty of hot water with a great overhead shower. Staff were so friendly and provided a plentiful breakfast.

    The entrance was very dubious and I wondered if we had made a huge mistake! Looks can be deceiving!

    Fantastic, charming location, peace and quiet of a secluded beach yet not far from restaurants. Welcoming staff.
