The photos of this property LOOK okay but in real life, this place is sort of falling apart. You can’t swim in the beach as the water is too dangerous and choppy. The room we stayed in did not have a balcony door that sealed properly, so we had to switch rooms. The eating/ lounge area was very bare bones. For me, the stay would have been all right, had they not used photos likely from when this hotel first opened, when it was in tip top condition. We had a hot tub that we didn’t even feel like using, being the sealant looked cracked and gross and it just didn’t appear as clean as it did in the photos the hotel has shared with Expedia. We would never ever stay here again.

One of few hotels with its almost private beach. Boutique but a little rough around the edges - so what if nothing is perfect - this isn’t Maldives. Great food, really friendly staff. No loud music and respectful guests. They are offering a great product, that’s why guests return. Easy tuktuk to busier area and boats to take you elsewhere. We were genuinely sad to leave.

Had a brilliant time at Cocobay over Christmas and New Year. Enjoyed it so much, we stayed some extra days. Private beach is a small piece of heaven and i swam to jungle beach (about a mile) and that was super fun too. (can get a short rickshaw ride or walk also). Food was great, Sri Lankan or international cuisine available. Stayed in two different rooms and both great, clean and with sea and palm tree views. Going to Unawatuna which is great but always happy to come back. Special thanks to Pradeep, Dilan and Dinesha and the whole team for making our stay so good.

Great little find

This is a lvoely hotel, nocer than oics may suggest. Its pretty small, so staff get to know you and are very friendly. Not a lot in immediate vicinity, but Galle fort and Unawatuna town are a very short tuk tuk ride away. Beach and rooms all have amazing views across the bay to Galle Fort - sundown cocktails are a highlight here

All the staff and customer service at Cocobay Unawatuna were superb. They looked after me and my family and were accomodating on our arrival. The staff at the La Mer restaurant were also really friendly and accomodating to our needs. The location of the hotel is right next to Jungle Beach and very close to the beautiful Galle Fort by tuk tuk. Highly recommended for anyone looking to stay near Galle/Unawatuna!
