We stayed for 10 days and this hotel was perfect. Two pools, never too crowded, well maintained. Public areas and rooms very clean. Room had a great balcony, lovely sunset view. The staff are brilliant, so welcoming, helpful, always cheerful. We only used the restaurant twice and the food was good both times. It’s 10 min walk down to Unawatuna beach, 15 min tuk tuk to Jungle beach. Unawatuna has lots of food options and shops but there are also some great places to eat within a few mins walk of the hotel.

Great hotel but not 5*

The hotel itself is lovely and the staff are extremely attentive and friendly. The pool is great and there is a free shuttle to the beach. However the room is quite shabby and dated, the bathroom is more that of a 3 star hotel definitely not 5* Could do with a deep clean! Beds were comfortable

The room was fabulous.. the staff were attentive and helpful..specially the main holder gentlemen that was managing the reception. The property is away from the happening main street which is good if you wanted to have a good night sleep. Unfortunately the first night was the opening night for they restaurant next door and the opening party was very loud but we stayed a few more days in the hotel and the flowing nights were quiet and peaceful.. I would recommend this hotel and Unawatuna to everyone..

Amazing view and Comfort to the maximum!

It seems like a recently opened hotel, with some little improvements, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the hotel. Stunning view of the pool and the sea with a beautiful sun set. Private beach was a added advantage where you can just lay on the beach beds with no disturbance in complete privacy, which you dont get in the public beach in Unawatuna. Loved our stay and will definitely return!

This hotel is dated and not like the pictures. -the breakfast is good and staff are nice but otherwise I’d avoid. Our door lock broke and despite advising reception of the issue they failed to fix it and we had to put a chair against the door all night - wasn’t dealt with prior to check out. Dirty dated hotel

Tania

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
We had a one night stay and were kept awake most of the night due to loud external noise (from 1.30am - 6am) and whilst acknowledging that this isn’t directly the hotels fault, there was no one in the lobby to help with the issue at hand (no overnight staff) which left myself and various other guests stuck with no one to contact and no help. This was particularly difficult as our group included a child and elderly guests. The follow-up was equally disappointing, with the hotel on the day apologising and accepting they could have done more, but since refusing responsibility. In addition, the property itself is noticeably ageing (see pictures). Several areas felt worn, with visible signs of deterioration and broken fixtures, which detracted from the overall experience and did not match expectations for the price paid. Overall, poor handling of a serious disturbance and a tired property mean I would not stay here again or recommend it to others.
