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.

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 :)

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.

Our stay was just as the coronavirus was breaking out. We had to return to the UK after 1 day at the hotel. I would like to praise Roshan and his team for the very efficient and friendly assistance and understanding of our specific situation during a very challenging time. We hope to return!!

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.

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.
