Pros:

Фантастически красивая вилла с необычным дизайном.
До моря 2-3 минуты пешком, до главной торговой улицы - минут 5-7 пешком.
Очень добрые и отзывчивые сотрудники и особая благодарность за оказанное внимание владельцу виллы🤝
На вилле есть генератор, так что отключения электроэнергии не страшны (весь посёлок во тьме, кроме нас).
Завтрак - небольшой (учитывая размер виллы) шведский стол, каждый день новое, включая свежие и сладкие фрукты. Кофе из профессиональной кофемашины, включая молочные: латте, капучино.
В общем, если хотите жить на самой красивой вилле в Унаватуне - вам сюда👌

Great stay, highly recommend
Pros:

Owner Sumit personally welcomed us to the property, room was clean and comfortable in a beautiful property. Fantastic spread for breakfast daily and Sumit was always on hand to help with anything we needed. 1 minute walk to the beach and restaurants so very convenient.

Спокойный отдых на вилле 🌿
Pros:

Чудесная вилла, расположение шикарное, пляж через дорогу. Рядом местные магазинчики, главная улочка Унаватуны в пешей доступности.

Отдельно отмечу персонал. Помогают со всеми вопросами, если надо куда-то отвезти, помогают добраться.

Очень тихо и спокойно. Бассейн идеально подходит для деток.

Безопасно! На окнах решетки,что хорошо. На территории есть камеры и охрана.

Кондиционер в номере есть, интернет работает идеально, грузит и фильмы, и звонки. Никаких проблем.

Благодарю это место за чудесный прием🪷🙏🏻

Cons:

Ребенку не совсем было что кушать на завтрак, но это особенность острова, еда своеобразная.

Комнатки совсем небольшие, мы жили с дочкой вдвоем, в целом ок. Но если два взрослых, возможно, будет не хватать пространства.

Рекомендую всем
Pros:

Отдых в этой гостинице оставил самые приятные впечатления. Очень удобное расположение — буквально несколько минут до пляжа, поэтому можно в любое время наслаждаться морем и прогулками по берегу.

В гостинице царит по-настоящему домашняя и уютная атмосфера. Чувствуешь себя не просто гостем, а как будто приехал в гости к хорошим друзьям. Персонал очень приветливый, внимательный и всегда готов помочь — благодаря этому отдых становится ещё более комфортным.

Номера чистые и аккуратные, всё необходимое для проживания есть. Отдельно хочется отметить спокойную и приятную обстановку, которая отлично подходит для отдыха и восстановления сил.

С удовольствием остановлюсь здесь снова и с уверенностью могу рекомендовать эту гостиницу всем, кто ищет уютное место рядом с пляжем и тёплый, душевный приём.

Fabulous small hotel perfect for our visit to Unawatuna
Pros:

We had a fabulous stay at Ridee Villa. The team looking after us were kind and friendly, we felt very much at home from the moment we arrived.
I had a massage during my stay which was amazing!
We were particularly impressed in how the staff went above and beyond when our daughter got sick, taking us twice to a local medical centre.
Besides that, the breakfast was great and we loved the pool. Super close to the beach and lots of restaurants and shops. Would recommend to anyone visiting Unawatuna!

Cons:

The tiles around the pool weren’t non slip so my daughter had a couple of falls but this was minor in the scheme of things!

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at Ridee Villa! The owner and staff were friendly, helpful and hard working! The owner had said to make ourselves at home while staying there and it really did seem like a home away from home! We were greeted with cool hand towels and a cold beverage. The breakfast was delicious and a tasty variety of dishes were provided each day! Plus, the option of a made to order omelette.
The Villa is on a busy road near shops and restaurants, steps from the beach, but it feels like a secluded little oasis, with beautiful gardens to wonder, coy fish, several little sitting areas to relax in and a gorgeous pool area! There are two kitchen areas to make coffee, tea or a snack. We were so happy to have a water cooler to fill up our water bottles, instead of using numerous plastic disposable bottles.
We had a spacious, comfortable room with a large bathroom, with lots of hot water. The decor was tastefully done, with attention to detail everywhere you looked. We would love to stay there again. Thank you for your hospitality !

Cons:

Nothing!

Beautiful stay and beach in Feb
Pros:

The hotel is very pretty and the staff is courteous. They have a very good buffet breakfast so make sure you take that option. Very close to the beach and provide tours if you are interested

Cons:

After having traveled across sri lanka, I think the room price is a little high. Granted there are free tours and excellent facilities but the room size and the general small boutique villa outlook makes it slightly expensive for the price. I was willing to pay it but others might not be

Fantastic Quirky Boutique Hotel
Pros:

All the staff were amazing. You were met with a cold towel, a drink and a welcome sign. The owner was so lovely he arranged for us to go to Galle in his Landrover and also to Turtle Beach. The pool was lovely and peaceful. The breakfasts were very good with an ever changing selection each day and an egg station. The artwork is fantastic and so much effort has been put out in to making this a very special boutique hotel. We had 2 VIP rooms which gave us access to a full kitchen and our own balcony area. The owner has pet squirrels which is lovely and great fun as they are little characters. The beach is just the other side of the road with loads of beach bars, restaurants etc so very convenient.

Cons:

It was right on the main road which was very noisy so as others have suggested get a room at the rear off the property.

Amazing stay at Villa Ridee
Pros:

We had a great stay at Ridee Villa. From the moment we arrived we received the warmest greeting from Sumith and his team, they gave us a welcome drink, cold towels and flowers. They really know how to provide great service and all the small touches like providing beach and pool towels, free sightseeing tours in their Land Rover and a warm welcome each morning at breakfast. Breakfast was excellent and we loved having eggs/omelettes made for us. Location was perfect for exploring the South Coast (beach across the road) and there are lots of restaurants nearby. Highly recommend 😁

Cons:

I genuinely have nothing I didn’t like.

Pros:

Although we had to cancel our booking that we did personally, the manager and his staff showed a kind understanding and invited us for a fresh juice. They walked us through the property and it looked a high level boutique hotel with a huge personal feels like home touch. I especially valued that they maxed the potential of its colonial style so tge guest could feel like a traveller a century ago.

Cons:

We were sorry for we could not spend more time here.
