The perfect beachfront stay at such a reasonable cost with turtles at the most days.
Pros:

The location is incredible - turtles are at the beach daily right in front of the property.
Sleeping to the sound of waves is also wonderful.
The rooms are basic but very clean with air con and fans which are so nice to return to after a day on the beach.
Sun loungers at the front of the rooms are free to guests and the staff were so kind and accommodating.
Thank you Mal! We will definitely return - we love the beach house.

Cons:

We have no complaints

Pros:

Das einzige gute an dieser Unterkunft war die Lage direkt am Strand.

Cons:

Die schlechteste Unterkunft, die wir in 3 Wochen Sri Lanka hatten. Das Bad sah so aus als wäre es noch nie geputzt worden. Die „frischen“ Handtücher waren fleckig, genauso wie die Bettlaken. Überall waren Ameisen, sodass man nicht wusste, wo man die Rucksäcke hinstellen sollte. Auch eine Kakerlake hatte sich ins Badezimmer verirrt. Die Fenster waren so dreckig, dass man nicht mal vernünftig rausschauen konnte. On top of that funktionierte die Klimaanlage nicht richtig. Ich habe mich selten an einem Ort so unwohl gefühlt. Eine der teuersten Unterkünfte, die wir hatten und trotzdem die schlechteste.

Für einfaches Reisen ohne besondere Ansprüche für wenige Tage okay. Russenhochburg. Teilweise lautes und aggressives Ver
Pros:

Lage direkt am Strand und somit vor den Meeresschildkröten. Liegen am Strand. P

Cons:

Zimmerservice und Sauberkeit, es wurde nur oberflächlich gereinigt. Tassen mit alten Rändern verschmutzt. Toilette und Waschbecken Abfluss undicht. Duschvorhang sollte regelmäßig ordentlich gereinigt oder ausgetauscht werden. Kein eigenes Restaurant und der Möglichkeit wenigstens Softdrinks oder ähnliches zu kaufen.

Emplacement exceptionnel, très bon rapport qualité / prix
Pros:

Quel emplacement ! Directement sur la mer, tout près de Turtle beach et avec un balcon qui donne sur la mer. C’est un hôtel charmant, un peu dans son jus mais propre et confortable. Nous avons passé 4 nuits et nous avons vraiment été ravis d’être ici. Simple d’accès depuis Unawatuna. Les chambres sont très grandes. Et nous avons accès aux transats de l’hôtel sur la plage gratuitement.

Pros:

Travelling with kids, we honestly could not have chosen a better place to stay!

The cabana is right on the beach, and that made the experience truly special. Early mornings and late evenings felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves — peaceful, quiet, and incredibly beautiful.

We spent so much time just sitting on the balcony, soaking in the views, listening to the sound of the ocean, and simply relaxing. Falling asleep to the waves and waking up to the calm beach and soft morning light was something we’ll always remember.

One of the highlights was spotting turtles on the beach, which was an amazing experience for the kids.

This was truly one of our most memorable beach stays, and we would definitely love to come back again!

Pros:

Главная фишка этого отеля - это, конечно, локация с точки зрения пляжа и наличия бухты, где можно спокойно купаться без волн. Приветливый персонал, ответственный управляющий, тихое, спокойное, уютное, зеленое место с очень аутентичной обстановкой.

Cons:

Ооочень слабый напор воды в душе.
Слабенький wi-fi в номере.
Для такой стоимости номеров, душевую и туалет могли бы мыть как следует, хотя бы перед заселением гостей.
