Really enjoyed the place
Pros:

Great location by the sea and very nice garden where you can sit, drink, eat, sunbath, have a shower after swimming.
Spacious rooms with a balcony, first floor, or a small patio, ground floor. Decent food at the restaurant.
Very helpful staff. Totally safe place.

Cons:

Rooms are really spacious, with a whole glass wall, but not a proper window you can open; just the door. Not the best choice made by the architect. It’s not so good for rooms on the ground floor.

Pros:

We had a great stay at Dalawella Beach Resort over New Year’s. The traditional Sri Lankan food and oil candle ceremony on January 1st were a beautiful experience.
The staff was incredibly kind, but Rumesh deserves a special mention — he is our favorite person we met in Sri Lanka. He was extremely attentive to our needs, especially regarding my dietary restrictions, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. He even served me several dishes prepared by his own family, which made the experience feel very personal and heartfelt.
On our last night, we were incredibly lucky to witness turtles laying their eggs on the beach. Even though it was after 11 PM, the hotel staff knocked on our door to invite us to the beach to see this spectacular and unforgettable moment.
We felt truly welcomed and would highly recommend this place.

Great place
Pros:

The hotel is ideally located in Unawatuna making it easy to access Galle -Colombo Main road and the beach.

The check-in process was smooth-and the staff was friendly and helpfulI. was able to check in/check out with no issues, and the staff provided me with all the information I needed.

My room was clean and particularly enjoyed the sea view .However the dialog tv did not work. Restaurant and their foods were so delicious.

Delicious food
Pros:

This hidden gem in the heart of Unawatuna is nothing short of spectacular. From breathtaking views to exquisite cuisine and comfortable accommodations, every detail is impeccable. We indulged in the finest seafood in town, where both presentation and flavor were simply outstanding. Our experience was truly unforgettable, and we cannot wait to return.

Cons:

Wish there was a pool

A beautiful sunset
Pros:

The property has beach access, and I really enjoy the laid-back, relaxed atmosphere. It's not as busy as other hotels in the area, which I appreciate. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Most importantly, what I enjoyed most about my stay was the magnificent sunset. This place is highly underrated for the view it offers

Cons:

Nothing particularly.

Perfect resort for a chilled vacation.
Pros:

I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s a five minute tuk tuk ride into Unawatuna bazaar if you want to visit the shops, restaurants there but yet not as touristy. The beach infront of the htoel is lovely, and you can walk 5 mins either way to see Frog rock, or Turtle beach. The hotel was clean and the food was great. The manager – Rumesh – was very kind and attentive. He helped us with every single request and made suggestions for where we could go for food or shopping etc. We noticed repeat guests that have stayed here multiple times

Cons:

Breakfast could have been better.

Bad
Cons:

The worst experience i ever had in an hotel everything was bad. Room was not clean everywhere bugs and the bathroom was so disgusting as the photos i have uploaded. We paid above 23000LKR for the room and we had the dinner which was extra charged. It was horrible and we couldn't eat. It ruined all our trip. Never recommend this place to any one.
