Pros:

Fine store værelser med udsigt til både pool og hav. Vi fik et værelse i stueplan med stor terrasse og direkte udgang til poolen, det var dejligt. Venligt personale og dejlig mad i restauranten.

Cons:

Der var for få parasoller ved poolen. Vi havde ved bookingen anmodet om at få to værelser ved siden af hinanden, da der ikke var familieværelser og vi var afsted med vores piger på 11 og 14 år. Dette blev til vores skuffelse ikke imødekommet og vi fik værelser meget langt fra hinanden på forskellige etager, hvilket var lidt utrygt.

Härlig pool
Pros:

Poolen och stort rum, bra frukost för både vuxna och barn. Personalen var trevliga och tillmötesgående.

Cons:

Ett stort minus är att man inte hade lagt in en mosquito plug-in i vårt rum, vilket vi hade på alla våra boenden i Sri Lanka, så första natten blev vi uppätna av mygg trots att ac och takfläkt var på. Men när vi påtalade om detta fick vi en plug-in till rummet.

Not good
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room was full of damp spots, and the photos on Booking did not match the reality at all. The hotel is completely worn down, and the staff were totally unprofessional and childish. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Very Stylish Hotel
Pros:

Beautiful sunsets which you won't get anywhere else in unawatuna. Lovely large room and very comfortable bed, good quality bedding and a large balcony. You can hear the sound of the sea against the rocks which is lovely when you're laying in bed. Staff are lovely very friendly and always happy to help

Cons:

Lack of sun umbrellas around the smaller pool. No actual beach.

Pros:

The staff were very nice and attended to every need. Very friendly staff as well and generally a very hospitable place.

Cons:

The facilities need an upgrade and general upkeep could be better. The pool water felt like it lacked chlorine and there was a bad smell coming from the ocean
