Pros:

Personalet var meget hjælpsom og venlig, vi havde et stort værelse, aircondition i orden. Rengøring var i orden. Hotellet ligger i centrum og ved stranden. Altid kold øl i baren.

Cons:

Vi har oplevet MEGET! høj musik fra nabo-hotel. Vi har klaget over det... Personalet fra vores hotel har ringet til det andet hotel, men larmen stoppede først kl 1.00. Vi har ikke noget imod musik på stranden og er klar over at det er en turist område men det var mega højt. Personalet på stranden burde måske rydde lidt op og fjerne affald i stedet for gå og snakke, så ville det se mere indbyndne ud.
Morgenmad er i form af buffet. Meget ensformig og kedelig ikke så stor udvalg. Man få kaffegrums i kaffen ..

Superb hotel in the heart of Unawatuna
Pros:

The deluxe family room was fabulous for our family of four, with plenty of space. Views from the balcony were lovely. Great location on the beach with no end of cafes, restaurants and shops within walking distance. Would love to return!

Cons:

We had to ask for extra toilet paper a couple of times - we would have appreciated a few extra rolls in the bathroom for a week-long stay.

Pros:

Tolle Unterkunft direkt am Strand. Das Personal ist super bemüht und freundlich. Am Abreisetag konnten wir sogar kostenfrei ein late check-out bekommen. Gute Lage und tolle Zimmer.

Cons:

Manchmal ist es etwas warm und stickig im Badezimmer, da es keine Lüftung sondern eine Art Fenster gibt.

Sehr schöner Aufenthalt - wir können das Hotel nur empfehlen
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön, alle waren sehr freundlich und bemüht. Das Essen im Restaurant war sehr gut und die Lage am Strand traumhaft :) wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt :)

Cons:

Das WLAN hat teilweise nicht so gut funktioniert, manchmal war es beim Abendessen etwas laut mit der Musik und der Preis war etwas höher, aber noch okay.

Fabulous location and superb staff.
Pros:

Great location in Unawatuna with direct beach access. We had a spacious and comfortable room on the 3rd floor. The staff at reception and at the connecting bar/restaurant were really great throughout our stay. Very helpful friendly and approachable.

Cons:

The only downside was on 2 nights of our stay a bar near had very loud music. I appreciate this is not the Tartaruga hotels responsibility. Needed ear plugs for sleep. It was not during our whole stay.

Lovely hotel with terrible neighbours- ruined our stay
Pros:

Staff were lovely, location on the beach and close to the restaurants was excellent. Fabulous room with the best bathroom of our whole trip

Cons:

Although I feel bad for the hotel as it wasn’t their fault however the constant evening banging music was awful from the restaurant immediately next door. They also jet off random fireworks ( as in just one ) the music went on for hours and was boom boom . We couldn’t sleep and could hear it through ear plugs. Completely ruined our stay. The authorities should not allow this noise - it’s really not fair on other guests

totalt afslappende solferie
Pros:

Restaurenten var rigtig god. Gode italienske is. og så lige på stranden. Der blev spillet stille lounge musik om dagen. Hjælpsomt personale i lobbyen. Vi skulle have fat i en læge og en halv time senere havde vi en aftale.

Cons:

Nabo restaurenten larmede flere gange meget med disko dasko til kl 2 om natten meget højt. Men det har ikke noget som sådan med stedet at gøre.Så bare en oplysning hvis du er lydfølsom
