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.
