Great stay at Tropical Retreat, Unawatuna.
Pros:

Its a beautiful hotel, with nice rooms. The best we had in the whole month journey in Sri Lanka. Ist situated out of the way but easy to find using a tuktuk which brings you to the beach center for a couple of hundred rupiahs only. Its clean! Its airy, with a great recention room which is open to the garden all time. You breakfast there as if in the tropical woods. On the other side is a nice swimming pool. Sitting on your balcony at night fireflies visit. Its tranquil there and the beds are very good.
Opposite this hotel is a excellent Spa for your massages which scores a 5 on tripadvisor. We did two concecutive mornings of 1 hour deep full body massages.
This hotel is a romantic place to be.

Cons:

None!

A Tropical Paradise!
Pros:

Choosing Tropical Retreat based on its stellar past reviews was a decision we're so glad we made. This villa is nothing short of amazing! The rooms were not only good but exceeded our expectations, and the spacious swimming pool added an extra layer of relaxation to our stay.

The staff at Tropical Retreat are incredibly warm and friendly. It's evident they genuinely care about their guests. We also appreciated their awareness of the current situation, making sure everything was in place and welcoming for clients post-COVID.

This has easily become one of our favourite holiday destinations in Sri Lanka. If you're looking for a tropical paradise with excellent service, look no further. Tropical Retreat has our highest recommendation!

A true treasure hotel
Pros:

The best hotel of our trip. The property is amazing, a superb colonial house surrounded by a charming tropical garden. The hotel is a few minutes walking from the beach but far from the usual tourists chaotic spot. The hotel manager and all the Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Our room was beautiful, spacious, just perfect. The breakfast was delicious and the food presentation was fantastic!

Lovely hotel stay
Pros:

Stayed here for 5 nights with my boyfriend and loved our stay!
The hotel was absolutely lovely. The staff were friendly, attentive, present and were constantly one step ahead.
Breakfast was delicious - fruit, curd and eggs - and very filling.
Our room was a good size and clean. I really enjoyed the small touches at the hotel, such as the umbrellas, torch (1 10min blackout), tissues in bedroom, fridge and mosquito plug and net.
Lovely pool and good Location -30 min walk or 5 min tuk tuk (LKR300) to beach.
Small hotel so very quiet and private like you have it to yourself. Only saw another room at breakfast twice and never had to share the pool!
Only improvement would be incorporating Sri Lankan food at breakfast.
Would recommend!

Beautiful jungle retreat
Pros:

i stayed for four nights. They have five guestrooms but I was the only guest there.
They took good care of me while I was there and even arranged for my transport to the next place I was visiting. Thumbs up! If you are looking for total privacy beside from the monkeys in the treetops, this is the spot!
