Pros:

был бассейн, хороший дизайн

Cons:

очень уставший отель, ночью в номер через потолок пытались забраться крысы, тревожно было спать, также странные махинации с просьбой отменить бронь на букинге и переселение в другой отель

Pros:

Персонал очень вежливый, быстро реагировал на любые проблемы. До пляжа 3 минуты - идеально.

Cons:

Вай фай почти не работал. У меня были важные видео встречи онлайн, но вайфай вообще не тянул. Даже обычную почту я не мог открывать и читать. В итоге пришлось местную симку купить, но и она слабо работала.

Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt, in einer netten kleinen Hotelanlage mit freundlichem Personal.
Pros:

Frühstück war sehr gut. Die Hotelanlage war gespflegt und idyllisch. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Jeden Tag gab es kostenlos Wasser für uns.

Cons:

Das Hotelzimmer hätte etwas sauberer sein können. Sessel war dreckig. Waschbecken war nicht sauber beim Check in. Die AC war ziemlich laut.

Pros:

Epic Unawatuna was amazing, but what made it great was Pasindu. He gave us his number, helped us with everything we needed, and made our stay unforgettable. Absolute legend – thank you, Pasindu! 🙌

Fijne plek
Pros:

Wat een waanzinnig grote kamer! Van buiten lijkt het allemaal redelijk klassiek maar de kamers zeer modern en van alles voorzien.
Personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Tharusha, die ons welkom heette, was zeer gastvrij.

Cons:

De bedden zijn groot maar matrassen zijn wat doorgezakt.
Strand is dichtbij maar niet al te schoon.

Meer van verwacht gezien de prijs.
Pros:

De ligging was wel goed, op korte loopafstand van Unawatuna beach

Cons:

De prijs is veel te duur voor wat je krijgt. Alles is gedateerd en er lijkt niks meer in geïnvesteerd te worden. Schimmel in verschillende kamers, airco’s die herrie maken alsof er een vrachtwagen stationair loopt naast je bed, karig ontbijt, een dakgoot die lekt, enz

Bona opció si està a bon preu
Pros:

Ben ubicat. Té un jardí i un espai molt maco. Habitacions espaioses i comodes. El personal és molt atent.

Cons:

L’habitació que ens va tocar era a sobre de la cuina i el menjador que tenen, i es sentia molt de soroll. Una mica car pel que realment era.

Kompakti hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla
Pros:

Mukava ja avulias henkilökunta, erityisesti pomo Tarusha oli mukava.

Cons:

Toisessa huoneessamme oli tunkkainen, epämiellyttävä haju. Mainitsimme tästä ja saimme heti uuden huoneen

Pros:

Персонал приветливый, внимательный, видно, что стараются. Номер чистый, убирались каждый день. На завтрак вкусные панкейки. Выдают пляжные полотенца всегда чистые. Частые гости семья обезьянок, добавили эмоции своим визитом)
Рядом пляж, алкомаркет и фруктовая лавка.
Рекомендую однозначно!
