Pros:

The hotel had nice architectural features. Rooms were a good size with strong AC and wifi. Staff were friendly and a short walk to the beach and local amenities Breakfast provided was also a generous offering with good choices.

Cons:

The hotel does not have many facilities on-site for things to do. It has some lounge chairs in the centre for sun-lounging but not much else. However, the location means that the beach and local town are walking distance.

Veel te duur voor wat je krijgt.
Pros:

Locatie was goed, de kamer was ruim.

Cons:

Schimmel op de kamer in de badkamer. Bedden waren slecht. Ontbijt was karig en ingewikkeldwaar je uit kon kiezene wat je krijgt, je kon maar 1 eitje krijgen. Als je om nog 1 vroeg kreeg je dat niet.
Erg dure accommodatie voor wat je krijgt.
Zou er zeker niet terug gaan. De hele dag harde housemuziek wordt er afgespeeld bij de bar. Er zit helemaal niemand. Totaal niet uitnodigend.

Herrliche Ferienwoche
Pros:

Das ganze Personal war überaus freundlich und hat uns jeden Wunsch erfüllt.Sie haben nur für uns- 2 Schweizerinnen eine Kochdemonstration im Garten durchgeführt.
Die Küche hat uns jeden Wunsch erfüllt und alles haben gestrahlt.

Cons:

Die anderen Gäste- alles Russen- waren unfreundlich und rücksichtslos, auch dem Personal gegenüber.
Das Überqueren der Strasse zum Meer war gefährlich.

Pros:

Отель не новый и можно конечно придраться к мелочам, но все перекрывает атмосфера отеля. Администратор Таруша всячески готов помочь.

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.

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.

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! 🙌

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.

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
