Pros:

Posizione comoda per girare tra i negozietti di unawatuna.

Cons:

Nella nostra stanza c’era della muffa e alcune formiche sulla scrivania. In tutta la struttura c’erano molte zanzare e la colazione era scadente. Se fosse più curata sarebbe davvero bella.

Ottima posizione ma qualcosa da migliorare
Pros:

Ho apprezzato molto la posizione. L'hotel si trova proprio sulla spiaggia e allo stesso tempo nel centro di Unawatuna. Il cibo è ottimo. Il personale è molto gentile.

Cons:

Purtroppo la mia camera era molto vicina alla reception quindi di notte sentivo tutti i rumori provenienti da lì, soprattutto il volume alto del televisore o dei video sul telefono di chi si occupava di quello spazio nelle ore notturne. In più, la stanza dava su un cantiere con lavori in corso quindi durante la giornata c'erano sempre rumori. Dalla spiaggia però questi rumori non si sentono. Un altro aspetto non negativo ma che voglio segnalare è la presenza costante dei venditori di vestiti, oggetti e cocco sulla spiaggia. Ho avuto l'impressione che stiano fissi lì e non vadano in giro presso gli altri hotel della spiaggia. Non sono fastidiosi ma all quarta volta che mi si vieni a chiedere se voglio comprare può risultare pesante, tanto più che in bassa stagione eravamo pochissime persone. Altra cosa migliorabile (che vale per tutto lo Sri Lanka) è il continuo chiedere "Va tutto bene?" agli ospiti mentre mangiano. Capisco una volta ma poi vorrei mangiare in pace. Non è un grande problema ma può dare fastidio.

The buffet breakfast was great and the breakfast chef. There seemed to be a lot of staff loitering but not accommodating
Pros:

Close to the main strip of Unawatuna for the shops and cafes.

Cons:

The attitude of the staff and lack of accommodating.
