A perfect, relaxing getaway with great comfort and beautiful pools.
Pros:

I had an amazing stay at Thaproban Pavilion Resort and Spa. The rooms were very comfortable and well-maintained, and the pools were absolutely lovely—perfect for relaxing. The overall atmosphere made it feel like a peaceful and luxurious getaway.

Honestly, there wasn’t much to dislike during my short stay. Everything met my expectations and made for a very enjoyable experience.

Немного отремонтировать фасады здани было бы не плохо
Pros:

От отеля остались только приятные впечатления!!! Номер большой, чистый есть 2 соленых бассейна. До океана (пляжа) идти минут 7-10 ненапряжно. В отеле есть классный массаж. Больше всего впечатлили завтраки - такого разнообразия и кол-ва мяса не было ни в одном месте на Шри-Ланке!!!
Восторг!!

Cons:

Внешний вид отеля требует уже ремонта в некоторых местах

Nice enough staff, but the food, gym and kids play room need immediately 'health and safety' work.
Pros:

The location is nice. Close enough but far enough.

Cons:

Health hazards exist. We all got gastro from reheated buffet food. The gym and kids play room is mouldy and needs fixing urgently.

Avoid at all costs. Mold, cockroaches, terrible WiFi, food is poor, beers are warm.
Pros:

The staff were friendly. That’s it.

Cons:

The mold, the cockraoches, the terrible WiFi, the warm beverages, average food.

The took upfront payment. Wouldnt refund. We left anyway, this is a health risk of a hotel, never mind just a terrible experience.

Pleasant, calm stay in a hotel with very friendly staff and a nice breakfast.
Pros:

Nice breakfast and big room, which was quiet and clean. The location was a bit out of the way, but within walking distance to restaurants, bars/coffee shops, shops and Unawatuna beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The hotel could do with some maintenance, like some painting of the outer walls and fixing some of the wood. It was a pity the room didn't have much natural light nor a balcony, but I didn't spend much time in the room anyway, so was ok. While the breakfast was nice, some more fresh juice would have made it even nicer, especially since Sri Lanka has plenty of nice fruits.

Тихо, комфортно и уютно.
Pros:

На завтрак подают яичницу/омлет. Есть фрукты, каша, булочки, кофе и чай. Разная местная еда. Из овощей помидоры, огурцы и листья салата. Детям хлопья. В полне достаточно что бы с утра хорошо по завтракать , в течении недели выбор не менялся ( только фрукты бывали разные). Сам отель тихий, чисто и уютно. Номер был с выходом сразу на бассейн. Перебоев с водой или электричеством нет. На территории безопасно, гуляет павлин, ящерки маленькие, можно увидеть ежей морских и рыбок - очень атмосферно. Отель очень понравился, персонал очень заботливый и общительный.

Absolutely amazing!!!
Pros:

The location, the colors, the vibe, everything was amazing! We really liked our room - so so beautiful! - the breakfast was lovely too and they have a solo guitar player who is such a nice memory to us! Probably the nicest hotel I have been to with great staff too!

Cons:

They have a buggy that brings you to the beach that wasn’t working at that time when we were there, but some of the days they still managed to drop us off by car. Its a short 5-10min walk anyway.

Pros:

A really lovely property in Unawatuna. We booked the two bedroom and it was palatial and very artfully decorated. Loved the vibe and decor. Pools were lovely and the views incredible

Cons:

The door seemed quite easy to force open without a key, the dinner option was not worth the money (buffet was so/so at best) and the children's play area was in desperate need of a remodel - just seemed very tired.

Pros:

View of the water from the pool. Friendly, smiling staff. Good room cleaning.

Cons:

The price doesn't match the quality. The hotel is very outdated and dilapidated. The facade is off-putting. The wood by the pool needs refinishing. The rooms are noisy from the external air conditioning units. The pool table is falling apart, and the gym is weak and dirty.
