A great week stay at a lovely place!

Very nice rooms and beach front location, along with being close to Galle. The hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly. The sea at the cove is very calm compared to other beaches nearby, so it was great for swimming/bathing. Taxis/tuk tuks were cheap due to being close to Galle and turtle beach. We’d recommend this hotel.

It’s great we stayed for 7 nights and loved it.

A beautiful location in a quiet private bay. Very peaceful. We loved the plunge pool attached to our room. It was cleaned throughout the day so always ready to dip in. Room was spacious bathroom huge, a little issue with the bathroom smell initially but was sorted quickly. Staff are brilliant and cannot do enough for you. Manager always checked in on us which was a lovely touch. Breakfast huge snd really good. We enjoyed 2 dinners and found the food excellent. Mini bar prices very good. Location good only a 5 minute tuk tuk to main strip and 10 minutes to Galle.

Excellent food, great room, friendly staff, and a beach just steps away

We stayed in one of the largest rooms and it was exceptional. There was plenty of storage and enough space for two extra beds without any problem. This room also had a large wardrobe where all our suitcases fit easily. The staff were very friendly. We ate all our dinners at the hotel restaurant and the food was excellent with very good quality. The beach is only a few meters from the hotel and feels almost like a private beach. Breakfast offered several options, including child-friendly choices, and the freshly baked bread was especially good.

Nice spot in Unawatuna but, compared to some of the other places we stayed in Sri Lanka, it was expensive. Nice food. Probably a nice place to stay in Unawatuna though.

This hotel is a little bit of heaven. Beautiful setting on its own private beach.

The room was amazing, overlooking the beach and with a huge bathroom. Dinner was delicious and the staff so attentive (particularly Uppal). Happy hour every day. Very quiet and peaceful place overlooking Galle. Not overcrowded and a tuktuk to Galle which was a delight.

The hotel is an oasis in amongst busy Unawantuna. Lovely staff and facilities. The room was one of deluxe rooms which was very comfortable. Easy access to Galle fort by tuk tuk or taxi, an interesting busy road to negotiate should you wish to walk which will take 20-30 minutes. The beach location is lovely, a safe beach to swim in. Great food too!

What I would especially like to highlight is the staff at the hotel restaurant. They were incredibly friendly and really made our stay very enjoyable—truly fantastic people. The rest of the staff were polite, but nothing especially memorable. The hotel is located by the sea, in a private area. However, there aren’t really any places nearby to go for a walk with the family. We had to drive either to Galle or Mirissa whenever we wanted more restaurants or similar options. On the other hand, we had a rental car, so it wasn’t a problem for us.

Worst experience bad. Just a small suggestion treat everyone equally. Your country is dependent on India so treat everyo

Just the location nothing else was good. Waiters treat Indian very badly. Only importance to people from USA and other countries.

Walking into the room gave us the WOW factor, with immaculate furnishings, looking out to a private plunge pool, which overlooked onto the beach. Plunge pool was spotlessly clean and staff constantly checked and cleaned it. Beach and water was gorgeous, and we were constantly in there swimming 😀 Staff were very attentive, friendly and professional. The masseuse was awesome and provided an amazing full body massage. Food provided in restaurant was superb, wonderful local and European options.

The perfect end to our long trip

We had a fantastic stay! Our suite was absolutely wonderful - huge, beautifully designed, and even better than the photos. The staff were all lovely, and the waiting team in particular were incredibly helpful, attentive, and friendly. The private beach was a real highlight. It’s peaceful, relaxing, and feels like the noise and busyness of the outside world simply disappear the moment you arrive. We truly felt looked after throughout our stay. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and it was the perfect end to our long trip. Highly recommend!

Good hotel to stroll around nead the unawaruna area.

The beach side location was excellent in this area, as you dont have many hotels on the beach near Unawatuna. The hotel itself is okay, jas good variety of foods in the restaurant and nice chilling area. The staff are welcoming.

good for 1 night stay over

We went in low season so there was not buffet, but the choice was ok. The room is very nicely designed, the soap they give you smells super good.
