The perfect place to begin a family holiday - excellent staff, large tranquil safe surroundings. Huge shared pool and smaller shaded pool were a big hit with our children. The food at the in-house restaurant was exceptional and reasonably priced. The large gardens make this a wonderfully restful quiet place to stay, we loved it. Beautiful original features of the Dutch governor's house have been retained - there's also an on-site spa.

We absolutely loved the location. Right on the beachfront and central of the small town with lots of restaurants and shops.
Kevin in particular was an absolute star, went above and beyond - cobstantly smiling, welcoming and all the staff couldn't do enough for us. Kiki was our favourite furry friend.
The free shuttle to use the pool at the sister Hotel was really great and an added bonus. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The place was great, we enjoyed our time here. The staff were really helpful and the waiter who served us was very attentive to our needs while also being polite, and friendly. The room was spacious and sitting on the balcony to the sounds of the jungle was a perfect relaxation activity. We didn't use the pool as we use the local beaches each day. There are two lovely beaches within walking distance.

I've been to Unawatuna 4 times/years and that beautiful place changes for worse.
There is new oversized monster-hotel, water scooters, loud music, fireworks, higher prices...
In last 2 years 90% of tourists are Russians - some restaurants are only in russian.
Most likely, I am not going back.

Unawatuna beach has beautiful water and golden sand.
Unawatuna beach has beautiful water and golden sand. The part of the beach where I visited, the ocean gets quite deep very fast, and the waves seem to cary you in quite easily. I haven't seen any lifeguards or flags that would indicate the wave's condition, but local people were very kind to give information.
If you like hiking, the city has a nice trail to a beach called Jungle beach. Trough the same trail, you can pass by the Japanese Peace Pagoda, and if you are lucky you might see monkeys and lizards. The trail is more or less 40 min one way.
The restaurants from the hotels are very much on the coast, sometimes seems to close from the beach. But the food quality is good and affordable, and lots of these restaurants offer alcohol.
I stayed one day in Unawatuna and it felt enough time to discover what the city has to offer.

Its a great beach, much busier than it used to be.
Some great places to eat, generally inland a bit so do some research.
Perfect place if you want a 15min trip into Galle which is a must.

I heard that this used to be a great beach.
I heard that this used to be a great beach. Unfortunately I do not think it is today. Very exploited and there are many beach places renting out sunbeds. They can get away with having (very) crappy toilets because there are new tourists every day, they do not need a good review.
Having dinner on the beach was a strange experience, started out good but then a large company came and occupied the space next to us, ordering champagne, oysters and lobsters like there was no tomorrow, and we were forgotten about.
There are plenty of other beaches in Sri Lanka that are much better.

Easy to get to Galle and Secret Beach.
Easy to get to Galle and Secret Beach. Lots of shopping and busyness. Much different feel to other popular spots in SL
If it's rainy season, then get out in the morning. The rain usually comes in the afternoon
The hotel was perfectly located on the beach and very close to the Main Street of Unawatuna for all the restaurants.
The staff particularly Sunil and the head waiter (sorry didn’t get his name) were amazing nothing was too much trouble for them they looked after us from putting our towels on our sunbeds, decorating our bedroom, taking our washing to the laundry. Sunil even travelling on Christmas day an hour to Mirissa to bring and necklace I had left which I was so grateful for.
The restaurant was also really good situated on the beach.
Sri Lankan people are extremely nice but sometimes people forget to write about a property and just rate by how good people are. this is an amazing place for the price! clean room, good bathroom, a closet, and AC. definitely get the room with the AC. Sheets are clean and not smelly, which was super impressed to me. the owners are such nice people - it was such a pleasure to stay with them. breakfasts are amazing and Wasanda does great laundry! everything was clean and she even ironed my clothes. highly highly recommend you staying here.
lovely setting on the beach, lovely staff who were always helpful and happy. Minor issues with room sorted out. Accidental error on departure was sorted out and we were notified before we had even reached home. The breakfast (Sri Lankan curry was delicious) Best restaurant we ate in for dinner having made an effort to try as many as possible along the beach. The hotel is a little bit tired looking but not an issue for us. The bed was very comfortable and the AC worked.
Highly recommend! I had a amazing experience at the Kingfisher Bamboo Vila; staff was incredibly helpful, and the amenities were great. The room was wonderful, clean, and perfect! Excellent property and very convenient to all the restaurants and shops.
I visited their Restaurant , Kingfisher Unawatuna Hotel. Which is a 2mins walk. Food was Excellent. Lobsters, Crab, Oysters, Etc. was fresh from the boat! Unawatuna Beach was out the world. Had a amazing time in Sri Lanka!
Highly recommend Rastha Pastha Beach Hotel for everyone! Outstanding hospitality, friendly staff, superb location a must experience stay.
Despite the ongoing crisis in the Sri Lankan government, I appreciate the hotel's unwavering commitment to providing uninterrupted services like WiFi and hot water. Thank you for maintaining a high standard during challenging times.
Beautiful hotel. The rooms were spacious, light and stylish. The rooftop pool and bar has the most incredible views and ambiance. The staff were incredibly friendly. A short 10 min walk to jungle beach (which we much preferred to unawatuna beach) its fantastic. Dinner was delicious and the sri lankan breakfast was amazing! Oh and super comfy beds and amazing shower.
The location was perfect. Right on the rocks of the ocean and the entrance to the beach is no more than 20 meters from the accommodation. The staff were always available and more than happy to assist us. We were able to store food in the fridge for our daughter as well. The view is stunning as well. Overlooking the unawatuna beach with the most magical sunsets.
perfect boutique hotel with a private beach if you want to feel the heaven on earth. staff was excellent, so helpful and always smiling. there is no music when you rest in the beach. so you get the best sunbathing and relaxing atmosphere. breakfast and dinner was awesome. the best we ate in all Sri Lanka. I would definitely visit again next time.
The hotel garden is exceptinal. I believe they are the best one in Unawatuna. The breakfast is beyond expectations. Pool is lovely for the familys, we prefer to swim in the sea. They have a private beach but maybe it may be season effect, the sea was so wavy. There are good beaches reachable by tuk tuk.
The location overlooking the water was awesome, and the small pool on the rocks was so nice to come home to. They really try to do everything for you. The breakfast was awesome, and the view that went with it couldn't be better. Good wifi, and no powercuts, which is a normal thing for Sri Lanka.
We where very happy with our stay at the Green Escape Unawatuna. The staff was sweet and helpfull, the food was great and the hotel had all you could ask for. The hotel is located in a nice area great for walking, yoga and going to the beach. We would very much recommend!
The beach is beautiful, very convenient for those who don't want to get too far. But also very close to Unawatuna beaches.
The room was excellent, with an amazing beach view, very comfortable and well equipped.
The food was really really good. I
The hotel is a little gem. Located on the main Road in Unawatuna. Set back so no noise. 5 mins walk to busy beach road and the beach. It's great value for money. Beds huge and comfortable. Staff very helpful and always have a smile
Excellent boutique hotel with stunning views. Staff is very polite and professional. Food at the hotel is made with highest standards and tastes great. Attentive manager taking care of all what is needed during the stay.
It was one of the most well-conditioned and clean hotel I saw on Sri Lanka. Nice room, a lot of space. Extremely friendly hosts 😊 they almost everyday asked us what did we want for the breakfast. My recommendation!
Great hotel at the quieter end of Unawatuna Beach. Staff were excellent. Breakfast was good. The small infinity pool with loungers on the roof is a great place to watch the sunset or swim if the sea is too rough.
The location of this small hotel in Unawatuna is super, away enough from the main strip to make it relaxed but not too far that access to the strip is an issue. The beach is across the road.
10/10 for the location. Beach touching property. Restaurants near by, ocean sounds at night. Memorable experience! Breakfast was fresh made and delicious, both continental and Sri Lankan.
Dunes was like an oasis in the crazy busy unawatuna. The breakfast was the most beautiful and delicious. I loved it! The garden was beautiful and we were sad only to stay one night.
