Great location secluded spot. Lively comfortable Cabanas with everything you could need. Location near to restaurants and local areas/ attractions but felt very private and safe. Unawatuna easily reachable by tuk tuk. The resort staff were always happy to help and arrange. Great views Beautiful beach Turtles! So lovely to see Friendly and helpful staff. Amazing little 3 legged friend tuk tuk. I great Caine companion to enjoy our breakfasts with in the morning. Incredibly cute ❤️

Beautiful cabana right on the beach. Service was great.

Nothing to do with the accommodation, there needs to be someone supervising the turtles due to inappropriate actions (e.g. people holding onto them, trying to ride them). At the risk of causing ructions internationally, it's Russian tourists doing this from what I had witnessed. Only other downside was the trains passing nearby which were very noisy, mainly noticeable late evening/early morning.

Fantastic location, beach right on your doorstep, quaint thatched cabins very well spaced out in the grounds. While expensive compared to other modern accommodation, the huts while basic are very comfortable, but you are definitely paying for the privilege of space overlooking the ocean. They could easily fit in more huts but have chosen not to. Beds were very comfortable. Large verandah area out the front of huts. Staff were genuinely extremely friendly and ensured huts and grounds were cleaned regularly. The sand beach area unfortunately is limited, as over the past few years a lot of the sand has been washed away, however the main draw is the turtles which inhabit the area which you can swim with.

Location, stunning views, spacious beach front bungalow, beautiful staff, swimming with turtles.

My only minor criticism is it is next to a fairly busy road so there’s not much opportunity to have a walk in the evening apart from along the beach. The advantage however, is there are always Tuk Tuk available outside to take you to the nearby areas..

Incredible place right on the beach. Beautiful grass area for relaxing adj to the beach too! The host was incredibly hospitable, always responded promptly and helped us with our individual needs. The apartment is beautiful and well-maintained. At this point in the trip, we’ve enjoyed one nice meal also. We would certainly recommend a stay

We were made to feel very welcome and treated as if we were the only people staying. The location of our beach cabin was simply stunning…. We could see turtles swimming in the water from our terrace… literally 10 meters away. For an authentic stay I would highly recommend

Have to pay in cash Immediately off the main road Turtle beach has become super touristy, many tourists touching turtles (which you shouldn’t do) - but this is not directly related to the property

Room was big, clean, comfortable Location next to turtle beach is great, early in the morning not too many tourists Parking spot if you come with a car Very friendly staff, all processes easy

Didn’t expect very noisy street, railway tracks and building works just next to our apartment. We heard everything and was difficult to take a rest.

Location just next to Turtle Beach and only 10 minutes to city center by tuk tuk. Delicious food and very friendly stuff!

Unfortunately the giant turtles caused much excitement and we feel unnecessary attention.

Deepika and her team were excellent hosts. Our cabana was private and restful. The breakfasts were amazing!

This was our most expensive stay during our trip to Sri Lanka. While it was convenient to be right by the turtle beach, we are still wondering if this justifies the significant price difference compared to our other accommodations.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, especially the beautiful garden with coconut palm trees and the fantastic location right by a beach where we could see turtles. The food in the restaurant was delicious, and our cabana was very comfortable, equipped with everything we needed. Breakfasts served on the terrace of the house were absolutely magical, adding a special touch to our mornings.

Awesome place ! Perfect to stay with kids - our daughter enjoyed swimming with turtles and sandy beach. They have a great breakfast and tasty food from restaurant. Our bungalow was just few steps away from the beach, i couldn't imagine better location. We loved everything about this place. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka , we will definitely stay at this place again.

Location, and the garden is amazing! Quiet.. shady and right at the beach. Note depending the month the beach vanishes to come back in December. Very friendly !! Unpretentious and authentic !

Nothing, it was perfect!

A family-run hotel offering both bungalows and a residence. We had the chance to experience both and can highly recommend them. Unlike the bustling city center, the hotel is located in a quieter area, making it perfect for those seeking relaxation and tranquility. The hotel has its own restaurant where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Additionally, they offer Ayurvedic massages, which we wholeheartedly recommend—the best massages we’ve ever had! It’s just a few minutes by tuk-tuk to the center of Unawatuna. The beach is easily accessible, and the hotel has its own garden where guests can relax and sunbathe peacefully. Thanks to natural wave breakers, the sea is calm and ideal for children. We were completely satisfied with our stay and can recommend this hotel 100%. A big thank you to Deepika, the family and staff for making our Sri Lanka trip so special! The hosts are exceptionally helpful, welcoming, and caring, always ready to assist in any way they can. We will come back for sure :-)

Nothing.

The perfect authentic beach hut set in a luscious garden right on the beach. Staff were amazing, smiley and super friendly. Deepika was so accommodating and even gave us a late check out. It felt like being in a family. They would serve us our breakfast on our veranda so we can sit in peace looking at the ocean. Dreamy.

The hotel lacks a pool and spa facilities. Payment must be made in cash.

The key feature of this hotel is the warm and friendly staff. In my experience, it's not often that staff friendliness can be described as sincere in a hotel, but this is case in point. The hotel is not luxurious but we were impressed by the top apartment - spacious with a great view from the large balcony. Mosquitos were a problem, so come prepared with repellent. Beach access was a bit limited during our visit due to a high tide and rough sea, but the turtles nevertheless came to the next beach along when prompted by locals with food for them.

All is perfect.

Perfect location just a few steps away from the turtle beach. Spacious room, incredible view from the balcony. Staff very friendly. Comfortable bed. We stated in the Ukussa apartment and loved it! It is very convenient that the beach is near, you can hear ocean sounds which is very calming. Food in the restaurant good quality. Swimming with the turtles was the best experience!!!! Highly recommend staying at this place.

There was an issue with Ants and I think the Bungalow would benefit to have a net attached to the windows to avoid mosquitos. Also if the shower tiles were not stained it would be perfect

Sleeping to the sound of the waves. Early morning ocean swim. The feel of privacy with my loved one.

Prices are a bit higher but it was absolutely worth it and we loved it!

Amazing place, we loved it! The hut is directly infront of the water and we sound of the wave made us so comfortable! The turtles at the beach are kind and started to eat from our hands. Food ordered from the place was amazing, breakfast was so good!!! We still dream of being there 💛

One of our favorite stays in Sri Lanka! Swimming with the giant sea turtles every day was an unforgettable experience. The bungalow was cozy, spotless, and the bed super comfortable. The sweetest staff and their adorable dog, Lansi, made our stay perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking for their own little slice of paradise just outside the city!
