The room was simple, clean and we had no problems with bugs.The room was equiped with a minibar and kettle and we had a nice dinner in the restaurant. However the location of this hotel was very disappointing as it had no direct access to the beach.The pool in the sister hotel is really too far away. The older waiter... More

Stayed here 3 nights and was frankly disappointed based on expectations from reviews and website. Our room was so so, no beach view and rather basic like cheap hotel. Only a few rooms have ocean view. The beach at Unawatuna is quite narrow, probably damaged by tsunami. The town itself is OK, not great. The restaurant was quite good and... More

Thaproban Beach House is located right on the beach, but definitely on the more quiet end of Unawatuna Beach. The room was spacious. Quite simple but very nice. You can hear the sound of the waves even in the room. We had very good food in the restaurant, and the chef came out to check everything was ok. The service... More

This was actually a very nice place right “on” the beach but beware of “ocean view” rooms. There are only a few rooms that actually face the ocean and from most rooms you can only see the ocean when stepping outside your room. This is one of the examples where a building was put right back onto its original foundations... More

This is our second time in Unawatuna. had 9 nights at the hotel, previously we stayed at the sister hotel which is also highly recommended. Now we chose this hotel because of the location on the beach. Super Location by the beach especially if you order the rooms with sea view. Super service all over, starts from the booking service...

We had a booking for 7 nights in the beginning of February. The room was quite ok, although the shower was not really having much water pressure, shower drain was not working well, and bathroom was missing the glass in one of the windows (bugs and noice coming). Also the bed was really shaky, making a lot of noise whenever... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your review, the reason why the reception staff was not able to give a proper answer about your refund as your booking was made via agoda and the hotel cannot give a refund to your hand unless the booking agency refunds it back to your credit card. The room category which was booked by you... More

We stayed here for 10 days during the recent Cricket Test Series, the hotel was perfect for what we wanted. Perfect location to the beach, and facilities at the retreat were also very useful. The rooms were cleaned spotlessly every day and the food was also to a high standard. Special mention to the housekeepers (especially Nuan) and the waiting... More
