My Wife and I stayed here for a short break,while trundling from place to tourist place in Sri Lanka. I do wish we had stayed longer. A short walk down to the beach,enough to welcome the beach and sea. The beach into the sea is reasonable gentle and I at 6ft could go out to chest height,quite far. We were... More

“Thanks to the manager”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

Arrived here as 1st time visitors to Sri Lanka in March 2013. Only picked Unawatuna as we loved the name! and I am so pleased we did. The hotel was "far from the maddening crowd" with a wonderful sign hanging from a tree saying "your noise disturbs nature". Lots of water features around the small garden and pool area with... More

We loved this place the moment we saw it. We gat a very good price on agoda and thought it was good value for money. The pool area is lovely and tropical.

Free wi-fi, but not available in all the rooms.We (2 couples) had booked two tower suites. One suite was full of mould the cupboards in both suites were damp and had mould on the walls.

“Fantastic hideaway”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

We booked Thambapanni on Agoda the night before our stay, and got a flash deal 62% off the rack rate. It is set back from the beach in a quiet street, only a short walk by the shops and restaurants to the gorgeous Unawatuna beach. We've stayed on the beach before and it can be a nightmare with noisy bars... More

“Cozy hotel with friendly service”

Reviewed 12 March 2013

Sri Lanka is full of nice and friendly people always prepared to help you - but not always gifted with the skills to do so - or maybe just part of the culture in a warm climate. This also goes for this nice little boutique hotel at the backend of Unawatuna. Choose this hotel for a cozy and relaxed atmosphere,... More
