The staff were amazing from start to finish. They went over and beyond right from the moment we entered the hotel, greeting us and ensuring our staff was comfortable and we were happy. They served us a fantastic meal on the beach for our last evening and every staff member went out of their way to be super accommodating and kind

Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay! The morning of checkin, my partner put his back out and was as bed-bound for almost a week while it healed. We ended up extending our stay to almost two weeks to allow him time to get better and we’re so thankful we were checking into such a lovely hotel when this happened!
Our room (studio with terrace) was massive, the pictures don’t do it justice at all, beautiful big windows/doors with a lovely view of the garden letting in loads of light (but with big proper curtains for privacy if you want it) A comfy sofa and arm chair, dining table, kitchen with huge fridge and ample cooking facilities, lovely bathroom. The mattress was probably the best we’ve ever slept on in a hotel, so comfy, great pillows too. The AC was amazing and room very well insulated, we could turn the AC off all day while we were out and we’d come back to a room still cool. Plus the room was super clean and considering we were on the ground floor we were surprise we didn’t have any ants or bugs at all in the room. Lovely big pool that’s cleaned & maintained several times a week by a pool professional, big comfy, padded sun loungers. Tasty and varied breakfast menu - because we were there so long we tried everything on the menu and it’s all delicious and served fresh to order. Proper good French press coffee! Everyone who works there is happy and helpful and full of smiles and you can tell it’s a family run place. FREE water refills were a life saver! Two very cute cats owned by the family were also a joy to play with.
Some might fear the location is a little out of town but it’s a short 10 minute walk down the hill and you’re at the beach or in town, and there are a number of restaurants just around the corner from the hotel anyway as well as a small local shop selling snacks and drinks for a very reasonable price. Also, there are loads of options on Uber eats that deliver to the hotel if you want a chilled night in.

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.
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.
Nice and safe

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.
We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights and had an extremely comfortable stay. The view from the hotel was fabulous and we were very close to the beach. The staff was nice enough to make arrangements for us to visit their sister property which overlooks the beach. The food was good and the staff was very supportive in getting customised meals for our 3.5 year old.
Special mention and a big thank you to Tharanga, Dilrukshe, Mahender, Lahiru and Subadra.
Highly recommend the hotel to those travelling to Unawatuna.
Thambapanni is a hotel with style and flair. We had a luxury room with a very comfortable bed, a nice bath and a space Terrasse surrounded by banana plants and palm trees. Breakfast is buffet, they brew strong coffee on request. The pool looks nice, for swimming it’s okay. But we preferred the ocean, which is only 10 minutes away. At the beach Thambapanni has also a restaurant, where you can catch a sun bed, if you are lucky (and faster than Russian guests, who look at Unawatuna as their second home).
We spent about 2 weeks in Sri Lanka and The Waves was the best property where we lived in Sri Lanka. It should be rated as very clean by Sri Lanka standards, also in perfect location. Free sunbeds and beach towels. Super comforfable bed, very good AC and an amazing shower.
I will add also that wifi was working very good, we were on workation and were able to have calls and everything without problems.
In staying in Unawatuna, I would really recommend this, it's not cheap, but it is worth the price.
The Guest House is located on a central street of Unawatuna village. To reach the nearest magnificent beach you have to walk just 5-7 minutes, it's really very close. The rooms are equipped with air conditioners. More expensive rooms have anti-mosquito curtains over the beds. The House is quiet, nothing disturbed our night rest much. It's perfect for staying a couple of nights on your journey around Sri Lanka. But we were satisfied with living there for 2 weeks, too.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite which had 2 bathrooms and was very spacious, perfect for a family. Two good size swimming pools and a short walk to the beach/main stretch of Unawatuna. The hotel also has a shuttle service to take you to the sister hotel on the beach if you didn’t want to walk. Breakfast was good with omelettes and scrambled eggs cooked fresh to order and a good selection of fruit, cereal etc.
All staff members were very friendly and helpful.
This is a great location. Close to the train station and bus stop. And only 10 mins walk to the beach, bars and restaurants. No noise as the rooms are away from the Galle road. The breakfasts were excellent and we also ate in the restaurant in the evening on a number of occasions. Both the food and service were 1st class. The period features of the reception are a welcome change to modern hotels in Sri Lanka.
This hotel was sensational. The wildlife you see is incredible. Iguanas walking around and monkeys. The comfiest pillows and the friendliest staff. The head chef was amazing and super friendly and made me the best prawn curry I have had in Sri Lanka. He went out his way to make us traditional Sri Lankan breakfast. It is very safe and the little extras made our stay very special.
This hotel was the last hotel we stayed at during our Sri Lanka trip and we were very satisfied with our stay. The staff was really helpful, food and drinks were great, room had a beautiful view and also a great shower and the pool at the rooftop bar was simply amazing. Def recommend! Location is near Jungle Beach and is very quiet which is perfect to enjoy a good night's rest.
the staff is great. it’s run by a family and the Mom will assure you have a breat breakfast. they change it everyday and had the sri lankan option. she knew we liked roti so she made us some. she treated us like her own kids.
the location is great its pretty quiet. loved the refreshing pool and the balcony view
+ Staff was very friendly
+ The hotel is very beautiful and the pool area is amazing
+ Location. You have to walk a bit to the Unawatuna beach and city center (something I knew beforehand) but it's right in front of the beach. So it depends on what you want, but still I believe it has a good location
My wife and I traveled to Negombo, Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, and this was our favorite hotel on the trip. We spent three days here and didn't want to leave. The views, quiet beach, and hospitality were all amazing. The food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka as well.
Staff are amazing, very kind an generous.
The place designed beautifully, nature vibes.
The massage was very good and dinner and breakfast delicious! We spent 2 nights, wish to spend more!
really, the best hotel in Sri Lanka
Definitely will come back!
Very nice and unique small hotel, quiet and comfortable place for family vacation, excellent and hospitable staff, they can organize absolutely everything by your request! The hotel has own small beach that is very conveniently after overcrowded Unawatuna.
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
Our room was very spacious and the view of the ocean from the balcony was incredible, definitely worth paying extra for. The pool area and garden was nice. Food was excellent, especially the Sri Lankan curry, the portion was massive as well.
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.
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 was great. Close to Unawatuna and turtle beach but far from the crowds. We could go swimming at the front of the hotel. Big garden and lovely staff for our 3 year or old son to run around and play
Nice place for one or two days stay. Close to bus station and the beach. The hotel has generator that is very convenient during turns off the the light as common practice in Sri Lanka.
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.
