Rooms are spacious & clean, although are a bit dated. Restaurant is good value & the bar prices are fairly cheap. Right on the beach in the middle of Unawatuna. The pool looks nice but is not cooling at all, water temp is very warm.

The hotel is very good. The rooms as well. It was the busiest hotel from my two weeks stay in Sri Lanka. Even some government cars in a parking lot. So it really must be popular. The beach is nice with good access to sea. Plenty of various levels of restaurants on the beach around. Good place to relax on... More

We found out later that they will be remodeling that entire section to look just like the new section built over a year ago! The food was amazing... More
