The Lodge Unawatuna

“This is not overly large, just perfect, the swimming pool was a good size with small baby area, at times we had pool to”

This hotel sits in the heart of Unawatuna, a 5‑minute walk to the beach, 100 m from all shops and restaurants, 15 minutes by tuk‑tuk to Galle, 10 minutes to Turtle Beach, the Turtle Rehab Centre, and also near Cinnamon Island where you can see monkeys jumping on your boat, eagles, and other wild birds. The rooms lack TVs but offer Wi‑Fi, so you can stream on your tablet or Kindle.

“К сожалению, в день выезда произошло недопонимание между мной и хозяйкой, в связи с чем не удалось соблюсти договореннос”

We really enjoyed staying at this guesthouse; it had everything we needed—a single‑burner gas stove, a pot, a pan, a set of dishes and a fridge, plus a working shower with good water pressure and constant hot water, and a few adapters for the sockets. The pool was clean, large and pleasant, and a male staff member was constantly washing or cleaning, always very kind and pleasant. It was perfectly situated, just a ten‑minute walk along the main tourist street to a nice beach spot, with many cafés nearby and the option to order a tuk‑tuk or a tour. The grounds were lovely, with mangoes, rambutan, squirrels and little monkeys. The only downsides were that the room was a bit dark—my son was studying online and it was dim even by the window—Wi‑Fi barely reached the second floor so we mainly used mobile data, and housekeeping only came once in ten nights, on the fourth day, without any further offers, which I didn’t ask for.

“Jó”

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the location was excellent. The apartment was spacious, and my kids loved the pool. However, the apartment itself was quite dark and the furniture and decor were old and outdated.

I was thoroughly impressed with the hospitality of the apartment staff, particularly Mahesh and Chamer, who went above and beyond to help us. We loved the overall experience and even had people from other hotels asking to be transferred here. However, I didn't really have any complaints, and I thought the price-to-quality ratio was superb.

“Wonderful place and wonderful staff”

Our stay at this hotel was a mixed bag, with some lovely aspects and a few major drawbacks. The lady in charge was incredibly friendly and accommodating, going out of her way to ensure our needs were met. The location was also fantastic, with plenty of bars and restaurants within a short walk. The pool was a lovely bonus, and we enjoyed spending time there. However, our experience was marred by some extremely loud and obnoxious guests from a particular country, who seemed to dominate the area.
