Thaproban Pavilion Resort and Spa

“Zu teuer für die Nebensaison”

We really appreciated the attentive staff and the Thaproban Waves pool. Unfortunately, Unawatuna is in low season and the hotel is being prepped for the high season, which brings construction noise that we weren’t warned about; after five minutes in our room we asked for a different one because we couldn’t tolerate it, were shown two alternatives and had to choose. We would have liked some price compensation for the inconvenience, but none was offered. It was the most expensive hotel we’d booked in Sri Lanka and should have been the highlight of our tour, yet the property suffers from moisture issues, leaking air‑conditioning units, a shower that floods, and we had to lay towels on the floor; breakfast is reduced for the off‑season with no buffet, the bedding smells damp, and overall it felt clammy. All in all, the cost—190 € for two nights—was far too high for a student, especially since booking on the same day would have been cheaper; I’m honestly quite annoyed.

We absolutely loved our stay! The room was spacious and beautiful, with a majestic pool and sea view. The food court was just a short walk away and the whole setting was very scenic. The team was incredibly kind and accommodating – they even arranged an early check‑in and provided us with a complimentary birthday cake. ❤️ Overall, things were good, but a few things could have been better. The bathroom mirror light was fused, making it quite dark, and the locker was a bit malfunctioning. We did mention these issues, but unfortunately they weren’t addressed, possibly due to the rush.

“Overall experience was good because of staff, but the hotel is a bit tired looking”

The staff were very friendly, the food was very good, the room was very spacious and the swimming pool was nice. However, the hotel looks a bit tired – the exterior building, the rooms, and the area around the pool all seem as if they haven’t been properly maintained since they first opened, which is a real shame. It’s a shame and could easily be rectified if management stepped in.

The pool was great. There were no activities for children.
