“Wowwwww so beautiful”
20 Dec 2024
Outstanding & amazing place! Swimming with the beautiful turtles 🐢 is the best way to start/finish an beautiful day! I spend my birthday here and got a nice cake! The people here are amazing! We definitely will come back here!

“We loved this place”
15 Dec 2024
Awesome place ! Perfect to stay with kids - our daughter enjoyed swimming with turtles and sandy beach. They have a great breakfast and tasty food from restaurant. Our bungalow was just few steps away from the beach, i couldn't imagine better location. We loved everything about this place. If we ever come back to Sri Lanka , we will definitely stay at this place again.

“Quiet and charming”
11 Dec 2024
Location, and the garden is amazing! Quiet.. shady and right at the beach. Note depending the month the beach vanishes to come back in December. Very friendly !! Unpretentious and authentic !

“Best stay in Sri Lanka!”
05 Dec 2024
A family-run hotel offering both bungalows and a residence. We had the chance to experience both and can highly recommend them. Unlike the bustling city center, the hotel is located in a quieter area, making it perfect for those seeking relaxation and tranquility. The hotel has its own restaurant where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Additionally, they offer Ayurvedic massages, which we wholeheartedly recommend—the best massages we’ve ever had! It’s just a few minutes by tuk-tuk to the center of Unawatuna. The beach is easily accessible, and the hotel has its own garden where guests can relax and sunbathe peacefully. Thanks to natural wave breakers, the sea is calm and ideal for children. We were completely satisfied with our stay and can recommend this hotel 100%. A big thank you to Deepika, the family and staff for making our Sri Lanka trip so special! The hosts are exceptionally helpful, welcoming, and caring, always ready to assist in any way they can. We will come back for sure :-)

“Perfect beach hut !!”
03 Dec 2024
The perfect authentic beach hut set in a luscious garden right on the beach. Staff were amazing, smiley and super friendly. Deepika was so accommodating and even gave us a late check out. It felt like being in a family. They would serve us our breakfast on our veranda so we can sit in peace looking at the ocean. Dreamy.

“Sincere friendly staff and a great location.”
02 Dec 2024
The key feature of this hotel is the warm and friendly staff. In my experience, it's not often that staff friendliness can be described as sincere in a hotel, but this is case in point. The hotel is not luxurious but we were impressed by the top apartment - spacious with a great view from the large balcony. Mosquitos were a problem, so come prepared with repellent. Beach access was a bit limited during our visit due to a high tide and rough sea, but the turtles nevertheless came to the next beach along when prompted by locals with food for them.

“Perfect stay!!!”
25 Nov 2024
Perfect location just a few steps away from the turtle beach. Spacious room, incredible view from the balcony. Staff very friendly. Comfortable bed. We stated in the Ukussa apartment and loved it! It is very convenient that the beach is near, you can hear ocean sounds which is very calming. Food in the restaurant good quality. Swimming with the turtles was the best experience!!!! Highly recommend staying at this place.

“Directly at the beach - dream location”
28 Oct 2024
Amazing place, we loved it! The hut is directly infront of the water and we sound of the wave made us so comfortable! The turtles at the beach are kind and started to eat from our hands. Food ordered from the place was amazing, breakfast was so good!!! We still dream of being there 💛

“Superb”
24 Oct 2024
One of our favorite stays in Sri Lanka! Swimming with the giant sea turtles every day was an unforgettable experience. The bungalow was cozy, spotless, and the bed super comfortable. The sweetest staff and their adorable dog, Lansi, made our stay perfect. Highly recommended for anyone looking for their own little slice of paradise just outside the city!

“Superb”

The bungalow was really clean and beautiful. Nice beach in front of the property where you can see turtles
