Sea view is absolutely stunning and private beach is great. My wife and I would walk to to the main beach for meals but would stay on the private beach. Staff are great. Breakfast is made to order and they will provide anything you would want. From what we saw I would say that it one of the better locations to stay.

It is a small hotel with very friendly staff. The food is great. All requests are addresses within minutes. I would definitely recommend to book a room with the view. It is right over the small private beach and all you can see and hear is the ocean... 5 stars hands down!

Lovely for a holiday by the sea
It’s a really lovely, very clean property. The staff is lovely and the manager went above and beyond to help us find a room at another hotel when we wanted to extend but were not able to stay at La Veranda because it was booked solid. The breakfast patio opens up to a private beach. We stayed in the “basic” room, which didn’t have a sea view (we knew ahead of time) but as it was partially underground it was a very cool retreat from the very hot sun. WiFi was excellent in our room, only thing I would change it a slightly larger sheet as the one provided was a bit small for two to share. Im sure if we had asked the staff would have provided either a second sheet or a larger sheet, but it wasn’t much of a problem so we didn’t say anything. :) A perfect little getaway spot. We look forward to staying again.

Amazing Views
Nice small family hotel at the end of the beach. It’s a bit away from the main beach area, but that was a positive for me. There is a small private beach in front of the hotel. Only 3-5 people I saw at any given time. The outdoor breakfast area is fantastic. It’s shaded by large palm trees overlooking the ocean with amazing sunsets. I had a sea view room. Only heard the street noise if someone honked their horn because the sound of the waves was louder than the street :). Do note that Mother Nature doesn’t observe nighttime quiet hours and the crashing waves were very loud at night. Amazing staff, very kind, service with a smile everyday. The room is tiny for the price, but neat and has traditional British colonial decor. WiFi was spotty, but that is common in Sri Lanka. 4 stars because there was a power outage for several hours. Totally, understand that things happen (I experienced outages at multiple hotels) but the owners should have the generator and gas ready to go for these instances vs. having to procure needed items during an outage. Yes, I would stay again.

Riktigt mysigt ställe för kortare vistelse ligger precis vid stranden! Utmärkt frukost och service! Rekommenderar varmt!

The hotel was amazing, very comfortable, great view from the verandah of the sunsets. Right on the beach which was safe to swim and turtles to be seen swimming by. The breakfast was also great and the staff eager to please even helped negotiate a great fare with the Tuk Turks. Lots of good restaurants to walk to.

Before we even arrived, the owner of this hotel had not only secured us transportation from the airport, but confirmed my specific room requests and let us know he could coordinate our tours and interests during our stay. Upon arrival, we received welcome tropical drinks and were provided with dinner options. Each morning we woke up to an amazing breakfast served right by the beach. The location happens to be along a private rocky beach where you can snorkel and watch the sea turtles who come in along the rocks daily. Anything we needed, the staff were willing to help us locate both in the local area and throughout the country. The owner set up a safari tour for us, visit to the turtle conservation hatchery, whale watching...the list goes on. This is a small hotel tucked into a fantastic area with the most attentive and friendly staff I've ever experienced in our travels. We would stay no where else in Sri Lanka. Hands down one of the best vacation stays we've had. A real hidden gem. Thank you Chandana and Sadith for an unforgettable experience.

inhabergeführtes Hotel direkt am Meer
Von dem, was ich gesehen habe, mit das Beste in Unawatuna. Wir haben uns für den Ort entschieden, da wir tauchen wollten. Vom Ort an sich und vom Strand war ich eher enttäuscht! kein schöner Strand und schon ultra touristisch... Das Hotel hat es aber rausgerissen, da wir total toll empfangen wurden, jeden Morgen ein fantastisches Frühstück gehabt und auch bei Bestellung das Abendessen war viel, viel besser als die Restaurants am Strand. Man kann direkt am Hotel ins Meer, ist jedoch nicht ideal und nicht kindergeeignet. Ansonsten haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, das Zimmer war top und man schläft quasi direkt über dem Meer.

Terrible value for money
Breakfast was ok, otherwise completely overrated and on a very noisy road. No idea how all the other reviews are so positive

Loved waking up to the sea view
Had a lovely stay in this place. It has its private beach and its 5min away from the main beacj where you find a lot of restaurants. You get to wake up and eat your breakfast with the sea view. The staff is very friendly and the food in the hotel is nice. Had an amazing time.

Location was nice but the hotel beach was very small. The hotel itself seemed a little tired and in need of some polishing and updating. The penthouse apartment was a fantastic layout. The faucet in our shower was broken and would not allow cold water, luckily there were 2 showers in the apartment.

Bra läge samt hjälpsam och trevlig personal!
Trevlig och välkomnande personal. Mysiga rum(om än ngt hårda sängar för min del). Fantastiskt att sitta ute med havsutsikten och äta frukosten som var god(kontinental). Hotellet har en liten strandplätt, men för de som vill ha större så fanns unawatuna beach bara ca.5min promenad bort. Havssköldpaddorna simmade runt i vattnet alldeles utanför hotellet(boka rum med havsutsikt för bästa vy). Vi kan gott rekommendera detta ställe.

Good Place in Ocean view.
The hotel is situated on the bank of Indian ocean. Never book for jungle view side. This is not okay to stay. Huge sound of vehicles from the adjacent road discomfort you.

On the Beach - pretty well in the sea!
A very friendly small hotel located with the sea lapping at its front. Not a good beach for swimming immediately in front - you need to go 60m along the road to get a good swimming beach or a bit further to get a real broad swathe of sand. The hotel is, however, out of hearing of the noisy sections of Uwatuna beach - you are guaranteed a good night's sleep. The hotel is small, but the owner and his staff give impeccable service - nothing is too much trouble.

지저분한 시설과 관리
해변 바로 옆이라 파도소리에 너무 시끄럽고, 침대 담요가 너무 낡고 냄새가 나는 등 가격대비 최하 등급의 곳이라 너무 억망이라는 느낌을 지울 수 없었다. 정말 개선할 것이 너무 많은 곳이다. 오직 아침식사는 괜찮았다.
