Great hotel but not 5*
The hotel itself is lovely and the staff are extremely attentive and friendly. The pool is great and there is a free shuttle to the beach. However the room is quite shabby and dated, the bathroom is more that of a 3 star hotel definitely not 5* Could do with a deep clean! Beds were comfortable

It's marketed as a five star property but it's not quite there. More like a good western standard four star property. I would recommend this property in Unawatuna. Pros: Good location (a little bit away from the noisy part of Unatuwana) , spacious rooms and decent food. "Cons": The level of house cleaning varied.

The property was lovely -.the staff are excellent at customer service. The beach is very small and it’s mainly a rocky peak in front of the hotel but it’s not far to walk to the main beach. The food is very good snd you felt nothing was too much trouble. The fact it has a gym was a winner for me- some new equipment and stronger air con would make this even better

This is a very nice hotel, with two beautiful pools. Our room was quite spacious, with plenty of room for luggage and moving around. The bathroom is also nicely sized, though we did have a good deal of lukewarm showers. Plenty of outlets in convenient locations. The balcony was a nice place to sit and relax. We stayed here 3 nights, and had breakfast here twice -- a good buffet with lots of options and eggs made to order. We also ordered food from the bar on 2 separate occasions -- service was the biggest downfall, as it took quite some time to: receive menus. have our orders taken, receive our food. (The hotel seemed understaffed, as the people working there always seemed busy. Perhaps this was due to it being the shoulder season?) The staff did seem very polite and eager to help (Chathura in particular is excellent and personable, good at what he does.) In any case, when the food did arrive, it was very good, expertly prepared. Drinks were also well-made. One of our biggest frustrations, however, was the inability to get beach towels. This was probably a fluke, one-off incident, but when we tried to get some in the lobby, we were told that the towel delivery from the laundry service was delayed. We ended up using our room towels (& couldn't even replace those, as those were delayed as well.) We finally received them the day before we left. This hotel is probably best for families, as we saw many extended families enjoying the facilities.

We really liked the location and the hotel is really nice. The pools are great and the shared areas are very nice. Our room was large and comfortable. The restaurant is great and the food was really tasty. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. There were a few things that wouldn't as good as we'd expect - - when it rained heavily, water came under our room's door. staff mopped it quickly but needed to be fixed. - The bathroom wasn't as clean as I would expect. - The tap in our bathroom was loose, and small tile on bathroom floor. - The towels weren't great and not always changed or replaced when they had been taken. Had to ask for fresh ones a couple of times. - Too much plastic - bottles of water for room and with meal, butter in individual plastic packets, packed lunch with cling-film on orange, banana and apples! Given how Sri Lanka seems to be struggling to cope with its plastic waste we would have liked to hotel to be bit more proactive with reducing theirs. Overall, we would defiantly stay here again, but it'd be great to see those few things improved.

Not the 5 star it claims.
Make no mistake, this is not a 5 star hotel, I would say closer to a 3 star. Our hotel room, although large was very basic. The sofa was covered in stains and the plug in the shower was exceptionally slow to drain so the shower kept overflowing out of the door. The decor looked very tired and the door card kept having to be reprogrammed to work. After checking in we went to the bar for a cocktail, the cocktail I asked for apparently couldn't be made as they didn't have all the ingredients, this happened with the 3 cocktails I asked for. Another bar tender came along and said they could make the first one I wanted but they hadn't wanted to because the spirit was expensive.... when then went down for dinner and the restaurant was dead. They were training a new waiter which in itself was fine but they were using us as Guinea pigs, the waiter training was stood next to the trainee telling him what to do and showing him whilst they were at our table. Our food came out, I had the 4 cheese pizza which was so incredibly greasy I ended up with a stomach ache the following day. Each day we ate there, regardless of which meal it was there were always a group of staff sat at a table at the front of the restaurant eating and loudly laughing and joking, it wasn't very professional for a claimed 5 star hotel. Both pools are very tired, only the salt water pool have sun loungers and only around 6 or 7. The staff, although friendly weren't very helpful or forthcoming. I definitely would

Had a lovely time
First of all, we travelled two months after the terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka and we never felt that the country was unsafe. This is further reinforced by the fact that there were other tourists travelling in the country at the same time we were. We had a lovely break in Sri Lanka and the three nights stay at this hotel was very pleasant to say the least. The staff were very accommodating and friendly, they always looked after us to a high standard. Perhaps the only negative thing that springs to mind is that the WiFi reception/speed is rather poor (<<1mb/s at times) but this may not affect most travellers. We would agree with other comments that the in house food is expensive but plenty of places to eat out close by. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The overall experience was very good and would like to return to this hotel again.
