Не советую брать этот отель I do not recommend this hotel

The hotel is one of the most unfortunate in the bay of Unawatuna. We took this hotel only because we took a tour three weeks before departure and there were no more places in many hotels, but we wanted to go to Unawatuna. The hotel is almost always half empty, at the time of our stay only 7 people lived there. Now more details about the hotel.

Location
Located in the very corner of the bay, away from cafes and shops. The beach is right across the road, but crossing this road is still a pleasure! There is no concept of a pedestrian crossing in Sri Lanka, no one intends to let pedestrians through and slow down too, so I had to stand near the road waiting for the right moment to cross the road, namely the crossing, not the crossing, because the road is busy: buses, cars, motorcycles are running , trucks, wagons. Many Unawatuna hotels, unlike the Comaran Beach Hotel, are located directly on the ocean.

Rooms

We took a standard room - a very modest room, the furniture is old, bed linen and towels leave much to be desired, no repairs, white and gray walls. There is air conditioning, no hair dryer, gels, shampoos and soaps, too. Instead of a balcony, there is a veranda for several rooms; this veranda offers a good view of the ocean and Unawatuna Bay.

Cleaning
They cleaned only on demand, that is, it was necessary to approach the staff and ask them to do the cleaning, they did not come to clean it themselves.

Swimming pool, territory
The hotel does not have its own territory, there is only a small courtyard with a pool and several sunbeds. Since there are no people in the hotel, the sunbeds and the pool are always empty. You can swim in the pool at any time of the day.

Nutrition
The price includes breakfast - continental breakfast: a choice of scrambled eggs or scrambled eggs with sausages, there are no other options.
They also bring a few toasts with jam and butter, a plate of fruits (papaya, watermelon, pineapple) and tea / coffee to choose from. And so every day. I advise you to have lunch and dinner in cafes on the beach, there are a lot of them, we liked Lucky Tuna and Tartaruga the most.

Tours
We did not take excursions from the tour operator, it was too expensive. We took an English-speaking driver in a minivan for 2 days, he drove us along the route we compiled, took for five, it turned out much cheaper than the tour operator.

Beach
Opposite the hotel, the beach is not bad, but there is a fairly strong current and the water is straight hot, not refreshing, and there is no underwater world. We went to Jungle Beach - this is a small semi-wild beach where there are never waves. There is clean, clear water, there are corals, colored fish. Jungle is very green (palms, mangroves, exotic trees) and monkeys often come there. Previously, this beach was wild, but now there is a small beach cafe and sun loungers.
In the cafe, by the way, they feed normally, they ate there every day, they didn’t get poisoned. Deep-fried shrimp and squid with sauce are delicious. You can get to the Jungle on foot, follow the path through the jungle, but you need to know the way, it's hard to explain. The easiest way to get there is by tuk-tuk, any tuk-tuk will take you there for about 40 rupees, 10 minutes drive.

Unawatuna bay

I really liked the bay itself: the ocean is calm, there are no waves, the beach is quite clean, there are plenty of cafes, shops and shops are also full, there is everything you need to relax. At the end of the bay there are two temples - two white stupas, smaller and larger, you can walk to them on foot, from there you have an excellent view of the entire bay. Huge ocean turtles periodically come to the beach to lay their eggs, we were lucky to witness this process.
In general, we are very satisfied with the trip, we will be happy to come to Unawatuna again, but to a different hotel.
