"Really decent hotel. Would highly recommend. The rooms are very clean and spacious, some rooms even have jacuzzi. The view is just amazing:you can swim in the pool and watching the waves breaking on the huge rocks. If you want to swim - main Unawatuna beach is just few minutes walking distance. The breakfasts and food from menu a la carte were delicious. Try their pizza - awesome (which is rare on Sri Lanka). Though its not that cheap but it worth it. I found this place comfortable for anyone: couples can enjoy romantic view, dinner and jacuzzi and spa; families with kids can use kids playing room and swimming pool, which has space for kids also; group of friends can chill out in sport bar watching sports on big screen, playing billiard, darts or fuzball. Would definitely like to come here again. "

"2 Canadians from Vancouver wish to thank all at WB Villa for a really First Class experience. 5 stars from us. Our one week in the Basilico Bungalow was the highlight of a month long stay in Sri Lanka and we could've/should've stayed longer. We came half-way across the world and WB didn't disappoint. Where do we start? - the location in Thalpe, the comfortable bungalow, the beautiful architecture and funky furniture, the warm friendly and professional staff, the delicious food and the gorgeous gardens and beach on which to laze around. The staff here are fantastic: friendly but professional, discrete when needed. They all take turns looking after the guests, sweeping and watering the gardens, cooking, serving, cleaning and all the many many duties that elevates this Villa to 5 Star status.Thank you Sanjivan, Randika, Chandana, Kumara and all the other boys for treating us so well. Food: The meals were always delicious - breakfasts lunches and dinners and we could write long stories but WB has a 5 star reputation for food and drinks and we agree. We couldn't resist Grilled Fish and Prawns everyday, heavenly!! And the breakfast omelettes, WOW!! Location: This part of the Thalpe coast is villa country, we walked 30 mts east and you get to Habaraduwa junction. Walking west you'll get to Vijaya beach in about the same time, passing by all the other famous villas - Frangipani etc - that will cost you double the price than staying at WB Villa. Swimming: There is a safe area to swim just east of the villa, walk 5 mts out the back gate and the spot is between the reefs. Right in front is the lagoon thats protected from the waves but you may cut yourself on the reef so wear shoes or flippers in this spot. Thank you very much Massimo and Lasith, Sanjivan and the staff, and to Mama and the doggies for a fabulous time at WB Villa. L+J, Vancouver, Canada"

"We stayed one night at Hotel J. The hotel is brand new and I believe that this was a soft opening. The Rooms had everything you needed and the beds were super comfortable. The Rooms however, were not cleaned out perfectly. There was dust on the bathroom floor and the counters and residue from the construction. I believe, this was due to the fact that it was a soft opening, but if the rooms were given out, it should have been cleaned thoroughly. The staff, were very helpful, and the Wi-Fi was great. The food offered was priced well, and the quality of food was OK. The hotel is not a beach front property, but it is located close to the action points. A 10 minute walk (1km ) will take you to Welle Dewala Road where all the action points are. Overall, Hotel J is true value for money in Unawatuna. "

"This is the best location if you need to be very close (5min walking distance) to a quite beach for swimming, not surfing. The Villa is beautiful, very clean and the food is delicious! Their environmentally friendly approach is one of the important points that I LOVED!! The prices are really good! And the most important - SERVICE IS AMAZING! People who work here are the BEST! You will definitely feel like you are home! :)"

"My partner and I stayed at this hotel for four nights in July during our 2.5 wk stay in Sri Lanka. The room we had booked was one of the ocean privilege suites and wow what a room it was, one of the best we have ever stayed in anywhere in the world!! It was very big and had a full wall of glass overlooking the fabulous private beach and across to Galle. The bathroom was amazing complete with Jacuzzi. We were given a pillow menu and soap menu on arrival which were nice touches. The sun loungers on the beach were really fabulous and gave that extra touch. The breakfasts were very good, not buffet, but served to order with plenty of options. We had lunch and dinner on a number of occasions during our stay and again the food was fabulous. We had a BBQ on the beach one night and this was a real treat. The staff at the hotel were amazing and couldn't do enough for you! The hotel is just a five/ten minute tuk tuk ride from Unawatuna beach and jungle beach which are beautiful. Galle town is only a ten minute trip and the fort walls are an amazing sight in the evening as the sun sets. There are plenty of excellent restaurants scattered around the old town. On the downside, the pool is very small & uninviting. It was monsoon when we were there and when an occasional shower came, the noisy metal roller doors surrounding the front of the restaurant had to be closed, making the place look like an industrial building. Overall we had an amazing stay at this hotel and would recommend it as one of the best boutique hotels not only in Sri Lanka, but anywhere! "

"My friend and I stayed here for 6 nights in a pool Pavillion room and we had the most incredible stay. The hotel was lovely and in a great setting next to the sea and only a short walk to the gorgeous beach! The rooms were very spacious and nicely decorated. The pool area was great and so relaxing! The food was fab, breakfast was very good and we ate dinner here twice and had the most incredible sea food! Finally the staff were amazing, incredibly friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble to arrange. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking at hotels in unawatuna. This hotel will not disappoint!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!"

"We really enjoyed and recommend the Dunes Unawatuna hotel. The Sri Lankan owner spent a number of years living in Australia and has made sure this newly built hotel has good Western standards - quite a difference to other places we've stayed in Sri Lanka. The staff were friendly and attentive, we enjoyed the food, and the beach is great for swimming, running, and a range of good restaurants with tables on the beach."
