Great location, easy walk to the beach, a little bit noisy but the noise quietens down by 10pm at this hotel, cannot say the same for the neighbouring bars. Loved the location and swimming in the sea was fantastic which meant not having a pool was fine. Staff are super friendly and made our stay with them all the more enjoyable.

Location! Location! Location!

The location of the hotel was just as it was described! We thoroughly enjoyed the stepping out of the hotel room to the beach. The walkability to the local little shops was a pleasant surprise. The lady at the front desk was profession yet friendly and extremely helpful. She spoke and understood English very well. We loved the very friendly waitstaff, and the Restautant on the beach was awesome!

Room and the location are excellent just near by the beach. Service and hotel facilities are great. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Thaproban beach restaurant is the best restaurant in the area and dining at the beach is wonderful experience. Best and delicious food. Worth for the money spent. Diffidently we will be back for next vacation.

Amazing stay and helpful staff

We really enjoyed our stay in Unawatuna mainly because of the hotel and the staff. Great location by the beach. Try to avoid the rooms with balconies giving directly on the main terrace, it could be noisy at times. They have sister companies where you can attend yoga classes in the AM and spa treatments. They will bring you to those locations in Tuktuk. They arranged oue Safari in Udawalawa and we loved it. Their food is a bit pricy but excellent. Keep up with the good customer experience Thaproban beach house team :) We initially booked for 4 nights and decided to stay an extra 4 nights... It was so relaxing!

I've been in Sri Lanka for a week now and this is the nicest hotel ever, the best word describes my feeling is "family", the staff is very friendly and very helpful, it's on the beach, the restaurant is very excellent in it's service, and the food is delicious. Room service is the best, and I will recommend this hotel to anyone coming to unawatunna.

Right on the beach experience

We chose this hotel as it was right on the main beach of Unawatuna, we had a very good experience overall. From the best sea food, comfortable rooms, friendly staff and the best location. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who loves the beach and swim in the sea as this is the best location in Unawatuna.

The most unaccommodating hotel ever

I booked this hotel on Expedia. It was horrific!! Do not book this hotel ever if you can help it. The people are so unfriendly and unaccomadating. I don’t even give it a half a star.

Lovely hotel on the beach

If you've got a bit more money in your budget this is a lovely place to stay. Generously sized rooms with big super comfortable beds. Staff are really attentive without being over the top and in your face. Tasty breakfast, you will not go hungry! Personally not our favourite beach location in Sri Lanka as the sand was quite course and the sea rougher making it harder to have a relaxing dip, however they do offer you free use of their pools at two other hotels close by. We didn't use the pools so can't comment on them. Overall lovely stay at a nice hotel.

Nice cutesy hotel at the beach

Room opens right onto the beach, which is great. We had booked superior rooms which are actually on the ground floor (hence the partial sea view), which was a bit of a bummer. Rooms on first floor are better.

Highly NOT Reccomended

The current rating is extremely misleading. This hotel should not be priced at more than thirty or forty dollars a night. First off, there was an awful sewer smell throughout the entire lobby area. The rooms were nothing like the photos. Not only were they riddled with mosquitoes and moths, but there were giant gaps in the balcony doors not allowing them to close properly. The canopy over bed had holes in it and the light fixtures were rusted. Most importantly, the shower had no hot water. After leaving it running for five minutes, you may get like warm water. The pressure in the shower was on existent. The wifi was not working for one of the two nights that we were there. Even when it was working, it was going in and out of service.
