Quando estavamos a fazer o chek in a rececionista disse que não tinhamos reserva. O Hotel tinha cancelado a reserva com o operador. Tentamos ligar várias vezes mas devido à diferença horária nunca fomos atendidos. Acabámos por ficar uma noite, tendo em conta o adiantado da hora mas pagando o quarto! O hotel está classificado como 5 estrelas mas equivale a 2 estrelas. Fica longe do centro e da praia, Está a precisar de obras e restauro no mobiliário. A Limpeza é muito deficiente. O pequeno almoço é muito fraco e a sala apesar de ter uma boa vista parece mais um restaurante de 3ª categoria. Foi uma péssima experiência!

It was the worst hotel experience we had ever. Rooms were full with mosquitos,bed linen and pillow case covers was not changed when we arrived and they changed them after we checked in to the room and they sprayed bugs spray all over and it was difficult to breathe. It was raining and that room's electricity went off 4 times and each time it went to we had to run to the reception to inform them as they did not pickup phone. Finally they changed us to a difference room.food was worst.. after getting dinner,I felt sick. I had loose motion and vomiting till next day morning.then my husband got the same condition. When we ask whether they got any medicine they said no. It was around 3.00 a.m. we asked. Next day morning we didn't even had breakfast and quickly checked out from this awful place went straight to a doctor.. It was a worst experience we had ever...I'm so sorry about the money we spent to book it as full board.. we even made a complaint to the hotel manager,but they seems didn't even care.. I will not recommend this place to anybody...

Do NOT listen to the negative reviews regarding this hotel. I have stayed at two other hotels in this area and was very displeased and checked out earlier. This is the only hotel that met my expectations of a 4 star hotel. It is modern, and incredibly aesthetically pleasing. The views are absolutely incredible. The food is very tasty. The staff is incredibly professional and helpful. If you are looking for a hotel on the beach, this is not the hotel. However, if you are more concerned with views, and a pool that is pleasing to the eye, this is your hotel. I really wish I would have ignored the negative reviews of this hotel, and selected this hotel from the beginning, as it is certainly more so what I am used to when I book 4 and 5 star hotels. Book this hotel, you will not regret it.

We had booked Superior Room With Sea View with direct Access to Pool. Following were our experience: - unclean & unkept rooms, toilets, swimming pool. The doors didnt lock properly, AC wasnt cooling the room enough. - the jacuzzi area was very untidy and toilets didnt have the basics like dental kit, body lotion. - the shampoo and shower gel provided were of very poor quality. You expect better quality from so called " BOUTIQUE HOTELS" - they served cold buffet spread. Guests reaching after 1 hour of buffet timing wont get all the spread (both at breakfast and dinner) - too highly priced buffet dinner - they charge extra for more than 2 water bottles per day (never heard of this in any part of sri lankan hotels) - 1 bottle of 1 lt would cost you Srilankan Rupees 300 + taxes (exorbitantly high) - staff not freindly neither eifficient. -rooms very badly maintained. I would never recommend this hotel to anybody looking for a good quality service, good food and good stay. Me and my husband were very very disappointed by the overall experience.

Die Hotelanlage war schön jedoch in die Jahre gekommen. Das Team war sehr freundlich. Für uns hat das Preisleistungsverhältnis nicht ganz gestummen.

We stayed 2 nights and had a great time at Villa Thawthisa. Beautiful swimming pool and amazing view from our room. It was a very steep drive up to the hotel, you may have to bail out of the tuk tuk for it to make it up the hill! The hotel provided a free tuk tuk down to their sister hotel on the beach which we made use of. Stunning beach at Unawatuna but watch out for the strong currents.

We arrived at night a day late due to one of our party being sick, but there was no leniency in altering our arrival date even with more than 24 hours notice; we already expected as much, since it was impossible to cancel our booking at any time without forfeiting half our fee. The place has a beautiful view of the ocean and jungles from the rooms, and especially from the restaurant, but the rooms are stark, with some sort of industrial aesthetic that is jarring for Sri Lanka. There are nice pools and each room has a balcony, but also a glass wall, so at pool level that might be an issue: we wereon the 3rd floor. It is a very good hike to the beach, so anyone with mobility issues be warned! Luckily, we arrived with a car and driver, but there were no quarters for the driver at the hotel and the nearest was at another hotel; otherwise, there are just a few shuttles into and back from town. The reception staff and kitchen staff were cheerful and professional, but the restaurant prices were as if we were staying at a 5 star in Colombo, which this place, in my estimation, was not.

What a wonderful view. We had the ground floor rooms that had direct access to the pool. It was like we had our own private pool. Staff were very attentive. Food was nice. Breakfast buffet was a good western style, eggs cooked as you wish. Restaurant is on the top floor wiht 200 degree views of Unawatuna. A wonderful stay.
