The place was great, we enjoyed our time here. The staff were really helpful and the waiter who served us was very attentive to our needs while also being polite, and friendly. The room was spacious and sitting on the balcony to the sounds of the jungle was a perfect relaxation activity. We didn't use the pool as we use the local beaches each day. There are two lovely beaches within walking distance.

Kaju Green has to be the most unique 5-star hotel I have stayed at. It is as close to nature as you can get and sits within a bird sanctuary and the jungle. The design of the villas is unique and very stylish, with the walls of the lodges/villas made of thin small bamboo halves so you can be in your room and hear the sounds of the birds and the jungle. There is a huge sense of peace and well-being at this hotel, and the food is all organic.
The staff are great, very friendly and helpful.
This hotel is close to a turtle beach, which you must go to when you're staying here as the turtles literally come up to you and you can feed them.

I've been to Unawatuna 4 times/years and that beautiful place changes for worse.
There is new oversized monster-hotel, water scooters, loud music, fireworks, higher prices...
In last 2 years 90% of tourists are Russians - some restaurants are only in russian.
Most likely, I am not going back.

Unawatuna beach has beautiful water and golden sand.
Unawatuna beach has beautiful water and golden sand. The part of the beach where I visited, the ocean gets quite deep very fast, and the waves seem to cary you in quite easily. I haven't seen any lifeguards or flags that would indicate the wave's condition, but local people were very kind to give information.
If you like hiking, the city has a nice trail to a beach called Jungle beach. Trough the same trail, you can pass by the Japanese Peace Pagoda, and if you are lucky you might see monkeys and lizards. The trail is more or less 40 min one way.
The restaurants from the hotels are very much on the coast, sometimes seems to close from the beach. But the food quality is good and affordable, and lots of these restaurants offer alcohol.
I stayed one day in Unawatuna and it felt enough time to discover what the city has to offer.

Some great places to eat, generally inland a bit so do some research.
Perfect place if you want a 15min trip into Galle which is a must.

I heard that this used to be a great beach.
I heard that this used to be a great beach. Unfortunately I do not think it is today. Very exploited and there are many beach places renting out sunbeds. They can get away with having (very) crappy toilets because there are new tourists every day, they do not need a good review.
Having dinner on the beach was a strange experience, started out good but then a large company came and occupied the space next to us, ordering champagne, oysters and lobsters like there was no tomorrow, and we were forgotten about.
There are plenty of other beaches in Sri Lanka that are much better.

Easy to get to Galle and Secret Beach.
Easy to get to Galle and Secret Beach. Lots of shopping and busyness. Much different feel to other popular spots in SL
If it's rainy season, then get out in the morning. The rain usually comes in the afternoon
The hosts: Daniel and his wife, were absolutely amazing (you’d expect nothing less knowing Persian hospitality), location is great. Very comfortable and clean, food was also delicious (cooked by the hosts; even when we asked last minute and there was no staff available due to local NYE). The most enjoyable place out of all that we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka (7 hotels ranging from $10 per night to $400). It was a steal, given the quality. Absolutely amazing! Oh and the most memorable fragrance of incense in every corner 🧡
Property is at very good location. less than a km from unawatuna beach. many shops nearby. Room is big , clean and restroom is cleaned well. The host don't know much of english , so we struggled a bit for communication.we paid 1 day room amount for our 3 days stay. easy access to transport to galle and thalpe beach. Breakfast is available for a amount but there are shops nearby where you can get very affordable food. overall a great experience. Wifi is free. Good water flow in bathroom and hot water is available.
I recently had an amazing hotel stay at Serenity Boutique - Unawatuna in Sri Lanka. The hospitality was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make my experience memorable. The room was spacious, clean, and offered breathtaking views of the surroundings. The on-site dining was a culinary delight, featuring a variety of delicious local dishes. The hotel’s attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction truly made my stay unforgettable. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Sri Lanka.
Oh my God! We have seen many great reviews from this hotel before i booked it and YES, it is a great place to stay when you are in Unawatuna. a short walk from the beach in a quiet place, and we were extremly lucky because we were the only guest in the hotel. We loved every morning to wake up for bird songs and the bonus was to enjoy breakfast when a monkey family come to the trees and they waiting for their bananas. amazing. The stuff was super helpful, breakfast was excellent
Staff were extremely friendly. They chatted with my old father and helped cheer up crying toddler. and also accommodated early check in though we ended up arriving later. Hostess made lovely tea. Their son was very friendly. They accommodated breakfast for my toddler last minute which was very nice of the hosts. Real Sri Lankan friendliness at its best!
Away from main road so no vehicle noise. They closed the gate at night so it felt safe.
This hotel is very nice and cozy with beautiful decor, spaceous rooms. Breakfast is delicious, it is an open buffet, with fruits and local treats. Hotel manager was very helpful and met all our requests. Hotel is situated in a very quiet neighbourhood but in a short walking distance from the beach. We would definately come back to this hotel if we return to Unawatuna.
Extraordinary place with lovely and caring owner. They help with everything and even organized a birthday breakfast with flowers, cake and candle We had a huge room with a private terrasse right above the sea. Very quiet, you only hear the waves and the birds but only ten minutes walk to the Center or the sandy beach..Best Hotel we stayed in Sri Lanka!
We had a great stay in Hiding Unawatuna property. The location is very convenient, close to the beach and all restaurants. Homemade Sri Lankan style breakfast was delicious and huge! They have western breakfast too. The rooms are big, comfy and well equipped. And the owner's family is really friendly and helpful.
It is a really great hotel in terms of restaurants, food (unless you are not into spicy Sri Lankan cuisine, because there is almost nothing international available except for the breakfast), facilities, and staff.
Staff at the restaurants, in the lobby, by the pool, and the beach are amazing.
Breakfast was very tasty, the staff are all lovely and helpful. The hotel is up a fairly steep hill, we would usually walk down it and find a tuk tuk and sometimes walk up it if a tuk tuk couldn't take us up.
Very quiet location not too far from the main streets of Unawatuna
We where very happy with our stay at the Green Escape Unawatuna. The staff was sweet and helpfull, the food was great and the hotel had all you could ask for. The hotel is located in a nice area great for walking, yoga and going to the beach. We would very much recommend!
This hotel was absolutely beautiful. Perfect for a relaxing end to our tour of Sri Lanka!! We’d spent a week touring the hill country (Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Ella) and this pristine boutique hotel was the perfect place to relax on the beach to finish our trip!
A real beach house as you imagine. We had some wonderful days in the off-season. The hotel ist directly at the beach, the staff super friendly. And we even got a free upgrade of our room. Absolutely a recommendation at Unawatuna beach.
clean, hot water, comfortable bed, balcony, private, access to shared kitchen, lovely owners, close to the beach and a short bike / tuk tuk ride to central unawatuna. one of the best places we’ve stayed in sri lanka by far <3
Great location, out of town, but within walking distance.
Wonderful welcone from hotel owners.
Quiet poolside, with loungers & shady trees.
Airy studio room, with private balcony, nice sea view, air con & ceiling fans.
The location was great. Close to Unawatuna and turtle beach but far from the crowds. We could go swimming at the front of the hotel. Big garden and lovely staff for our 3 year or old son to run around and play
Staff were the most friendly people ever!! Breakfast was delicious. Perfect little spot away from the hustle & bustle of Unawatuna felt like Sri Lanka which the beach didn’t.
Service excellent, hotel location great with awesome views to Galle and whole of the bay . I would happily recommend this hotel . The room and bed were excellent.
Cozy jungle cottage right in the heart of town. It was walkable to everything you need, and the staff was very helpful. It was our favorite stay in Sri Lanka
