It is value for money, food is excellent, beach is year round good... More

The photos look lovely but there is no mention of the renovations. They try hard to make up for this but there is constant noise. When I asked if the clerk at the desk could do me a favour and ring a head to a guest house in Ella for a booking that night he said twice the phone number... More

Room is BIG with balcony and sea/pool views, very spacious bathroom, and all the amenities (room safe, refrig, kettle, beach towels etc.). The staff is so friendly... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to make some observations about our our hotel. As you have pointed out, the necessity of upgrading and in some cases completely rebuilding, not just refurbishing, is vital. UBR has suffered from years of structural neglect and in the last year and half we have made every effort to improve the infrastructure... More

Rooms are spacious & clean, although are a bit dated. Restaurant is good value & the bar prices are fairly cheap. Right on the beach in the middle of Unawatuna. The pool looks nice but is not cooling at all, water temp is very warm.

The hotel is very good. The rooms as well. It was the busiest hotel from my two weeks stay in Sri Lanka. Even some government cars in a parking lot. So it really must be popular. The beach is nice with good access to sea. Plenty of various levels of restaurants on the beach around. Good place to relax on... More
