Nous avons séjourné 2 nuits dans cet établissement et tout était parfait : la chambre avec sa terrasse, la gentillesse du personnel et leur bienveillance, la piscine, la situation géographique à 2 pas de la plage… rien à redire si ce n’est MERCI 🙏

Красивый отель с большой территорией. Находится в 10 минутах ходьбы от океана. Номера чистые. Каждый день прибирали. Душевая отгорожена от унитаза дверью, ванная не залита. Насекомых никаких не было. Два бассейна: взрослый и детский. Завтрак: есть что выбрать. Фрукты, грабы в кляре, сосиски, панкейки, овощи, рис, рыбка иногда, папая, ананасы и бананы. Чай, кофе и сок. Тосты с джемами. Wi-fi нас радовал. Есть озеро. И живешь как в джунглях. У бассейна на лежаках полотенца. По территории бегают пальмовые белки, ящерки, один раз видели большую ящерицу. Обезъянки живут прям на территории отеля. Алкоголь в баре платный, но брали и пиво и коктейли. Кушали в кафе разных, потому что они от отеля в 4 минутах ходьбы. Рядом с отелем автобусная остановка. И на 350 автобусе сразу можно до форт Галле доехать. До черепашьего пляжа ок 2 км, мы пешком иногда ходили, иногда на тук туке. На английском говорят и написано все на английском.

What a perfect stay for the first leg of our Sri Lankan holiday. Our room was a good size and well equipped. The veranda looked out over a very clean and perfect temperature pool surrounded by extremely comfortable sun loungers. With the lake and beautifully manicured gardens, it offers a peaceful location to relax. You can imagine the main hotel as its former residence to the Governor in all it's elegant grandeur. The staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect location for a saunter to shops, cafes and restaurants. However the highlight has to be THE most delicious vegetable curries with fish or chicken - ask for 'no bones'. Not only is it THE best Sri Lankan curry we have had but great value. Head to the Jungle Beach with a tuk tuk - steep climb but worth it. Sunbeds, umbrellas and café. Even a nice clean loo there!

There are two types of rooms. Some new and spacious, old ones not that big. Rooms were clean. Spacious pool. Less variety in food, less choice. Service satisfactory. Small, limited garden… Not worth the money spent.

Отель оставил только положительные впечатления. Каждое утро я наслаждалась природой. Много зелени, птиц и животных вокруг, милая территория - это просто кусочек рая. Отель вообще атмосферный благодаря природе и остаткам старины. Наш номер был опрятный, чистый и со всем необходимым, завтраки тоже очень понравились. Спасибо большое персоналу отеля, мы остались всем довольны. Сама по себе Унаватуна не лучшее место для отдыха на Шри Ланке но этот отель определенно улучшил наши впечатления.

من اجمل الفنادق التي سكنتها، فندق يجمع بين متحف ومكان رائع كقصر، حديقة كبيرة وبركة، والموقع مثالي في نصف المنطقة. كانها بالفعل قصر وتحتاج إلى أكثر من يوم لتستمتع فيه، والحقيقة أن الموظفين رائعين أيضا. مكان يستحق الزيارة مقابل السعر. والسيد نيمال مدير المكان رائع ايضا

We started our Sri Lanka adventure on this hotel which is a old and very fine building which was previously the home of the Dutch governor. The hotel is not a fancy one and grounds could use a bit more attention. Additionally pigeons, wild dogs and monkeys make it a bit too crowded for me ... eg. when having lunch by the pool. One of the days my son actually had to jump in the pool to rescue a drowning dog ... after it had been beaten up by the monkeys. But the rooms were nice (and connecting 👍🏼) and service impeccable.

I had the privilege of experiencing a truly enchanting stay at a heritage hotel, complete with a colonial house and its own residence. The entrance to the property, adorned with a captivating long walkway, was a sight to behold. The culinary delights prepared on-site surpassed all expectations, eliminating the need for dining elsewhere. Although our exploration of the area was hindered by rainfall, the pool offered a mesmerizing vista of the mountains, ensuring delightful entertainment throughout our stay.
