The staff were amazing from start to finish. They went over and beyond right from the moment we entered the hotel, greeting us and ensuring our staff was comfortable and we were happy.

Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay! The morning of checkin, my partner put his back out and was as bed-bound for almost a week while it healed. We ended up extending our stay to almost two weeks to allow him time to get better and we’re so thankful we were checking into such a lovely hotel when this happened!
Our room (studio with terrace) was massive, the pictures don’t do it justice at all, beautiful big windows/doors with a lovely view of the garden letting in loads of light (but with big proper curtains for privacy if you want it) A comfy sofa and arm chair, dining table, kitchen with huge fridge and ample cooking facilities, lovely bathroom. The mattress was probably the best we’ve ever slept on in a hotel, so comfy, great pillows too. The AC was amazing and room very well insulated, we could turn the AC off all day while we were out and we’d come back to a room still cool. Plus the room was super clean and considering we were on the ground floor we were surprise we didn’t have any ants or bugs at all in the room. Lovely big pool that’s cleaned & maintained several times a week by a pool professional, big comfy, padded sun loungers. Tasty and varied breakfast menu - because we were there so long we tried everything on the menu and it’s all delicious and served fresh to order. Proper good French press coffee! Everyone who works there is happy and helpful and full of smiles and you can tell it’s a family run place. FREE water refills were a life saver! Two very cute cats owned by the family were also a joy to play with.
Some might fear the location is a little out of town but it’s a short 10 minute walk down the hill and you’re at the beach or in town, and there are a number of restaurants just around the corner from the hotel anyway as well as a small local shop selling snacks and drinks for a very reasonable price. Also, there are loads of options on Uber eats that deliver to the hotel if you want a chilled night in.

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.

Its a great beach, much busier than it used to be.
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.
Nice and safe

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.
The hotel is perfectly located on Unawatuna beach. Accessing the area via the beach is the best option providing you with a plethora of restaurants and bars both along the beach and adjacent to the hotel. The rooms were massive, even the standard rooms. They possess a large bathroom, with very good walk in shower and bathtub. TV channel selection was the best we had in country and WIFI was good, although a little slow when there was a massive crowd over a weekend for weddings. This was one of the best stays we had in Sri Lanka.
"Dunes Unawatuna Hotel was a delightful experience for us as a couple. Its location offers unparalleled ease of access to the town, Rumassala, and the stunning Unawatuna beach. The hotel exudes a charming antique vibe that's both captivating and nostalgic. We were particularly smitten by the beautifully maintained garden. The rooms were spotless, and the comfortable, spacious bed ensured a restful sleep. The staff's warmth and friendliness truly enhanced our stay. Highly recommended!"
Amazing views, from the balconies & especially the roof terrace. The breakfast is amazing, everything is freshly prepared on the roof top while you are gazing out over the ocean. Clean and neat rooms/bathroom, staff member Charles was brilliant, always friendly and very helpful. Hotel owner helped to arrange a ride to Ella for a very fair price. Tucked away in the mountains, super close to the beach and town. Definitely recommend this place for a couple of nights in Unawatuna.
We recently stayed for 6 nights at Galle Henna Beach House, located at the peaceful end of Unawatuna Beach. Its prime location offers easy beach access and proximity to great restaurants. The staff were incredibly welcoming, ensuring a comfortable stay. The breakfast, offering both continental and traditional Sri Lankan options, was consistently delightful. Galle Henna Beach House comes highly recommended for its serene setting, friendly service, and delicious breakfast.
The owners of this hotel are wonderful the staff are lovely and friendly, the rooms are spacious with very comfy beds and sofas. Wi-Fi is outstanding. Swimming pool huge. Omelettes are perfect and great coffee. Monkeys can be seen in the trees from the garden and the location is perfect it sits only a short walk from jungle beach which has a great restaurant and the beach is beautiful and the village on Unawatuna with loads of amazing beach restaurants and little shops.
We stay in this hotel for a 3th time. It is a small hotel with beautiful garden and amazing view over the ocean and the waves crashing in the rocks. We stay in a cabana, which has a very comfortable bed, spacious bathroom and large furnished veranda with view to the garden and the ocean. The staff are very friendly and provide perfect service. Very clean and properly kept.
Beach is good for walking. Unawatuna is very short tuk-tuk drive away.
I stayed at Sea view Villa, close to Unawatuna beach and it was great. The hotel is right by the beach, so you get amazing views. The room was simple but comfy and had lots of space. The breakfast was delicious, and you can also have lunch and dinner there. The owners are super friendly and nice, which made my stay even better. I definitely recommend this hotel if you want a relaxing stay with great views and yummy food.
This hotel was the last hotel we stayed at during our Sri Lanka trip and we were very satisfied with our stay. The staff was really helpful, food and drinks were great, room had a beautiful view and also a great shower and the pool at the rooftop bar was simply amazing. Def recommend! Location is near Jungle Beach and is very quiet which is perfect to enjoy a good night's rest.
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.
Really lovely hotel, fantastic location and the service was brilliant! They had spare beach towels, hats and bags to make it easier to not get your things sandy, and free filtered water which was brilliant. We had such a long chat with the owner and he was so lovely and incredibly knowledgeable about Sri Lankan history and couldn't do enough for us!
a true sample of excellent hospitality!
Without a doubt one of the favorite hotels, I stayed at during my time in Sri Lanka! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and general manager, our names were mentioned on the board and we were upgraded to the sea view Room. The staff was extremely friendly
Everyone was very nice and helpful, the breakfast was also good (different choices between Sri Lankan & western breakfast). Very comfortable bed as well! The location is great - very close to the beach, but also very quiet. We highly recommend this hotel when staying in Unawatuna.
The location is amazing and ideal. Right on the beach. The dining area and lounge under the palms and umbrellas provide picturesque views and close to the water. I stayed in a vintage room that was wonderfully Sri Lankan and had all the amenities.
Our room was very spacious and the view of the ocean from the balcony was incredible, definitely worth paying extra for. The pool area and garden was nice. Food was excellent, especially the Sri Lankan curry, the portion was massive as well.
It was one of the most well-conditioned and clean hotel I saw on Sri Lanka. Nice room, a lot of space. Extremely friendly hosts 😊 they almost everyday asked us what did we want for the breakfast. My recommendation!
We liked everything about this hotel! Everything was great! The rooms are clean and beautiful with amazing view to the pool! The staff were so kind to us. Best hotel in sri lanka we will definitely come back 😁
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
Great hotel! Clean and nice rooms with balconies and a great view of the ocean. Superb breakfast (Sri Lankan, or English). Very helpful owners/staff and an easy walk down to the beach.
The hotel is much better than most others in Sri Lanka. It’s not perfect but you are unlikely to find something better for the price. Close to the beach, large bed, quite clean.
