The place is very clean, spacious room, bed is super comfortable, and the shower is great. Overall, it was a good experience. The staff (Chanuka) is super friendly and goes above and beyond. Small gestures go a long way, such as complimentary drinks and a goodbye gift. The manager is always just a WhatsApp message away and attends to all your needs and concerns. He even gave me a late check-out for free, which is highly appreciated. They helped me get a transfer to Negombo, where I booked for my last night before the airport. They offered beach towels in the room and breakfast at the restaurant just across the road (Hot Rock). While I didn't try the breakfast, I had lunch there, and the food was delicious, very clean, and is also right on the beach where you get sunbeds and beach chairs.

The price is quite hefty compared to similar accommodations around the area, charging equivalent to 4 and 5 stars hotels (300$+ for 3 nights!) While the accommodation is comfortable, it is still considered basic in comparison. The roof leaked when it rained outside. WiFi was spotty, and there is quite some noise from next door's bar of loud music and fireworks, as well as some construction nearby.

A nice spacious room, with a very comfy bed, powerful AC, and every amenity one could need, right down to beach hats and tote and beach towels! The bathroom was sparkling clean too, great fixtures with an excellent shower! The room is cleaned everyday, even little details like the pretty arrangements with bath towels! It's run by the same people who own Hot Rock just opposite, so we had all-time access to their sunbeds and cabanas without needing to pay. The food is pretty good there anyway, so we ate there a couple of times too! And the nicest part - super friendly people, and really helpful too. Chanuka (sorry if I misspelled his name!) was so cheerful and kind, and welcomed us with a very refreshing juice, and surprised us with a lovely snack of hoppers and juice one of the evenings! Oh and finally, the location!!! Absolutely perfect, just a hop skip through to the beach 😀 Overall, a wonderful stay!

Located in the centre of Unawatuna, the guesthouse offers good value for money. The host goes above and beyond to make your stay extraordinary. Stayed at the top floor with an amazing view of the ocean. The room has all you need - comfortable bed, AC, bathroom and even an umbrella.

You may hear some noises from neighbouring spots but they close around midnight.

First off, the price was unbelievable for what we got! Seriously, it's hands down the best hotel for the price I've stayed at in Sri Lanka. The staff were super friendly, and you could really feel the good management. It was just perfect! Our room (The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View) was spacious, clean, and had the most amazing view of the sea. The beach was pristine and quiet, with warm water and gentle waves in the afternoon. And let me tell you, staying here felt like being at home with family. Everything was spotlessly clean, the beds even had mosquito protection, and the food in the restaurant was incredible. They even made fresh juices on the spot! Plus, being just steps away from the ocean was unbeatable. We lucked out and got a room with a direct ocean view - it was absolutely breathtaking. And the service? Top-notch. Cahlindu and the staff went above and beyond to make our vacation the best one yet. They even arranged a free late checkout. Plus, they shared invaluable local tips through WhatsApp. The attention to detail, from the elegant decor to the thoughtful amenities, was incredible. Pure magic. If we ever visit Unawatuna again, you can bet we'll be booking this place without a second thought.

This hotel is clean, spacious and has an amazing view of the ocean. The staff are friendly and the breakfast was delicious and is served in the restaurant on the beach in front of the hotel. On the day of checkout, the restaurant was closed as it was a holiday. Breakfast was served to me on my balcony which was a nice touch as I could leisurely finalize my packing and eat breakfast with the view of the beach. The beach is literally across a small street. Sunbeds, umbrellas, and beach towels are all provided. The room is cleaned daily. Besides the restaurant in front of the hotel, there are lots of other restaurants along the street serving a variety of cuisines.

The room does not have a mirror. The bathroom has one but would be nice to have a mirror in the room.

Our stay at Waves Unawatuna was nothing short of extraordinary! The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View provided not only a breathtaking panorama but also a cozy and well-appointed space. The owner's hospitality was exceptional; they arranged a free late checkout, and a comfy baby crib for our little one, and shared invaluable local tips through WhatsApp. We were pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail, from the room's elegant decor to the thoughtful amenities. The sumptuous breakfast served against the backdrop of the mesmerizing sea view added a delightful touch. Throughout our stay, the owner's genuine interest in ensuring our comfort and enjoyment stood out, making our experience truly unforgettable. If I were to visit Unawatuna again, I would definitely book this place again.

There's honestly nothing to critique about our stay—every aspect of Waves Unawatuna exceeded our expectations.

Immaculately clean and beautifully presented room. The location was superb with a stunning view across the bay. The excellent staff also ensured we had sun beds and an umbrella reserved for us each day. They also delivered complimentary snacks and drinks to our apartment each day and were the friendliest most attentive hoteliers we have ever come across in all our travels.

Nothing

This property is just across the Unawatuna beach. The vibe was so relaxing and the staff (Chanuka) was a super host who went above and beyond to make it comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable and exceptionally clean. I loved it and definitely would stay again

I liked everything

This place is amazing. Perfect view of the beach and also clean. Right across the road to the beach and beach club / restaurant. Room is big, clean and also had our own private balcony. We stayed on the top floor. Really peaceful could hear the ocean with h the door closed....

The location was perfect! Away from the hustle & bustle area, but close enough to easily reach. A breathtaking view from the balcony. The room was so breezy & everything felt very well thought through. High quality furniture & linens. An AMAZING shower & THE BEST team working. They even gave a farewell gift! Highly recommended!
