Hotels With Pools in Southern Province, Sri Lanka

Had a great time and enjoyed some truly stunning views 😍 The staff were lovely and friendly but at times had to request or remind them about certain things, perhaps because we’re South Asians as most guests seemed to be Western. Some amenities listed such as toothpaste, toothbrush, slippers and a razor were not provided which was a little disappointing considering the price paid. Also noticed a few stains on the toilet floor and white curtains though it wasn’t a major issue. The breakfast buffet was good but wish there had been more variety. Overall had a lovely and memorable stay and really enjoyed the trip with my best friend.

The breakfast and dinner buffet is very good.I asked for masala tea and their indian chef Balbeer Singh made it to perfection.The rooms are spacious and clean. Friendly and helpful staff.We are taken care of very well by Jayaru and Nelka. We were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and the hotel made it very special. The only mark down for the hotel is lack of sun loungers and parasols for the guests.You are constantly struggling to get shade under the trees.A 5 star hotel should make provision for their guests.As they would have details of all bookings.

We arrived at a fully booked hotel. It was terrible. It was mostly Russian package holidaymakers (families or seniors), with very few young people. It's a good thing we only spent two nights there; we wanted to leave the next day. Breakfast was so crowded that you'd spend five minutes walking around with your plate looking for a free table. The Russians seemed starved, scooping up food and pushing each other. On the beach, the sun loungers were so close together, it was as if they were lying on top of each other, there was no privacy. The beach was small, cluttered with boats, the sand was unpleasant, and the bottom was rocky. The rooftop pool requires a fee if you live below the 9th floor; it's unclear how to get this information when booking.

素晴らしいホテルです！ ホテルに入ると、まずは吹き抜けの美しい建築デザインと緻密に計算された家具の衣装と配置に目を奪われます。 トータルコーディネートが完璧です。 部屋の設備も素晴らしく、フカフカのダブルベッドは清潔でぐっすり眠れました。 フォート内のホテルに泊まるか迷っていましたが、郊外にあるこちらを選択したのは間違いなく正解でした。 ゴールを再訪した際は必ずまた泊まりに来ます。

Overall, we liked the hotel. Located in the small CoCobay Bay. Around the silence, only disrupted by the noise of waves, constantly rolling on the shore. The hotel is small - only 16 rooms, so the situation is chamber, almost family. Guests have a measured pace of rest - breakfast, beach, afternoon rest and beach again. In the evening dinner on the menu. And if breakfast in the hotel is modest and uniform, the kitchen is able to surprise at dinner. The main dish is distinct from a beautiful feed and always delicious. And the menu every day is new. The rooms are large, all with ocean view. The air conditioner works well. You get tired of the sun even in the shadow, so you enjoy the room at noon. Hotel is mainly for family couples and families with children. Some parents pay for children's surfing lessons here because compared to other beaches here, the soft wave is not deep. The surfing board can be rented here at the hotel. Another plus hotel - there are no sellers of all kinds. The lying vacationers are closely monitored. You can leave a phone in the bag and go swimming, and go back to the Internet, lying on a cheeslong There is a minus that is not noticed - a river falls in the ocean next to the hotel and after the rain it carries brown water in it. So clean and transparent water you will not see here. And here on the main beach in Unawatun water is just a pleasant blue-turquoise color. Maybe in the dry season the water in CoCoBay Bay looks different, but we were in October and rains went here every day.

Nestled by the lake with expansive lawns, the hotel offers a truly wonderful environment. The room amenities were also excellent. It was delightful to spot various small birds and squirrels freely roaming the lobby and playing on the hotel's grounds – our children were absolutely thrilled. The swimming pool was also fantastic, and there was so much for the kids to do right on-site that they barely needed to leave the hotel. Breakfast was a generous spread, and the service was exceptionally warm. They can arrange transport to Yala and Bundala. Unfortunately, it wasn't bird-watching season, so we missed out on Bundala. However, should we visit Bundala again, we would definitely choose to stay here.

From the moment we booked we were made to feel welcome. On arrival the staff were welcoming and we found all the amenities needed in the room. We did not have a main meal in the hotel but we both went for breakfast which I must say was amazing. Thank you we will be back.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful stay at Elaya Resort Unawatuna. The hotel is beautifully designed with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, modern, and exceptionally clean. The swimming pools and common areas were excellent, making it a perfect place to relax. What made the experience truly special was the warm hospitality of the staff. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The service and staff were amazing — always smiling, friendly, and ready to assist at any time. Their kindness and professionalism made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was delicious, and the breakfast offered a great variety of fresh options. The location is ideal, close to Unawatuna Beach while still providing a quiet and relaxing environment. I highly recommend Elaya Resort Unawatuna to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in Sri Lanka. I would definitely love to visit again. Thank you to the entire team for making us feel welcome and well taken care of!

The hotel is in a good location, the room is spacious, and fruits are provided. The price of dinner in the restaurant is medium. Unfortunately, it comes with a 10-minute massage per person, but there is only one masseur. This needs to be improved because it rained heavily on the day we arrived and the outdoor swimming pool was unavailable.
