Cocobay Unawatuna is a ‘safe and secure’ boutique-style beachfront resort that features a beachfront restaurant, beach deck for dining and an outdoor pool offering access to 200 meters of sandy beach...

We had just one night in the Hotel and because of that we arrived very early in the morning. Of course we didn’t expect that the room will be finish- but the staff was super friendly and arranged a room for us. The reason they told us was that we will stay just for one night and should enjoy the room as long as possible. Great! Additional: I had a surfing lesson from the lifeguard. That was super professional for an average price level. In the evening we booked the private grill diner next to the beach. That was very, very good. The quality of the meat was extraordinary. The Chef Cooker Samarajeewa and his colleague Rag presented us a lovely evening with a lot of interesting talks about Sri Lanka.

A really great hotel with a party vibe. I was worried about other reviews saying the music was too loud, but we couldn't hear it from our room. Really attentive staff. Nice food. Great beach. Great location. Only 15m tuk tuk ride from Galle

Situated in Unawatuna, 200 metres from Talpe Beach, Royal Indigo Villa features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

We had a fantastic stay at The Royal Indigo Villas. The room was spotless, and the entire complex was well-maintained, making it feel fresh and comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant manager was especially kind always giving extra attention to guests and ensuring our stay was perfect. The Villa is a boutique retreat, ideal for relaxation or family gatherings. Plus, it’s just a short Tuk Tuk trip from the lively Unawatuna shopping and restaurant strip The complex has been architecturally deigned with so much attention to detail and quality. We had a wonderful stay and built great memories with staff and the Villa owner Stuart and his family.

    Sadly not a lot to do here.

    Sadly not a lot to do here. Restaurants menus are similar where ever you choose to eat. Shopping is limited. Beach was good and fairly clean. A weekend (2 nights) would've been plenty of time to spend in Ulawatuna. Lots of tuk tuks around but constantly pestered being asked if I needed one. Lots of people selling things on the beach, some are very persistent. Also had people approach begging for money. 1 followed me for 5 minutes and kept trying to grab my arm.

    Unawatana has a splendid beach.

    Unawatana has a splendid beach. There are lots of places to stay and eat. We ate in 2 good places, one on the beach with varied food, mostly fish, very good and one Sri Lankan food which was great A downside is that behind the beach is a bit of a shop/cafe/rooms strip. But you don’t have to go there

    Unawatuna has a long and beautiful white sand beach and a turquoise blue sea. It's a good base for those wishing to visit attractions in southern sri lanka (national parks/tea plantations etc.), but is not very lively in terms of nightlife, and I was surprised to find around 80% of other tourists were Russianr.

    Unawatuna beach is a nice beach behind a reef with turtles swimming and snorkeling. It has a narrow sand strip and at high tide the water comes up to the wall. there were a number of families, local and foreign with young children playing in the shallow part and feeding the turtles. There are a number of restaurants along the beach.

    Beautiful and relaxing locations, nice restaurants and beach. Very bad transport situation. "Tuk-tuk mafia" is everywhere, so Uber drivers are scared to pick you up and drop off almost at every popular location.

    Unawatuna is a bustling tourist town with many shops and restaurants. Because of its narrow streets and limited parking it is sometimes an interesting challenge to drive or walk through the town, but very worth the experience. Unawatuna is very close to Galle. Our last night, we drove to Galle, one of my favorite places, and dined at the Peddler’s Inn. Great food, especially the salad which they made with mango. The establishment does not serve alcohol.

    This hotel offers an amazing experience with everything you need for a luxurious stay. The buffet, with its variety of local and international dishes, was excellent, and the multiple restaurants added great dining options. The spacious, well-decorated rooms featured stunning views of the ocean, beach, and greenery – a perfect place to relax. Located near shops and restaurants, it’s ideal for exploring Unawatuna. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of luxury and convenience in paradise!
