    It's a really nice property with great staff and great service. It's relaxing to have a place like this out from the madness of the local town. Good food, too.

    Comfortable, clean hotel with great location near to the Unawatuna beach. The staff was polite and helpful. I would say it was one of the best hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka. We had a room with a king-size bed.

    Dunes was like an oasis in the crazy busy unawatuna. The breakfast was the most beautiful and delicious. I loved it! The garden was beautiful and we were sad only to stay one night.
