"Such a lovely hotel, situated on a quiet, beautiful beach. All staff here and at the sister hotel a short walk away were amazing, with a special mention to Rosin and Nedmina (sorry I couldn’t quite remember your full name!) We loved being able to swim in the sea just outside and walking along the beach. A great, comfortable base for exploring the South Coast. Lovely food too-eating on the beach was a real treat!"

"Wir waren 5 Tage im Neem-Hotel und es war mit Abstand das schönste Hotel unserer gesamten Sri-Lanka-Reise. Madiha ist ein ruhiger, entspannter Ort – perfekt zum Abschalten. Für Advanced Surfer ist der Spot ideal. Das Hotel ist in allen Belangen überragend: wunderschöne Zimmer, ein toller Pool und ein sehr stimmiges, hochwertiges Design. Die Architektur und Gestaltung der Schweizer Architektin und Inhaberin ist extrem gelungen und schafft eine besondere Atmosphäre. Alle Mitarbeiter sind...

Outpost Weligama Beachfront

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing"

Hotel Ferola

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is well located a few minutes walk to the beach. The staff are great and attentive to all your needs. They go the extra mile all the time to ensure your stay is special. Breakfast is excellent with all cusines available. The NY eve gala dinner had live music, superb food banquet and a beach bbq. Seafood, meat and sushi available. Like a wedding feast. Great fun and well organised."

Hotel Flower Garden

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here many time. Staff amazing and place really beautiful. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Unawatuna. Good Wi-Fi in communal areas (doesn’t quite reach all rooms). The eco friendly question hotels.com asks is difficult to answer. They give lots of bottled water, which I guess isn’t very eco-friendly - but that is what tourists want. I guess maybe if they had a large central water dispenser people could refill bottles for that would reduce plastic use. I think some tourists might complain though. It is a difficult issue for a Sri Lankan hotel "
