    • The hotel is right on the beach with a new pool. The breakfast was incredible as were all the meals. The staff is really friendly.
    • Amazing staff, really friendly and always willing to help. Clean room, big bed and ocean view from balcony. Good food. Location right on the beach.
    • Lovely big rooms, great shower, big balcony. Right on the beach, couldn’t fault it!

    Cons -

    • If booking for Saturday beware that they have loud music till 3 am.
    • Location, rooms, beach, gazebo
    • The wifi didn't work. Since we didn't had a local number, it was difficult to contact our driver. When I informed the staff, their response was neutral and from there tone I understood that it is not going to be fixed. Since I was there just for a day, I didn't bother much. They also don't have landline phones in the room for contacting reception, so I again had to walk all the way down to reception every time I needed something. They didn't had blankets as well. We travelled with our 18 month old and it gets chilly in the night with AC. Overall I found it not value for money. The only great thing about this hotel is the location

    Hotel directly on beach with friendly and helpfull staff. Currently only 4 rooms available as new block being built. (Opening end 2025 apparently) Very comfortable rooms with nice balcony and great shower

    Area heavily caters for Russian tourism.'Walk in' guests can make it busy

    This hotel I am told is 1 of the first hotels on the beautiful Unawatuna beach. Its at the end of the road so you pass a lot cute little shops selling all sorts of locally made things and food. The entrance to the hotel has a nice welcoming feel and VERY CLEAN! As you walk in the beach is visible, so you know you have come to the right place. The rooms are beautiful, large beds, great AC and LOVE the balcony area. It really is nice to sit here and sip on a drink and enjoy some down time. The beds are super comfortable too. Highly recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast!!!

    Nothing to mention as such. More vegan options would be great though. Whilst they do vegan dishes for you on request, would be great to have a few more.

    Fabulous location right on the beach. The guy on the door was outstanding.

    Important to note the late night loud party on a Saturday night. We weren’t so keen on the bacon and sausage breakfast but the staff were very keen to provide us with another option.

    8PaulaPosted on: 8-24-2024

    We have had a great experience at Kingfisher. The Staff was very helpful and kind. The bedroom was very clean with a comfortable bed and a lovely view to the sea. Food was great too. Seafront great location

    They had a very loud party at the hotel on Saturday eve which we couldn’t sleep until 4am.

    Breakfast that staff should inform the guest up on arrival that if need local should order in advance

    10MarlonPosted on: 8-9-2024

    Fantastic location with an amazing restaurant and big spacious rooms. The property was well maintained and the staff were very attentive and provided an excellent service right throughout our stay.

    8SarahPosted on: 8-8-2024

    We had a great time here. The staff was kind and helpful: one evening there was a party at the hotel and we could not sleep. They quickly came up with a solution. The location is convenient and the hotel and room are beautiful.

    The shower sink was not cleaned properly causing the shower to flood. The breakfast options were a bit limited. There is quite some reconstruction work going on around the hotel causing noise, but this is ofcourse out of the hotels’ control.

    9UrsulaPosted on: 8-1-2024

    We had a great stay at Kingfisher. Great location, comfortable rooms, very clean, tasty food and delicious cocktails. The staff is very friendly and looked after us well. We will definitely come back!

    Room was beautiful, view of the sea, nice balcony with comfy table and chairs. Good shower. Nice decor, had almost a French feel and felt homely. One of the nicest places at this beach. Positioned well on the beach.

    Don't stay on a Saturday night as they have a party night every week unless this is why you are there. We found this out after booking in for 3 nights on the day. Party means thumping dance music that finishes at 4am. It was like trying to sleep in the middle of a dance floor. They need to decide if they are in the hotel business or clubbing. It was offensive.When we checked in the guy didn't get that we would only pay what was the Booking.com price and had to call his boss. It did get sorted. We were told at breakfast on the first morning that there were 2 options an English or Sri Lanka breakfast but you have to advise the day before for the Sri Lankan breakfast. They should tell you this at checkin. Weirdly if you ordered a drink at the bar you then had to walk to reception to pay. Great room but everything else wasn't good.
