    The view was simply gorgeous. The breakfast each morning was authentic and tasty. And the room was just like the photos depicted on the website were I booked.

    I would suggest to everyone who visits Unawatuna. The location is good, near to the beach and with an amazing view. The people are so lovely. And I am not even talking about their breakfasts. Great)
